Gotta Get Away

Intro Chorus

I never thought that I would be,

caught up in this misery.

Thought I had everything planned out.

But every time that I try,

to get away from my past,

it leaves me comin in last.

Vrs. 1

This s**t just isn't fair, 

got me pullin out my hair,

I just need to get away from there.

I'ma leave you in the dust,

My future is a must.

Failure's not an option,

got a certain kind of lust,

that ain't about power, or money,

or greed, it's about my survival need.

I got to much ridin on this now.

And before I die I'ma fly so high,

they'll never bring me down.

I'll make you ware my frown,

So I can ware your crown.

This s**t has come way to far, 

Now I'm raisin the bar.

My futures lookin way to bright,

an if you git in my way,

I'll put out your lights.

So before I put em on the ground,

somebody better say good night.

Chorus

I never thought that I would be,

caught up in this misery

Thought I had everything planned out.

But every time that I try,

to get away from my past,

I leaves me comin in last.

Vrs. 2

Can't seem to settle down,

I'm always movin around,

everything has been turned upside down,

feel like I'm loosin ground

I'ma turn this world on it's nose,

that's just the way it goes.

Cause everybody knows, 

you get what you give,

it ain't about what you take,

it's about what you live.

Right now i'm livin poor an broke,

this s**t ain't no funny joke.

So sicka livin this way,

ain't got a dime to my name,

guess that's just part of the game.

So I'ma pull my way up on rung at a time,

gotta fight for my dime, 

so I can give my Daughter the chedda,

to make betta for her what I never had.

Chorus

I never thought that I would be

caught up in this misery

thought I had everything planned out

But every time that I try

to get away from the past

it leaves me comin in last.

Vrs. 3

I try  to keep myself motivated,

but everything just evaporated.

My future is so bright

cause my daughter is the switch,

that drug me outta the ditch.

An every time that I try to burn down the past, 

it turns around and bights me in the a*s.

Man I'm so sicka dis s**t,

gotta find a way to make it.

So damn tired of takin a back seat,

Damn it I wanna stand on my own two feet.

So I'ma plant some roots,

an put on my big boy boots,

an pull my panties up waist high.

Guess I never grew up,

kinda feel like a chump.

But that all changed the day my Deja was born,

Now Im lookin in at the scorn.

I'm sick of that s**t,

an all the looks too,

so I tried to bury my face in the books

but that ain't the way I learn.

Now I'ma burn the past,

no more comin in last

for better or for worse, I'ma take first.

Cause I can't stay.

I gotta get away.

I never thought that I would be

caught up in this misery

thought I had everything planned out

But every time that I try

to get away from the past

it leaves me comin in last.

I never thought that I would be

caught up in this misery

thought I had everything planned out

But every time that I try

to get away from the past

it leaves me comin in last.
