I Can Escape* Lyrics
[Part I]
[Verse]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh
I see your eyes, eyes fall
You don't wanna cry, you keep your eyes closed
I could be great, I'm on my way
If I wanna escape, I can escape, uh
Uh, uh, uh, uh
I could be great, I'm on my way
If I wanna escape, I can escape, uh
I could be great, I'm on my way
If I wanna escape, I can escape
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I see your eyes, I see your eyes fall
You don't wanna cry so you keep your eyes closed
I could be great, I'm on my way
If I wanna escape, I can escape
I could be great, I'm on my way
If I wanna escape, I can escape, uh
Comin' out fadin', turn off your gaze
I had an M5, headlights, I spotted the jakes
Race on a date, race and sedate
I know you lie, you just don't lie to my face
I keep it graceful
I-I can escape, uh, uh
Comin' out fadin', turn off your gaze
Had an M5, headlights, I spotted the jakes
Race on a date, race and sedate
I know you lie, you just don't lie to my face
I could be great
[Break]
How was that?
That was fire, cool, cool
Yeah
[Part II]
[Verse 1]
I saw your eyes, I saw your eyes fall
You don't wanna cry, so you kept your eyes closed
I could be great, I'm on my way
If I wanna escape, I can escape
Uh, we was on a date
I take you to Met, kisses outside your favorite
I don't like fried chicken, I don't want no Chick-fil-A
And I don't even rob, niggas, can't do that job through the day
Comin' out fake, turn off engage
I had the M5 when the headlights was spotted out the jakes
Race on a date, race and sedate
I know you lie to me, you just don't lie to my face
I keep it graceful, I'm grateful for it
You just want hate, y'all can get your for it
Y'all wanna fight? You ain't built for that, uh
That roll call, you can see my hands
Jaws gon' break, lip gon' bust, you like
I snuck up on me and ain't say nothin'

Bit until my tongue gushes, I couldn't say that
Huh, I ain't say nothin'
I ain't say nothin', uh, uh
I say nothin', mm, I say nothin'
What you dream for? Dream for, mm
[Verse 2]
Used to play tough with the cops, had ideas (Go, go)
Through the protests, hold me in spot, and I'll go
Black folk don't know what talkin' white mean, but still
Hold two open hands up in the sky, finger quotes
In my gang, the youth, my lames used to smell like Polo tees
Mazel tov toss him a bottle, like what Puff did to Steve
You can't tote your own weight, then what's this bullshit even 'bout?
Crystals on your lil' feet, that's all that dust protein
Scoop Tremaine from Calabasas in the grey sportscar
We used to cypher in Marc Jacobs, had the library card
That's got some appearance, silver spoons, the plastic knives and its forks
I was a dog, breathless, chasin' a car up the street
If I ever catch it, I'll panic, that's the flaw in me
Nothin' ain't glamorous about growin' up poor and I eat
Standin' on the balls of my feet, tryna pray before I sleep
[Chorus]
Go ahead red light, standing at the waterfront district
Now my head on a cushion
Like pink, I'm revvin', like green, I'm swimmin'
Someone like you, someone like me, ring finger, I'm sure I took it
Wrist like springs, natural springs, waterin' head, no cookie
Other than me, you and nobody else comin' between a [?] star
We got the camera on Monday
We made a movie on Tuesday, f*ck
[Verse 3]
We got to look, to look, we never seen stars, it looks so bright
Damn, I try to sleep, can't get a lot, made dreams bleed into days
