Hideaway
P.H.D. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Ruffled our feathers
When we tipped our hats to the dangers, yeah
Can we still be angels?
Dreaming in fables
You be the archetype
Make sure you throw that thing back to me
I'll shoot the shot just as long as the arc is right
My day was long as an Arkham night
People been driving me batshit
You pull me down, if I start a fight
Rilke might not let me finish one
Lolla was almost a hit and run
I was still whipping the '02
Thankfully, God let the engine run
I had to chill in the interim
Ready to go 'bout my way, now
Might just pop up in the Chi
Maybe head west to LA, now
Funny when you get the itch
That 9 to 5 thing 'bout a bitch
Maybe not meant to be rich
But I know that I'm meant to see more than this shit
How far will I get?
I know we seen brighter days
On the hunt for hideaways
When they sleep, I'm wide awake
Promise we gon find a way
Find a way, find a way
Promise we gon find a way
Find a way, find a way
Promise we gon find a way
Breathe in, if you still got it, life's short when you feel crowded
Hold me down, if I get wildin', hold me down, if I get, uh
Breathe in, if you still know me, death's long for the first OG
Y'all sittin' like it ain't closin', y'all just sittin', uh
It's a stray path under day's sun
Whole world chosen, pray that I never take one
At the wrong time, in my mind, the clay runs
Deep past the riverbeds, last bred 'till we won
Something that the ghosts shoulda never had
Between the coasts, so we never land
But we're broke, yoked and feelin' grand
So time it all, but if ball hard, then choosin' sand
Maybe next one will get us love
Y'all falling so hard and just because
I would never, ever let Jace finish one
So place your bets, but if brawl hard, then y'all become
Something like the worst of us: purse your lips, hold your fuss
Hold your tongue, hold 'em up, hold her close
(That's enough) I confess (that's enough) I'm the best
(That's enough) I confess (that's enough) I'm the best
Why you gotta be so easy?
You know I've never been, no, I've never been
Why it gotta be so hard?
You don't know my worth, you don't know my heart, you don't know my—
Everything feels so dreamy
That's enough, yo, that's enough, and I said
Can't you just play your part?
Just love me forever, then tear me apart, God
I know we seen brighter days
On the hunt for hideaways
When they sleep, I'm wide awake
Promise we gon find a way
Find a way, find a way
Promise we gon find a way
Find a way, find a way
Promise we gon find a way

You know what? YOU ARE A MARVEL !!! Thank you soooo much!! I've been waiting for nearly 30 years to hear this song again! Since, as you pointed out correctly, this is 7'' SINGLE ONLY. Never issued anywhere else. Thanks again for putting this up.
