Escapism Lyrics

Escapism lyrics

[verse 1]

Is the groove good to you

Like when you lose your
thing

Forgetten grits is grocery

And eggs is poultry



Makin a livin against those makin a killin

Super blackman gotha
back

And is back in the building

If the prison is that skin you
in

And your cell sittin inside your skull

They say you cant
getaway

From ya damn self

When your earth is heaven

And your
world be hell

Check your head

Armageddons at the foot of your
bed



You aint heard a word i said

Forget them slacks



Im that throwback that

Threw that throwback

Back on the
racks

To get my mind back



O say can you see

I get back
its still just a black and white tv

In lyin color brother

Gots to
getaway to the other.



[verse 2]

Never was too good

Off
the top of my head



Cause i want yall to know

Exactly what i
said



This so called war in iraq

Over a thousand dead

Thats about

10 a week

Even as i speak



33% of black
males in jail

55% of black students will fail

85% of black folks
forgot

We were slaves

Up inside this box



America got
folks brains on lock

Forget the connects



Some wanna buy
whats next

Wear it like a sign up in that chest



Yall should
know papa dont take no mess



If you think your past is
irrelevant

Dont you know ol soul pays the gt damn rent

That messiah
aint never

Gonna come as long as



You thinkin freedom

Is
bein free to be dumb



[verse 3]

Soul is back

So flip
them hits back

Damn the fashion

I wanna know wheres the passion



Thinkin we came a long way baby



Sayin poor michaels
psycho

And prince hes crazy



But what has bob mick sir
paul

Done for you lately



How they maintain on your brain

Seems to escape me



Heard some ghetto cats

Dont like metal
rap



Hear it and fear it

And they think its wack



They dont even know that the blues is black

And when i rap is back to
the roots



Where i be at



Not some 30 year old who dont
know facts

Whos wild sayin things like some juvenile



Remember
2 million black folks in the penile

Got a world of whitefolks

Thinkin its style



Think im hatin cause you lack the
information

Cause we the fbi still gots on file
