This is for me For me, For me, ME I needed you to see the real me I don't have glamour, no I don't have fame But I still hope you remember my name I made this shit for those that still believe I made this shit for those that say They're not taught to believe I don't want your money But sometimes I want it all Sometimes I just need somebody to vibe with That' all... Will you remember? Remember my story, please! I'll live forever thru your memories Please hear my soul If only one time... I just want you to take a peek in my mind Let's just explore, yes, let's explore more I'll keeps it real, this ain't like before I know it ain't easy to say where I been But you'd understand if you stay until the end XSCAPE (Xscape) From any thought outside my own I needed to XSCAPE To try and find my way back home Way back home Way back home Took me a while but I made it thru... With no help from asylums, pills or institutes Picture you on the edge of your wildest dreams but... Something holds you back when you take your highest leaps And that shit inspired me to not go into meltdown It's like I opened up the cage and let my mothafucking self out And now I belt out that Freedom lies inside you And there could never be a label that can define you Let me remind you that when you find you It'll realign you with who designed you I said, Let me remind you that when you find you It'll realign you with who designed you Put the shit behind you Climb til you find a higher you! Like, if you were a boss would you hire you? Let me remind you that when you find you It'll realign you with who designed you XSCAPE (Xscape) From everyone and every thing I needed to XSCAPE To a place where love is king I'm too emotional I can't get close to you Sometimes I go, go thru my days Without knowing what to do I don't wanna sound insane But I don't always sound so sane When I speak my mind, they show restraint I can't help it, shit just ain't the same I wish you knew! I wish you knew! I wish you knew! I wish you knew! When I got what I needed... I felt unworthy When I got what I wanted... It wasn't enough Loneliness Is now a friend of mine I wish you knew! I held my silence I played my part Built these walls around my heart I've got my issues But so do you girl Still I wish you knew! Ohh baby, ohh baby Ohh baby, ohh baby Yeah baby I wish you knew! All I get is questions like Hmmm... what you saying? What are you escaping? What ain't you got lot of plays, n***a What's with the delays, man? It seems like everybody just grew a little impatient Honestly the truth is I can't blame them I know I don't owe anybody no explanations But I think it's the perfect time for me to try and face them I do it for my fans cuz I know that they've been patient I had to find myself so I could lead a generation last couple years I've been caged in Dealing with pressures that came with The success, the lust and the sex Plus the burden of stress and all my expectations It made me a mess, test my courage, my faith and desire Like the 2 - 3, I almost faded away and retired But instead I chose to escape in the quiet And I ain't tell a soul cuz ain't nobody gotta know That in the midst of my silence... I grew afraid to share my art with the globe! I just needed to get away... Cuz the sins of my father Always seem to have a way of catching up to me I guess them genes pass it up to me And I don't hate him but I'm grateful that he didn't have my custody Plus the pains of my mother put tears in my eyes She kept it a buck, that's why I'm never disguised And I ain't wanna carry that weight That's the reason why I had to escape Shit, I had patterns to break! And now I'm... Turning my back on every doubt that befriended me Cuz still I shine thru any cloud that they sending me Making the kind of music that resides in the inner me So when you ride, you can vibe to my energy I just imagine and believe in what it's gonna be And all these visions come to life right in front of me I ain't worried about no timing... Imma ride that wave like Poseidon! At first, the motive was selfish I did it cuz I could, I did it cuz I felt it But somewhere along the way while I was wandering astray And pondering if I would ever conquer, man, I contemplated ways To make the most out of the gift that's in my hands You see my peers were just kids, and they ain't understand So while they fantasized about money, women and lambos I dreamed about a life full of music and pianos And while others booked flights for a summer at the keys I spent day and nights of my summers by the keys And if i wasn't playing music, I was praying on my knees Cuz I wanted it so bad that I would die for this dream I've cried, loved, lost and I've lied for this dream But I strive until I arrive cuz I still believe that... I could achieve, man, I rise from beneath If they don't think that I'm the truth then they lie thru they teeth I do this for my kin cuz I wanna make them proud I do this for my KING, cuz of Him I'm well endowed I do this for my nephews and my nieces So when they dream, they could dream BIG And not excuse it with a weakness And I don't do this for credit, I do well with just a visa Plus I ain't afraid to fail because my refuge is in Jesus Please just, listen to my thesis! I know that my world gon' change from the moment I release this! I may be wide, but my soul's athletic... That's why everything I made has been copacetic The shit they playing on the radio is so pathetic I don't even listen in on this whole pandemic I only hear from those with soul and those that get it Those that know the role of music and those that bred it... Or those that show the globe that we won't develop Into folks that put their hopes in soulless endeavors! You have to XSCAPE! And that's the truth I thank you all for passing thru It's funny how all my journeys end up right here Back with you... Are you still here?
