Letra da Música Uptown de Raphael Saadiq

[Intro]
(Where you movin' to, man?)
Man, I'm movin' to, I don't care, Cleveland, Miami, Orlando
San Diego, Atlanta, anywhere but-yeah, you know
I'm movin', that's right, I'm outta here
Shit, I might even more to Portland

[Chorus]
I'm leavin' this town (I'm leavin' this town)
I'm goin' uptown
I'm leavin' this town (I'm leavin' this town)
I'm goin' uptown
I'm leavin' this town (I'm leavin' this town)
I'm goin' uptown
Uh-huh (I'm leavin' this town)
I'm goin' uptown

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
I'm leavin' this town (I'm leaving this town)
I'm goin' uptown
I'm packing my bags, baby
I'm leavin' this town (I'm leaving this town)
I'm goin' uptown
I'm leavin' this town (I'm leaving this...)

[Verse 2]
I'm leavin' this town 'cause I don't 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

[Bridge]
I'm leaving (I'm leaving) , I'm on my may, yeah
(I'm leaving) I'm leaving, I'm goin' to stay
I'm leaving this town for no one knows me better
And no one's gonna treat me like I do
Why should I just hang around and watch my friends
(My friends) My friends, my friends

[Outro Chorus: Raphael Saadiq (Leslie Wilson) ]
I'm leavin' this town (I'm leaving this town)
I'm goin' uptown
I'm leavin' this town (I'm leaving 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 going uptown, yeah)
I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown
(I got a one-way ticket, I did not get round-trip, I got a one-way ticket)
I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown
I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown
(I gotta leave here, right away, I gotta go)
I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown
(Standing on the corners ain't no good for me)
I'm leavin' this
(Standing on these corners is gonna kill me, I gotta go)
I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown
(Ain't no good for me no more, no no, no no)
I'm leavin' this
(The streets don't love me no more, no no no no)
I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown
(I've outgrown this life, yes I have, yeah yeah)
I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown
(I gotta go, I gotta leave, leave, leave)
I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown
(I gotta go, I gotta leave, leave, leave, do you hear me)
I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown
(I'm leaving town)
I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown
(I'm going uptown, I gotta leave here)
I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown
(Things I used to do I don't do no more, ah yeah)
I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown
(I'm leaving, I'm going uptown)
I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown
(I can't keep slanging, ah no, ah no)
I'm leavin' this town, I'm goin' uptown
