Escape Route

(album: Friend Of The Family - 2022)

[Nyck Caution:]
Yeah, ayy
Check it
Ayy, check

Lately I've been thinking 'bout different escape routes
My mission is still clear, but way bigger stakes now
I didn't want a lot, but the way this shit shaped out
Turn me to a different man, I don't got no cape out
But I'm tryna save as many people I care about
Like what's the point of winning if your team not there around?
LeBron with the chase down
Uncle Drew shut the game down
Don't tell me 'bout no MVP
What's the-what's the price of fame if you live in a safe house
But can't show your face out?
All this fucking money in the world don't make you
I rather give you shit to relate to
'Cause when you breaking down you on the verge of a breakthrough
In 2018 I almost quit this whole rap shit
Now I understand why some people don't last long
I never lost my love for the music, but this industry abusive
We was just tryna chill and make rap songs, but
Shit ain't easy, word to Steezie, it was so misleading
Sometimes I feel you'd still be here if we ain't rubbed the genie
Be careful with your wishes, you don't know what happens next
And now you got it but you lost it, which one matters less?
Maybe I'm just different from the rest
But I've been around enough to know that people full of shit
I rather get it off my chest
These other dudes are neglecting, it's not my method
And here we go again
Going through some shit I said I'd never do again
They don't show you how to win
They just tell you not to lose
I'm just saying how it is
Yeah
