Escape
J. Cain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lately I’ve been tryna runaway
Tryna find a different place to stay
Tell that I’m fine I’ll be okay
But it’s hard for me just to escape
Lately I’ve been tryna runaway
Tryna find a different place to stay
Tell that I’m fine I’ll be okay
But it’s hard for me just to escape
Running & Running & Running
They keep asking me questions I’m ducking
Say I’m okay they don’t know that I’m fronting
Smile on the gram let me show them I’m stunting
Yeah I don’t need nothing from you
Got it together like 702
I’m feeling blue but I don’t have clue
What do I do let me skip to my Lou
Why am I breathing so heavily
Why do my problems keep stressing me
They tell me to give to it God
Maybe this life just ain’t meant for me
That’s why they never accepted me
They tell me that Jesus was sent for me
No one has ever had love for me
Maybe that’s why I’m so empty
That’s why the drugs are so tempting
My life is close to an ending
Rolling and rolling and rolling
Im numb I’m broken
But nothing offends me
Let me stop kidding
If I had money
I thought I’d be winning
I’m just a low life I’m caught up in sinning
I just need Jesus to handle my business
Lately I’ve been tryna runaway
Tryna find a different place to stay
Tell that I’m fine I’ll be okay
But it’s hard for me just to escape
Lately I’ve been tryna runaway
Tryna find a different place to stay
Tell that I’m fine I’ll be okay
But it’s hard for me just to escape
Always ran away from my calling
But I didn’t where to go
Little did I know I was falling
Devil tryna take away my soul
Didn’t really know where I was going
Couldn’t find my way back home
But then I got filled with that anointing
Ain’t never been the same as before
Little did I know he always plan
do it on my own but I’m not a Superman
Switching up my flow I was tryna please the fans
Wasnt talking about God I was all about romance
But now I live for him
Stay away from sin
Afraid go to hard now I’m always going in
Hard in the paint cuz I’m always try win
123 yeah I’m going for the pin
Was running for the light work
And I really didn’t like church
But I knew I that it was my turn
Had to get closer was afraid that it would might burn
Might burn but had to get sparked up
I was staying in the back I was parked up
Put the key in car had to start up
And the spirit came and lit my heart up
Lately I’ve been tryna runaway
Tryna find a different place to stay
Tell that I’m fine I’ll be okay
But it’s hard for me just to escape
Lately I’ve been tryna runaway
Tryna find a different place to stay




Tell that I’m fine I’ll be okay
But it’s hard for me just to escape
