Runaway (The Wild) Lyrics by Nephew P

Hate It or Love It

2017

[Intro]
Delilah get me 814
[Verse 1]
Runaway from it all, guns clap like applause
They do it for the squad, they do it 'cause it's raw
Got homies locked inside, they making phone calls
Telling his homies when they free him they gon' have a ball
But in the meantime they making bodies fall
Catching bodies like Odell, no football
Catching bullets like interceptions, this shit is reckless
Kids turned into target practice instead of doctors
Someone call a doctor, I need prescription
These niggas killing and stealing, they rob niggas and dealing
His mama worried, his baby mama be tripping
His baby girl, she miss him, need something new for the season
New shoes, a better education and the question is
Will clocking on the corner bring him all the riches?
Jobs don't call him, they see a street nigga
Which leaves him the only options, the streets and drug dealing
[Hook]
Welcome to the wild, niggas checking bags
And they getting lots of cash, put a price on ya head
Welcome to the wild, all about the bands
And they repping for the mans, die young, live fast
And they down for they niggas, act a clown for they niggas
Shoot around for they niggas, ride around wit' they niggas
Move a pound for they niggas, do a dime for they niggas
Get down for they niggas 'cause they down for the niggas
[Verse 2]
Runaway from it all, guns clap like applause
They say protect and serve, yeah they serving us all
And they killing my dogs, man they killing us all
Read us Miranda Rights, we don't have 'em at all
Shoot us wit' hands up, pulling out handcuffs
Saying the same stuff, "he just another thug"
Why we gotta be thugs? They just mad 'cause we kings
They want us back in shackles, they want us back in chains
They want us back in fields hanging down from a tree
They wish we didn't write, they wish we never read
We taught them everything and this is what we get
All the things we invented, they take the credit for it
Coming for what I'm owed, redemption is all I know
Black mad boy, I fit the status quo
And I am damn proud of who I am
And my biggest fear is coming back to this mufucka again
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Welcome to the wild, home of the gun powder
Where niggas don't live to see to get they own diploma
And they about the green like a mufuckin banker
Break bread like a baker, bump that nigga Sosa
And they rob niggas but they do it for the better
'cause they don't wanna live life on a bum level
Welcome to the wild, home of everyday struggle
That's why niggas out here going full throttle
And it hurt they mama to see them always in trouble
But mama mama them dollars dollars are worth the trouble
And mama understand my plan wasn't to hurt you
Come on mama who wanna live the struggle forever?
I'm going out there and imma make something
And imma bring it all back just for you mama
Just for you mama, just for you mama
If I don't make it back just know I done it for you
[Sample]
All we wanna do is take the chains off
All we wanna do is break the chains off
All we wanna do is be free
All we wanna do is be free
All we wanna do is take the chains off
All we wanna do is break the chains off
All we wanna do is be free
All we wanna do is be free
