I've got to get away [x9] Ain't nothin' but the funk, Baby! I need a piece of mind, I'm stressed out today It's about that time To make that get away Dealin' with the people I deal with everyday Got to find a place I can hide away So I can be away from the madness Far from the noise and the darkness It's not too late, there's got to be a way For me to escape all this nonsense I've got to get away [x5] They try and run my life But that's the way I live Do what I want to do 'Cause it's my prerogative People always trippin' About the things I say But I'm livin' for the future And I'm doing things my way So why does the world just keep on Doggin' me I have to leave it all behind 'Cause there's gotta be a way For me to escape all this nonsense I've got to get away [x4] Yo, check the groove be
