You know things happen that you can't control
Sometimes leaving you to take da toll
And leaving you feeling like there's no control
Young, black, gifted we is on a roll
How do I escape the thoughts up in my mind
How do I escape how I feel inside
How can I escape my past and leave it behind
How do I, how do I
How do I escape the thoughts up in my mind
How do I escape how I feel inside
How can I escape my past and leave it behind
How do I, how do I
My brother died left me cold inside
I know dey see the pain up in my eyes
My homies snaked me, and I don't know why
Now I always keep a pole, by my side
Watch yo friends, more than yo enemies
Don't do no talkin, I just let dat trigga squeeze
I can't go like that, it's either them or me
Now I stand ten toes, f*ck the enemies
Spin da opp block like it's Mardi Gras
We gone watch em drop, watch dey body fall
2 hellcats, gun and a car
Imma shine naturally, kuz imma star
I keep a gun, don't nobody tempt me
I watch dese niggas cause I know dey envy
I lost my cousin, dat shit left me empty
If I cry den dese tears in a Bentley
How do I escape the thoughts up in my mind
How do I escape how I feel inside
How can I escape my past and leave it behind
How do I, how do I
How do I escape the thoughts up in my mind
How do I escape how I feel inside
How can I escape my past and leave it behind
How do I, how do I
Condoms on our glizzys these not Trojans
Pills for depression not ibuprofen
Leave her pussy wet it be soakin
WxrldWide nigga, I be totin
I get traded on, like DeRozan
Dese zazas from out west dey be potent
I need it all, feel like I'm chosen
And I'm from da trenches my heart broken
I take dese drugs when I don't feel alright
I lost it all but I still fight
On da block through dem rainy nights
First class while I take dem flights
How do I escape the thoughts up in my mind
How do I escape how I feel inside
How can I escape my past and leave it behind
How do I, how do I
How do I escape the thoughts up in my mind
How do I escape how I feel inside
How can I escape my past and leave it behind
How do I, how do I
