The Getaway

Verse 1

that's it man, they got me
caught up in a damned traffic jam,
block me
everything except my passion is spent,
I got no baggage,
aint dragging no maps, no plans, follow?
how did I end up here, really?
just trying to keep my head up
damn I'm weary
so is it all a setup then,
is it?
this aint living,
wishing the man upstairs would listen

I got to get away type quick see a better day and
celebrate all life is now
the world is spinning,
this life is mine
as I'm burning bridges they light the skies it's time
to follow my heart, use to follow the bottle now me and
God go mano a mano, I got to go before my soul is
hollow, I got to follow my dreams
every artery screaming:
I got to be free
they said I need to think,
didn't have no thoughts
said I need a shrink,
cus my balance is off
they said my ship's gonna sink
cus my cash's all gone
that's when I feel like a drink but every glass' too
short so there I go,

get on a plane or a train and everything I ever feared
imma face it today and that's for sure,
so if they mention my name
thinking I'm dead or insane, tell them that Red's okay
he had to go.

Chorus

So come sunshine or come rain
Imma jump on a plane or a train
cus I feel my fire fading away
I can't, I can't, I can't stay

So come sunshine or come rain
Imma jump on a plane or a train
cus I feel my fire fading away
oh no, I got to get away,
away, away, away, away, away, away, away
got to get away

Verse 2

My feet greet sand, snow,
gravel and asphalt
you mad wrong thinking
that I'm singing a sad song
I'm on track
rap's in my backbone
I backpack back to back,
travel the map mode
the fast lane, fast life,
more like a bad joke
we're past last call,
only dust on the dance floor
I'm chilling to hell with living in fast forward so if
they knock on my door
just tell them the man's gone

so aint that the truth I'm out the backdoor before I
act a fool
today's my first day and last too
escape the bad fumes
and dodge my pasts gloom
stay on the move I only stop to pray
cus I know they got the yay a block away
but every time I get a chance to rock the stage
I feel free, it's like I already got away,
I'm on my way.

Chorus

So come sunshine or come rain
Imma jump on a plane or a train
cus I feel my fire fading away
I can't, I can't, I can't stay

So come sunshine or come rain
Imma jump on a plane or a train
cus I feel my fire fading away
oh no, I got to get away,
away, away, away away, away, away, away
got to get away
