Real McCoystarted in the Summer of 1989, when Reinhard Piel, A&R Manager of the german based label ZYX Records, called the little production company "Freshline Records" belonging to O'Jay, a musician and former photographer (he had already been part of a trio project called Masterplan, then took part to The Admirers and released the tracks Action! and Come Into My Life). Before this time they had already worked on a couple of other products with ZYX. This time they were looking for a cover "rap" version of the song Pump Up The Jam by Technotronic. A real artist at that time was not so important for ZYX, what they wanted was a quick production, something they could release ASAP. O-jay wrote and recorded his rap within 2 days.

Runaway Lyrics

Real Mccoy

Chorus:
Run away, run away, run away and save your life.
Run away, run away, run away if you want to survive.
Run away, run away, run away and save your life.
Run away, run away, run away if you want to survive.
Money, sex, in full control, a generation without soul,
Perfect people in a perfect world, behind closed doors all in control,
Life, in a world of luxury, cold cash money mentality,
You gotta keep the faith, you gotta keep the faith,
You better keep the faith and run away.
Chorus
Its time to break free, oh oh oh oh, run away, oh oh oh oh,
You better break free, oh oh oh oh, run away, oh oh oh oh.
Money, sex, in full control, look, big brother is watching you,
Unlock your brain and save your soul, no more limits, no more curfew,
Life in the perfect system, take a stand and fight for freedom,
Keep the faith, you gotta keep the faith,
You better keep the faith and run away.
Chorus several times
Its time to break free, oh oh oh oh, run away,
Oh oh oh oh, you better break free, oh oh oh oh,
Run away, oh oh oh oh
Keep the faith, you gotta keep the faith,
You better keep the faith and run away.
Keep the faith, you gotta keep the faith,
You better keep the faith and run away.
