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
