VERSE 1:
- I need to get a lot off my chest
- Cos there’s a lot on my mind
- I’ve got a girlfriend stressin’ me for quality time
- I’ve got bills and cheques that have gotta be signed
- And I’ll probably find they’ll all drop at one time
- But I guess that’s the city stress
- The city’s pitiless
- The city gets me feelin’ chest pains from cigarettes
- Mixed with skunk
- And I can’t quit the liquor yet
- Always sippin’ Becks and whisky’s got me in a mess
- Wickedness is all that I see around me
- I might be a townie but I’ve gotta escape
- And be still
- In green fields
- Dive to the bottom of lakes
- Or maybe climb to the top of some capes
- Because this wasn’t my fate
- Sometimes I hate this shit
- Wanna take some chicks up to the Lake District
- And go fly-fishin’
- Just YG chillin’ with some live women
- Laughin’ in life’s face
- And life’s grinnin’
CHORUS:
Let me take you on a jounrey - So ride with me
- Vibe with me
- Spend a little time with me
- So come and take a break from the city
VERSE 2:
- If I had a genie
- I wouldn’t wish for a car with a TV or pornstars
- In bras and bikinis
- I’d grab this magic carpet
- Nip off to Fiji
- Give my family and friends a couple tickets to see me
- ‘Cos I’d miss ‘em, believe me
- But I wouldn’t miss my job
- Miss the smog, traffic
- And other things that piss me off
- Like takin’ the Tube
- Or like getting’ no change for a note when I’m payin’ for food
- So one day I’m a move to where the booze is cheap
- Where you don’t get poisoned by the food that you eat
- To where you stop work in the afternoon to sleep
- I refuse to be another sheep in the flock
- I got a higher purpose
- I might find it writin’ verses
- ‘Cos if you don’t create nothin’
- Then your life is worthless
- They’re talkin’ from inside their hearses
- Dead souls who led lost lives
- And shallow graves won’t hide their curses
CHORUS
VERSE 3:- You know why you’ll always see YG with a pen?
- ‘Cos every time I pick it up I’m daydreamin’ again
- I sleepwalk into the park
- Fall asleep on a bench
- Keep talkin’ in the dark
- Even speakin’ in French
- And if you catch me in that mood
- Leave me alone
- Sometimes all I wanna do is be on my own
- Because I crave
- Freedom to roam
- Down a highway
- And if I find a nice place
- I might stay
- I’m tryin a find my way through life’s maze
- Problem is every 365 days
- My world turns round
- It’s funny how times change
- But I never look back
- Only forward or sideways
CHORUS
