[Wyclef]
To my people doing time
To my people rest in peace (y`all ready for the refugee camp?)
Introducing Earth, Wind & Fire
Yah yah yah
Come on come on come on
No money in my pocket
Gotta get a no limit
So I became America`s most wanted
All I ever wanted was a fancy car
A crib for my mom and a mastercard
Baby you know it`s in Hollywood
New cop flicks with Clint Eastwood
Went from a teen to a young adult
No excuses aint`t my fault
[Bridge]
Runaway
We living like runaways
Wake up
Stretching in the morning
Trying to make it through the day
Brush my teeth
Hit the streets
Where there`s heat
We afford to beef
Hoping one day
We don`t have to run away
(Gotta Escape)
[Chorus]
I didn`t want to runaway
But I had to get a way yo (gotta get away)
We didn`t want to runaway
But we had to get away yo (gotta get away)
I didn`t want to leave astray
But sometimes I gotta get away yo (gotta get away)
I didn`t want to go away
But I had to go away yo
Yo G&B where you at?
[Product G&B]
Momma came home from a hard days work
At day time a maid at night time a nurse
Work so hard to make sure we survived
Living a ghetto paradise
Sometimes I wake up screaming in the middle of the night
Hoping that darkness brings me light
Praying for that better day where we won`t have to runaway
[Bridge]
Runaway
We living like runaways
Wake up
Stretching in the morning
Trying to make it through the day
Brush my teeth
Hit the streets
Where there`s heat
We afford to beef
Hoping one day
We don`t have to run away
[Chorus]
I didn`t want to runaway
But I had to get a way yo (gotta get away)
We didn`t want to runaway
But we had to get away yo (gotta get away)
I didn`t want to leave astray
But sometimes I gotta get away yo (gotta get away)
I didn`t want to go away
But I had to go away yo
Ladies and gentleman Earth, Wind & Fire
