Escape

[Verse 1] There's times I feel like dyin' There's times I feel I'm alive Sometimes I feel depressed Sometimes I feel I'm the prior Tryna keep my head up but lately I've been feelin' like a category 5 tornado hit It tore right through almost everything I never wanna love and disintegrated it Staring down at the pits of Hell I cry help but all that I can do is fall in it My whole world's upside down Why the fuck is no one comin' for help, I keep callin' it My life's a ball of shit How the fuck did this happen, I put my all in it But I can't call it quits No matter what the weather, I gotta stand tall in it Shit happens for a reason, but damn it I don't understand Right now I'd rather choose a piece of mind over a 100 grand But I gotta keep it movin' If I wanna be leavin this place and find somewhere to soothe in I really need an escape [Chorus] I gotta escape Got my back against the wall And the weight of the world on my shoulders As I get older, my heart keeps gettin' colder Every minute of the day is filled with struggle and strain I should be lovin' this game, instead I'm in trouble and pain (2x) I gotta escape [Verse 2] Sometimes I can't help but wonder why me Feelings sorry for myself Never got me anywhere but that's how I be Sometimes when shit ain't right All of this drama, it ain't nice Even if it kills me I never gave up So they can't sayd that the kid ain't fight I've been strugglin' all of my life And it's moldin' me into a stronger man But sometimes I just need a break And I wish I could take one on demand This starting to take us all, every day my body's achin' mo' Though I'm back, breakin' label, never slack, chasin' paper Gotta keep the bills paid so I'm makin' dough So I'm on the job every day And I'm feelin' with these disorderly folks Ever feel like you walking your life away Just so you can afford to be broke Got a couple ounce here, got a couple ounce there Make a little bit on the side But you can't flip too much for too long Cause people talk on the side And they all here try snitchin', motherfuck-ers can die smithin' Ear to the streets, yes I listen Stresses got my eye twitchin' So I really need to get my fixin', momentarily taken away I'ma take a few drinks and relax, so I won't be breakin' today [Chorus] [Verse 3] Sometimes I feel like I'm livin' in the cage Then when I get out, I'm trapped and amazed See, back in the days, got slapped in the face From my mama when I got at a line And I deserved it But nowadays life will slap the shit out of you for no purpose So I gotta learn up all the positive Out of the negative every time that shit happens But I know that when the odds are live And negative, the semi-automatics clappin' See when I hit 'em, put the magazine in 'em Will have the agony, send 'em on to the ground, in the dirt quick People are wicked so I'm packin' the semi in my jacket A plenty you can't imagine who to work with But I'd really rather have peacefulness or cease disease If you wanna beef for Chris I got a lethal gift, that I'm a beast to this You weak bitch, I'ma throw you in a deep abyss, then plead the 5th I gotta escape, need fresh air I gotta try to exhale the stress there So much pain in my heart that my chest bares Maybe I should try to have less care I've felt so much pain, but I've sustained and I've made it through it And I've seen so many get trapped in the negativity And they don't blew it I try to do the best I can With what I been given and I know I've been blessed But sometimes you need to escape Cause you gotta get away from the stress [Chorus]
