Run Away - Akua Naru
Composed by：Akua Naru/Simon Eichinger
Help me please have mercy on a fool like me
Mmm
Yo single black woman mother of three
Tell me I know it's hard eyes red from fatigue
Heart scarred mind bleeds in misery
Soul abandoned please be strong uh
Ears mourn as the door slams daddy leaves gone
The cold breeze weaves another sad love song
Right eye bruised the color of dawn left eye scorned
Another mourning spirit confused let go of her awning
You held on mommy thank you thank you
You a black angel the swollen ankles
You were my clay through your gates to life therefore I
Am you firstborn first torn from your flesh
First to clutch your chest
Overwhelmed by the force of my first breath uh
And so I breathe learn sight next search to see my earth
Cry the tears of mother isis tongue bleeds from biting
Gargantuan heart broken behind ribs
Trying to piece the puzzle of the crisis risin'
Run away
You watched my father just
Run away
I know it's hard but you never ever you never
Run away
And when it's time to pay the rent you never no
Run away
And all this for me I thank you I thank you
Risin' to work another day under my next to nothing wage uh
Never enough it seems in and out of frantic rage uh
This impetus for panic stayed
Hidden under canted visages so children never knew a thing uh
And time and time again you remain
My meridian heart beats the rhythm the struggle of many in adrenaline
And veins pump frail arms of feminine strength renderin'
Strong in itself envious I wonder when you rest
Do you slumber deep within your skin? Yes
Ligaments been diligent from genesis material proverbs
31 scripture and deserve a neck of shimmering jewels
The sweetest cinnamon to breathe in again
And inhale your true image that label
The gender race have rendered others the benefit behind your eyes
I play a place of truth innocence
Rememberence letters share the same vision when
I look at you you're beautiful
Run away
You watched my father just
Run away
I know it's hard but you never ever you never
Run away
And when it's time to pay the rent you never no
Run away
And all this for me I thank you I thank you
Ma you're beautiful look at you
In this cold cold world I know it's hard to catch a view uh true
When life left you bruised
You survived to test your fruit I treasure you
And through I've grown into a woman
To shed a few of your tears cried your innocence uh
You've been my amethyst throughout the years before birth
And ever since you ascended between
Earth and heaven and claimed your residence
You rest against the frame of the sky a sacrifice at the height
Survival and passion lie and so on this track
I wanna ask ma ma ma
Single black woman mother of three tell me
I know it's hard these days god bless you never ever run away
Run away
You watched my father just
Run away
I know it's hard but you never ever you never
Run away
And when it's time to pay the rent you never no
Run away
And all this for me I thank you I thank you
Help me please
Have mercy on a fool like me
