Avery Harden - Escape The Hood Lyrics

Im from that v e g a s they tryna see me
If you step up you get pressed just like panini
Where they go to try to fill wishes just like a Genie
Everybody be all over the fences they Mr feenie
Not me cause I knew what I really wanted
Got Hopes of leaving the hood my plans all into motion
The Music was my escape I'm dodging all the commotion
Cant see what these people see theres no future being devoted
To a block that don't love you a street you dont own
You fight over a color dont see that you living wrong
Think you bad to the bone got yo glass a patron
Need respect for balling out like you Patrick Mahomes
I escaped the hood
I escaped the hood yes
I escaped the hood
I escaped the hood yes
Skate right through the hood while Im up on my vans
Kicking and Im pushing just to get me a chance
I escaped the hood
I escaped the hood yes
I escaped the hood
I escaped the hood yes
Skate right through the hood while Im up on my vans
Kicking and I'm pushing just to get me a chance
Grew up Round some crips they was trouble
Throwing up the gang you can't hang with the hustle
A boog called the plays see him quarterback the huddle
55 Thou of that wow in the duffle
We in the streets me and my bros watching
Hooping until the sun goes down man we was locked in
Feeling like Steph curry the way that he put my shot in
Stunting like James harden the way that he cook the pot in
Now they was plotting we observing the scheme
Running with all the jewels these dudes moving like kings
Swear it was like a movie the way they shooting the scene
Theyd bust bust til we duck duck goose like little teens
I Willy beam as I scramble out of harms way
Protect the kids cause while they dumping out in broad day
We hit the floor dodging fire like its Pompeii
And pray to God we dont end up like harambe
I escaped the hood
I escaped the hood yes
I escaped the hood
I escaped the hood yes
Skate right through the hood while Im up on my vans
Kicking and Im pushing just to get me a chance
I escaped the hood
I escaped the hood yes
I escaped the hood
I escaped the hood yes
Skate right through the hood while Im up on my vans
Kicking and Im pushing just to get me
I escape the hood right
I didn't want any part of it
My heart is sick see my brothers getting
Martyred quick
By Somebody that look like me that's just the start of it
The government sit back and laugh and that's the hardest bit
Whats the point in repping sets is it necessary
Beyond scary saw my first strap in the library
They eyes are blurry pass the trait down hereditary
They paint this life for the kids like it's Pictionary
I know the pressures of the hood is weighing on your shoulders
You getting older need a booster when you feeling lower
Im just here to show the game of lifes a roller coaster
You the owner take the lead and
Pick up your own controller
I escaped the hood
I escaped the hood yes
I escaped the hood
I escaped the hood yes
Skate right through the hood while I'm up on my vans
Kicking and I'm pushing just to get me a chance
I escaped the hood
I escaped the hood yes
I escaped the hood
I escaped the hood yes
Skate right through the hood while I'm up on my vans
Kicking and I'm pushing just to get me a chance
