Now little lisa is only 9 years old
She's trying to figure out why her world is so cold
Why she's all alone and they never met her family
Mommy's always gone and she never met her daddy
Part of her is missing and nobody will listen
Mama's on drugs getting high up in the kitchen
Bringing home men at different hours at the night
Starting with some laughs-- usually ending in a fight
Sneak into her room while her mommy's knocked out
Trying to have his way and little lisa says 'ouch'
She tries to resist but then all he does is beat her
Tries to tell her mum but her mommy don't believe her
Lisa's stuck up in the world on her own
Forced to think that hell is a place called home
Nothing else to do but get some clothes and pack
She says she's 'bout to run away and never come back.

Little Nicole is only 10 years old
She's steady trying to figure why her world is so cold
Why she's not pretty and nobody seems to like her
Alcoholic step dad always wanna strike her
Yells and abuses, leaves her with some bruises
Teachers ask questions she's making up excuses
Bleeding on the inside, crying on the out
There's only one girl really knows what she's about
Her name is little Stacy and they become friends
Promise that they always be tight till the end
Until one day little stacy gets shot
A drive by bullet went stray up on her block
Now Nicole's stuck up in the world on her own
Forced to think that hell is a place called home
Nothin else to do but get her clothes and pack
She says she's 'bout to run away and never come back.

*Verse 3 - Ludacris*
Little Erica is eleven years old
She's steady trying to figure why her world is so cold
So she pops x to get rid of all the pain
Plus she's having sex with a boy who's sixteen
Emotions run deep and she thinks she's in love
So theres no protection he's using no gloves
Never thinking about the consequences of her actions
Living for today and not tomorrows satisfaction
The days go by and her belly gets big
The father bails out he ain't ready for a kid
Knowing her mommy will blow it all outta proportion
Plus she lives poor so no money for abortion
Erica's stuck up in the world on her own
Forced to think that hell is a place called home
Nothing else to do but get her clothes and pack
She say she's 'bout to run away and never come back.

Runaway love (x8)..
Runaway runaway love
don't keep running away
I'll run away with you if you want me to
*ludacris*
I can only imagine what you're going through ladies
sometimes I feel like running away myself
so do me a favour right now and close your eyes and picture us running away together
and when we come back everything's gonna be okay
open you eyes..
