Getaway

[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
