Akua Naru - Run Away Lyrics

[Intro]
Help me please, have mercy on a fool like me
Mm-hm

[Verse 1: Akua Naru]
Yo, single black woman, mother of three (Run away)
Tell me, I know it's hard, eyes red from fatigue
Heart scarred, mind bleeds in misery (Love I stay)
Soul abandoned, please be strong, uh
Ears mourn as the door slams, Daddy leaves, gone
The cold breeze weaves another sad love song (Run away)
Right eye bruised, the color of dawn, left eye scorned
Another mourning spirit confused, let go of her awning (Love I stay)
You held on, Mommy, thank you, thank you
You a black angel, the swollen ankles (Run away)
You [?] my clay through your gates to life, therefore I
Am you firstborn, first torn from your flesh, first to clutch your chest (Love I stay)
Overwhelmed by the force of my first breath, uh
And so I breathe, learn sight next, search to see my Earth (Run away)
Cry the tears of mother Isis, tongue bleeds from biting
Gargantuan heart broken behind ribs (Love I stay)
Trying to piece the puzzle of the crisis risin'

[Chorus: Akua Naru]
(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
[Verse 2: Akua Naru]
Risin' to work another day, under my next to nothing wage, uh (Run away)
Never enough, it seems, in and out of frantic rage, uh
This impetus for panic stayed (Love I stay)
Hidden under canted visages so children never knew a thing, uh
And time and time again, you remain (Run away)
My Meridian heart beats the rhythm, the struggle of many in adrenaline
And veins pump frail arms of feminine strength renderin' (Love I stay)
Strong in itself, envious, I wonder when you rest
Do you slumber deep within your skin? Yes (Run away)
Ligaments been diligent from Genesis, material proverbs (Love I stay)
31 scripture and deserve a neck of shimmering jewels
The sweetest cinnamon to breathe in again
And inhale your true image [?] (Run away)
The gender, race have rendered others the benefit behind your eyes
I play a place of truth, innocence (Love I stay)
Rememberence, letters share the same vision when
I look at you, you're beautiful

[Chorus: Akua Naru]
(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
[Verse 3: Akua Naru]
Ma, you're beautiful, look at you (Run away)
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 (Love I stay)
And through I've grown into a woman
To shed a few of your tears, cried your innocence, uh (Run away)
You've been my amethyst throughout the years, before birth
And ever since you ascended between Earth and Heaven and claimed your residence (Love I stay)
You rest against the frame of the sky, a sacrifice at the height
Survival and passion lie, and so on this track (Run away)
I wanna ask Ma, Ma, Ma
"Single black woman, mother of three, tell me (Love I stay)
I know it's hard these days, God bless, you never ever run away"

[Chorus: Akua Naru]
(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

[Outro]
Help me please
Have mercy on a fool like me
