Great Escape

Get yo ass up it's time to get to living
It's happiness or misery it's really your decision
To bitch about your problems or give thanks for what you're given
Sometimes I feel depressed but I'm focused on my visions
Now I've risen
Tryna improve
Tryna make decisions
That'll benefit my life so it won't feel like such a prison
We make shit complicated
But really it isn't
Greedy as fuck never thankful for what we're given
Cuz we want more
No emotions we walk out the door
Said you were her everything but she don't know you anymore
Time for an upgrade the old one ain't gon' work no more
I'm tryna spread this love what's everyone hatin' for
If I could change the world I'd show it all I mean is good
I'm misunderstanding
Why I am so misunderstood
My passion's my burden but I wouldn't change it if I could
I pray for all my enemies I know my homeboy Jesus would

If you're struggling for peace
Or tryna make it in my these streets
Keep your head on a swivel so you don't encounter defeat
If your dwelling on mistakes
Or dealing with heartbreak
Positivity will lead you on to your great escape
If you're struggling for peace
Or tryna make it in my these streets
Keep your head on a swivel so you don't encounter defeat
If your dwelling on mistakes
Or dealing with heartbreak
Positivity will lead you on to your great escape

I know it's hard to be yourself as you should
Without the angle of being misunderstood
I try to fit in the shoes of society
Even though I wear size fifteens
What you supplying' me?
I shouldn't have to kick you in your head to jog your memory
About showing me respect
So we can all live in harmony
You have two arms and legs and a brain
And if you're missing some limbs
Then that's ok, mane
If you have no legs
Then lets roll and dip
And if you got no arms
Then let's kick it
When it comes to having fun
I beseech you
And if you're listening, this the only way I can reach you
Don't let society control you
I know the struggles of life may take a toll on you
Hate will have is arm around ya neck
Pretending to be ya friend
Persuading you to object
Causing you to lose the sense of yourself making a bad decision
And then you'll end up being misdirected into life's collisions
Take the time to be the Captain that they hook for
Love is what you have
Not something you look for

If you're struggling for peace
Or tryna make it in my these streets
Keep your head on a swivel so you don't encounter defeat
If your dwelling on mistakes
Or dealing with heartbreak
Positivity will lead you on to your great escape
If you're struggling for peace
Or tryna make it in my these streets
Keep your head on a swivel so you don't encounter defeat
If your dwelling on mistakes
Or dealing with heartbreak
Positivity will lead you on to your great escape
If you're struggling for peace
Or tryna make it in my these streets
Keep your head on a swivel so you don't encounter defeat
If your dwelling on mistakes
Or dealing with heartbreak
Positivity will lead you on to your great escape
