I think it's a great song, but I can't listen to it anymore. It makes me feel way too bad to listen. I haven't had that stuff happen to me, but for some reason I feel like I can put myself into those situations mentally...it's so unbearable that I just choose not to listen to the song anymore. I think he should have been less single-sex about it though; he should have included scenarios boys could identify with. Every person mentioned in the song is female, yet in real life many boys run away from home or deal with lots of problems and abuse at home. I definitely think he should have talked about sexual abuse that boys deal with because so many boys feel like they can't say anything because we choose to believe boys "can't be raped".

It makes me cry. I can't listen to much of it without wondering why the f*ck some (NOT ALL) men think they can do whatever they want to females. Also, what kind of environment are we creating where a young girl can't go talk to someone close about the BS she has to go through, and her mom's getting F'd up in the kitchen?! Trash.

I love this song, it shows another side of Luda. It's so sweet and emotional. The song made me think, and then I saw the video and it almost made me cry. And girls that young shouldnt have to go through all of that; but its sad how each generation has to go through more the younger they are.

Wow I have never heard this song, I listen to country and rock, it is sad, but unfortunatly this happens in real life. It is so sad what girls today have gone through, someone needs to teach them right from wrong. I would say their MOM and DAD should be the ones to teach them, if only every family was loving and caring towards each other. I mean if you can't afford a baby, give him/her to someone who can't have children and would love and care for the baby as their own.
"Runaway Love"
(feat. Mary J. Blige)
[Hook - Mary J. Blige]
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
[Verse 1 - Ludacris]
Now little Lisa is only 9 years old
She's trying to figure out why the world is so cold
Why she's all alone and ain't never met her family
Mama's always gone and she never met her daddy
Part of her is missing and nobody will listen
Mama is on drugs getting high up in the kitchen
Bringing home men at different hours of the night
Starting with some laughs -- usually ending in a fight
Sneaking in her room while her mama'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 mom but her mama don't believe her
Lisa is 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.
[Hook - Mary J. Blige]
Runaway love [x8]
[Verse 2 - Ludacris]
Little Nicole is only 10 years old
She's steady trying to figure why the 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 making up excuses
Bleeding on the inside, crying on the out
It's only one girl really knows what she about
Her name is lil Stacy and they become friends
Promise that they always be tight 'til the end
Until one day lil Stacy gets shot
A drive by bullet went stray up on her block
Now Nicole 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 says she's 'bout to run away and never come back.
[Hook - Mary J. Blige]
Runaway love [x8]
[Verse 3 - Ludacris]
Little Erica is eleven years old
She's steady trying to figure why the 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 there's no protection he's using no glove
Never thinking 'bout the consequences of her actions
Living for today and not tomorrow's satisfaction
The days go by and her belly gets big
The father bails out he ain't ready for a kid
Knowing her mama will blow it all outta proportion
Plus she lives poor so no money for abortion
Erica is 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 about to run away and never come back.
[Hook - Mary J. Blige]
Runaway love
Don't keep on runnin'
Runnin' [4x]
Don't keep on running [x]
I know how you feel, I've been there
I was runnin' away too
I will run away with you [2x]
Runaway Runaway Love
Don't keep running away
I'll run away with you, if you want me too
[Outro - Ludacris:]
Yea, I can only image what you're going through ladies,
Sometimes I feel like running away myself,
So do me a favor right now and close your eyes,
And picture us running away together,
when we come back everything is gonna be okay,
Open your eyessss.......

I love it! It always makes me sad, but is also makes me think about the terrible things that happen to people in their lives. It's deep.
