Get Away Lyrics

[00:00.45] Get AwayStatik Selektah
[00:02.42] Get away, while you can
[00:08.01] Champagne wishes and Caviar dreams
[00:10.42] That life is a thing that my people never seen
[00:12.79] Hands never clean, dirts on the fingernails
[00:14.87] Feeling like a donkey while the boss playing pin the tail
[00:18.15] Happens all the time when you at the underground
[00:21.84] I know people with the [?] in the unemployment lines
[00:22.51] [?] catching breaks, they try'na catch a check
[00:25.85] Pay the light bill, pray they needs getting met
[00:27.90] Put them on they sweat, say they [?]
[00:29.78] [?] coming weeks, dress on they necks
[00:31.16] They wanna [?], it really is surprising
[00:35.18] With the lack of charge and the gas keeps rising
[00:37.84] I don't wanna regret a day, that I didn't take a chance to make it a better day
[00:39.58] Had to figure out a better way
[00:43.72] There's some people like me on they charge, tryna get away
[00:47.55] (We come, we live, we go)
[00:50.46] You know it's only a lifetime
[00:53.01] You better find something to say because
[00:56.95] (We come, we live, we go)
[01:00.75] And until you see your last day
[01:04.04] It's moment to moment
[01:05.28] Take a moment to get away
[01:07.54] I see my momma working hard for the fam'
[01:09.69] But it hurts me as a man, I can get a righter jam
[01:11.52] I tryna take lil' money that I make
[01:13.94] Break a little bread, goal in the hand
[01:16.38] As I reflect, on what I just said
[01:19.25] My dad two months in on a hospital bed
[01:21.73] My eyes blushed out red
[01:23.93] If I gotta watch him go, then I'm better off dead
[01:26.28] Cause I ain't tryna see it, I wish I could believe it
[01:28.05] Would be better forever, cause help I really need it
[01:30.05] And I ain't too conceded, to ask you for a hand
[01:31.67] Cause I know as a man with a boost Imma reach it
[01:35.72] Stand on my own, spread my wings
[01:37.11] Sowing through the clouds, getting out dreams, doing my thing
[01:38.41] Make my foes proud, cause I love to see 'em smile when we living like kings
[01:42.24] Yeah we gotta get away
[01:43.46] You can't understand the [?]
[01:44.02] How though it is for me to pin this
[02:10.02] I tried to smile, but for some while
[02:13.13] It's been hard cause my pain is endless
[02:16.41] I search my soul, try'na to reflect
[02:19.27] Live straight, don't worry bout the angles
[02:21.32] I thought I was done with this record
[02:23.63] But my pop went to rest with the angles
[02:26.73] So I had to relive his death
[02:28.98] Sitting by his bed, watching his last breath
[02:31.35] And I can still hear mom screaming
[02:33.59] "Lord please", with her hand on her chest
[02:35.74] And everybody in the room crying
[02:38.79] Hardest shit I've ever seen no lying
[02:41.17] Pops, you gone live through me
[02:42.98] And Imma make you proud or I'm gonna die trying
[02:45.18] I'm gonna get away
[02:45.80]
