[Intro: Yungun]
I need to get away, man
Get away from this place
The stress, all this madness
To get a city break
Need a break from this city
[Verse 1]
I need to get a lot off my chest cuz' there's a lot on my mind
I've got a girlfriend stressing me for quality time
I've got bills and checks that have gotta be signed
And I'll probably find they all drop at one time
But I guess that's the city stress
The city's pitiless
The city gets me feeling chest pains from cigarettes
Mixed with skunk
And I can't quit the liquor yet
Always sippin' Beck's and whiskey's got me in a mess
Wickedness is all that I see around me
I might be a townie but I've got to 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
I wanna take some chicks up to the lake district
And go fly-fishing
Just YG, chilling with some live women
Laughin’ in life’s face and life grinnin'
[Chorus: Yungun]
Let me take you on a journey
So ride with me, vibe with me, spend a little time with me
City mentality got me swimmin' in stress
So come and take a break from the city with Ess'
Let me take you on a journey
So ride with me, vibe with me, spend a little time with me
City mentality got me swimmin' in stress
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 me family and friends a couple tickets to see me
Cuz' I miss 'em, believe me
But I wouldn’t miss my job
Miss the smog, traffic and the other things that piss me off
Like takin' the Tube or like
Gettin' no change for a note when I’m payin' for food
So, one day, I'mma move to where the booze is cheap
Where you don't get poisoned by the food you eat
To where you stop workin' the afternoon to sleep
I refuse to be another sheep in the flock
I got a higher purpose
I might find it writin’ verses
And if you don’t create nothin' 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: Yungun]
Let me take you on a journey
So ride with me, vibe with me, spend a little time with me
City mentality got me swimmin' in stress
So come and take a break from the city with Ess'
Let me take you on a journey
So ride with me, vibe with me, spend a little time with me
City mentality got me swimmin' in stress
So come and take a break from the city
[Verse 3]
You know why you'll always see YG with a pen?
Cuz' 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 want to do is be on my own
Cuz' I crave
Freedom to roam down the highways
And if I find a nice place, I might stay
I’m tryna 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
[Interlude: ?]
Follow my lead on a journey
[Chorus: Yungun]
Let me take you on a journey
So ride with me, vibe with me, spend a little time with me
City mentality got me swimmin' in stress
So come and take a break from the city with Ess'
Let me take you on a journey
So ride with me, vibe with me, spend a little time with me
City mentality got me swimmin' in stress
So come and take a break from the city
[Outro]
That's that, man
Packin' up my bags
And going
Peace
