My dad passed away when I was just teenager in high school But, my mind wasn't ready--Lying to myself like I'm cool I didn't miss class on his last day of livin' The only good thing was that my other problems seemed so distant Accept for my loneliness at the time, that I kept hidden I mean it took me this long just to express this in my lyrics So, I hope that could hear it, but I won't overstay your visit He was the first person I'd show my music to before you listened So in the following years of pain, although this may sound foolish I'd wake up in tears, from dreams where he would listen to my music He was smart, he would make mistakes, and yes he was imperfect In the months before he slept, I was just getting to know this person Just telling me his stories, about how he was raised As a boy in the hood--from local gangs he escaped A secret route he took home, on those dangerous days And how people were buggin' about how tall he was, but hey I really wish that he could hear what my music became I can't wait for him to meet my wife in paradise someday I can't wait for him to meet my wife in paradise someday I say that twice so I can picture it in my mind today No, I don't make music for you, I create to express The things I love, I hate, my passion, who I am, and what I stress I don't write corny raps, or gospel, or whatever Just a level 90 MC with skills that are clever But I escape by wandering from this world to the next A hero in every story-with the video games I trek I don't drink alcohol, I don't smoke weed at all But, I plug in my controller to escape all my flaws At Super Sonic speed, I run across oceans and walls I'm a Monster Hunter-In space, I battle Dark Falz Keyblade Master, reliving Disney movies that I saw When I was small-The Escapist is what I'm called I'm picking apart my mind because I be livin within a time I gotta be so defined, by the rhymes I write every line so tight And I might just fly like Michael's type when I write Precise I light the night like end of a tunnel I better be humble, because Fame is close, my days get cold, I pray for hope And I know they sleep but I lay that flow with the later codes I get when the sun isn't here anymore Words so deep I heal the poor they feel it more but still in war And so I wait to see the vacancy and make a leap of faith I give 'em what they need today It's common that I lead the way and alleviate the pain we face I need to make a better way and I seem to paint for better days And so I let it spray when I can then summon the Rain The days I elevate, it's like my pain just suddenly fades No runnin' away from the weight that's on my soul Will not wait to become old Just to learn from what I've done There's a purpose I've begun, and so I promise to make it real They talkin' about the rain and how it's came and gone away I know that life is short and so I pray for longer days I'm movin' with the moon and so I duplicate the waves I choose to take a page for releasing all my thoughts I give you all my secrets that be deep within my heart It's like But I escape by wandering from this world to the next A hero in every story-with the video games I trek I don't drink alcohol, I don't smoke weed at all But, I plug in my controller to escape all my flaws At Super Sonic speed, I run across oceans and walls I'm a Monster Hunter-In space, I battle Dark Falz Keyblade Master, reliving Disney movies that I saw When I was small-The Escapist is what I'm called Growing up as a kid they say that there will be rainy days That the sun is still shining even if it isn't touching your face But I couldn't help but feel that it was all talk and some no show When just two years back I was in the darkness fighting solo But who don't, feel a bit sad and depressed When they attempt to recollect all the times they have spent And honestly my life from the first person wasn't too bad But I guess it all started because I've never known my real dad Twenty-three years walking this crust above the rotting pizza A visa on my life the master cards that time deducts A reason, a just cause to blast the mic loudly Tow is it that "that man" could not speak to his family Astounding, on top of that I had problems with my peers Giving into temptations of the flesh and shedding years Off of my life with that binge drinking Thoughts that my soul was not truly thinking, I was sinking Into depression, heading down a dark lonely path In the back of my mind memories I threw into a cache Sitting in my room, playing music just to stay afloat My life was a disaster and no sign of hope's coast And then the women--the women--something that didn't Want to keep me living--in an instant, and I was Twisted Then finally someone reached out and noticed my sorrow So I was blessed to breathe the breath into this outro But I escape by wandering from this world to the next A hero in every story-with the video games I trek I don't drink alcohol, I don't smoke weed at all But, I plug in my controller to escape all my flaws At Super Sonic speed, I run across oceans and walls I'm a Monster Hunter-In space, I battle Dark Falz Keyblade Master, reliving Disney movies that I saw When I was small-The Escapist is what I'm called
