F*ck Luda!

This song makes me so angry. it's Luda's attempt at redemption. it's his way of saying he cares about the little girls he's telling to shake their money makers (literally played two songs before this one on V103). I've added my comments in red.

(feat. Mary J. Blige)
Ye..and it go a lil sometin like...
[Hook - Mary J. Blige]
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love

[Verse 1 - Ludacris]
Now little Lisa is only 9 years old
Shes tryin to figure out why the world is so cold
Why shes all all alone and they never met her family
Mamas always gone and she never met her daddy
Part of her is missin' and nobody will listen
Mama on drugs gettin high up in the kitchen
Bringin home men at different hours of the night
Startin with some laughs--usually endin in a fight
Sneak into her room while her mamas knocked out
Tryin to have his way and little Lisa says 'ouch' (WTF!)
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 is stuck up in the world on her own
Forced to think that hell is a place called home
Nothin else to do but some get some clothes and pack
She says shes bout to run away and never come back.

[Hook - Mary J. Blige] (so is this song telling these little girls that they should run away from home?)
Runaway love [x8]

[Verse 2 - Ludacris]
Little Nicole is only 10 years old
Shes steady tryin to figure why the world is so cold
Why shes 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 makin up excuses
Bleedin on the inside, cryin on the out
Its only one girl really knows what she about
Her name is lil Stacy and they become friends
Promise that they'll always be tight til the end
Until one day lil Stacy gets shot
A drive by bullet went stray up on her block
Now Nicole stuck up in the world on her own
Forced to think that hell is a place called home
Nothin else to do but some get her clothes and pack
She says shes bout to run away and never come back. (run away to where?! and do you think by just telling these stories you've done something? What are we supposed to do now that we know about Lisa and Nicole?)

[Hook - Mary J. Blige]
Runaway love [x8]

[Verse 3 - Ludacris]
Little Erica is eleven years old
Shes steady tryin to figure why the world is so cold
So she pops x to get rid of all the pain
Plus shes havin sex with a boy whos sixteen
Emotions run deep and she thinks shes in love
So theres no protection hes usin no glove
Never thinkin bout the consequences of her actions (right b/c the 11 yr. old girl is the one who should be thinking about consequences, not the 16 yr. old boy!)
Livin for today and not tomorrows satisfaction
The days go by and her belly gets big
The father bails out he aint ready for a kid
Knowin her mama will blow it all outta proportion
Plus she lives poor so no money for abortion
Erica is 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 say shes about to run away and never come back.

[Hook - Mary J. Blige]
Runaway love [repeats til end]

So of course when you go to a lyrics site they don't have everything and often mess up and omit things, so I wanted to provide the ad libs.

luda says I want you to close your eyes, and imagine that you are running away with me and when we come back, everything will be all right, open your eyes . . .
WTF!! these pre-teens are supposed to runaway with a grown ass man, and when they come back everything's all right? Ludacris that's ludicrous!

Mary sings Don't Runaway . . . I'll runaway with you if you want me too . . . (3x)
Which is it Mary?! Should I stay or are you coming with me?

This song is just social irresponsible. What real solutions are offered? What is a girl going through these things supposed to get from this song? They should runaway? to where? And if they did, Mary and Luda won't be there!!!

Comments:
damn and i had hope for this song
 
I am so glad that someone else feels the same way as I do about Luda and this crazy song. The song is just ridiculous. As a parent I know that you cant always have control over what your kids see & hear.So when something like this ridiculous song plays on the air( which unfortunately is all too common) I use it as an oppurtunity to tell my two girls just how STUPID it is and WHY.
 
lyk this song so shut ya mowfs. the song isnt giving advice its telling stories that really happen. Luda is supporting charitys for this and he has a foundation to help. He may ov had bad lyrics in the past but hes a rapper.He rap what he feels is right and rapping about money makers is what all men r finkin...I havent ran away but ma m8 has.
