Akua Naru - Run Away lyrics

Help me please, have mercy on a fool like me
Mm hm

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 and see my Earth (Run away)
Cry the tears of mother Isis
Tongue bleeds from biting
Gargantuan heart broken behind when it's
(Love I stay) 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
(Run away) never enough, it seems, in and
Out of frantic rage, uh
This impetus for panic stayed (Love I stay)
Hidden under visages so children
Never knew a thing, uh
And time and time again, you remain
(Run away) mama
Heartbeats the rhythm
The struggle of many in adrenaline
And veins pump frail arms
Of feminine strength renderin' (Love I stay)
Strong in it'self, 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
The benefit behind your eyes
A place of truth, innocence (Love I stay)
Remember it's 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 (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, in 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"

(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
