Runaway

Married men act totally different when they by theyself don't they?

You see him with their wife, "What's up Tony

Hey, man, how's everything goin' brother?"

"Aw, just takin' it easy, hanging out with the old lady"

"Alright, God bless you, take it easy now, alright"

Feel like, that **** ain't like that

He's thinking 'bout himself, "What's up Tony?"

"Hey, where's the bitches at, ****?

Where's the bitches?"

Yeah, give me my space

Lord, ain't enough time to chase all these dream

Know what I mean, I got no time to wait

Love my girl but I told her straight up, don't wait up

Stumble home late, I'm drunk, we fucked and made up

You still livin' free as a bird but now I'm laid up

Feelin' like a **** got handcuffs on

How the fuck did my life become a damn love song?

She ride for a **** and she stand up for him

But a **** wan' be a ****, be a ****

Ride through the streets with freaks and real ****

She never understand what it's like to be a man

Knowin' when you look inside yourself, you see a ****

And you don't wanna let her down

But you're too young for the settle down

And maybe you can thug it out, learn what this love about

When you can't live with her and you can't live without

Aw shit, goddamn, I think the devil got his hands on me

Stripper saying, "Baby, why don't you throw them bands on me?"

And I came to spend

She pop a molly, let the motherfuckin' games begin

I'm runnin'

Run away, run away, run away, run away

I'm holdin' on desperately

Run away, run away, run away, run away

I'm holdin' on

When it's all said and done, everybody dies

In this life ain't no happy endings

Only pure beginnings followed by years of sinnin' and fake repentance

The preachers say that we were made in image of love

To which I reply, are you sure?

Even a murderer?

Even a whore?

Even a **** runnin' through bitches on tour?

With a good girl at home foldin' clothes and shit

She losin' faith in him and he knows this shit

Like what the fuck is a break?

Don't know how much I can take no more

I give you all I've got till it ain't no more

No more tears, it's been ten long years

Damn near, I don't know if I can wait no more and

Who could blame her?

You complain, about every time you out, you come back, she pout

Sleepin' back to back, this is whack

We 'bout to go platinum and I'm in the crib

Actin' out my childhood fantasies of wife and home

But it's a whole lot of actresses I'd like to bone

And despite the rumors you hold out on account of the guilt

That she has got to spend her nights alone

And she ride or die

Like Eve and 'em

Make home-cooked meals every evening

And even in your lowest days when you're no longer Superman

At least you know you got Lois Lane but you

Run away, run away, run away, run away

I'm holdin' on desperately

Run away, run away, run away, run away

I'm holdin' on, yeah

Unbelievable

Seen evil that not even Knievel know

At age three I knew this world was three below

Listen, even know my ego low, achieved the unachievable

Imagine if my confidence was halfway decent, yo

This just in, fuck more bitches than Bieber though

Still I keep it low, got my **** on the need-to-know basis

My manager back in the days was racist

I was a young boy passin' skates and tuckin' laces

Old perverted white man who told me, "Jermaine

It's all pink on the inside, fuck what color they face is"

Wise words from an indecent man

Made me reflect on the times when we was three fifths of them

In chains and powerless

Brave souls reduced to cowardice

Slavin' in the bakin' sun for hours just to see the master creep into the shack where your lady at

Nine months later got a baby that's

Not quite what you expected

But you refuse to neglect it

'Cause you know your wifey love you

Thus you refuse to accept it

That's the type of shit that turned my granny light-skinned

Rich white men rule the nation still

Only difference is we all slaves now

The chains concealed in our thoughts

If I follow my heart to save myself

Could I run away from fifty mill

Like Dave Chappelle? You know

Run away, run away, run away, run away

I'm holdin' on desperately

Run away, run away, run away, run away

I'm holdin' on
