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 's kicking a flow real smooth. E double SS with some cess is a necessity to move. So hit it where ya fit in and let them rhythm snatch ya. As I release another Brown batch of Jams that slam And you can't touch so scram. I know you cram to understand who I am. Damn, by the way can I please get this dance Let's not freelance cause I'm just getting started, Believe me that was nothing but a Brown party. That's on, going on and got it going on. Bob and Ted's rated number one so flow on it And if you're in the house pump your fist and say ho, ho, ho. Ted bring me on back Bring me on back, dance. There it is, oow. I've got to get away [To Fade]
