lyrics

Fly Away (Zoom)

I jus wanna get away
From all the struggle and the stress
Make it to a better place
That’s why I’m praying for the best
But preparing for the worst ‘cuz you never know
Here today but 2moro might be dead n’ gon’
So u gotta go n’ get it even when it’s tough
And can never entertain the thoughts of giving up…’cuz I really want
A new car, a new crib
A beautiful wife, a few kids
With a big front yard n’ a white picket fence
N’ a pool in the back and a closet full of kicks
N’ my mom n’ uncle ain’t gotta worry ‘bout shit
‘Cept kickin’ up their feet n’ where to plan the next trip
That’s the life I’m tryna live
‘Cause that’s the life I wanna live…but for now…

(I may be just a foolish dreamer, but I don’t care)
(Because I know my happiness is waiting out there somewhere)

N’ I’d like to fly away
So that’s why I’m trying to find a way

I jus wanna get away
From all the pushers and the politicians
So take me to a better place
Where the cops ain’t tryna kill us
N’ it’s no war n’ no famine, no pain
No killin’, no dying in vain
No injustice, no lies n’ no games
No depression, no clouds n’ no rain, this is all that I pray
N’ I kno I’m askin’ for a lot
But listen to what I gotta say
‘Cuz if u can make it thru the night
Know that it’s a brighter day
N’ I know it takes patients
But somethings gotta give
So you gotta get it how you live ‘til u livin’ how your really wanna live…but for now

(I may be just a foolish dreamer, but I don’t care)
(Because I know my happiness is waiting out there somewhere)

N’ I’d like to fly away
So that’s why I’m trying to find a way

about

Zachary Peterson Centreville, Virginia

Born and raised in the #DMV. Just a young man that loves to make music. All in all, my music is my bio.

I produce, engineer my own music, rap, and croon (for lack of better words, but I wouldn't call it singing) on occasion.
