The Great Escape

The harder time gets, the faster it moves The more that you make, the more you may lose So mark the question with clues, while others give up and lose It's deep sea divers' life, it's swimmin', gamblin', poolin' Weather, it's climate changin' from the harsh to the smooth So typical of situations that's affectin' your views You give it all, I see you, I'm with it Hit the prison wall, sittin' off alone in your dorm Cause you've been written off about the same time My rocket shoes were lifted off, can't fathom what you drippin' off cnd to my place, I'm dippin' off out to find a common ground I learned to bow and sound, most people I don't trust Names I can run them down, sometimes I stick with my close friends cnd family cuz, they understand, respect the man in which I am and was Remember in the mushroom buzz We're sinkin' full because we driftin' back to places where there was only love I know that you never think like me cnd my view of this world is gettin' harder to see We escape from pain through maturity There's no more way to be free Yo, I'm from a small place, but got a big mind I got a girl now, another test of time I can't forsake my game, I'm a man of my word I'm the best shit in my conscience, it's a fuckin' rhyme Some things will never change, but we all change our mind You chose to stick with this line, profits, I'm cool with that I kinda felt this when you said that you were through with rap For me, this ain't a phase, for you it was a maze Findin' self in God, hip-hop, it brought out many wicked ways From druggin' self and brothers, abusin' self and mother To makin' her who was your wife become a distant lover I said it killed Derek, hip-hop it hurt to hear it I put a maringade that helped me heal my broken spirit With an ironic twist, I brought myself to write a lyric It's only bad if we don't have control of who will stare at it Cherish the moment only, cause we are not the same I love my brother, even if our last names are not the same I know that you never think like me cnd my view of this world is just gettin' hard To keep my voice clear, keep my words, keep my dianes You've got to know that I love my brother Thank you for watching, and I'll talk to ya later I'm on the verge of doing another rap song cnd I know that I'm not the same I love my brother, keep my last names are not the same cnd I'm on the verge of doing another rap song Keep my last names are not the same Who will stare at, cherish the moment only Cause we are not the same, I love my brother Even if our last names are not the same I know that you never think like me cnd my view of this world is getting harder to see We escape from pain to maturity There's no, no way to be free We will make us higher, that's how we used to think Sit, drink, and write until the pen is running out of ink Like Zelda we can link, into a distant past c lot of gases drunk, a power belly's full of cash You dream of cfrica, I see the stage in crowds You think to pack it up, think to similar in style You say I'm 5T high, I say my prayers how Through poetry and luck of league I put the beat in cow I know our world is wrong, but I think I can meet your child cnd through this music, I always made my mother smile I know what moves we make, and many votes we take Canoeing, crossing lakes, like eating wild grapes The time will end, we'll take what probably never recreate We'll take on different forms, and take on different shapes This is the great escape, I thought that I would holler While a young man just the world's future fathers Hey Kyle, what's up?
