Away

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah [Verse 1] Meetin' a girl like this just wouldn't happen But she's unhappy, don't realise how good she has it Lookin' at her she a dream girl, trust me But when she look in the mirror, all she see is ugly She wanna look like the pictures in the magazines So the mirror's like bacteria for vanity Denies you could see her beautiful She is, so she drinks but refuses to eat Portrays herself as outgoin' But she's just addin' to the pressure on herself without knowin' Dreamin' of boys shе dare not approach 'Cause the thought of bеin' loved is what scares her the most She put her left foot forward, right foot forward Best foot forward, the right looks awkward So she's still soaked in self consciousness Thick and thin spells confidence She wanna get away [Chorus] Gotta get it Uh, uh, gotta get it Gotta get it Uh, uh, gotta get it Hey I know it rain sometimes, she wanna get away And don't we all [Verse 2] She just wants some to listen And he needs someone to kiss and so this is Where their paths collide Tonight they share a bed beneath the starry sky She obliged, left the party with him trippin' Probably somethin' to do with the bacardí they been drinkin' Three months later her tummy started gettin' bigger Got in touch with him like "You're the only partner that I've been with" Told him it was his, he was hardly even listenin' 'Cause bein' a father figure's somethin' the father couldn't figure So when she left his house that day That was the last time she saw him around the way He disappeared without a trace Now she's facin' a world with a baby she don't know how to raise Sour taste from a long lost lover Damn it's been a long hot summer She wanna get away [Chorus] Gotta get it Uh, uh, gotta get it Gotta get it Uh, uh, gotta get it Meet Sue [Verse 3] She works so hard, but they don't acknowledge it Her gender seems to outweigh her accomplishments In a male driven business there's a weight overtoppin' her It's not the most dignified, so she stays at the bottom As opportunities left and right, but they ain't makin' her promises Got a newborn son, she gotta pay for his doctor visits Ain't no help from the father, she's makin' an honest livin' But the bank account ain't got any dollars in it What would you do if you were lost as Sue? Where management never follow through on all the shit they promise you I mean they holdin' out, but what's she gonna do? I mean she wants a raise, but her boss wants one too So the whistles and the taunts continue All begins to lead to all sorts of issues So when she's sittin' at her desk all day She's just thinkin' "Damn, I gotta get away" Fly [Outro] Smile when your friends take photos Chase somethin' real, then chase [?] Somethin' is sad It's almost as if you could fly I know you wanna get away Wanna get away We all wanna get away Maybe we will someday Hey
