Going Away
(A.WILLIAMS: Nureau Ink Music Publishing SESAC)


I gotta tell the truth now...

sitting pretty in my room at the "W"
wrote an exit letter to the P.A.W.
they didn't see me switching lanes in they rearview
don't play me like a nutty buddy up in bellview

everybody getting tired of the same ole
all the promises and prophecies they getting old
you wanna make it happen, yo well it happen cap'n
stuck in your vortex I gotta get it cracking

I'm off limits: yep banished from assembly
when I spoke the truth you said that it was heresy
I ain't gone front the way you did it was embarrassing
I never asked to be molested and another thing:

I think the people need hear it from the horses mouth
not manipulated documents from down south
headquarters never got them dues quite right
mysogynistic temperments & disenchanted wives

I'm going away
I'm going away

same people same drama same concerts
same n*ggaz same clones same perverts
same fakes same phonies same extroverts
same saints strained overlooked and still hurt

same sermon same altar call & prayer line
same sick folks acting like they feel fine
same suit same hats & yo its looks good
but yo, I wonder underneath it do you feel good?

I ain't rufflin' no feathers I just keep it hood
Tell the truth and shame the devil hell, I wish I could
I told the truth and take a look at where it got me
excommunicated labeled with apostasy

My daddy raised about a half a million dollars for ya
But when he died his family couldn't get a dollar from ya
A lot of things ain't the same now in California
MacMurray R.I.P. I got the ark for ya

I'm going away
I'm going away

never thought that I would ever see the light of day
I never knew the folk I thought I knew would play games
contemplated is it worth it maybe I should stay
until I heard em cracking jokes at my mama's grave

closing deals in the lift of the Mausoleum
Don't you see her casket right behind you Douglas?, damn!
checkin voice mails looking at your polished nails
Hate to say it but I felt like saying go to hell

I'm thankful 4 my foundation but you're 2 faced
Never said it man to man and that's a disgrace
the irony: I was Introduced it by you
Now I'm the product of a double standard institute

homie bitter ain't the word that's an understatement
that's why I had to get away and take a vacation
double agents working hard up in the congregation
throwing up some str8 deuces in the train station

I'm going away
I'm going away
