[00:00:00] How I wish I could stay far away far away

[00:00:04] How I wish I could stay far away far away

[00:00:08] How I wish I could stay far away far away

[00:00:12] How I wish I could stay far away far away

[00:00:16] How I wish I could stay far away far away

[00:00:20] How I wish I could stay far away far away

[00:00:24] Away from the milling masses

[00:00:28] Filth vermin and gases

[00:00:32] Muggings thuggings near naked bodies as they go marching past

[00:00:36] Shamming at modesty in miniskirt mask

[00:00:39] And it's a trip stay far away far away

[00:00:43] Yes it's a trip stay far away far away

[00:00:47] From the screaming and cussin'

[00:00:49] From the gambling and hustlin'

[00:00:51] From the nodding and the fussin'

[00:00:53] From the confusion of integration

[00:00:58] And segregation

[00:01:02] Amidst the cries of let's build a nation

[00:01:06] Separation y'all separation y'all

[00:01:10] Separation separation

[00:01:14] How I wish I could stay far away far away

[00:01:18] How I wish I could stay far away far away

[00:01:21] Yes I trip to escape the environmental rape

[00:01:25] The industrial waste in the rivers and lakes

[00:01:29] The mad mad race for the vastness of space

[00:01:33] The clamour and fuss to quicken the pace

[00:01:37] The hypocrites' call of justice for all

[00:01:40] Though this cannot be for people like me

[00:01:44] There's no place for the poor y'all in this society

[00:01:48] How I wish I could stay far away far away

[00:01:52] There's no place for the poor y'all in this society

[00:01:56] How I wish I could stay far away far away

[00:01:59] So I trip and I flee from the things that I see

[00:02:03] Yes I trip and I flee from this brand of liberty

[00:02:07] Yes I trip and I flee so perhaps for a moment

[00:02:11] I might be free free free

[00:02:12] I might be free free free

[00:02:14] And it's a wish I could stay far away far away

[00:02:18] Yes it's a trip stay far away far away

[00:02:22] Yes I split with my mind through the passage of time

[00:02:26] Back when men were still men and the sisters were fine

[00:02:30] And a man had a friend and a man had allah

[00:02:33] And a man had some land and a faith to defend

[00:02:37] Back in time before men were deceived by the jinn

[00:02:41] How I wish I could stay far away far away

[00:02:44] Back in time before men were deceived by the jinn

[00:02:48] How I wish I could stay far away far away

[00:02:52] But Alas I come back to the real to the fact

[00:02:56] Being poor being black being under attack

[00:02:59] Being under attack for just being black

[00:03:03] Being under attack for just being black

[00:03:07] Being under attack for just being black

[00:03:11] Being under attack and that is a fact

[00:03:14] And it's a trip could stay far away far away

[00:03:18] It's a trip stay far away far away

[00:03:22] Yes it's time we all took a real hard look

[00:03:25] At the lifestyles we have and the ones we forsook

[00:03:29] And our past and our present at the future we crave

[00:03:33] And at the things we encounter between the womb and the grave

[00:03:37] And what we must do and what must be saved

[00:03:40] And how we must struggle and how things will be

[00:03:44] When truth is revealed y'all and falsehood has died

[00:03:48] I wish I could stay far away far away

[00:03:51] When truth is revealed y'all and falsehood has died

[00:03:55] I wish I could stay far away far away

[00:03:58] How I wish I could stay far away far away

[00:04:02] How I wish I could stay far away far away

[00:04:06] How I wish I could stay far away far away

[00:04:09] From the witches and vampires that stalk me each day

[00:04:13] How I wish I could stay far away far away

[00:04:17] Far away from the hunter that makes me the prey

[00:04:20] How I wish I could stay far away far away

[00:04:24] Far away from the snare that they lay on the way

[00:04:28] How I wish I could stay far away far away

[00:04:31] For the soul is the prize in the game that they play

[00:04:35] For the soul is the prize in the game that they play

[00:04:39] For the soul is the prize in the game that they play
