Escapism (Patchworks Boogaloo) - Metropolitan Jazz Affair

Is the groove good to you

Like when you lose your thing

Forgetten grits is grocery

And eggs is poultryMakin a livin against those makin a killin

Super blackman gotha back

And is back in the building

If the prison is that skin you in

And your cell sittin inside your skull

They say you can’t getaway

From ya damn self

When your earth is heaven

And your world be hell

Check your head

Armageddons at the foot of your bedYou ain’t heard a word i said

Forget them slacksIm that throwback that

Threw that throwback

Back on the racks

To get my mind backO say can you see

I get back its still just a black and white tv

In lyin color brother

Gots to getaway to the other.

Never was too good

Off the top of my headCause i want yall to know

Exactly what i saidThis so called war in iraq

Over a thousand dead

Thats about

10 a week

Even as i speak33% of black males in jail

55% of black students will fail

85% of black folks forgot

We were slaves

Up inside this boxAmerica got folks brains on lock

Forget the connectsSome wanna buy whats next

Wear it like a sign up in that chestYall should know papa dont take no messIf

you think your past is irrelevant

Dont you know ol soul pays the gt damn rent

That messiah ain’t never

Gonna come as long asYou thinkin freedom

Is bein free to be dumb

Soul is back

So flip them hits back

Damn the fashion

I wanna know wheres the passionThinkin we came a long way babySayin poor

michaels psycho

And prince hes crazyBut what has bob mick sir paul

Done for you latelyHow they maintain on your brain

Seems to escape meHeard some ghetto cats

Dont like metal rapHear it and fear it

And they think its wackThey dont even know that the blues is black

And when i rap is back to the rootsWhere i be atNot some 30 year old who dont

know facts

Whos wild sayin things like some juvenileRemember 2 million black folks in the

penile

Got a world of whitefolks

Thinkin its styleThink im hatin cause you lack the information

Cause we the fbi still gots on file
