I wanna run away now
No matter what they say now
I wanna run away now
I won't keep my head down
No, no, no
They want me to stay low, they get in my way though
Treat me like clay, I don't even wanna play though
They know that I wanna fly, they say no
Wanna hear God, they don't even wanna pray though
Get up, get up, stand up, put your head on
The only way you're gonna live is if you're gonna get on
Let up, let up, stand up, put your head on
I'ma get the getaway, if you wanna go, get on
We don't gotta plan, we got all that we need
We ain't never gonna grow, if we eat what they feed
There's a world out there that we ain't never gonna see
If we stay in the walls, we'll never be free
If we never go, then we may never know
And if we never know, then we may never grow
And I don't wanna live that way
No, I don't wanna live that way
Live that way
So I just wanna run far away from here
I just wanna run so far from all my fear
If I run to you I know I will be near
I can feel your voice, it's closer than I hear
I wanna run away now
No matter what they say now
I wanna run away now
I won't keep my head down
No, no, no
Do I stay or do I go? I've been contemplating
I've been waiting for my soul to show up
But my mind has made it and I know now
That no matter what I gotta go now
I can't slow down, I can't wait for nobody to say go now
My heart getting real cold like snow now
I'm always gonna keep it close what I wrote down
Way back on the walls of my hometown, yeah
We all got a vision of life inside that we inner-wishing
Everybody pay attention, we gon' have an intermission
Listen, here's an intervention, we all got an inner mission
That we gotta solve or the vision goes missing
Like a mission on the moon, nobody gonna believe it
But if we gonna make a mark, you know we gotta achieve it
No matter if nobody never ever gonna believe it
But if we never go try, we'll never receive it
So I just wanna run far away from here
I just wanna run so far from all my fear
If I run to you I know I will be near
I can feel your voice, it's closer than I hear
I wanna run away now
No matter what they say now
I wanna run away now
I won't keep my head down
No, no, no
I will run away now
No matter what they say now
I won't keep my head down
No no
I won't keep my head down
No no no
Please don't keep your head down
Please don't keep your head down
Help yourself off the ground
I won't keep my head down
