Runaway Slave

Showbiz & A.G.

Runaway... runaway slave (8X)




Verse One: A.G.




Livin in the slums with the bums the rats and the stray cats



Dogs with the rabies little babies are having babies



Juveniles act wild



Every footstep you take on every corner there's a crack vial



Pushers dealers crackheads are buying



Now the dealer's in jail all the crackheads are dying



My man got AIDS he was hit hard



To get laid he paid a crackhead for a five dollar quick job



In the ghettoes this stuff you have to find



A beer will relax my mind but I still pack my nine



Cause I'm aware of all evil and devilishment



Because I'm living in a rat like settlement



Sometimes it's hard to manage



I grab a forty take a sip and let the mental do the damage



Yeah I'm woozy and my eyes are red



But it's better than a uzi and a brotherman is dead



See nine out of ten are black on black crimes



Four out of nine were killed before their prime



The other five wanted vengeance



So now five out of five are doin a jail sentence



Ask the Giant I've been through it



So when I reach to the top, I say the ghetto made me do it



And I know how to strive, huh



Born and raised in the ghetto so you know I can survive




Chorus:Runaway... runaway slave (8X in background)




I gotta getaway, I gotta do it now



or find a better way, so how that sound (both lines repeat 4X)




Verse Two: A.G.




Chapter two, of every black man's diary



Drugs and diseases, put in our society



Kill another brother and it's bravery



Come on that's one step backwards into mental slavery



Yeah you best believe that's reality



You got black on black then there's police brutality



Yeah it's
