I Gotta Getaway

I gotta getaway from Baltimore I got too many bad memories
and truthfully I don't care who's gonna miss me
Lord forgive me but I just love my
lil brother a couple homeboys, & my best friend
and because of that I want my life to end
I gotta getaway I'm dealing wit some emotional sorrow
so I'm living for the moment, forget tomorrow
it seems to me I just wanna erase my past
cause unfortunately someone to love me
is one thing I never thought I had
I'm leaving and nobody is gonna stop me from doing so
why call ya peoples family if they make you feel so low
I'd be better off on death row because
at least I'd be going home
I guess I'm leaving cause I need time alone 
I gotta leave for the fact I'm experiencing too much pain
after what I just went threw my life won't ever be the same
my mental mind frame is so messed up
that me just thinking bout it is having me ready to erupt
you can sympathize all you want but you can't feel what I feel
I was so loyal to these niggas I was always ready to kill
I don't know where this journey will lead
 just know all I ever wanted out of life was to be free
