[Verse 1:]
Bipolar and afraid, I look around and I see..
(Whatchu see, whatchu see?)
A nightmare before my eyes, but unfortunately it’s reality..
(Tell em why)
I step outside and I take a ride in the street
As I’m steady ducking police cuz of what I see on TV
In my vehicle very vigilant, knowing I cannot plead
If they pull me over for wide right turns and not signaling
From a certain distance away - they killing me
You ain’t gotta be a blood… for them to make you bleed
You ain’t gotta be a crip to get crippled at the knee
Neo-Nazis wanna see a nigga stripped and on a tree
Donald Trump’s bitch ass probably happy as can be
Oh, please please America why?
Blood spilling til it make Lady Liberty cry
No one wanna speak out then imma be the bad guy
We desperately need a hero I look up to the sky
But I
[Pre-Chorus:]
Can't save the day (Can't save the day)
I got no cape (I got no cape)
So I Escape
Too much hate in this place (Too much hate in this place)
World in flames (World in flames)
So I Escape
Get the fuck out my face (Get the fuck out my face)
I need some space (I need some space)
So I Escape
Ain't no way I could stay (Ain't no way I could stay)
Must get away (Must get away)
Cuz I
[Chorus:]
Can't save the day (Can't save the day)
I got no cape (I got no cape)
So I Escape
Ain't no way I could stay (Ain't no way I could stay)
Must get away (Must get away)
So I Escape
Get the fuck out my face (Get the fuck out my face)
I need some space (I need some space)
So I Escape
Ain't no way I could stay (Ain't no way I could stay)
Must get away (Must get away)
So I
[Verse 2:]
East Side Dallas, it ain’t always pretty
Gotta keep ya guard up rolling thru the city
Life hitting me heavy now that I’m paying rent
Making money and wondering where the hell it went
Was it well spent, did I give back to the block?
Maybe imma pack a gat, start selling rocks
Rocking the same clothes and shit
I’m tryna rock stages, sell out shows and shit
Aye… But it’s bigger than me
Begging you to be bigger than the bigotry please
Last time I checked, this the land of the free?
Authorities getting checks and we paying the fee
Pain is the fee, believing we got freedom of speech
If we do let’s get our peach fuzz president impeached
No lie, new levels of racism getting reached
Wonder why, scratch my head as I look up to the sky
I
[Pre-Chorus:]
Can't save the day (Can't save the day)
I got no cape (I got no cape)
So I Escape
Too much hate in this place (Too much hate in this place)
World in flames (World in flames)
So I Escape
Get the fuck out my face (Get the fuck out my face)
I need some space (I need some space)
So I Escape
Ain't no way I could stay (Ain't no way I could stay)
Must get away (Must get away)
Cuz I
[Chorus (x2):]
Can't save the day (Can't save the day)
I got no cape (I got no cape)
So I Escape
Ain't no way I could stay (Ain't no way I could stay)
Must get away (Must get away)
So I Escape
Get the fuck out my face (Get the fuck out my face)
I need some space (I need some space)
So I Escape
Ain't no way I could stay (Ain't no way I could stay)
Must get away (Must get away)
