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
