Get awayGet awayGet awayGet awayAncestors' blood, there's iron in the clayWe trauma bond, survivor's painFelt our way through the dark where I was raisedThe right moves made you smart where I was raisedSummertime fireflies light up what lays in the streetsWe were raised to walk by, just mind your business so weGet awayGet awayThe projects mean process where I was raisedAin't no gettin' out, they're designed to stayWhere the markets ain't super, process on your plateThen they process you for jail, funeral processionsDon't trust the process, I'm telling youSummertime fireflies light up what lays in the streetsWe were raised to walk by, just mind your business so weGet away, get away, get awayYes, get awayGet away, get away, get awayWhoa, get awayGet away, get away, get awayWhoa, get awayGet away, get away, get awayI, I'm a candle in the darkAnd I come from a divine sparkAnd I'm my ancestor's thoughtsAnd their wildest dreams, their wildest dreamsAnd I finish anything that I startAnd I, and I hockey-stick every chartAnd I know it's hard for them to handle that partBut here we are, look at me, look at me, I'm 'bout toGet away-ay-ayRight outside your door where I was raisedThey would go to war where I was raisedAin't no 10, 5, 1-year plan where I was raised'Cause a random back-and-forth, you could die that dayWhere the summertime fireflieslight up what lays in the streetsWe were raised to walk by, just mind your business so weWhoa, get away
