Anywhere But Here - feat. Emily Panic

I gotta get out of here
The city's on the move
It could be anywhere
And anywhere but here
I wonder how long for this shit
Don't take me on

Movin' through New York City in a black seven-fifty like Batman
Movin' through Gotham
Dodgin' potholes as I gently move
Through Harlem with my wheels on slalom
Pain in my eyes as I'm passin' the place
Where they found Shondell and they shot him (queen)
Forty one times he committed no crime
But I guess life ain't times well

But in a city that's gritty where the bottom
Lives shitty and the mayor's a billionaire
You learn Manhattan keep on makin' it
And Brooklyn keep on taking it 'cause life just ain't that fair
For the kids in the park watchin' out for the narc
Want sour diesel in the air
Tryin' to flip them a pack stack up a couple racks
And make it the hell out of here New York

Let the city feel the way right from under you
There are too many ghosts in this town
I can hear them calling out to me (out to me-)
I can hear them calling out
Let the city peel away right in front of you
There are too many ghosts in this town
I can hear them calling out to me (out to me-)
I can hear them calling out

Let the city peel away
There are too many ghosts in this town
I can hear them calling out to me (calling out to me-)

I maneuver through the ATL in a black SL
With the goddess of a black female
This is black male heaven what the bottles are professin'
But to me home feels like hell
Even though it's black top from the mayor's to the cops
Black blood still gets spilled
They raided her house no drugs were ever found
But a black grandmother lay killed

Like the dream of the king when the sniper
Took his life on the balcony of Lorraine's Motel
From now forthward these young black boys
Seen to self-sabotage they selves
Or maybe they just smart and they choose to go hard
'Cause they know the good guy will fail
So you ask what happens to a dream
Deferred Langston well it kills itself, Atlanta

Let the city feel the way right from under you
There are too many ghosts in this town
I can hear them calling out to me (out to me-)
I can hear them calling out
Let the city peel away right in front of you
There are too many ghosts in this town
I can hear them calling out to me (out to me)
I can hear them calling out

Anywhere but here
Anywhere
Anywhere
Anywhere
Anywhere but here
Anywhere but here
I can hear 'em callin' now
