Slykstah - Run Away (feat. Nann)

We gettin' played, and we know it
See the front page, and they show it
We do the slave, and they show it
Keep gettin' played, keep on ignorin' (Fuck it)
Run away with me
We can see the world, come and play with me
Come get payed with me
Aint no future here so run away with me

I got a vision and abilities galore
Same blood in my veins as a prisoner of war
Migrated from the country to that golden Cali shore
And just like them I'm on a mission trying to find me somethin more
Lets make a beak escapin' slavery
All this work I'm doin's worth much more than payin' me
I was strugglin' just as had when all I had was slangin' tree
Fuck this W-2 and fuck what IRS got to say to me
Government full of crooks they say Same shit on a different day
History repeats itself politics and retroe jays
I cannot do a dress code I just be in finesse mode
I just want to let my hair grow, rollin' up on the best smoke
If 12 get the run away up in they midst
Bitch I aint complacent they gon' have to hang Slyk
No one said freedom was fee, boke niggas gotta take it
And I'm so close to the land of milk and honey I can taste it

We gettin' played, and we know it
See the front page, and they show it
We do the slave, and they show it
Keep gettin' played, keep on ignorin' (Fuck it)
Run away with me
We can see the world, come and play with me
Come get payed with me
Aint no future here so run away with me

Let's go and grab a grip, tavel take a trip
See tropical fish, in white sand when we sit
Instead of trying to flip, we just enjoy our zips
I want the gold, and foreign kinds when I think chains and whips
Lets disappear into the mist, it's only common sense
If we ever plan to see the things we've only dreamt exist
Bitch I'm for real no second guess, ain't no hand over my chest
I feel like M-O-S-E-S, lead the strong finesse the rest
And I'm under influence, lookin like a nuisance
Might of grew up a rascal, but I lead by example
And most of my role models, was high or on that bottle
Let's run up our stars like my niggy from Grand Theft Auto
'Cause the law ain't nothin but slave catchers
Plus I really doubt that they'd catch us
It's dangerous, the way's treatrous, I know these blocks I've played tetris
Shit is starting to seem, like modern slavery
I just want to live the dream my mama gave to me
So little sis can see, that she too can be free
To flee from misery, and rewrite history
