Escape
Ima make it out of this shit bitch
Ima make all of y'all sick bitch
My people still slaves
Y'all put us in graves
Being black in America
We gotta escape
Uh huh
Ima make it out of this shit bitch
Ima make all of y'all sick bitch
I ain't safe
Nobody gon save a black woman in America
I gotta escape
Uh huh
Kings and Queens where I came from
Society won't call the shots on what I become
Black, woman, dark-skinned and gay
I wasn't meant to be shit is what society say
Look
Never imagined life would be this hard, huh
Never imagined I'd make it this far, huh
All odds against me in this shit ass world
But I was destined for greatness, since a baby girl
Mom and daddy dead
Baby left alone scared
Go to school
Get a degree
Start a career is what they said yeah
I did it all
I followed directions
Just to be denied jobs cause of race and complexion
Confined to customer service jobs of a servant
To have your own place you need three times the rent
Dedicate your whole life just for minimum wage
They say you make too much for help
Then they ask you why you enraged
Look
But Ima make it out of this shit bitch
Ima make all of y'all sick bitch
My people still slaves
Y'all put us in graves
Being black in America
We gotta escape
Uh huh
Ima make it out of this shit bitch
Ima make all of y'all sick bitch
I ain't safe
Nobody gon save a black woman in America
I gotta escape
Uh huh
My ancestors built this shit
2023 and we still getting killed and shit
They trying to kill us off one way or another
Causing poverty
Niggas fighting & killing each other
Get your head out the gutter
Stop fighting sisters and brothers
When we need to be fighting these Uncle Sam motherfuckers
Poor in a recession
Causing us depression
Y'all know what that do inside
Now we contemplating suicide
Plenty of times I den thought about dying
Til I realized all they want is for us to stop trying
Yea
They want us all to be discouraged
Cuz they know what we can do when we all encouraged
My body being governed by some old white niggas
Say I should be murdered just cuz I don't like niggas
Taking away my rights
Trying to control what I like
Trying to dim my light
But I still take flight cuz
Ima make it out of this shit bitch
Ima make all of y'all sick bitch
My people still slaves
Y'all put us in graves
Being black in America
We gotta escape
Uh huh
Ima make it out of this shit bitch
Ima make all of y'all sick bitch
I ain't safe
Nobody gon save a black woman in America
I gotta escape
Uh huh
I gotta escape
I gotta escape
I don't know how much longer of this shit I can take
I don't know how much longer for a change I can wait
Ima make it out of this shit bitch
Ima make all of y'all sick bitch
My people still slaves
Y'all put us in graves
Being black in America
We gotta escape
Uh huh
Ima make it out of this shit bitch
Ima make all of y'all sick bitch
I ain't safe
Nobody gon save a black woman in America
I gotta escape
Uh huh
Ima make all of y'all sick bitch
