Getaway
Tom Orlando Lyrics

My pockets bled, Im filled with dred, My thoughts are death
I am struggling financially, burdened with worries and negative thoughts.

But chose to get my shit in check
Decided to take control of my situation and improve my circumstances.

Still I wake up for the grind
Despite the difficulties, I continue to work hard and persevere.

Cause I know that I can make it big
I have confidence in my ability to achieve great success.

Trynna make it til I getaway
Striving to reach a point in life where I can escape from my current struggles.

Been told my entire life that i was a failiure
Throughout my life, I have constantly been criticized and deemed unsuccessful.

Always compared to other family members
I am constantly measured against the achievements of my relatives.

Its like it wasnt enough to dream big or to follow my passion
Merely having big dreams and pursuing my passion was not deemed sufficient.

I always stood right out from the crowd and made my own venture
I chose to stand apart from the masses and embark on my own unique path.

I never listened to all the advice that was given just saying to go out and follow a path
I disregarded the advice urging me to conform and follow a conventional path.

I tried to make due of the situation that was given and fell right upon in my hands
I attempted to make the most out of the circumstances I was dealt with and took responsibility for my own fate.

And I keep on hearing the people I care about telling me that I should give up on rap
The individuals I care about constantly discourage me from pursuing a career in rap.

While I head out to college and get a diploma
In the meantime, I am attending college to acquire a degree.

For lawyers or doctors or anything other than that
Society pushes me towards professions like law or medicine, rather than pursuing my passion for rap.

Fuck that
I reject societal expectations and limitations.

I do what I want
I choose to follow my own desires and aspirations.

I been through hell
I have endured extreme hardships and challenges.

Through all of the traumatic that ive seen
Despite witnessing and experiencing significant trauma.

From lines on the desk
Referencing drug abuse and addiction.

To swat breaking in
Refers to encounters with law enforcement.

Life wasnt that easy
Life has been incredibly difficult and filled with obstacles.

But fuck if I could get a break
Frustratingly, I have not been able to catch a break or find any relief.

I travel to Paris and getaway
I envision traveling to Paris as a means of escape and rejuvenation.

Making a couple of mil in a day
Imagining the possibility of earning millions in a single day.

Performing for all of my fans know that Im reppin all til the end
Dedicating myself to performing for my loyal fans until the very end.

On air we up here in Ottawa willing to say we the best in the league
Confidently claiming that we are the best in the music industry, specifically in Ottawa.

I keep on learning this shit
Continuously striving to improve and master my craft.

Uppin my skill killin a track
Enhancing my skills and delivering impressive performances on tracks.

Thats the way Ill make it
This is my chosen path and the approach I believe will lead to success.

And know Ill catch my break
Confidently believing that I will eventually seize an opportunity for success.

You know I keep on fighting till I go out winning
I refuse to surrender and will continue to strive until I achieve victory.

Keep on getting knocked back down but still I get up til I finish this
Although I face setbacks and failures, I persistently rise and persevere until I accomplish my goals.

Dont really know how much more I can really take
I have reached a point of uncertainty and question how much more I can endure.

Until I fucking break but know Im keeping on my faith
Despite feeling on the verge of breaking, I maintain my faith and determination to push forward.

Lost a couple friends, My heart was broke, Im filled with debt
Experiencing the pain of losing friends, heartbreak, and financial burdens.

Dont really know how much more I can really take
Expressing uncertainty about one's ability to withstand further challenges.

Until I fucking break but know Im keeping on my faith
Despite feeling on the verge of breaking, one remains steadfast in their faith and determination.

Still I wake up for the grind
Continuing to wake up and work hard despite the difficulties.

Cause I know that I can make it big
Having a strong belief in one's ability to achieve significant success.

Trynna make it til I getaway
Striving to succeed and reach a point in life where one can escape from their current struggles.
