I wish I could escape my death
I wish I could escape my death
I wish man
I wish I could escape my death
I wish I could escape my death
I wish
I wish
I wish
I wish I could escape my death
Make my pen bleed on my heart so the words they slowly engrave my chest
Fall to my knees in gratitude just to show my hard working mom respect
While selling my soul for bread so I could feed the hungry & drop dough in the projects
Give everything to a single mother who has nothing left
Drop a bible in the hands of a soul that's addicted to pain killers and meth
Give a second chance to my brothers & sisters who constantly living under massive regret
Taking Katrina back & have corporate crooks dancing on roofs begging poor people for checks
Giving the air, giving the air, giving the air, giving the air
Give the air in my lungs to a child grasping for their last breath
While clearing all the young enlightened minds of their massive educational debt
Drink out the white fountain in remembrance of the ones with ropes tied around their necks
Show some love and giving a hug to the Asian kid before he shot up Virginia tech
Give my leg to my sister, give my leg to my, give my leg, give my leg, give my leg
Give my leg to my sister so my sister can run & feel sweat
Switch gun and liquor stores for libraries so poor children can feel blessed
Teaching every kid in the hood poetry so they can escape & have the freedom to express
Leaving high class kids in the ghetto to show them money - money doesn't mean respect
Charge every accused priest as a child rape suspect
Become a father to every kid feeling the pain of parental neglect
Find a cure for the woman with cancer plaguing under her left breast
Change ignorance to intelligence just to relieve the racial stress
And I kiss and I tell, and I kiss my mom and tell, and kiss my mom and tell, kiss my mom
& kiss my mother and tell my sisters I love you...before they lay me down to rest

I wish I could escape my death
I wish I could escape my death, I wish I could escape my death
Make my pen bleed on my chest, fall to my knees to show respect
I wish I could escape my death, I wish I could escape my death
Make my pen bleed on my chest, fall to my knees to show respect
I wish I could escape my death, escape my death, I wish I could escape my death, my death
Make my pen bleed on my chest, make it bleed, fall to my knees to show respect
I wish I could escape my death, I wish I could escape my death
Make my pen bleed on my chest, fall to my knees to show respect
