Lyrics

[Raheem Jamal]:

too much pain, not enough gain
I need a new inspiration today
rainy days always seem the same
temporary, try not to complain
unlucky dark cloud above me
broke as a joke ain't a damn thing funny
God don't like ugly, might not love me
did a little dirt yo my track's still muddy
stressed out, leaky faucet
no signal, can't call it
past present future happening
time slipping, I want it back again
my stars thank heavens
this hell is my blessing
more questions than answers
mankind is Earth's cancer
pandora explorer
I dream of a place much purer
run, run away, escape horror
Will C. play the beat, breakout the chorus

[together]:

I gotta get away from this a better way
can exist find bliss and better days
cash the chips then risk whatever wage
skipping town right quick, I better break
out

break
out

I can't have it on my conscience that we're just sitting here doing nothing
we can't just sit here!

[Will C.]:

picture this, here's the setting
Simpson Ave in '06, a glimpse of getting
things in line, kid I'm young and blind
but not dumb enough to try
rap for living, wait in fact that isn't
accurate, erase that past, the mission
break your back, take back bad decisions
run until that past is missing
man listen, I lost my way for a second
ankle weights were laced in place of Weapons
angered face, an anchor, angst, aggression
computer age no trace of Desmond
I'm running up steps with excess energy
worldliness is heavenly
I try but in the end I blame myself, I'll never be
Edward Bloom in Spectre's memory
arrest development and move on
choose to ignore the omen and blues songs
you're grown and too strong, you're gonna bloom
dawn rose and the moon calm, roll off the futon
tip toe, "who's gone?"
before they ask the question
I'm past the last exit before the next thing
the weight off the shoulders, resting
I've never been so damn bold, a blessing

[together]:

I got away from this a better way
can exist find bliss and better days
cash the chips then risk whatever wage
skipping town right quick, I better break
out

ever been to New York?
sure, lots of times
yeah?
take me to the airport!
I've always wanted to see the wheels come down
from all those places
shut up, will ya?
shut up
