How can we escape from all this craziness?

-Runaway Love-

This song was written by Ludacris featuring Mary J.Blige. It was published in the album Release Therapy on 2006. The central subject of this video is the child abuse, drugs problems inside of family, but more than that, this kind of trouble continued through this kids, because when they grow up they do the same with their own sons, so this problem is like a lifecycle but is not their fault , they learned from his parents and environment where they live. It very important give this message through this kind of music, many people with this trouble listening hip-hop or R&B (well, maybe is a stereotype), they can reflect and change this situation.

Each one of the three verse telling us a realistic situation of different kind of families. The first teenager is Lisa, she doesn't know nothing about her family she only has her mother but she is an alcoholic and drug addict. Her stepfather abuse her but her mother don't believe her; this situation is critical because she has no one to turn to. She then decides to run away. Where can she runaway? The second is Nicole, his stepfather is an alcoholic and physically abuse her and her best friend dies in a drive-shooting, she is alone. Where she can run away? And the last one is Erika, who became pregnant at her young age with no money, she is afraid to her mother, so where can she run away?

I have this question when a saw this video, what will they do? they don't have family, maybe they don't trust anybody.  How can we change this situation? Is very hard find solutions but we can start changing our own lives, if we decide run away, we can change our future. Perhaps this video doesn't show our reality but for other people is their reality. If this isn't our reality, the only think that we can do is thank because we are fine and we have someone and we aren't alone but if we are in this situation, we need to run away.
