Overall Meaning

The song "Run Away" by LAX is a love song that expresses the feelings of a man for his lover. The song sets off with the announcement of the cities where the rapper originates from with the phrase "It's WC, It's LA, Iskaba," which is a reference to their home cities. The chorus is a promise that the artist won't leave his lover even in difficult situations. He compares his love to fighting a battle and likens himself to a commando who is ready to fight for her. The line "And I go fight for your love, Girl I can be your Jango" is a reference to the character Django from the western film, who is known for his expertise in gun battle.


The second verse has the rapper imploring his lover to give him a chance to love her fully. He makes light of the situation by saying he doesn't speak Chinese, but that he's sure she gets his point. The bridge of the song, which is sung mostly in Yoruba language (a language spoken in some parts of Nigeria), has LAX describing his lover as the truth, beautiful, and desirable. He affirms his commitment to give her all he has and fight for her love even if it means fighting a country like China or the police.
