[Verse 1]
I never wavered for a second
I was skipping class tryna learn a different lesson
Dipped into the city when no one was guessing
Round here they throw hands so no one carries a weapon
Shows up in the west end
Women who don't know me
They at open mics
Show em' the flow is holy
Getting a couple numbers
Asking if they could hold me
Thinking I'm next up
Pastel hair and Rollie's
I don't, I was young back then
Mom would sleep, I could breathe
Just having fun back then
I was meek, couldn't believe
I had no funds back then
After shows was light
But my heart weighed a ton back then

[Hook x2]
I need an escape
Cause I don't know if I can get through today
Don't wanna look at all the shit that I made
I need an escape

[Skit: William Haynes]
Look some people said some shit about you, what do you think?
And I was like, "BITCH, you think I give a fuck what's been god damn said about me, hah!"
I'm not really that person. That's me in my head
I like to exist differently in my head, up in my head I'm the shit
I'M 6 FOOT 3 IN MY HEAD!

[Outro]
What you all waiting for
This is young Raymond escape in my flows
I'm working hard I'm just saying who knows
Got these classes and beats but I chill on the low

You wouldn't know what this means to me
The places I've lived made a g in me
But I do not show it live secretly
Boy I've seen scenes where the junkies is scenery
Gone

I need an escape
