Runaway Lyrics - No Love Lost - Joe Budden

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, gotta 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 

And it's funny what the effects of that little pill'll do 

Funny shit that keeps you alive can also kill you 

But it's my life, guess I'm stuck in it 

Sometimes I wanna 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 

They say don't get lost, follower 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, yeah 

Uh, it go 

How come they can roll? Y'all tell me how come they can smoke, they can 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 this odd? 

Me who can't even stand up straight, me who can't even keep a job 

Maybe I'm asking for too much, a tiny piece of normalcy 

Or an answer to any one of my fucking prayers that's asking what's wrong with me 

Maybe I'm tired of being unique, tired of being that outcast 

I'm tired of me being the only one, so tired of you all not knowing about that 

I'm tired of it all, want me to fall a spectacle, for the crowd to see 

Or being the only one with faith, I'm tired of everybody doubting me 

I'm tired of responding to grown ass folks that think so motha fuckin childishly 

Aches, wish I could take my parents' genes the fuck up out of me 

Tired of wanting to run somewhere, tired of having to bare it all 

Tired of you fucks constantly taking from me and I'm willing to share it all 

Tired of being objective, I'm tired of having to hear it all 

But being alone is the only way I know to never be near it all 

They say don't get lost, follower 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, yeah
