Artist: Joe Budden Album: No Love Lost Song: Runaway Typed by: Nickolye16@aol.com [Joe Budden] Uh, I said all that I'll say, so I stand with no apologies I've popped all that I popped, wasn't too recently that it got to me Those of y'all that love Joe, got to admit the shit was a lot to see Today I take all of the credit like I did away with modesty I lost weight, lost faith, I got caught up in that vacuum My stomach turned and my eyes burned and I became best friends with the bathroom Today it takes all the strength I have inside for me to avoid the rush Face pokered over the toilet, all you hear is a royal flush Was under control, though they warned me about addiction Mind manifested again in the form of a prescription (talk to 'em) And it's funny what the affects of that little pill'll do Funny shit that keeps you alive could also kill you But it's my life, guess I'm stuck in it Sometimes I wan' just be normal like them other kids The demon I battle with every night is simply drugs and shit But I'll runaway from it all if God deems that I've had enough of it [Chorus] They said don't get lost, follow the leader And don't do that, be a believer When the sun goes down, you better hide It's a dangerous world, better stay inside And, run along, run along It's a long long way home from here Run along, run along It's a long long way home from here [Joe Budden] Uhh, it go, look How come they could roll? Y'all tell me how come they could smoke, they could drink? They get to do whatever they want and it don't interrupt the way they think They all get to be regular, why is it only me that's odd? Me who can't even stand up straight, me who can't even keep a job Maybe I'm askin for too much, a tiny piece of normalcy Or an answer to any one of my FUCKIN prayers that's askin what's wrong with me Maybe I'm tired of bein unique, tired of bein that outcast I'm tired of me bein the only one, so tired of y'all not knowin about that I'm tired of it all, want me to fall a spectacle, for the crowd to see Or bein the only one with faith, I'm tired of e'rybody doubtin me I'm tired of respondin to grown-ass folks that think so muh'fuckin childishly Aches, wish I could take my parents' genes the FUCK up out of me Tired of wantin to run somewhere, tired of havin to bear it all Tired of you FUCKS constantly takin from me and I'm willin to share it all Tired of bein objective (uh) I'm tired of havin to hear it all But bein alone's the only way I know to never be near it all [Chorus]
