LYRICS:

Somedays I feel hopeless me and my niggaz chilling and smoking

Puffing twenty sacks until we broke then

Head up to the liquor store and looking for some hoes to fuck

But we from Oakland so they tend to turn they noses up

So we buy a couple blacks then we back on the track

Like Too $hort trying to put the town back on the map

And its kinda like the time when Ali fought Liston

I got a lot to say but these fools ain’t listening

Nobody give a fuck if I succeed or fail

Sitting in county blues or I made my bail

They say I’m heartless but I ain’t have a lot to start with

Young and black I’m Americas’ target

Cops wanna chase me and strip me down

Bulets flying in the air so we hit the ground

What decision would you make if it’s kill or be killed

Living in the ghetto where the streets is real

Gotta find a way to get away from all the troubles on my brain (Get Away)

Right away ’cause all this stress is slowly driving me insane (Get Away)

I could say that I’m always trying to find a brighter day (Get Away)

Right away gotta find a way to get away

We’re all born alone nigga fuck the world

Smoking and drinking liquor till’ I start to earl

And friends I used to have turn they back around

Now they wanna see me buried underneath the ground

And it’s funny when you chasing for money it’s never sunny

When you selling dope having the hope of stacking hundreds

And I’m telling you the grass isn’t greener on either side

But fools believe otherwise till’ they die

And I don’t give a fuck ’cause really who am I to say

Live in poverty and looking for a brighter day

But right away you gotta stay prepared for rain

’cause fools confused refuse to bear the pain

Smile now cry later till’ you reached the elevator

Hustle to get your weight up for a purpose that’s greater

And watch the world now as the century advances

Peace to niggaz taking them penitentiary chances

Gotta find a way to get away from all the troubles on my brain (Get Away)

Right away ’cause all this stress is slowly driving me insane (Get Away)

I could say that I’m always trying to find a brighter day (Get Away)

Right away gotta find a way to get away

As we searching for purpose feeling like we worthless

Trying not to focus how fucked up the earth is

Living in this circus as slave labor workers

Boiling underneath but staying cool on the surface

Trust me any nigga alive can be rushed

That’s why I try to stay humble ’cause I know I can be touched

And I’m trying to give the world my version of soul food

By showing everybody everything that I go through

From the ghetto to the burbs it was part of God’s plan

Doing the best I can to relate to any man

And we all have times when we smile and cry

‘Cause we all go through the same bullshit inside

And that’s just the way it is as a matter of fact

So I’m about to make a living off reality rap

And I be the living testimony of words I say

Through sunshine good times and fucked up days

Gotta find a way to get away from all the troubles on my brain (Get Away)

Right away ’cause all this stress is slowly driving me insane (Get Away)

I could say that I’m always trying to find a brighter day (Get Away)

Right away gotta find a way to get away

Gotta find a way to get away from all the troubles on my brain (Get Away)

Right away ’cause all this stress is slowly driving me insane (Get Away)

I could say that I’m always trying to find a brighter day (Get Away)

Right away gotta find a way to get away

Get away get away get away got to got to get away got to get away get away aye

Damn gotta get away no more pain
