Exile - The Great Escape lyrics

[Verse 1: Blu] Damn, lost in that cage they gave you Causing all that misbehavior Must've thought he was bigger than his 40 acres Ain't nobody big as that b**h, blasphemy Got a three day eviction paper Waking up them nosy neighbors He must've thought, he was bigger than his 40 acres But ain't nobody big as that b**h, blasphemy You ain't got no cash, don't ask for me Jack I don't wear shackles on me Heard these people have been shouting for freedom See, we can be free but still picked on Got an Uzi and it weighs a ton One bullet still aimed at the sun Who gives a f** if he raises his gun It's all "Run Forrest, run Forrest" [Hook: Blu] Yeah, because there ain't no sunshine Don't even get up, you ain't gon' step I'm goin' [Verse 2: Homeboy Sandman] Exodus, exit us The mess was an excess of Much, for what's a tough get going when the going get tough And the rush for the ruts get, rushed They picked the weakest of the pack so we packing More than a weekend 'fore we get back The clock is only one way tickin' Y'all tripping 'less y'all dipping on a one-way ticket You can't take it back The road to atonement made like a Rolling Stone painted black They paint it black too on the face though Journey of a million miles powered by the power of Grayskull What are you waiting for? Line up for the high speed chase by a race For a race of the grateful Stay and you get what you pay for You get what you prayed for, eight-fold I'm out [Interlude: Samples] "Celebrate my escape" "You better watch out" "Celebrate my escape" "Don't try to walk, walk" You better" "Run, run" "You better" "Watch out" "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls Oppressed and the oppressors We will be down no more I bring you, the greatest game" [Verse 3: ADAD] Wait, can you take a vacation from struggling everyday through the hurt and humiliation Of muddling through the ma** of these everyday irritations And get sh** and getting spit on, hate on your occupation? The system's super shady and shackles your aspirations Cultivating critical cracks and destiny's destinations You're tired of being touched by these trivial tribulations You just want the humbug unplugged, so why you waitin'? You could call into reality, reserve a reservation Catch a cab into the cosmos' coast, evacuated Break the mirrors, toke the smoke, don't choke, inhalation Just when hope was getting low, don't cope, ventilate it Take your troubles and then let them blow outdo' And maybe lace it, place it in faces With critical cases who tastin' and spacin' The fragrance they eagerly faded, wasted then elevated New dreams in their blue bloodstream, marinated Cause reality is too obscene, you have to hate it So we looking for a brand new thing, we validate it Where the love can only reign supreme We hope you make it rocking bells until the freedom rings We liberated at last [Hook: Blu]
