[00:00.79]How I wish I could stay far away far away
[00:04.7]How I wish I could stay far away far away
[00:08.64]How I wish I could stay far away far away
[00:12.52]How I wish I could stay far away far away
[00:16.39]How I wish I could stay far away far away
[00:20.35]How I wish I could stay far away far away
[00:24.65]Away from the milling masses
[00:28.61]Filth vermin and gases
[00:32.56]Muggings thuggings near naked bodies as they go marching past
[00:36.26]Shamming at modesty in miniskirt mask
[00:39.79]And it's a trip stay far away far away
[00:43.74]Yes it's a trip stay far away far away
[00:47.43]From the screaming and cussin'
[00:49.35]From the gambling and hustlin'
[00:51.33]From the nodding and the fussin'
[00:53.1]From the confusion of integration
[00:58.86]And segregation
[01:02.82]Amidst the cries of let's build a nation
[01:06.51]Separation y'all separation y'all
[01:10.65]Separation separation
[01:14.33]How I wish I could stay far away far away
[01:18.13]How I wish I could stay far away far away
[01:21.770004]Yes I trip to escape the environmental rape
[01:25.729996]The industrial waste in the rivers and lakes
[01:29.62]The mad mad race for the vastness of space
[01:33.44]The clamour and fuss to quicken the pace
[01:37.34]The hypocrites' call of justice for all
[01:40.740005]Though this cannot be for people like me
[01:44.619995]There's no place for the poor y'all in this society
[01:48.59]How I wish I could stay far away far away
[01:52.3]There's no place for the poor y'all in this society
[01:56.270004]How I wish I could stay far away far away
[01:59.630005]So I trip and I flee from the things that I see
[02:03.61]Yes I trip and I flee from this brand of liberty
[02:07.36]Yes I trip and I flee so perhaps for a moment
[02:11.12]I might be free free free
[02:12.8]I might be free free free
[02:14.75]And it's a wish I could stay far away far away
[02:18.52]Yes it's a trip stay far away far away
[02:22.31]Yes I split with my mind through the passage of time
[02:26.29001]Back when men were still men and the sisters were fine
[02:30.03]And a man had a friend and a man had allah
[02:33.61]And a man had some land and a faith to defend
[02:37.34]Back in time before men were deceived by the jinn
[02:41.28]How I wish I could stay far away far away
[02:44.81]Back in time before men were deceived by the jinn
[02:48.69]How I wish I could stay far away far away
[02:52.29001]But Alas I come back to the real to the fact
[02:56.14]Being poor being black being under attack
[02:59.95]Being under attack for just being black
[03:03.63]Being under attack for just being black
[03:07.41]Being under attack for just being black
[03:11.07]Being under attack and that is a fact
[03:14.82]And it's a trip could stay far away far away
[03:18.26]It's a trip stay far away far away
[03:22.12]Yes it's time we all took a real hard look
[03:25.66]At the lifestyles we have and the ones we forsook
[03:29.5]And our past and our present at the future we crave
[03:33.18]And at the things we encounter between the womb and the grave
[03:37.06]And what we must do and what must be saved
[03:40.8]And how we must struggle and how things will be
[03:44.29001]When truth is revealed y'all and falsehood has died
[03:48.19]I wish I could stay far away far away
[03:51.58]When truth is revealed y'all and falsehood has died
[03:55.81]I wish I could stay far away far away
[03:58.99]How I wish I could stay far away far away
[04:02.58]How I wish I could stay far away far away
[04:06.3]How I wish I could stay far away far away
[04:09.84]From the witches and vampires that stalk me each day
[04:13.83]How I wish I could stay far away far away
[04:17.25]Far away from the hunter that makes me the prey
[04:20.95]How I wish I could stay far away far away
[04:24.62]Far away from the snare that they lay on the way
[04:28.2]How I wish I could stay far away far away
[04:31.96]For the soul is the prize in the game that they play
[04:35.39]For the soul is the prize in the game that they play
[04:39.19]For the soul is the prize in the game that they play
