Raphael Saadiq – Uptown lyrics
I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown
I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown
I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown
I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown

I'm leaving this town, I'm movin' out my bags today
I'm leaving this town, no matter what they tell me
'Cause selling dope would kill me
I'm leaving this town 'cause I gotta go

I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown
I'm packing my bags, baby
I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown
I'm leavin' this town

I'm leavin' this town 'cause I want no problems
I'm leavin' this town tomorrow night I'm all packed up
I'm leaving this town 'cause I gotta go, the Lord knows
I'm leaving this town to become a star, I'm goin' far

I'm leaving this town, I'm on my may
I'm leaving this town, I'm goin' to stay
I'm leaving this town for no one knows me better
And no ones gonna treat me like I do now

Watchin' I just hang around and watch my friends
Well, my friends I'm leaving this town
I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown
I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown

I'm packing my bags, baby
I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown
I got a one way ticket outta here
I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown

I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown
I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown
I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown
I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown

I'm leavin' this
I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown
I'm leavin' this
I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown

I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown
I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown
I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown
I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown

I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown
I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown
I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown
I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown
