[Intro] 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
[Verse 1] I go right away to get away from shit that's around Cos in my town, everything's not safe and sound Big cat's surround fighting for the plan so they can buy the brand I see them up in the front line [?] I look down I wonder if I wanna hang around Could there be a better place that I haven't found? Cos everywhere I go I see the same old sign Clock me on the rota try and take what is mine I shine, riding the [?], ahead of the time Got everything worked out on the shotter's line I got my family beside me riding on a journey Trying to break out of this shit but it's not easy
[Verse 2] Sometimes you need to break out Instead of trying to make out Like you're call 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 Cos now you've grown to hate Your surroundings can't 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 cos pape's gotta stack I want to 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
[Hook] 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
[Verse 3] I need to get away from all this pain, hatred and stress I need to find a way out of this place cos it's in a mess See yute's pon the street shotting jewels for little cash And instead of buying themselves something to eat, they're blazing crack Imagine everyone could live together as one Under the sun without the bird and the breders ever [?] Or to breathe clean air the vocal tearing your lungs And be run under a government that's really sharing it's funds All my people then, you'd best look out for the children Cos 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 cos you deserve it
[Verse 4] I need to get away from the scuffles in the dark In this concrete cage, I hustle with a mask You don't get no second gos cos mans be [?] I wanna get away to a place I don't need no weapon close Pigs step on toes, me I stay foot-loose You got through the day okay blud, that's good news I wanna get away from them feisty feds [?] cats from 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 be taking more ask me what I'm waiting for I'm gonna get away and blaze and read some 1984
[Outro] 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
