lyrics

ESCAPE:

Broke ass but I saved enough cash for our getaway
Ticket to a land faraway
Even if we get back and my bank run low
Least we had a break from the same old
You know I been tired for a minute
Fed up with the city,
Longing for the feeling of home
Get lost in a new place with me
I don’t want to do this alone
And I might glamourize these greener pastures
Know I’ll still confront my demons after
Ever happily but the sun is in our skin deep
We’re like mangoes, golden babe
Emotional labour, energy drained
We navigate shit that they threw in our way
The moon remembers how we held each other
Now I’m folding planes
About to take it higher

Ooooh
Escape, Escape, Escape, Escape
Yaaaa
Escape, Escape, Escape, Escape
Ooooh

I’m from the islands that won’t be silenced
Ancestor pilots, shoulders of giants
We landed here on native land
Your drum is beatin’, years like the sand
Can only stand here right beside you
A thousand maps and new escape routes
Ceremony inspires vision
This generation carves out a spaceship

(KHINGZ)
I'm so fuckin’ tired of all my fear
I'm so exhausted with don’t feel good enuf
Make clouds when skies are clear
Blow prayers to God and hope that they look at us
We hope for moments we don’t sip tears
Then we work to make ‘em that's just the hood in us
I'll fight forever young prince I swear
But know that war ain't the only good for us
All I really am is escaped from the matrix
All I really have is the strength that I bang with
But will it really last, will they ask, can we philly laff
While I'm feeling that, pill and half, life is is brillo pad
All the ills I feel will kill my ass gramps would kill to have
He can from field to Cadillac I can handle this
Just need space and my grandma kiss
So I can think strait let the planet spin
Mask a split in 2 perts (parts)
Truth hurts masochist
Manifest rest dammit man that's where my habit is
Understanding pain
If my livings in vain where them straps hummin
Coming at ya where the hammer clicks
Feel so good just to kicc it huh
But I cant hang if there no light
Wanna know who you can run too
Here’s a little secret look at both sides
You wanna feel electric we can both slide
But anywhere we go there our folks died
Swear I won’t say swear I won’t cry
Swear I won’t break swear I won’t hide
Say I won’t ride say I won’t ride
I say I ride my wave so clean loc I'm so tide
No chain no rope folk I don’t know tied
Local dope boy with his old mind

Oooo
Escape, Escape, Escape, Escape
Yaaaa
Escape, Escape, Escape, Escape
Oooo
