AHMAD JONES:
I got up and out of bed crying take it away/ Stress messin' wit' my head, God take it away/ A black man so the Feds wanna take me away/ Conspiracy / Whatever's said get ya taken away / Man why they hate us havin' bread? / Wanna take it away/ Don't wanna share it with us, scared we gon' take it away/ Get a little, get ahead then they take it away/ The ghetto hanging by a thread, but we making a way/ Come on, Tena

TENA JONES:
Haters would try ta take it away / don't wanna see us livin good / wanna take it away / get my momma out the hood/ for it take her away / chop game like it's wood/ cause it's paper to make / Pray to God / so I'm ready if he take me away / With Ahmad/ men steady tryna take me away / livin' is hard gettin' heavy on me take it away / ain't a game to me ya'll so I'm shakin' the fake

CHORUS:
Up, up, up and away / baby take me away from here run off together
Up, up and away / baby take me away from here won't come back ever

AHMAD JONES CHANT:
Dear Lord, take me away they plot'n trying to get me/ Take me away they lyin' they ain't wit' me God/ Take me away I'm in a twist dizzy/ Take me away, take me away / Take me away you put me here to do it God/ take me away you gotta see me through it God/ Take me away I don't know what I'm doin' God/ Take me away, take me away

TENA JONES:
Ran out of places I can run/ God take me away / at night prayin' 'til the Son come take me away / work while they have fun cause I'm breakin' away / and I ain't quitin' 'til I'm done can't take it away / we broke you doin' fine eat'n gravy and steak / I'm movin up and gettin' mine finna' make me a plate / I only got one life to live so I'm takin' it day by day 'til it's taken away

AHMAD JONES:
I been killin' mix tapes way before I heard 50/ Hollywood cats fake, streets stayed with me/ Say you want test MOD/ What? / Come get me! / I don't hesitate rhyme/ Buss mine quickly! / We in pain, in chains, insane, explains life in the black ghetto/ you don't wanna live what I live, give what I give, road that I'm on many souls won't go/ And I ain't got a bankroll as big as some but I'm straight though/ food on my plate yo/ gotta be thankful/ blessed with a great flow/ soon as the Jones clique blow we gon' ball like the ''Lake' Show''/ You love this when you press play/ bump what the press say/ fools know Ahmad be bussin' / I'm West Coast and they hate that/ young and I'm straight black/ y'all never gave me nothing! / I'ma take it away

CHORUS:
Up, up, up and away / baby take me away from here and let's go flyin'
Up, up and away / baby take me away from here feel like I'm dyin'

AHMAD JONES CHANT:
God, please take me away I'm running for my life now/ Take me away they jealous of my lifestyle/ Take me away need you to do it right now/ Take me away, take me away / Take me away you put me here to do it, God/ take me away you gotta see me through it, God/ Take me away I don't know what I'm doin', God/ Take me away, take me away

TENA JONES ADLIB:
Ohh, gotta go/ please take me away from here/ I don't wanna pack no bags I'm leaving on the next train out/ take me away
