Title: “Hideaway”
Produced by Punch Boi Boogie
Written by Buddhakai featuring: Bebe Victoria
Hide and run away when there’s no room for me to breathe
I hide and runaway coz it’s the only way that I escape, where other people relate
We hide and run away when there’s no room for me to breathe
I hide and runaway coz it’s the only way that I escape -
It’s the only way that I - could really be free.
Verse1
We’re all a victim to the same plague, classified as the “lower crowd”
Better to keep away and if you must, try to go around
That’s what they say, most the people who don’t know about
the life we may or may not save from going out
Most of us are sailors or fishermen with a boat that’s drowned
We used to sail the seven seas till the ocean drought
But they don’t see the glory underneath our broken hearts
Trying our best but in our breath, even hope was sharp
HOW DARE YOU JUDGE US like you’re a level above us –
The highest number of judges were liars who said they loved us
Our parents, family members who can’t even remember
The better efforts we made coz’ they paint negative pictures of doubt,
Worries and gossip, statistics of things before
That I’m punished forever more for a single time in the wrong
Yet you wonder why we stuck up for the “other” guy
Only coz’ we feel the same way when you’re coming by…
Hide and run away when there’s no room for me to breathe
I hide and runaway coz it’s the only way that I escape, where other people relate
We hide and run away when there’s no room for me to breathe
I hide and runaway coz it’s the only way that I escape -
It’s the only way that I - could really be free.
Verse2
In every you would say, we “just sleep and play,”
“Spend every day splurging hits” that we bleed to pay
For living life full of crime, “Mine’s the easy way!”
Right! Till we stumble in the sights of the D.E.A.
Dozens of S-W-A-T’s in a raid
Tempted to rat them out, FREEDOM seems like an even trade
Or your advantage when slapped with a hundred-g for bail
Some trade their honor for offers to walk from being jailed
The final ocean we drown in going beneath the waves,
Sometimes we feel WE AIN’T PART OF THE PEOPLE JESUS SAVES!
Losing our faith until we fall to our knees and pray!
But prayers turn into wishing I REST IN PEACE – TODAY!
Who of you wanna trade places with me
Since you claim you could simply walk away from addiction
Like I make this decision in the way of me picking…
“Better life” or the second, “fuck it up,” gimme this one!
Yeah okay, our intelligence could be used for improvements
If none of it’s implemented to conquer or help your ingnorance!
No wonder why we band together standing side to side
To build a fence that would protect me, whenever I…
Hide and run away when there’s no room for me to breathe
I hide and runaway coz it’s the only way that I escape, where other people relate
We hide and run away when there’s no room for me to breathe
I hide and runaway coz it’s the only way that I escape -
It’s the only way that I - could really be free.
Verse3
Now so many of my friends and associates,
Close-to, acquaintances are hopeless and desperate
Broke down or penniless, now the stakes be
double the amount of quadrupally up in J.C. (Jersey City)
How many of us ain’t around plus ain’t free
Dropped in a heavy guarded box just ten feet long
We’re down to just a few of us left,
Holding an ounce, small amounts only, due to the risk
Known all around, got it now, God, and you could be next
Smaller crowds, not a sound, kinda knew you a snitch!
Different clown, turn around, IT’S THE ONE YOU WERE WITH!
Not the one you disrespected, man, you used to be friends
It’s so sad. Just think and go back to when shit was so great
With (aluminum foil) trays that overflowed
Where you’d sit and hold back, couldn’t (take a) hit, you were smashed
All your friends, we all had (our own stash) leftovers would go trashed!
Now we’re scrimping a small bag, a few of us getting smoke
While the rest of us are getting rest, arrested or so broke!
Fucking left us with no hope we quote, the question why…
Yet the answers never come, run away and I hide...
