The Escape

Lyrics

If my people starvin'
Then I gotta steal
I get 'em the meals
Yeah you know the deal
I'm keepin' it real
Just keepin' a stack
We was broke back then but never been back
I can't be the broke man
Guess I gotta go and be the dope man

Hey
Tell em that nobodies safe
Gotta put food on the plates
Right now Im taking the safe
Whoa, wait
Ive just been doing the race
I just been catching the cases
And its already too late
People say he diabolical
Right now I feeling unstoppable
Learn to avoid all the obstacles
Block lt get hotter then tropical
Hey do what it takes we takin it too
Yeah break-in the bank breakin' the rules

If my people starvin'
Then I gotta steal
I get on the meals
Yeah you know the deal
Im keepin' it real
Just keepin' a stack
We was broke back then but never been back

Started with nothing but look what we got
Came from a little it turn to a lot
I know some people pray my heart stop
They tryna to block but Im shooting my shot
I can't stop I just keep going
Higher and higher Im floating
Family first thats my culture
Raised by the lions surrounded by vultures

We was broke back then but never been back

Aye yea
'Member what the people said
Anything for the bread
In jail or dead
Triple shot to the head
Ain't believe in the kid
Never seen what I did
Now I'm pleadin'' the fifth
This ain't want we want
This how it gotta be
Round here people get turned to a ghost quick no halloween
No food so you gotta show teeth whenever it was time to eat
Whole family round me living good what I'm trying to see
They can't starve
Late nights on the boulevard
Had to go hard
Everybody trying to pull your car
Gotta be smart, gotta keep faith
Could’ve been gone, tryna be great

Can not be the broke man
Guess I gotta go and be the dope man
I cant be the broke man
Guess I gotta go and be the dope man
Can not be the broke man
Guess I gotta go and be the dope man
I can't be the broke man
I can't, I cant be the broke man
