Runaway Love or Runaway Rap?
Runaway Love or Runaway Rap?
Yesterday, I heard for the second time a rap by Ludacris, called "Runaway love." In it the rapper is alluding to some unfortunate incidents for girls. For instance...all of the girls are under the age 14, all have been abused by someone either sexually or physically...One a friend of the subject 14 year olds was even shot by gangs via a drive by. One of the under 14 year olds, got pregnant and so on and so on. Although I get the premise of the rap, there was no message for the many young females out there, accept to, runaway. Unlike the 2006 song, S-E-X by Lyfe Jennings where he illustrates a poignent message for young girls.
The rapper, at the end, asks for the young female listeners to close their eyes and imagine running away.......with him! Whoa! partner, how old are you? This is equivalent to R-Kelly and Michael Jackson telling our young people to close their eyes and imagine running away with them!
The song is stupid and Ludacris, needs to be added to Megan's List...and ran out of town
Lyrics errr!!! Words:
Runaway Love:
Each one of the three verses of "Runaway Love" is so ripped off of 'Brenda's Got A Baby' that its confusing somebody would actually do that. He's getting paid, and you know, I really hope that he's spending money to help in the situations presented because I'm sure not many other people are. Each one of the three verses of a fictional account telling the troubles in the lives of three runaway female adolescents; a nine-year-old named Lisa, a ten-year-old named Nicole, and an eleven-year-old named Erica.
[edit] Lisa's story
The first account involves Lisa, a nine-year-old girl. She has never met her real father. Lisa's mother is addicted to drugs and constantly argues with her current boyfriend. The argument usually ends with a fight and her mother passing out. After these arguments, Lisa's mother's boyfriend sneaks into her bedroom and rapes her. Lisa tells her mother about the sexual abuse, but she does not believe her. She decides to run away from home to save herself from her mother's boyfriend.
Now little Lisa's only 9 years old
She's tryna 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's on drugs gettin' high up in the kitchen
Bringin' home men at different hours of the night
Startin' with some laughs... usually ending in a fight
Sneakin' in her room when her mama's knocked out
Tryna 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's stuck up in the world on her own
Forced to think that Hell is a place called home
Nothin' else to do but get some clothes and pack
She says she's 'bout to run away and never come back - End
No mention of problem solving, but to encourage "running away." That's jumping from hot skillet to another, which reminds of this song from the late Rick James:
"Mary chose a pimp, he put her on the street, was not accident, she was found in a hotel suite, face down on the floor, laying in her underwear, no one even cried and no one even seemed to care that Mary chose a pimp" - Pimp a Simp, Rick James (Cold Blooded Album)
[edit] Nicole's story
The second account involves Nicole, a ten-year-old girl. Nicole believes she is not beautiful and thinks nobody likes her. Nicole's stepfather is an alcoholic and physically abuses her. Nicole's teachers constantly ask why she has bruises, and she lies to them. Nicole promises her best friend, Stacy, that they'll be close forever. However one day, Stacy dies in a drive-by shooting. Nicole packs her things and runs away from home.
Little Nicole is only 10 years old
She's steady tryna figure out 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's makin' up excuses
Bleeding on the inside, crying on the out
It's only one girl who really knows what she's about
Her name is little Stacey and they become friends
Promise that they'll always be tight till the end
Until one day little Stacey gets shot
A drive-by bullet went stray up on da block
Now Nicole's stuck up in the world on her own
Forced to think that Hell is a place called home
Nothin' else to do but get her clothes and pack
She says she's 'bout to run away and never come back
Again whats the situation here? the child is being abused and there's ample evidence proving it..The school, one line of defense neglects to act on the abuse of a 10 year old! We're talking about a ten year old child who is afraid of both her parent and any other adult.
[edit] Erica's story
The third and final account involves Erica, an eleven-year-old girl who is using ecstasy. Erica is also having unprotected sex with her sixteen year old boyfriend. As things go deeper, Erica thinks her boyfriend is in love with her. After Erica becomes pregnant, her boyfriend leaves her because he isn't ready for a child. Her family is poor and Erica has no money for an abortion. Erica knows that if she tells her mother she is pregnant, her mom will be angry and disappointed at her. Erica decides to run away instead of breaking the news to her mother.
Little Erica is 11 years old
She's steady tryna figure out 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 thinkin' bout the consequences of her actions
Livin' 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
Knowin' her mama would blow it all out of proportion
Plus she lives poor so no money for abortion
Erica's stuck up in the world on her own
Forced to think that Hell is a place called home
Nothin' else to do but get her clothes and pack
She says she's 'bout to run away and never come back

And at the end of all this, Ludacris, who is 29, tells all the girls who may be in this situation to close their eyes and imagine running away....with his old azz.....I guess he'll have them feeling like another girl....
