Escape

Aight, let me tell y'all a story
Late night, ride through the street
It's me and shorty, while bro steady clutchin' a 40

Huh, I saw him bang my line
I pick it up, might be important
I told him, bro, I'm prayin' for you
Just keep your head up and me posted

There ain't been one time
Where I had one a day without my sin
It been like two times
We had to cut the snakes up out the den

It been like three times
I tried to gain your love, but wouldn't win
It been like four times
I asked the Lord to pick me up again

It go like five times
That when I rushed the Lord and couldn't wait
They throwin' up the six
You walkin' in that life, you can't escape

It been like seven times
I beat the road when they gave me a date
And now the eighth time
I'm prayin' that the Lord make it okay

He think he slime
Why you think you slime for
I ain't gotta live that life lil bro
We straight like a ironing board
On the grind, know my eyes real tired and know my feet
Sore, but no we can't give up on this one
Cause he need more
Oh Lord, I need your guidance

Oh Lord, I need your presence
I gotta lean back on the Word
When them spirits get tested
Had to go back through the same trials

And learn my lesson
Don't focus on others
He look at your soul, that's in question

Aight, let me tell y'all a story
Late night, ride through the street
It's me and shorty, while bro steady clutchin' a 40

Huh, I saw him bang my line
I pick it up, might be important
I told him, bro, I'm prayin' for you
Just keep your head up and me posted

There ain't been one time
Where I had one a day without my sin
It been like two times
We had to cut the snakes up out the den

It been like three times
I tried to gain your love, but wouldn't win
It been like four times
I asked the Lord to pick me up again

It go like five times
That when I rushed the Lord and couldn't wait
They throwin' up the six
You walkin' in that life, you can't escape

It been like seven times
I beat the road when they gave me a date
And now the eighth time
I'm prayin' that the Lord make it okay
