[Verse 1: Chris B] On the South Side, Bronx was the borrough Gang life living, he be repping it thorrough 5 till he die, always down to ride If he ever seen a six, he was quick to pull the nine His mama on the rock, and she always be gone Seen his daddy twice, he ain't never coming home Failing out of school cause he think he's to cool Rather be flipping packs, making stacks, instead of learning something new But, he's getting tired of that same routine Every day, morning to night, it's that same old thing Questioning his reality, is there more than it seems? It seems as if someone sold him some lies & a fake dream Certainly time for change Easier said than done, there's so many things in the way And just when he was about to put his best foot foward His ex sent him a text and said she was pregnent with his daughter [Hook: Anthony Valor] Oooh Tear it to the ground Weighed down by the pain in my life If I could ride a gust of wind into the sky I would Fly Away I wanna fly away Far away to a better day If I could fly away [Verse 2: LJ] I got the text at 4, hit my man Snow, told him let's go I need smoke, bring a bag of red dro Read Jordans, Chicago Bulls fitted All red everything, red in my vision Mad at the world that I live in They ain't giving a smidgen, saying I'll either end up dead or prison At the stop light, Snow past the blunt and as I started to hit it I noticed 2 semi autos as they lifted and started spitting And ripping through the Cutla**es exterior Peircin' into Cartilage and the muscles interior I took 3 slugs and pulled my 45. , blood in my eyes Not even aimin' just banging praying I slay em It's ironic this pool of blood that I lay in Who's really claiming who in this game of hooligans flaggin'? I look up at Snow and he's fadin', his face is white as December And the sound of police sirens is the last thing I remember [Chorus: Anthony Valor] Oooh Tear it to the ground Weighed down by the pain in my life If I could ride a gust of wind into the sky I would Fly Away I wanna fly away Far away to a better day If I could fly away [Verse 3: Judah] The homie Snow died, He got sentanced to 5 Got him tatted on his chest, when he went inside Baby mama writes saying how she gon ride He writes her back and he says goodbye I don't want you to ride for me Never asked you to cry for me Wipe your tears away Don't throw your years away Can't you see that it'll be a waste But, she refuses to listen Years go by and she becomes a Christian Starts ministering to him at the visits He don't even recognize her like "Who is this?" Finally Gods mercy breaks his heart and he gives his 5 point crown as the blood lays it down before the blood covered crown king of love And so it goes as a story of war and peace A testimoy to the homies that's on the streets [Chorus: Anthony Valor] Oooh Tear it to the ground Weighed down by the pain in my life If I could ride a gust of wind into the sky I would Fly Away I wanna fly away Far away to a better day If I could fly away
