[Verse 1] It's a story, I came to say To tell you just about those runaways Oh you run away, and you leave home Just thinkin' you're grown, want to be on your own But yo, I came to stop you, right in your tracks I am your conscience, for you to turn back I came to tell you, what it's about How you should stay in and you shouldn't go out Now I wanna tell you yes, how the story goes Just in case you didn't get the knowledge and you don't know I want to tell you just how it is Out there in the streets and all the other biz This is what happens, straight to you And don't stop me until I'm through First you run away to a city yes Sayin' I'm gonna live and be super fresh But it don't work that way, don't you see? So come on listen, straight to me 'Cause I am your conscience and your guide Sayin' don't run away straight from the inside You're a runaway
[Scratch Break]
[Verse 2] Now I am the spirit, inside your body The one who makes you want to dance at a party I'm the one who lets you have fun Who always tells you to go home, at quarter to one And when your mother told you, to be home, yes I'm tellin' you my decision is best If you don't want to listen to me Let me tell you how it is, out there on the street First you meet the pimps, the pushers yes They always sweep you up and tell you "You are fresh" They buy you all clothes, give you coke in your nose But where do you go? No one knows See I can foretell the future, just in case you don't know And this is the way, the story will go First you live over here, then you live over there Then you live in the streets, won't be livin' anywhere You'll have no kind of income, comin' to you And now you know your life is through You should've listened to me, straight from the start Because I'm givin' you advice, right from the heart You're a runaway
[Scratch Break]
[Verse 3] I will tell you, the straight up truth And now we're sittin' out here, with no juice We're just sittin' on a corner, just like this And it is home that we don't miss I tried to turn you around, once before Before you walked straight, out the door Before you threw down the key, you should've listened to me 'Cause now we're out here, just livin' in the street You're a runaway
[Scratch Break]
Why did we run away?
[Verse 4] We ran away, we did it this time That's the whole purpose of me sayin' these lines I had to let you know, just how it would go You don't listen to me, don't you think I know? I kept telling you, just how it would be I am your conscience, just listen to me I am a friend, I am true And since it's happening to me you know it's happening to you Runaway
[Scratch Break]
Why does she run away?
[Verse 5] Listen to me, this is no lie You coulda stayed in school, could've went with that guy Remember the guy, he was sitting down? The one that wanted to take you out on the town Why are you ruining your life? You could be his wife You're stabbing me yes, like you're using a knife You're not really doing, you're hurting yourself But listen to me, 'cause I'm good for your health Runaway
