Escape

(album: We Are Nothing - 2011)

We're tryin to escape
Leave the shade and find the sunshine baby
Lemme light the way
Way from here

I said no way
This bridge can hold our weight
So let me light the way
Away from here

Now i'ma tell you like who told me
If cash rules everything around I'll leave
And I'm not saying that our people shouldn't buy shit
I'm just saying' that our country didn't bat an eyelid when
America's got blood on its hands
And we scramble going Rambo to accumulate land
And leaders sitting' down when were asking' them to stand
It doesn't really seem like the rights in command
So I been thinking' of a master plan
Cuz most of us would rather get a cash advance
Than meet the people that are different
Just to shake some hands, man
All we gotta do is give it a chance
I guess if it was all that easy
We wouldn't break treaties, we wouldn't even need these
Yeah, somebody teach the world these lyrics
So maybe one day then were all gunna hear it

We're tryin to escape
Leave the shade and find the sunshine baby
Lemme light the way
Way from here

I said no way
This bridge can hold our weight
So let me light the way
Away from here

And oh oh oh
I guess its how it's supposed to be
But there's more to being green than just roasting' trees
Sometimes I'm blinded by what's in between the stems and seeds
That's why I've learned to live my life without a need for weed, yeah
That's my Microsoft word to your mother
Why can't we just live and enjoy each other?
Cuz either way you look up at the world that we cover
We all end up being sisters and brothers, and man
I'm in a beautiful position
That's why I'm asking you to encourage some ambition
Chalk it all up, or this talk is all bluff
I'm starting from the ground 'til I build it all up
Yeah and can you learn from me
And I promise I will learn from thee
I'm gunna teach the world these lyrics
And one day we're all gunna hear it...like

We're tryin to escape
Leave the shade and find the sunshine baby
Lemme light the way
Way from here

I said no way
This bridge can hold our weight
So let me light the way
Away from here
