Getaway - Foreign Beggars

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
