Sometimes I wanna get away
From this place
A million miles away
I'm tryna escape
But I'm trapped
I'm just so far away

From my dreams
Naive plans
I had so much in my teens
Now I'm grown up
I get sad
Wasted opportunity

Go forward
Not back
Into uncertainty
Be fearless
Not trapped
By your insecurities

Seek paths
Explore
Do what you ain't did before
Ask questions
Get facts
Walk through all open doors

Sometimes I wanna get away
From this place
A million miles away
I'm tryna escape
But I'm trapped
I'm just so far away

From my dreams
Naive plans
I had so much in my teens
Now I'm grown up
I get sad
Wasted opportunity

At thirteen I dreams
Of being the best mc
But I was scared to admit
What I wanted to be
I didn't wanna be the music guy
Who always on it but never had hits
I've never liked when people asked
"Yo fam are you still on the music ting?"
Cah deep inside I cringe
I've spent the past 10 years lock away
Doing my thing
To step in the light is a scary thing
I've always been low key
Doing my thing

Sometimes I wanna get away
From this place
A million miles away
I'm tryna escape
But I'm trapped
I'm just so far away

From my dreams
Naive plans
I had so much in my teens
Now I'm grown up
I get sad
Wasted opportunity

Go forward
Not back
Into uncertainty
Be fearless
Not trapped

From my dreams

Now I'm grown up
I get sad
Wasted opportunity

I'm cemented in place
31 one years I've been here
Feet planted firm on these concrete slabs
Roots connect to the soil through cracks
Cul de sac state of mind
Pushed button bags door to door like Avon
Ended up on a plantation
Stuck in retail in a series of low paid jobs
I tried to escape
But I hated the way the boss spoke to me
I went back
It was supposed to be temporary
Now I feel trapped
Going round and round
The same thing day in and day out
I might have just found a way out
The underground railroad ain't finished yet
I don't want to get to 40 with regrets
Taming my focus
Trying not to let my mind go astray
Getting high off my dreams
The morning afters my astray
I wake up and realise I'm still here
Set my alarm
Get up
Drive there
Clock in
Pretend that I'm caring
When it takes too much energy
To keep pretending
I need to escape
I don't want to die in this place
I'd rather depart with a happy face
The I don't have a care in the world face
Grass under my bare feet type face
Where you can see my teeth glisten
A million miles away

Sometimes I wanna get away
From this place
A million miles away
I'm tryna escape
But I'm trapped
I'm just so far away

From my dreams
Naive plans
I had so much in my teens
Now I'm grown up
I get sad
Wasted opportunity
