to my people doin time...to my people rest in peace

Are you all ready for the refugee camp? c'mon

Introducin Earth Wind and Fire.



yea yea yea

c'mon c'mon c'mon

no money in my pocket

gotta get a new limit

so i became Americas most wanted

all i really wanted was a fancy car

a crib for my mom and a mastercard

livin all good in Hollywood

wakin up to flims of clint eastwood

went from a teen to a young gun

no excusses it aint my fault



(refrain)

Runaway

we livin like runaways

WAKE UP!

stretch yup money on it

tryin to make it through the day

brush my teeth hit the streets

where we be we can afford no beef

hopin one day we dont have to runaway

i dont wanna runaway

but i had to get away

we didnt wanna runaway

but we had to get away

we didnt wanna lead astray

but sometimes i got to get away

i didnt wanna got way

but i had to get away



Momma came home from mondays work

a day time maid

a night time a nurse

workin so hard tryin to survive

livin a ghetto paradise

but sometimes id wake up

in the middle of the night

hopin that they darkness brings me light

prayin for that better day

when we wont have to runaway



(refrain)

ladies and gentleman

earth wind and fire
