Escape |
Check the verse in the Bible says man shall never covet |
But in your life you put nothing above it, you seem to love it |
Invest some stock to clock what’s in my stable |
Sweating me like Cain sweating Abel, you’re unstable |
You couldn’t speak, now what’s the fake smile for? |
The jealousy, that’s why you’re feeling so insecure |
Used to be by my side but now all I see is pride |
On the quest for big lucci, got you open wide |
It feels funny, cause it never used to be that way |
Remember PR back in the day? |
Hey, the number’s changed and the crib’s a little fatter |
But if you was real, you’d see it really wouldn’t matter |
Check the stat in fact yo, don’t ever try to peep this |
Don’t mistake my kindness for a weakness |
The name is Pete Rock, I’ll take you higher than the izm |
I’m on a exodus, Escapism |
Yo, check it out |
I like to rhyme, no time for silly head games |
Strictly known for busting up your bed frames |
But skins bold, act like they want to know a nigga |
Break they neck to show they figure |
But yo, you can’t gas me up, you can’t hype me |
Play it cool when it comes to schooling wifey |
On the ways of life it’s strife, checks, and big money |
So the next kid will be up on your honey |
Sexing your honey, flexing your Benz and your money |
Playing you like a crash test dummy, so take it from me |
Cause when it happens don’t say I never told you so |
Heed the verbal lessons in the flow |
And ayo, you know they style, and yeah I’m here to warn ya |
Getting shaky cause I’m coming up on ya |
It’s Pete Rock and C.L. |
Smooth on a major pape mission |
Rising to the top, Escapism |
I’m sitting back, I got the funk on cruise |
While you snooze Pete Rock is steady paying his dues |
Putting styles on lock and making beats by the bundle |
Scooping more props than Bryant Gumbel, and staying humble |
But then you go and have to act that way |
I just hit you off the other day! |
But this is sick, cause here you come with your crew of derelicts |
Talking about you need a pair of kicks, or this or that |
You hang around cause the pockets are fat |
But when I’m on «E"yo, you ain’t trying to check for me |
You got more game than rugby |
You’re only stressing the name and that the papes is flowing lovely |
So stop searching for idealism |
And check the off-beat flow of the Soul Brother with the realism |
Shedding some light just like a prism |
You can’t wait, you can’t fake it, Escapism |
