[Verse 1]

Ever since I met ya
I can't beat tha pressure
It's like your man don't understand
All he does is stress ya
I can see your state of misery
from the introduction
Ain't nobody suckin' and touchin'
Just this harmless discussion
Maybe we can see a better way find a brighter day
Late night phone conversations
Would that be ok?
I don't wanna take up all your time being next in line
Tell me your size and let me find things with you in mind
I can see your cautious and I'm careful not ta scare ya
The anticipation of love makin' got ya shakin' when I'm standin' near ya
Use of precision will prepare ya
In case you get scared just ask the man in the mirror
Now the pictures gettin' clearer all he does is hit ya hard
I tell ya to leave him
And you tell me keep my faith in god
I don't understand I just wanna bring ya home
I wonder should I leave you alone and find a woman of my own
All the homies tell me that you don't deserve it
I contemplate
But in my heart I know you worth it
Tell me can u get away?

[Chorus]

Ebony. Can you get away? C'mon. Let's go.
Can you get away?

Can you get away?

So much pressure in the air
(I know, I know)
And I can't get away
(Just for a little while love)
I'm not happy here
(I know it's hard though)

Can you get away?

So much pressure in the air
(Lets go man, get up outta there)
(Can you get away)
And I can't get away
(Do you love him?  Do you love that man?)
I'm not happy here

[Verse 2]

Could it be my destiny to be lonely
And checkin' for these hoochies that be on me cause they phony
But with you it's different
I got no need to be suspicious
Cause I can tell, my life with you would be delicious
The way ya lick ya lips and shake ya hips got me addicted
I'm sittin' here hoping that we can find some way to kick it
Even though I got your digits gotta struggle to resist it
And slowly advance
And here's my chance not to miss it
You blow me kisses
When he ain't lookin now your hearts tookin'
My only wish is that you change your mind and he get shook
I wanna take you there but you scared to follow
Come see tomorrow
Hopin' I can take you through the pain and sorrow
Let you know I care
That someone's there for your struggle
Depend on me, when you have needs or there's trouble
I wanna give you happiness and maybe even more
I told you before
No time to waste
We can hook up at the store
Can you get away ?

[Chorus]
So much pressure in the air
(I know there is)
And I can't get away
(Yeah you can)
I'm not happy here
(You ain't happy)

Can you get away?

So much pressure in the air
(Got him beatin' on ya)
And I can't get away
(Punching you, throwing you around the house)
I'm not happy here

[Verse 3]

I feel like reminiscin' and I hope your listenin'
In the position of pressure and awkward competition
Me and you
Was meant to be my destiny
No longer lonely
Cause now it's all for you and me
All I can see
A happy home that's my fantasy
But my reality is problems with your man and me
What can I do?
Don't wanna lose you to this sucker
Cause if he touch ya
I got some drama for that busta
Don't wanna rush ya
But make your mind up fast
Nobody knows or who controls
Will it last?
Before I ask
I hope you see that I'm sincere
And even if you stay with him today I'm still here
I refuse to give up cause I believe in what we share
Your livin' in prison and what he's giving can't compare
Cause everything I feel for you I wanna let you know
Passion would be yours and I'll never let you go
Tell me can you get away ?

[Chorus]
So much pressure in the air
(Can you get away?)
And I can't get away
(Why?)
I'm not happy here
(Let me take you away)
(All I wanna know, can you get away?)

Can you get away?

So much pressure in the air
(Man)
And I can't get away
(Course you can get away)
I'm not happy here

[Tupac Speaking]

If you really wanted to get away, you could get away
You ain't got to go through all this drama and this stress
With this old half a man, you know what I'm sayin?
I ain't tryin to put you in a position where you gotta give up your lifestyle for everything to leave the man
He ain't even takin care of you
He beatin' on you and shit
Look how you look
Some motherfucker you are to be with that nigga, you know what I'm sayin?
Shake that sucker to the left let me show you what this life is really about
You know what I'm sayin
You need to be on first class
You need to be goin' to Hawaii and seeing the world and seeing what this world got to offer you
Not goin to, you know what I'm sayin, the emergency room and getting stitches cause this nigga done got jealous
Don't cry, it's all good

Shake that nigga
Get away

Can you take me from here
Can you take me from here

I'm unhappy here
And I need you to show me love
Because there's so much pressure now, oohh
And I need to get away, a hay
