[Intro]
Ay, rolling my f**ing stinky up man. I have a flight 7 in the morning, I'ma be right back in Chicago like 8, 9 o'clock at night though, you know in and out sh**, uh
[Hook]
Ay, Lord take me away
From all the people that ain't tryna make me a way
I told my mama no more struggling, it's gon' be okay
Yeah, I was hustling in them streets tryna make me a wave
Mama told me, better not let them streets take me away
So I got to that sh**, stuck to that sh**, now she okay
She called my phone to ask how long I'm gon' be away
Cause where I'm at, I fall asleep same time as she away
[Verse 1]
Lord take me away
To another place
I'm from a place where it ain't safe to put my gun away
This street sh** ain't fun no more, they took the fun away
I used to post up on that block and have my gun on waist
Knee deep in them streets with nothing to say, I ain't playing no f**ing games
I was with my n***as, you know they with it, ain't hang with no f**ing lames
Don't drop our names, still dropout gang, we'll pull up bust some brains
I remember them days in the studio late sweating like a f**ing slave
Too many days now I take a day just to make 100k
100,000 days I was up at night tryna make another wave
Got my mama another place, that other sh** don't mean nothing to me, ay
[Hook]
Ay, Lord take me away
From all the people that ain't tryna make me a way
I told my mama no more struggling, it's gon' be okay
Yeah, I was hustling in them streets tryna make me a wave
Mama told me, better not let them streets take me away
So I got to that sh**, stuck to that sh**, now she okay
She called my phone to ask how long I'm gon' be away
Cause where I'm at, I fall asleep same time as she away
[Verse 2]
Young n***a f** that sack up tryna make me a wave
Stuck to my grind got that sh** back, it ain't take me away
Broke in the hood before I ever made it on the big screens
Selling 14s, 15s, then I started spitting 16s
All I ever knew was get cream
Only other way was hit fiends
Made my mama cry to get this sh**, n***a I'm from the streets
I've seen my homies die up in this sh** n***a, wasn't nothing sweet
Remember nights I cried, I think of that and that's what humbled me
I know that my life always at risk, I keep that b**h from me
f** the penitentiary, n***as won't get sh** from me
Murder-murder, k** thy enemy, don't show no sympathy
If I don't squeeze that trigger from where I'm from they end up k**ing me, n***a
[Hook]
Ay, Lord take me away
From all the people that ain't tryna make me a way
I told my mama no more struggling, it's gon' be okay
Yeah, I was hustling in them streets tryna make me a wave
Mama told me, better not let them streets take me away
So I got to that sh**, stuck to that sh**, now she okay
She called my phone to ask how long I'm gon' be away
Cause where I'm at, I fall asleep same time as she away
