Take Me Away

[Verse 1]
Yeah
Take me away, wherever my mind go
See how fast this car go and head out to Chicago
'Cause this place ain't meant for my music
Don't know why I do this, got me feelin' foolish
I know I got the talent and I know I got the drive
But college only helps those lookin' for nine-to-fives
Tell 'em I'm a rapper, they ask why the hell I'm here
Shit, I'm livin' in Wyoming tryna start a rap career
Gotta ask myself, yo, what the hell are you doing?
These cowboy boots and hats ain't gonna help with the movement
Damn, my plan need a little improvement
'Cause a mic inside my dorm room ain't gonna help me do shit

[Chorus]
Take me away
I need a change
I'll never get plays if I stay where I stay
On the road gettin' paid, that's where I belong
Prove it to my family I never was wrong

[Verse 2]
They don't believe it
The dream, they don't see it
They only lookin' to see what I get a degree in
What I measure up to from a letter on an assessment
I get thousands of plays but that ain't what they're impressed with
I'm all that's gonna save me and it drives me crazy
That my father won't get it 'til somebody finally pays me
He wants to see a check in hand
Doesn't understand the plan
You gotta give a lot before you start getting back from the fans

[Bridge]
Gonna be a lot of hard work
But at least, in this shit, I see worth
At first, I know this choice would cause hurt
But tell me, who changed the world by doing homework?

[Verse 3]
Don't get me wrong, I ain't dissin' on colleges
Dependin' on profession, direction may be the opposite
I'm just sayin' follow steps you must to live your dreams
And in my steps, it seems my classes ain't one of these
I gotta do what I gotta do, see who I gotta see
Take the steps I have to just to be what I gotta be
It seems crazy now but it's something you'll have to believe
When it's all said and done, I know that you'll be proud of me

[Outro]
Right now, I know it's hard to see
But someday
I know that you'll be proud of me
I know it
