Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Escape
Gotta make it through the night before you see the day
Focus on the light that's there to lead the way
I had many doubts I'm glad I chose to stay
Knew I'd get right And learn from my mistakes
Had to reinvent myself I Changed my name
On the phone with Nash the birth of 2am
Out the limelight But still in the game
Different route The destination still the same
[Verse 2]
Cause Music help me get away
The place I go when I need to run but can't escape
The melodies are really what has kept me sane
Writing bout it helped me deal with all the pain
[Verse 3]
Now I ain't bothered if she gone or here to stay
Fully in my bag I finally found my lane
There really ain't no limit homie - just Look at Elaine
Hard not to be inspired - watched her demonstrate
That if you let really good enough then it'll resonate
There really isn't any market you can't penetrate
Problem is when you're still coming up
And you ain't blowing up
Man it's hard to see past the hate
[Verse 4]
Focused on the journey
Living in the moment
I been sippin slowly
Vision gettin blurry
Only God can judge me
I don't need a jury
Fears I'm getting over
Dreams are getting closer
[Verse 5]
Cause Music help me get away
The place I go when I need to run but can't escape
The melodies are really what has kept me sane
Writing bout it helped me deal with all the pain
[Verse 6]
Most these other **** prolly can't relate
Thinking back on all the nights I almost sealed my fate
Certain that I wouldn't make it past a certain age
Prolly why on every birthday gotta celebrate
[Verse 7]
I really got see another day
And another year
You know how that saying go
You appreciate it more when it was almost lost
How I feel about my life I almost paid the cost
Of self medication
And getting tired of waiting
For luck to turn around was running patience
But my mom always said
It will make sense in the end
If it don't - don't lose your hope
[Verse 8]
Cause Music help me get away
The place I go when I need to run but can't escape
The melodies are really what has kept me sane
Writing bout it helped me deal with all the pain
[Verse 9]
I got a gift and I've always known
On my grind I been in my zone
Took some time but on the road
I gotta shine gotta let me know
[Verse 10]
Music help me get away
The place I go when I need to run but can't escape
The melodies are really what has kept me sane
Writing bout it helped me deal with all the pain
[Verse 11]
Give it all I got
Ready for some action I been feelin hot
Watch em gain some traction but they're sure to drop
No financial backing look how far we got
Never catch us lacking quality on lock
Many **** creeping praying that I flop
Got yo girl repeating all my latest bops
But she couldn't tweet me cause you world would rock
[Verse 12]
Give it all I got
If you wanna meet me I'll be at the top
Heard you said we beefing you ain't in my thoughts
Ima keep on eating till I scrape the pot
FTL a team and we ain't finna stop
Touched a quarter milli this is just start
Bout to rack up more there's plenty in the vault
Gotta know your role so you can play part
[Verse 13]
Look into my eyes, I got no disguise
Heart is on sleeve feelings on the line
What I write is real every single rhyme
Know I gotta leave - happens every time
Hate it when I go - know you're getting tired
Money on my mind I been getting mine
I been on my grind I ain't got the the time
