Verse One: A.G.
 Livin in the slums with the bums  the rats and the stray cats
 Dogs with the rabies  little babies are having babies
 Juveniles act wild
 Every footstep you take  on every corner there's a crack vial
 Pushers  dealers  crackheads are buying
 Now the dealer's in jail  all the crackheads are dying
 My man got AIDS  he was hit hard
 To get laid  he paid a crackhead for a five dollar quick job
 In the ghettoes this stuff you have to find
 A beer will relax my mind but I still pack my nine
 Cause I'm aware of all evil and devilishment
 Because I'm living in a rat like settlement
 Sometimes it's hard to manage
 I grab a forty take a sip and let the mental do the damage
 Yeah I'm woozy and my eyes are red
 But it's better than a uzi and a brotherman is dead
 See nine out of ten are black on black crimes
 Four out of nine were killed before their prime
 The other five wanted vengeance
 So now five out of five are doin a jail sentence
 Ask the Giant I've been through it
 So when I reach to the top, I say the ghetto made me do it
 And I know how to strive, huh
 Born and raised in the ghetto so you know I can survive

 Chorus:Runaway... runaway slave (8X in background)

 I gotta getaway, I gotta do it now
 or find a better way, so how that sound (both lines repeat 4X)

 Verse Two: A.G.

 Chapter two, of every black man's diary
 Drugs and diseases, put in our society
 Kill another brother and it's bravery
 Come on that's one step backwards into mental slavery
 Yeah you best believe that's reality
 You got black on black then there's police brutality
 Yeah it's bad but what makes it sad
 Is that I'm being harassed by a black man with a badge
 He's sellin out because he's two-faced
 But you only got one race, you only got a nigga's face
 He's sellin out because times is hard
 And old ladies are gettin robbed cause I can't find a job
 Fight to the top, and the other man'll drop
 and gettin treated like savages will stop
 You got the right plan, but goin about it the wrong way
 Divided is the long way united is the strong way
 Too many died for us to take a pause
 So let's all get ours, and stop tryin to get yours
 Walk a straight path, but it's so easy to stumble
 So weak minds crumble in the concrete jungle
 Get your chance to sell drugs, you don't pass up
 But a fast buck will wind up to be your last buck
 It's a damn shame, you're deaf dumb and blind
 Did it ever cross your mind, you're killin off your own kind
 And pretty soon even you will be a goner
 Easy access to guns, liquor stores on every corner
 Street knowledge is a must, you never learn enough
 You're physically rough, but mentally you gotta be tough
 We shall overcome with no doubt
 The runaway slave is sayin peace and I'm out

 Chorus

 I gotta getaway, I gotta do it now
 or find a better way, so how that sound (2X)

 "Let's runaway, let's escape" (7X
