Nowhere to Run is a 1993 American action drama film directed by Robert Harmon, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, Rosanna Arquette, Kieran Culkin, Ted Levine and Joss Ackland.
Sam Gillen (Jean-Claude Van Damme) is a convict who gets sprung from Federal custody somewhere in the Midwest by his bank-robbing partner. In their last heist, Sam's partner killed a bank guard, and Sam took the rap for it. Sam's partner gets killed in the break, forcing Sam to go it alone. He stays on a farm owned by Clydie Anderson (Rosanna Arquette), the widowed mother of two kids, Mike "Mookie" (Kieran Culkin) and Bree (Tiffany Taubman).
Attempting to sneak into Clydie's house and "borrow" some salt, Sam catches sight of Clydie taking a shower. The next morning, Sam is spotted bathing outdoors by Mookie. After saving Clydie, Mookie, and Bree from a trio of intruding thugs, Sam discovers that Clydie is holding out from selling her place to property developer Franklin Hale (Joss Ackland), who will be put out of business if he doesn't get Clydie's land so he can develop on it.
I'll never let you walk
Away without a word to say
Tell me your heart, pull it all out
I'll try to understand
Cause this is not what you really need
And this is not what you really want
This is not the way it's supposed to go
Tell me Baby no one will really know
There's nowhere to run, there's nowhere to hide
You got to trust in me
There's nowhere to run, there's nowhere to hide
You got to trust in me
Don't feel ashamed to call my name
Whenever you need a friend
I will be there to pick you up
When you're tumbling down
Cause this is not what you really need
And this is not what you really want
This is not the way it's supposed to go
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
No way to relieve this feeling inside
You done gave me them blues and then you took a ride
Left me with nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Shame, oh shame, on what you do
Can't you see that I, I, I, been feeling so blue
Cast a spell on me, then you took a ride
Left me with nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Pardon me, if I sound so sad
I can't get to you when I want you so bad
You done gave me them blues, then you took a ride
Left me with nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
It's not love, I'm running from
But the heartache I know will come
'Cause I know you're no good for me
But you become a part of me
Everywhere I go your face I see
Every step I take you take with me, no
Nowhere to run, baby
Nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run to, baby
Nowhere to hide
I know you're no good for me
But free of you I'll never be, no
Each night as I sleep
Into my heart you creep
I wake up feeling sorry I met you
Hopin' soon that I'll forget you
When I look in the mirror to comb my hair
I see your face and smiling there, no
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
I got nowhere to run to, baby
Nowhere to hide
I know you're no good for me
But you've become a part of me, no
How can I find a lover?
That should love be
When it's so deep, so deep
Deep inside of me
My love reaches so high I can't get over it
It's so wide I can't get around it, no
Nowhere to run to, baby
Nowhere to hide
I just can't get away from you, baby
No matter how I try
I know you're no good for me
But free of you I'll never be
Each night as I see your face
I know you're a part of me
But so deep, so deep and
No, no
I just can't get away from you, baby
No matter how hard I try
Nowhere to run to, babe
Nowhere to hide
He's just like a vulture
Like the wake awaiting its prey
Devoid of all feelings
Shrouded in black he remains
The insatiable hunger
For blood will never be quenched
Victims lie headless
Women and children are slain
The faster you run
The slower it seems to feel
He's catching up to you
He's there behind your back
Appearing so stable
But something in his mind just snapped
He turns into your nightmare
There's no chance of you fighting back
Personifying evil
The killer is loose on the streets
But you'd never know it
He could be you or me
There's nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
He'll take your life
Make, make no mistake
He on your track
Ready to strike
Look out!
Don't know what's been goin' on in your head, no
When you knew that his love was through
You closed your eyes instead
I was there with a shoulder to lean on
It's not gonna happen twice
If you go I just want you to know, it's alright
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Did you think it would open up in the night, yeah?
Just pretend I'm only a friend and disappear from sight
One day you're gonna be lonely, wishin' I was by your side
And one day you'll think of me only
But girl, you gotta take the ride
Well too bad, now that the damage is done
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Little girl, gonna make your bed in the night, yeah
Now you say, "You're goin' away"
But I will keep your heart
And you will cry when you realize you were wrong
Run on, run on
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run, no
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
(C. Linden)
Well, I wish I could tell somebody
'Bout the way I feel today
Wish I could pack my leavin' trunk
And make my getaway
There's nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
Well I ain't goin' home no more
My feet, they feel so slow
Well I go to a downtown party
I feel like leavin' soon
There ain't nobody seem to know my name
But a great big hollow moon
There's nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
Well I ain't goin' home no more
My feet, they feel so slow
Well I was lookin' for some friend now
Since the day that I arrived
I wish somebody would call my name
And make me know that I'm alive
There's nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
Well I ain't goin' home no more
My feet, they feel so slow
They feel so slow
Well, I wish I could tell somebody
'Bout the way I feel today
I wish I could pack my leavin' trunk
And make my get away
There's nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
Well I ain't goin' home no more
It's that shit, you know what I'm sayin'?
I'm a give a shout out to my niggas
I ain't givin' a shout out to no Park, nobody, fuck that
Big Baby Jesus in the mother fucking house
Know what I'm sayin'?
Unh, come on
I don't walk, I stalk, livin' foul like pork
Shuttin' down underground streets of New York
Hawk is what them niggas call me, 'cause they all be
Suckin' my dick and on my mother fucking balls, G
I know the half, so I laugh wit' 'em
Blood bath went I let the fuckin' rap hit 'em
Full clip, but only half did 'em
That's all it took, another crook
Taken out over a dirty look
I bag game with niggas I leave shot dead
You're only taken a piss from me with hot led
You know my style nigga, 'cause I'm always schemin'
In jail, niggas holdin' a sink screamin'
Police, but you got no peace
Yo, was that you big man, and alot mo' grease
All I gets is pounds, you ain't want none of this
Back streets are like track meets 'cause I be runnin' this
Ain't nowhere to run ('cause I be runnin' this)
Ain't nowhere to hide (come on)
Ain't nowhere to go ('cause I be runnin' this)
Reaper saved your soul (come on)
Surroned by the colors, I see crimson, black and blue (come on)
Locking open doors again, I'm still afraid of you (straight up, mother fucker)
Light to dark, then light again, I always thought I knew (come on)
Young to old and young again, what's left for me to do? (straight up)
Center of the universe, collecting me in time (come on)
I'm falling down upon the earth, and singing truth in rhyme (come on)
If I was a rolling stone, I'd roll until I'm through (come on)
And if I was a garden I would bloom in black for you (Dirt Dog in effect)
[ODB]
ahhhh, yi yi yi yi (come on)
[ODB]

What you mother fuckers invented
Is the craziest nigga that ever been invented
ha ha ha ha ha
Most know, don't front on Ol' Dity Bastard

I call on Jesus
There's no obstacles that you have to jump
There's no walls that you have to climb
This is real, this is elementary dear
Elementary, Watson, Elementary

I ain't no pictue on your fore wall, necklace wearin' beard
You don't want this money till it's rich
Buy my album, coded by Dirty, set you free
Go against the grain, I got the p
I know you don't recognize me now
I dunked your tongue
How many lightening bulbs do it take to light up a fuck mode?
Brothers, people, you'd better get the fuck off of me
We don't need it, it gets more ugly
Fools tryin' to bust their ass
Tryin' to get away from me when I said my real name
I call myself in the niggas butthole
All the same, all the same, all the same
Ain't nowhere to run
Ain't nowhere to hide
Ain't nowhere to go
Reaper saved your soul
ahhh yi yi yi yi
What, mother fucker?
Don't try to psychology my shit, mother fucker
'cause you'll never psychology it, mother fucker
Nowhere to run to, baby
Nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run to, baby
Nowhere to hide
It's not love
I'm running from
It's the heartaches
That I know will come
'Cause I know
You're no good for me
But you`ve become
A part of me
Everywhere I go
Your face I see
Every step I take
You take with me, yeah
Nowhere to run to, baby
Nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run to, baby
Nowhere to hide
I know you're
No good for me
But free of you
I'll never be, no
Each night as I sleep
Into my heart you creep
I wake up feeling sorry I met you
Hoping soon that I'll forget you
When I look in the mirror
And comb my hair
I see your face
Just a-smiling there
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run to, baby
Nowhere to hide
I know you're
No good for me
But you've become
A part of me
How can I fight a lover
That's sugar sweet
When it's so deep, so deep
Deep inside of me
My love reaches so high
I can't get over it
It's so wide
I can't get around it, no
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
From you, baby
Just can't get away
No matter how I try
I know you're no good for me
But free of you I'll never be
Nowhere to run to, baby
Nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run to, baby
Nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run
Night ain't a friend
It's black and so still
It waits like a cat
Then moves in for the kill
It casts it's shadows high on the wall
It's givin' me no peace at all
Now you're gone
The pain goes on
You're so deep into me
Now I'm begging you to
Set me free
Chorus:
I've got nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
No way to stop
This hurt deep inside
That you gave to me
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to run
The sound of your voice
It comes in the night
It stays with me there
Until the light
When you say the words
That you said before
When you said you'd stay
You walked out the door
I can take the afternoon
But then comes the night
Instead I walk the floor
Till the light
Make no sail for a gift of the wind
Drive is slow and for this dream never ends
All my family and all my friends know there's nowhere to run
In the morning they head for the sun
Leave your shadows behind whatcha done
I have tried but I never have won
Because there's no where to run
Michael's rowing?
Where she's going?
What's she saying?
But that's right, yeah that's right
Don't starve old sailor long since been dead
Smoking his pipe and he's scratching his head
It's bad news but I heard what is said
He said there's no where to run
Michael's rowing?
Where she's going?
What's she saying?
But that's right, that's right
Make no sail for a gift of the wind
Drive is slow and for this dream never ends
I can still remember
each mile I have travelled
never knowing which way
the road might turn
now I face the stillness
the city of ruins
everyone in line waiting too
blackened are the hearts
of those who have witnessed
far into the blue
out of view
colours of the dawn
shrouded completely
everyday is slow
sinking low
nowhere to run
nowhere to hide
and I stood inside
the silent circle
with a bitter taste
of changing times
and as the voices run
run into each other
did you feel the way
God kissed our eyes
nowhere to run
nowhere to hide
there is always time
for us to begin again
I don't want to sleep
and see a face I once knew
but I have a father
who is still living
and I have a mother who's with me too
nowhere to run
nowhere to hide
You say your eyes have lost the price A love that can't be won Now your stare that doesn't care Nowhere to run
When you're bright the future's light In the dark it weighs a ton Where I can't breathe and I can't leave Nowhere to run
You let all your dreams dissolve Softly the night takes the sun The twilight's call fills us all Nowhere to run
(chorus)
Nowhere to run, baby
nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run to, baby
nowhere to hide
It's not love I'm running from
It's the heartbreak I know will come
Cause I know you're no good for me
but you've become a part of me
Everywhere I go
your face I see
Every step I take
you take with me
(chorus)
I know you're
no good for me
But free of you
I'll never be
Each night as I sleep
Into my heart you creep
I wake up feeling sorry I met you
Hoping soon that I'll forget you
When I look in the
mirror to comb my hair
I see your face
just a-smilin' there
(chorus)
I know you're
no good for me
But you've become
a part of me
How can I fight a
love that shouldn't be
When it's so deep, so deep
deep inside of me
My love reaches so high
I can't get over it
It's so wide I
can't get around it
(chorus)
I know you're
no good for me
But free of you
I'll never be
Nowhere to run to, baby
nowhere to hide
Just can't get away from you baby
no matter how I try
Written by Kevin Heybourne and Sue Heath
You can't always see the inside of me
You can't see what I must hide
When you look I turn my head and run
I'm in fear for my life
I can see you everywhere I go
Why can't you just go away?
When it's midnight and I lie there awake
In the darkness of my room
I feel your glaring eyes staring at me
I just want to be left alone
If I close my eyes
Will you soon be gone
I feel I'm going insane
Nowhere to run
Now there's no escaping
Nowhere to run
I am a prisoner
Nowhere to run
It's like insanity
Nowhere to run
I can see you in the shadowed night
Nowhere to run
I can see you everywhere I go
Why can't you just go away?
Nowhere to run
Now there's no escaping
Nowhere to run
I am a prisoner
Nowhere to run
It's like insanity
Nowhere to run
I can see you in the shadowed night
Nowhere to run
As the sun begins to rise in the sky
And the night is nearly through
Now my nightmare turns into reality
I turn around and it's you
My head it aches, what the hell is going on
I feel I'm going insane
Nowhere to run
Now there's no escaping
Nowhere to run
I am a prisoner
Nowhere to run
It's like insanity
Nowhere to run
I can see you in the shadowed night
Nowhere to run
No place left to hide
Nowhere to run
No place left to hide
I just can't believe it
What a waste
What the hell has gone on here
This devastated place
Thought this was buried with Dachau
But there's new blood on the tracks
Outside the city
They're shooting people out of fear
Nowhere to run
No place left to hide
Nowhere to run
No place left to hide
Broken lambs to the slaughter
Soiled red like the sea
In the land of the holy
The Devil runs free
No dignity in death now
As they litter the streets
What's for the living
They'll build you up to knock you down again
Shadows cast upon this land
A black cloth drapes a promised land
Shadows cast upon this land
Don't know what's been going on in your head, no
When you knew that his heart was through
You closed your eyes instead
I was there with a shoulder to lean on
It's not gonna happen twice
If you go I just want you to know
It's alright
Nowhere to run [(nowhere to run)]
Nowhere to hide [(nowhere to hide)]
Nowhere to run [(nowhere to run)]
Nowhere to hide [(nowhere to hide)]
Did you think it would open up in the night, yeah
Just pretend I'm only a friend
And disappear from sight
One day you're gonna be lonely
Wishing I was by your side
And one day you'll think of me only
But girl, you gotta take the ride
Well too bad
Now that the damage is done
Nowhere to run [(nowhere to run)]
Nowhere to hide [(nowhere to hide)]
Nowhere to run [(nowhere to run)]
Nowhere to hide [(nowhere to hide)]
Nowhere to run [(nowhere to run)]
Nowhere to hide [(nowhere to hide)]
Nowhere to run [(nowhere to run)]
Nowhere to hide [(nowhere to hide)]
Little girl, gonna make your bed in the night, yeah
Now you say you're going away
But I will keep your heart
And you will cry when you realize you were wrong
Run on
Run on
[(Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide)(Nowhere to run, no)]

Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide from you, baby
I just can't get away from you baby
No matter how I try
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
I'm a rabbit on fire
on fire with mascared eyes
I'm a white rat acquired
by the lab
I'm due to be shot
shot with experiment
waiting in line
for the next stab
I've got nowhere to run to
I've got nowhere to go
and no way of telling you
that none of you know
I burn in hellfire
kept alive in my deathbed
I'm a monkey with wire
in my head
I can't touch my face
rub my eyes or hear anything
suspended twixt
living and dead
they say I don't know
but I live under pressure
showing great symptons
of breakdown and fracture
I've got nowhere to run to
I've got nowhere to go
and no way of telling you
that none of you know
If I (RH) had my way
I'd be in there today
turn the voltage on you
burn you down
with the whole of your school
with your lessons on how
to dismiss others' feelings
while feeling that you're
always ever so kind
never cruel
but that's you
only you
of all us creatures on earth
that could only be you
if only you cared
not to kill not to torture
not to need to cause pain
fear and suffering
to be cool
you'd have all the friends
and the ends and the means
to live with the give
and the fox in the glove (the atmosphere)
on this jewel (the planet)
but that's you
only you
of all us creatures on earth
that could only be you
you're the mournful red eye
of the dog in the cage
the howl of despair
from the pound
forsaken forgotten
the live definition
the sad lonely meaning
of hound
and you've got nowhere to run to
nowhere to go
and no way of telling me
that this isn't so
for some of us know,
[so for all y'all niggaz out there that be puffin shit
When the music go on, y'all listen to this alright? ]
Verse one: prince rakeem/ryzarector
Let's get it on ock, and watch the spot get blown
I be the sick lunatic with the devilish poem
From the mists of the darkness I come with this
Hittin straight, to the chest, like a primatene mist
Ryzarector, yah, the fanatical type
I'm like a bat, in the night, when it's time to take flight
Here I am, in the flesh, and yes I love sess
I'm obsessed, by the sounds, the track posess
Intellectual, killer, special majestical
Ropin up the devils have em hangin from my testicles
Nowhere to run to ba-bay
There's nowhere to hide
Verse two: too poetic/grym reaper
Ahh... fuckit! another day, another ducat
From here to nantucket mc's kick the bucket
I'm rugged ruff flow-in up till I bust
While other rappers is flatter than a white girl's butt
I manifest my name and the reason I came in the first place
Word shake your brain just like an earthquake
A lot of people admit that I am raw
I cover my ass like a v-i-m, store
My forms are real wicked like dahmer
A whole mob of a lot of niggaz is like a meal ticket
It's nowhere to run to ba-bay
It's nowhere to hide
Verse three: fruitkwan/gatekeeper
As a child, a bad seed, was on the prowl
Runnin mad wild, cause death was my style
The crazy, maniac, yo lunatic
I circle like a shark when the fresh blood drips
Needles to the pen now you're in
I eat em then I feed em chop chop rippin sheets from your skin
Terror is in, with the rza and the grym
Problem one now begins, hah!
Streak up your skull to the sides of a freedom
Record to the meter, so tell me who could be the next one
Gravediggaz complex death oath
And watch king tee, kill a fuckin note
Here we go, I'm cursed with dawn you was warned
And now, I'm slayin every new firstborn
It's nowhere to run to ba-bay
It's nowhere to hide
It's nowhere to run to ba-bay
You best to stay inside
You best to stay inside
Verse four: prince rakeem/ryzarector
Here comes the drastic...[protect ya neck intro]
Just like... a tactic, attack it, attackin, attackin
I'm wrappin you bastard now prepare your casket
Death is the final step, when y'all step
To intercept, the rep, of a brother, who has kept
His status, stop the madness, that is
I flow just to show that, black, y'all can know that
Me, being wack is like naps on kojak
Eruptions of volcanoes, o-ccur when I speak
Try to twist my dialect and get caught by tornadoes
There's nowhere to run to ba-bay
There's nowhere to hide
There's nowhere to run to ba-bay
You best to stay inside
Outro: prince paul/the undertaker
{nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Running around the corridors
Blood on the walls
Blood on the floors
And your brain is full of fear
Evil laughs and dreadful cries
Nowhere to run nowhere to hide
Seems like death is standing near
Chorus:
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to run
What the hell is going on
There's killer behind you back
Just waiting for attack
And your heart is beating fast
Your body's shaking, you're going insane
Something's going on in your brain
Death will overtake you at last
Chorus
The might is over, the dawn is breaking
All night long you have been waiting
It's cleaning up inside your head
You think you're safe, you're feeling high
But you're wrong I'll tell you why
Nobody escapes the castle of death
(J.J. Cale)
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
No way to relieve
This feeling inside
You done gave me them blues
And then you took a ride
Left me with nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Shame, oh shame
On what you do
Can't you see that
I, I, I, been feeling so blue?
Cast a spell on me
Then you took a ride
Left me with nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Pardon me
If I sound so sad
I can't get to you
When I want you so bad
You done gave me them blues
Then you took a ride
Left me with nowhere to run
Nowhere to run to baby, nowhere to hide,
got nowhere to run to baby, nowhere to hide
it's not love i'm runnin from,
just a heartbreak i no will come,
cause i know your no good for me, but you've become a part of me.

[Intro: ODB]
Fuck that shit, know what I'm sayin'? You give a
shoutout to my nigga.
I ain't givin' a shoutout to no one for nobody. Fuck
that shit.
Big Baby Jesus in the muthafuckin' house. Know what I'm
sayin'?
Come on.
[DMX] Come on!
[Verse 1: DMX]
I don't walk that stop livin (bout like Bar?). Shuttin
down underground
streets of New York.
Hard what niggaz call me 'cuz the all be suckin my dick
in the
muthafuckin bar, G.
I know they half so I laugh with 'em. Bloodbath when I
let the fuckin rap
hit 'em.
Full clip but only half hit 'em. That's all it took.
Another crook taken
out over a dirty look.
A black rig with niggaz try and shot that. They ain't
takin a fuckin
thing from me but hot lead.
You know my style pick up cuz I'm always schemin and
jammin. Nigga's
holdin a six-string.
Police! But you got no piece. It was just you. Big man
and a lot more
grease.
All I gets is pounds and nigga want none of this. Back
streets are like
track meets cuz I be runnin this.
[Chorus: Ozzy w/DMX]
Ain't nowhere to run (Cuz I be runnin this)
Ain't nowhere to hide (Come on)
Ain't nowhere to go (Cuz I be runnin this)
Reach and seize the soul (Come on)
[Verse 2: Ozzy]
Surrounded by the colors I see crimson, black and blue.
[DMX] Come on!
Locking open doors again, I'm still afraid of you.
[ODB] Straight up, motherfucker.
Light to dark and light again, I always thought I knew.
[DMX] Come on!
Young to old and young again. What's left for me to do?
[ODB] Straight up.
Sister of the universe selecting me in time.
[DMX] Come on!
I'm falling down upon the earth and singing truth in
rhyme.
[DMX] Come on!
If I was a rolling stone, I'd roll until I flew.
[DMX] Come on!
And if I was a garden I would bloom in black for you.
[ODB] Don't y'all give a fuck?
[Chorus]
[ODB] Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh, aye, aye, aye...
[Chorus]
[Interlude: ODB]
What you motherfuckers invented is the craziest nigga
ever been invented.
Most knowed him 'fore, Ol' Dirt Bastard. I call him
JESUS!
There's no obstacles that you have to jump. There's no
walls that you
have to climb.
This is real! This is elementary deal! Elementary,
Watson! ELEMENTARY!
[Verse 3: ODB]
I ain't no pitch on ya. Fuck off, necklace wearin'
bitch. You don't want
this money till it's rich.
Buy my album! Call it by Dirty, set you free. Go
against the grain? I
gotta be.
I know you don't recognize me now. I done cocooned.
How many lightning bolts do it take to light up a
fuckin room?
Goverment people you better get the fuck off of me! We
don't need it!
It gets more augury. Bitches tryin to bust their ass to
get away from me
when I use my real name.
I call myself E. Nigga Butthole. All the same. All the
same. All the
same.
[Chorus]
[Outro Rant: ODB]
What motherfucker? Don't try to psychology my shit
motherfucker.
Cuz you can't psychology it, motherfucker.
[Hook]
Because I know there's got to be a better place
Sometimes I really want to run away
But the more I try the more I can't escape
Because there ain't no where to run
Instead I'm drunk, praying to the Lord
Sitting on my bed with a loaded gun
And then my girlfriend screams put the gun away
I told her love just saved the day
Let's pack our stuff and run away
From all this bullshit
Man, I hate my life, my job
I feel like my days is all
And give her five to eleven
Limping in my front door looking tired and sweating
Last thing I feel like doing is going and writing a record
My fuckin' socks are soaking wet, my girl gotta go to bed
These opposite schedules getting harder to manage
Working in a kitchen with a bunch of Mexicans
And I swear motherfuckers talk about me in Spanish
My only plan is to make it rapping
After so long you start thinking if this shit was meant to be, it'd happen
If it wasn't for my homie Yelawolf believin' in me
I'd still probably be feeling like my dream was shattered
Cuz my team is scattered, but now I got a second chance
It's time to get the fire back
At a young age, I done developed so many bad habits
I feel like I'mma have to snort a line to even try to write a rap
On top of that, I can't afford the power bill
Rappin' ain't payin', makin' nine dollars an hour still
Can't afford to have a kid, can't afford to put my girl on the pill
Plus I hate the way a condom feel
How does your family feel about your music, about your numbers?
They said it was dumb and never gave a shit
I be smilin' now, when they tell me they proud
But then the climate turn around and say some racist shit
So it's strainin' my relationship
I told my girl, I need her, I'd never leave her if I made it big
One day I want to marry you, and raise a kid
Gone all night long, but I ain't chasin' chicks
I'm trying to write, but always feeling like I can't commit
Can't come wit the shit I want to say to vent
Instead I'm steadily drowning am I wastin' it
Sometimes I wish I could escape from this
Because I know there's got to be a better place
Sometimes I really want to run away
But the more I try the more I can't escape
Because there ain't no where to run
Instead I'm drunk, praying to the Lord
Sitting on my bed with a loaded gun
And then my girlfriend screams put the gun away
I told her love just saved the day
Let's pack our stuff and run away
From all this bullshit
I just missed another show cuz I gotta work
If I try to request any more days off
Then my boss gonna fire me
He said he's tired of me tryin' him
I wanna tell him to go fuck himself
But I know ain't nobody hirin', besides I'm
Twenty-nine, my future's on the line
And my girlfriend rely on me to try to iron these
Problems we created down entirely
A year ago, this time, we was in a bind, in a dire need
To find a place to live, we was about to lose the crib
Had to get a job, that's exactly what I did
All for me is set and now this rapper shit is dead
Last Christmas, we ain't have the cash to get a gift
For each other, man, I'm sick of the struggle
Doing drugs made it easy to accept that
Then I settle getting used to having nada
My doctor said I got a bleedin' ulcer in my tummy
But still continue to shoot rot-gut liquor in my stomach, trying to numb it
Can't afford Crown, so I'm sippin' on McCormick's
Tryin' to write a rap, but I can't think of a chorus
I bet I snort some meth and things will hit em in opposal
And 'Wolf said, record exec's checkin' for us
So you better step it up, they're scanning the performance
Snap back in the music industry
I'm missing at least sick of kissing ass
I question my endurance
So I pour another shot, trying to calm me some
Alcohol really can't resolve it none
Still pissed off, thinking everyone is dumb
Because I don't give a fuck what team LeBron is on
Whoever follows on Twitter the comments on
My Facebook wall tellin' y'all what all I'm doin
I'm a ray of sunshine, yeah, ball of fun
But they can look up and I'll be gone
Because I know there's got to be a better place
Sometimes I really want to run away
But the more I try the more I can't escape
Because there ain't no where to run
Instead I'm drunk, praying to the Lord
Sitting on my bed with a loaded gun
And then my girlfriend screams put the gun away
I told her love just saved the day
Let's pack our stuff and run away
I can't take another day.
Seems like everything is slowly fading far away.
And I don't know what to think, but at least I know it's got me thinking.
Cause all I know is I'm not feeling right, and now I need another reason to try.
I wanna run away.
There's nowhere I can run to and now I don't understand, cause I'm not having fun,
And now it seems like everything we had once has gone wrong.
I'm the king of dumb mistakes.
I've made my bed, but I wwon't lie in it.
How much more can one guy take?
This pressure has got me going out of my mind.
Cause all I know is I'm not feeling right, and now I need another reason to try.
I wanna run away.
There's nowhere I can run to and now I don't understand, cause I'm not having fun,
And now it seems like everything we had once has gone wrong.
I wanna run away.
There's nowhere I can run to and now I don't understand, cause I'm not having fun,
And now it seems like everything we had once has gone wrong.
I wanna run away.
There's nowhere I can run to and now I don't understand, cause I'm not having fun,
Nowhere to run to, baby, nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run to, baby, nowhere to hide.
It's not love I'm running from,
It's the heartbreak I know will come.
'Cause I now you're no good for me,
But you've become a part of me.
Ev'rywhere I go your face I see
Ev'ry step I take you take with me.
Nowhere to run to, baby, nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run to, baby, nowhere to hide.
I know you're not good for me, but free of you I'll never be, no.
Each night as I sleep, into my heart you creep.
I wake up feelin' sorry I met you,
Hoping soon that I'll forget you.
When I look at the mirror to comb my hair
I see your face just a smiling there.
Nowhere to run to, baby, nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run to, baby, nowhere to hide.
I know you're not good for me,
But you've become a part of me,
How can I fight a lover that shouldn't be when it's so deep,
So deep, deep inside of me.
My love reaches so high I can't get around it.
It's so wide I can't get around it, no.
Nowhere to run to, Baby, nowhere to hide from you, baby
Just can't get away from you, baby,
No matter how I try to, baby
Nowhere to hide
I now tou're no good for me,
But free of you I'll never be,
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide,
Nowhere To Run to, baby, nowhere to hide
Got Nowhere To Run to, baby, Nowhere to hide.
It's not love I'm a running from,
It's the heartbreak I know will come.
'Cause I know you're no good for me, but you've become
a part of me.
Ev'rywhere I go your face I see ev'rystep I take you
take with me.
Nowhere To Run to, baby, nowhere to hide
Got Nowhere To Run to, baby, Nowhere to hide.
I know you're not good for me, but free of you I'll
never be, no.
Each night as I sleep, into my heart you creep.
I wake up feelin' sorry I met you, hoping soon that
I'll forget you.
When I look in the mirror to comb my hair
I see your face just a smiling there.
Nowhere To Run, Nowhere to hide from you baby,
Got Nowhere To Run to, baby, Nowhere to hide.
I know you're no good for me, but you've become a part
of me,
How can I fight a lover that shouldn't be when it's so
deep,
so deep, deep inside of me
My love reaches so high I can't get over it.
It's so wide I can't get around it, no
Nowhere To Run, Nowhere to hide from you baby.
Just can't get away from you baby, no matter how I try
to baby,
Nowhere to hide. I know you're no good for me, but free
of you I'll never be,
Nowhere To Run, Nowhere to hide, Got Nowhere To Run to
(Alvin Lee)
I read a lot of things I've seen in the papers
and they went right through my head.
Robbers and killers and midnight rapers
who will get you in your bed.
The world's not safe for living in;
There's too much hate and too much sin.
Got to get help from the new world shapers
or it might just be too late.
Gimme a line on the telephone;
Come on baby, don't make it alone.
No-where to run, no-where to hide
Can't stop you doping, you still think I'm joking; such a shame.
You know I love you, I'm thinking of you, you and me.
I heard a lot of tales about heavenly dopers
who are trying to make a break.
Know a lot of folk who are daily smokers
'Cause they just can't take it straight.
Reality can be a strain;
There's too much hate and too much pain.
Got to get some help or the air will choke us
or it might soon be too late.
Know we've got problems with the air,
Too many people who never care.
No-where to run, no-where to hide.
Can't stop you dying, I'm still gonna keep on trying; such a shame.
How do you feel about life
Are you tired of trying
How do you feel about gods
Do you think they were lying
How do you feel about peace
And the wars we keep fighting
In a world divided
They know something we dont know
Not much time here left to go
Nowhere to run, nowhere to run
They just keep denying
We know theyre all lying
Soon it will show, soon it will show
How do you feel about war
And the thousands left dying
Can you see through their eyes
Politicians conniving
Terrorism, disease and the suicide bombings
No ones disarming
They know something we dont know
Not much time here left to go
Nowhere to run, nowhere to run
They just keep denying
We know theyre all lying
Soon it will show, soon it will show
Whats left for me to say
We are all headed for judgement day
They know something we dont know
Not much time here left to go
Nowhere to run, nowhere to run
They just keep denying
We know theyre all lying
