KRS-One Getaway song lyrics

We gotta think about where we goin in life

and how you gon get there

sometimes people around you just stagnating, waiting, procrastinating, hating

we gotta get away

i come to take you, come on

we gotta get away we got to do it now

we gotta get away and ima show yall how

we gotta get away we gotta do it now we gotta get away (get away) to a better day (better day)

its time for u to leave

its time for u to be what u believe

its time for u to get up and achieve

its time for u to eat right into position to receive those higher degrees-philosophy

you dont wanna sell keys, have your wrist on freeze

banging beats and fly rhymes, man sell me

so please, i'll give them some space so you can believe that you can receive what you perceive

you gotta leave (you gotta leave) old friends and enemies and people tryin hard to deceive

(we cant leave!)

people study snitching to the D's, ratting each other out for fees all you can say is CHEESE

no mercy just mercedes and young ladies having babies this is crazy (so leave, leave)

follow the bahama breeze, you deserve a break fosheez lets go

Anyway, many say, get that money man, but i dont know without peace NO it aint sunny man

i seek peace, eat peace, even teach peace,

fight for peace, write for peace smite the beast for peace

LOVE, UNITY-having fun

freedom, equality-hip hop culture we are ONE, lets run!

off the plantation off that man's station, off their satellite and their corporations

why you waiting?

hesitating, procrastinating, stagnating

lets change the situation (tonight)

break the chains and follow me, its time that you really be free COMMON
