lyrics

Beyond

verse 1

follow me down the yellow brick road
to the project steps in the ghetto
where my conscience slept in a death row
I was born here, left in a death hole
all of friends are gone in the wind
tossed in the pen, lost and they all
live in sin, robbing the kids
slaughtered, offing their limbs
darkness is calling all of our kin
but hell is just so handsome
it touch em' then romance em'
it bust em' down and ask em'
if they'd like some private dancing
so many times i've tried to run away
but I can't outrun hell its here to stay
wish I had wings on my back to fly away
had wings on my back to fly away

chorus

I just wanna fly away, far so far
I just wanna fly away, far so far
I just wanna fly away (just wanna fly away, just wanna fly away, just wanna fly away)
I just wanna fly away (just wanna fly away, just wanna fly away, just wanna fly away)

verse 2

living inside a broke household
mommy and my papa can't get along
so I live in a basement and sit alone
I hope y'all never see what I been shown
everyday, striking her face
fighting away
screams in the night and the day
Ike'ing her face
go and get her knife and her mace
sweet nine millimeter she be hiding in the safe
but she say he's so handsome
she love em' she romance em'
she bust em' down and ask em'
if he'd like some private dancing
so many times i've tried to run away
but I cant outrun hell its here to stay
wish I had wings on my back to fly away
had wings on my back to fly away

chorus

for the beat of the drum
i'd sleep on the sun
hold heat deep at the feet of the gun
low key creep with the reaper to numb
ya life and then i'd feast on the young
twice
let it leap from my tongue
i'm a writer no need for my lungs
for the Beatstreet and people in slums
I'ma go knee deep in the beat and beyond

In the beat and beyond
In the beat and beyond
In the beat and beyond
for the Beatstreet and the people in slums (2x)

chorus

I just wanna fly away
somebody help me find
some way to escape from the pain
I just wanna fly away
somebody help me find
some way to escape from the pain
I just wanna fly away
far far far far far
I just wanna fly away
far far far far far
