Von-T - Take Me Away Lyrics

Nowadays I'm livin in my head
I'm thinkin bout some of the things that I always said
And how
Most of friendships they all dead
And how the smell of success can make a nigga scared
Yea

They hate on you when they see ya comin up
But send condolences to ya when ya be down on ya luck
They talkin shit behind ya back and hopin that you get stuck
So they can go say that you was only a runner-up ya see

Why can't you just be my brother and we just love another
Why do we fight and steal and got to try to kill each other
We could accomplish so much if we had some unity
To lead the eulogy I hope I get the opportunity

Active Immunity working in the community
To make oppressors pay for their discretions and impunities
Bigger than you and me
If only we could stop the beef
To see that we are crucially brutally and so foolishly

Deny design of something given to us beautifully
We kings and queens but are we acting like we royalty?
We get up on the track and talk about our jewelry
And usually we use our riches and it's so unsuitably
Uselessly ruthlessly and most of all we use it stupidly
Then operate like there ain't shit that they can do to me

A product of the system, yea that's what we say
Even I been lead astray
Until the beat come and take me away

Aye yea yeah bae let the beat come and take me away
Aye yea yeah bae let the beat come and take me away
Aye yeah bae let the beat come and take me away
Aye yea yeah bae let the beat come and take me away

Aye yea yeah bae let the beat come and take me away
Aye yea yeah bae let the beat come and take me away
Aye yea yeah bae let the beat come and take me away
Aye yea aye yea yeah bae aye

One time for Nipsey Hussle and Jay-Z
Rest in peace to Nispey Hussle man
You see he died when he shouldn't of had to
But on the flipside of Hip-Hop gave us our first black billionaire

Some brothas givin they heart
Most niggas give they mind
Half of the time most of us just out here tryin to shine
The other half of us is out here and we stay up on our grind
Out with the draco committing crime dodging one time

They wait up for the cocaine even though they hate the line
You do some good niggas kill you hit you hit you wit the slime
But you can't kill an icon even in the face of evil
That's why my nigga Nipsey he icon for the people
If you just sit down shut the fuck up then well try to teach you
Them words be lethal when your lyrics out here spittin diesel

You stay talkin bout all of the red and reppin the blue
But it's the white that's in the middle that control the youth
They hate on you when you aware and you spread the truth
It's no coincidence the flag red white and blue
And if they coming for me
I was never here to stay
I'll just sit and pray
Let the beat take me away

Aye yea aye yeah bae let the beat come and take me away
Yeah yea aye aye yeah aye
Let it take me away aye yeah
Yea let it take me away aye
Yeah let the beat come and take me away
Yea bae let the beat come and take me away
