Get Away
• Written by Sutherland
Sutherland's Notes
Wrote this last night after writer's block that lasted 2 months. Don't expect anything too intricate as it was wrote, recorded, mixed & mastered in 6 hours.
Sometimes I gotta get away - haven't wrote in a minute,
I been dealing with the stresses of life that go with it, I've been -
just going with the motions;
been zoning in & out of reality with the potent.
Lost my job, now I'm sitting on my ones with a pittance of the profit I was given;
this isn't how it's meant to be, allegedly my efforts in work were my own enemy.
So I tried to send a message;
it sent, it isn't pending, you just opened it & read it.
I thought that you would get it,
you've been known to do some venting, I just thought that you'd accept it
when I call on you for friendship.
Guess blood isn't as thick as it seems,
guess my family were figments that were living in dreams.
Facing tragedy I have to be the comfort to myself,
because nobody wants to talk when I'm the one who's wanting help.
I gotta get away - haven't wrote in a minute,
I been dealing with the stresses of life that go with it, I've been -
just going with the motions;
been zoning in & out of reality with the potent.
Lost my job, now I'm sitting on my ones with a pittance of the profit I was given;
this isn't how it's meant to be, allegedly my efforts in work were my own enemy.
So now I'm smoking with the shallowest breath;
seemingly floating through the valley of the shadow of death.
Still hoping my finale's not a cancerous mess
as I see the ghost of my Granny inside the back of my head.
Work ethic from my Mother, fuck a benefit slum;
if there's a job that's getting income I'm getting it done.
When breaking bread with my Brothers, I would settle for crumbs
sacrifice a lavish life to live dishevelled in slums.
If you're not a day one then you ain't getting a crumb,
cos when they think that they can gain from you, the messages come.
That's why I don't respond to anyone except maybe one,
and if that one doesn't want to I'll be left on my ones.
I gotta get away - haven't wrote in a minute,
I been dealing with the stresses of life that go with it, I've been -
just going with the motions;
been zoning in & out of reality with the potent.
Lost my job, now I'm sitting on my ones with a pittance of the profit I was given;
this isn't how it's meant to be, allegedly my efforts in work were my own enemy.
