[Verse 1: Kid Pharaoh]
Just a simple school night sitting watching television
It ain't often I watch the news but I thought whatever switch it
So I switch it and I see so many terrifying images
Keep flicking it, it keeps coming, then I hear this deep story
Parents were getting interviewed up in this dark room
They seemed pretty normal man but the story would start soon
And the clip rolls, turns out it's bout their daughter
Starts off, she was just at her bus stop
Just chilling with her iPod, minding her own business
Then this dude pulls up in his little Nissan and
Says "get in the car we can have a little fun"
But the girl ain't want none of it just waiting for her bus but yet
The dude gets out and he grabs her by the arm
Throws her in the car, starts the ignition then drives off
Now she screaming for help, right at the top of her lungs
But nobody hear her pleading
Now she screaming "why me God?
"What you choose me for? I ain't do nothing, please get me up out this car
Please hear me plead Lord, please I wanna live
I'm too young to die, said please I wanna live get me away from this guy"
But now he drives her bout 100 miles away
Doors locked so she can't make her way out to escape
He stops the car, gets her out, drops her off the side of the road
Now she scared for her life, her body shaking like crazy
Tears running down her cheeks, she so scared for her safety
Then the dude approaches her, he got evil in his eyes
Gets her up against the car, "please don't do this" she cries
Then the dude strips her naked, then he drops his draws
Abuses her then rapes her, she cries "please no more"
She worried, she think her death is coming soon ahead
Dude throws her on the ground, the road collides with her head
Gets in his car, drives off and just leaves her for dead
Her skull smashed, heart stops, rest in peace my friend
Another innocent life taken by this world we in
Man this can't be life
Is this the world we live in?
How do people put up with our society's condition?
Damn, I know the rain will fade away and the sun will shine one day
But for now
There's gotta be a better place
There's gotta be a better way
To live this life
To live it right
I'm sick of this shit
Man I just wanna Runaway
[Bridge: Kanye West]
Run away from me, baby, run away
Run away from me, baby, run away
It's about to get crazy, why can't she just, run away?
Baby, I got a plan, run away fast as you can

[Verse 2: Kid Pharaoh]
I walk around the school ground
See kids with iPhone's
Laptops, Blackberry's
But I don't care what I own
Cause I know that somewhere far away
Thousands of kids are gon' die, they gon' starve today
And the ones still living probably have no education
No food, no water and probably no house to stay in
Probably working jobs just to provide for they family
But not even that can stop them from facing the famine see
We living in this world where they say we all equal
We gon' all live well because we all God's people
Lord if you can hear me, please give these kids courage
All they wanna do is live without being malnourished
Why'd you put them through that and made us so lucky?
Take everything I own, as long as they ain't hungry
Lord, they need you, please do something for them
Help them until living good isn't so foreign
And you know what, this society I'm in, I've had enough
The rich get richer and the poor keep living rough
And these kids on the school ground are filled with greed
Still asking for more when they got all they need
These kids so disrespectful, got no fucking discipline
They parents tell 'em something, but they ain't listening
Got money, food, water, everything to survive
But that's not enough, she need that new iPhone 5
Cause she only got a 4S
She's so depressed
Cause all her friends have the latest
She's out of date yes
This is the world we in
Our belongings are who we are?
While we got kids in Africa about to starve
Man you got to be kidding, please don't tell me it's true
If we gonna change the world first you got to change you
You got to start with that man that you see up in the mirror
And learn to love him 'til the love can't get no bigger
Look, these kids out here need to make a change
To the way that they living, and we need to start giving
To those less fortunate, cause we so greedy
In this world that we in, we need to give to the needy
And we got to prepare for the future that's upcoming
We the next generation and we need to stop running
From the truth and we gotta start working and preparing
For our lives and all you kids man you need to stop wasting your life
On alcohol and weed and living in strife
It's time to get up of yo' ass and time to make things right and
Prepare, reality gon' hit you harder than Tyson
I'm done trying to convince all you suckers what to do
Don't come crying to me after you finish school
Damn, I know the rain will fade away and the sun will shine one day
But for now
There's gotta be a better place
There's gotta be a better way
To live this life
To live it right
I just wanna Runaway
[Bridge: Kanye West]
Run away from me, baby, run away
Run away from me, baby, run away
It's about to get crazy, why can't she just, run away?
Baby, I got a plan, run away fast as you can
