Run Baby Run by Bez

(Hook) My parents couldent love me, unwanted son,
Joined the Mau Mau's and then the story begun,
Learned how to slash a knife, point and shoot a gun,
Gods screamin at me Run Baby Run,

Father beated on me, in a broken home,
Had no where to turn, Troubled youth all alone,
Nothing went right for me in Porto Rico,
Dead wrong and broke so where can I go,
Father was a bully, hit me and my brothers,
His knuckles bled so much cos there was so many of us,
Mother a spiritulist, some kind of voodoo,
Takes it out on me when she cant break through,
Its the world against me, shits so unfair,
I've tried education, but it gets me no where,
Gettin into trouble, scared to go home,
Brains all in a muddle, tired to the bone,
In need of new life, a new adventure to try,
Cos I'm sick of these tears I continue to cry,
I live a struggle, a constant danger,
I look in the mirrow and see a stranger,
Wanna be bright, smart, intelligent, whitty,
But I live in a world full of nothin but self pity,
I'm going to my uncles in New York City,
See if I can change what lyes in store for me,
Run baby,

(Hookx2) My parents couldent love me, unwanted son,
Joined the Mau Mau's and then the story begun,
Learned how to slash a knife, point and shoot a gun,
Gods screamin at me Run Baby Run,

Arrive in the apple, but to me its rotten,
Maybe this is the last nail in my coffin,
Got less than 20 bucks left in my pocket,
1 lace undone, the other is knotted,
This place so different, boys look like men,
Look like an army cos the gangs they hangin in,
The heat and light make it like paradise,
But you cant survive, by being nice,
I've heard you gotta fight, earn the right to live,
Cos the gangs come out at night, the police cant do shit,
They out number the police by 50 to 1,
So as soon as the sun sets, the pigs are always gone,
Couldent make it on my own, I needed a crew,
Soilders that could help me to get through,
Didn't know what to do, do I search for a gang,
Thats where my pal Bennie, lent a hand,
Introduced me and shit, became a member,
I try to picture his face but I cant remember,
Cos he was taken from us, revenge we swore,
I was determined to kill the hor, make his blood pour,
Cos they slashed him up, shits just not right,
I'd turned from an angel to a demon of the night,
The streets had my heart, it wouldent let go,
Didnt know the difference between right and wrong, yes or no,
My life was decaying, being eaten by the jungle,
My memories are coming back, dam my first ever rumble,
Run baby, run,

(Hookx2) My parents couldent love me, unwanted son,
Joined the Mau Mau's and then the story begun,
Learned how to slash a knife, point and shoot a gun,
Gods screamin at me Run Baby Run,

The night was stormy, rain filled the sky,
Yet it was my tears that filled the streets, I never wondered why,
Cos inside I knew that it was a sign,
But I was a fool back then, I turned a blind eye,
The rumble was set, everyone ready to fight,
I was so scared, I couldent think right,
So I ran and climbed, took a spot above a shop,
Thats where I took my first ever shot,
Seeing the bullet tear the flesh of the Bishop scum,
Made me feel weak, dam I used a gun,
Don't know if he died, so its always on my mind,
Thats always a tale, I could never shove aside,
I ask God as my whitness to give me love and forgivness,
The best present in life, is only what he gives us,
So I thank you Lord, for savin your son,
But the streets still scream,
Run baby run,

(Hook) My parents couldent love me, unwanted son,
Joined the Mau Mau's and then the story begun,
Learned how to slash a knife, point and shoot a gun,
Gods screamin at me Run Baby Run,

Run baby, Run baby, Run baby, RUN!

True, I think recordin your songs with actual beats would make them even more interesting, when people read shit by you like 2x a week they might get tired of it, if you recorded it it'd be different though
