Escape (I Need a Break)

[00:15.66] Escape, gotta get away
[00:23.43] I need a break, gotta get away
[00:31.93] a
[00:33.44] I left my house this morning on my way to work
[00:35.27] Some lady on the train spilled coffee on my shirt
[00:37.45] And people started laughing like the whole thing was funny
[00:39.69] I woulda went home except I need the money
[00:41.48] Cause times is hard, my boss is crazy, the guy that works with me he's so damn lazy
[00:45.93] Sits around all day drinks coffee and tea, he expects all the work to be done by me
[00:49.96] And sometimes I wonder what they hired me for, to operate computers or run to the store
[00:54.20] And when I ask for a raise, they tell me be patient, I've been working three years without a damn vacation
[00:58.57] Things could be better but they're gettin' worse, until I got this job I never used to curse
[01:02.68] well, Ive had it up to here with people treating me wrong, so why not tell the DJ to play my song
[01:08.41] Escape, gotta get away
[01:13.77] I need a break, gotta get away
[01:22.20] I buy a lottery ticket every chance I get
[01:25.75] And if I hit I got someplace my boss can kiss
[01:28.04] My friends are backstabbing so I hang out alone
[01:30.05] Think it's crazy on my job it's no better at home
[01:32.17] My girl's half-mad, she drives me wild
[01:34.37] All she ever cares about is rippin' the styles
[01:36.44] She wants diamonds, furs, and now she wants kids
[01:38.67] But what she needs is somewhere else to live
[01:40.57] My psychiatrist tells me to give her more time, but one more second might blow my mind
[01:44.78] The pressure's building up on me more and more, it's gotten so I'm doing things I've never done before
[01:49.03] I need a break, y'all, I can't take this place, I feel locked up and I wanna escape, and I wanna escape, and I wanna escape, escape, escape, escape, escape, escape! escape, escape
[01:57.53] So you wanna leave your job, but you need the funds
[02:25.08] Take a sick day off and find another one
[02:27.26] And if your girl or your man ain't treatin' you right
[02:29.42] Just the same but your headaches night after night
[02:31.67] Don't go crazy trying to please somebody else, you don't owe them a thing but you owe it yourself
[02:35.72] So do what you gotta in order to escape
[02:37.96] Take it from me it's never too late
[02:40.00] Cause I'm breaking these chains I may never come back
[02:42.17] Going to go out and give myself a rap attack
[02:44.13] And if I like it a lot I'm going to make it a double
[02:46.26] And if you stand in my way you're looking for trouble
[02:48.46] There's only one way for me to have peace
[02:50.61] And that's for me to go out and rock the beat, ha
[02:52.99] So turn it up, the highs, boost up the bass, come on everybody let's rock the place
[02:56.33] Gotta get away
[03:02.92] Escape, gotta get away
[03:11.87] I need a break
[03:16.62] Gotta get away
[03:20.83] Escape, gotta get away
[03:27.54] I need a break, gotta get away
[03:31.33]
