Getaway

I need to get away

You gotta get away, you gotta get away

I need to get away

You gotta get away, you gotta get away

I wanna get away from all the strains that weigh you down

I wanna get away to a place that has no pain

I go right away to get away from shit that's around

'Cause in my town everything's not safe and sound

Bare cats around fighting for the pound so they can buy the brown

I see them up in the front line in each town

I look down and wonder if I wanna hang around

Could there be a better place that I haven't found?

'Cause everywhere I go I see the same old sign

Clock me on the road and try take what is mine

I shine, riding the

Got everything worked out on the shortest line

I got my family beside me riding on the journey

Trying to get out this shit but it's not easy

Sometimes you need to break out

Instead of trying to make out

Like you're cool but you're walking street with your face down

Watching the ground, variation's not to be found

And days just repeat themselves so you watch them go round

And hope for change, 'cause now you've grown to hate

Your surroundings, go hang around in your own estate

You need to get away, to a place you've never been

See the sights you've never seen, and feel free

If you feel me, holla back

Can't get away now, gotta stay now 'cause papes gotta stack

I wanna travel the world to each place on the map

For now I travel through sound as I blaze on the track

I need to get away

I wanna get away from all the strains that weigh you down

I wanna get away to a place that has no pain

Life should be filled with total happiness, no stress

Where all the struggles ain't that hard to face, oh yeah

When you feel you're standing on your own, your own

And life's too much to take

I need to get away

I need to get away from all the pain, hatred and stress

I need to find a way out of this place 'cause it's in a mess

See youts pon the street shotting jewels for little cash

And instead of buying themselves anything to eat they're blazing crack

Imagine everyone could live together as one

Under the sun without the burden of brothers ever bearing the guns

Wanna breathe clean air, the bog will tear in your lungs

And we run under a government that's really sharing us funds

So all my people then, you best look out for the children

'Cause little do you know they hold the future right within them

You only live once, your life is yours so make it worth it

Believe in yourself and get away 'cause you deserve it

I need to get away from the scuffles in the dark

In this concrete cage, I hustle with a marsh

You don't get no second goals 'cause man stay

I wanna get away to a place, I don't need no weapon

Pigs step on toes, me I stay footloose

You got through the day okay blud, that's good news

I wanna get away from them face the feds

And grimy flats, them cats for the pipe that's behind my back

From the heat, from the street, from the nightly scraps

From the schemes to get the cash that go wrong like that

Still maybe I'll be taking more, ask me what I'm waiting for

I'm gonna get away and blaze and read some 1984

I need to get away

You gotta get away, you gotta get away

I need to get away

You gotta get away, you gotta get away

I wanna get away from all the strains that weigh you down

I wanna get away to a place that has no pain
