Utopia
S.W.A.G. featuring Tyler Ace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Angela, hands above your head
do you hear me now, they are wishing you dead
Emotions stirring up, rumour has it you've got special powers
The firing's waiting now, Oh, they don't think that you've kept you vows

So Run for you life
if I were you I wouldn't stay another night
Run for your life
I'll pray to the Lord to make sure you'll be alright


Angela, you stand out from the crowd
You're no stranger now, you looked up when they ask you to look down
Listen up, no one can save you but yourself right now
It's time to run or take a bow
The system's gonna take you down, the system is gonna break you now
The system's gonna break you down
The system's gonna eat you alive so..

So Run for you life
if I were you I wouldn't stay another night
Run for your life
I'll pray to the Lord to make sure you'll be alright






Run for your life, time is running out now
You're dangerous when you don't want to bow
