[Chorus: JID]

Get away, get away, get away

I pray to God cause I’m afraid to die, and never been afraid

And baby if I die today, it’d probably make me more a man

I tell ‘em get away, get away, get away

Cause baby if I die today, it’d probably make me more a man


[Verse 1: JID]

Yeah uh

I like to see it through my mind’s eye

I couldn’t view it from the thoughts of a like mind

I like mine and likewise

Every atom or Adam and Eve that breathe matter

Chatter I seen most definitely like Yasiin

Long, dark roads we travel higher than high speed

Cut off them high beams

Baby I got weed

I ain’t gon’ kill us cause we in Heaven

Don’t look up, close your eyes when you jump

Use your mind when you flyin’

Dodgin’ ducks and duck

[Bridge: Mereba, 6LACK, Both]

If you stay

Then you choose Fate

I don’t want you to try

Cause I don’t want you to die

Like me, like me

Like me, like me, like me

Like me, like me

Like me, like me, like me

Like me, like me, like me

No, no, no, no


[Chorus: JID]

So get away, get away, get away

I pray to God cause I’m afraid to die, and never been afraid

And baby if I die today, it’d probably make me more a man

I tell ‘em get away, get away, get away

Cause baby if I die today, it’d probably make me more a man


[Verse 2: Mereba]

Good God, there are Angels flyin’ over head

But there are demons in my bed

And all of us will run out of time

But they say everything, everything will expire


[Chorus: JID]

So get away, get away, get away

I pray to God cause I’m afraid to die, and never been afraid

And baby if I die today, it’d probably make me more a man

I tell ‘em get away, get away, get away

Cause baby if I die today, it’d probably make me more a man


[Verse 3: PELL]

Right

I made a valid life

Bet I won’t live this shit

Yeah she a bitch, but her cousin have you in a ditch

Six feet deep, when I came on a bih

Couple past-due bills, check ain’t come in for a week

Would love to call my parents, but I’m on my own feet

And they run into them dollars even when the road steep

Look at me, complainin’ ‘bout shit that ain’t my problem

Half of them new mistakes came from strangers that I brought in

Be cautious of the weeds that you keep inside your garden

Cause the moment that you bloom

They gon’ block your shine with darkness

Shots that they took left a stain

But it’s burned a n**** rug and I’m vacuuming the carpet

I’m off it

Damn, I guess I flow the way off from the topic

Too hot for my enemies, but too low to be heavenly

I hope the Lord forgivin’ me

I seen a different life through these lines

I guess I blame it on the times, yeah


[Chorus: JID]

So get away, get away, get away

I pray to God cause I’m afraid to die, and never been afraid

And baby if I die today, it’d probably make me more a man

I tell ‘em get away, get away, get away

Cause baby if I die today, it’d probably make me more a man
