Ooh-ah
Hey Ross, sauce it up!
I said I pull up to the club when I'm too lit
I pray to god that I'm finna make it through this
I'm mixing syrup with this liquor till' I'm moving up, up, and away
Uh, until I'm moving far away
From the bullshit pain that you put me through tonight (Tonight)
I tell a bad bitch hey!
"From the money that I made, we gon' have a fun night, right?"
Yeah, we gonna have a fun night, right?
I remember you exploring in the nightlight
I remember putting lighters to the night sky goin' up, up, and away
I've been doing good, you've been doing great
For the past few months, I've been wasting my time away
Just tryna make my name right
But I don't really care if you're by my side
Saying I don't give a fuck about what you say
I've been mixing up lean with the D'usse (D'usse)
I got money on my mind, it's gonna be my demise
I said I pull up to the club when I'm too lit
I pray to god that I'm finna make it through this
I'm mixing syrup with this liquor until I'm movin' up, up, and away, uh
Uh, until I'm moving far away
From the bullshit pain that you put me through tonight (Tonight)
I tell a bad bitch hey!
"From the money that I made, we gon' have a fun night, right?"
Yeah, we gonna have a fun night, right?
I remember you exploring in the nightlight
I remember putting lighters to the night sky goin' up, up, and away
And away, ooh ooh
Yeah yeah
Ooh ooh
Yeah yeah
Ooh ooh
Yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah
Ooh-ah

Overall Meaning

The song "Away" by Project .44 is about trying to escape from the pain caused by a toxic relationship by indulging in alcohol and drugs. The singer raps about how he goes to the club when he's "too lit" and mixes syrup, a street name for codeine, with liquor until he's "moving up, up, and away" from the pain. He reminisces about the fun times he had with his partner in the past, but acknowledges that he's been wasting his time trying to make his name known while his relationship suffers. Finally, he asserts that he doesn't care about his partner's opinion and ends the song with the refrain, "Ooh-ah."


The lyrics reveal the inner turmoil of someone who is in a painful relationship and trying to cope with it through substance abuse. The singer is aware that he's using alcohol and codeine to escape his problems, but he's not willing to face them head-on. Ultimately, he's still trapped in the cycle of pain and pleasure that his relationship provides, and he knows that it's not a sustainable way of life.
