The Great Escape

[Verse 1] I know that you don't know what it means to me I could never show you everything I think my dreams could be I have moved into a solid apartment from broken homehood I remember when I was hardly ever at home alone Could you come with me, cause I never want to do this all alone I would always cling to others, see it if you was my brother Probably not if you another, but they got me through the struggle To that light and through the tunnel Though my mother probably couldn't tell you where my brother is Probably couldn't either, but I'll always have some love for him Father trying to train himself to be a single mother, shit Be needless to say that my family was on some other shit Dad just told me keep your head up, always rise above this shit So that's what I did until I finally had enough of it Knew my father knew he spent enough time trying to run from it Hard to do it right when you never learn was loving is So I don't say I got out that childhood, I come from it [Sample hook] Bad day, looking for a way Home, looking for the great escape Gets in his car and drives away Far from all the things that we are Bad day, looking for a way Home, looking for the great escape Gets in his car and drives away Far from all the things that we are [Verse 2] Every time the future happens, you get some past to reflect on Running in the firefight with a mask and vest on Still be dodging bullets if it's the casket they bet on If I fall, I know my dreams'll be the last thing I set on I could've stopped - but I know because of passion I kept on I could've not - but I see more in this rappin' than weapons And following everyone else under the mass's impression So I make sure I've got a message and attack with incentive So I'm hoping when I give to the masses, they get it Instead of taking for granted, they start asking the questions 'Steada accepting what they're fed to grab the masses attention They told me hip hop was dead, watch the freshman class resurrect it You would think I was a painter with how graphic my text is Take an image, give it life - or leave it gasping and breathless Know it's obvious that fully in this rap I'm invested Whether I pay my respects and that shit gets scratched from the checklist [Hook Sample] Bad day, looking for a way Home, looking for the great escape Gets in his car and drives away Far from all the things that we are Bad day, looking for a way Home, looking for the great escape Gets in his car and drives away Far from all the things that we are
