Nightmares I don't how I escaped
When everyone I know and love didn't make it out
Social media thinking I made it for the clout
Why would I make it up when there hasn't been a drought
Of tragedies, places I would rather be
Then being questioned in a state penitentiary
How a whole city just go missing
Take shots but they kept on missing
I'm a suspect
But only cause I lived
Imagine if I never woulda left my crib
I probably wouldn't be handcuffed to a chair
It really isn't fair
How I'm running for my life from a narrow escape
If I didn't take the shot I'd be sharing the fate
Of everybody that I used to know from the bottom
I think we got a bigger problem
No escaping from the bottom
Late nights early days
But I'm still not phased
No escaping from the bottom
Ain't much left to say
But imma find my way
No escaping from the bottom
Late nights early days
But I'm still not phased
No escaping from the bottom
Ain't much left to say
But imma find my way
So what you telling me is that you haven't seen nothing
You covered your tracks but now we still em coming
Attitudes given but gratitude expected
Asked for sanctuary but everyone rejected
I don't feel safe in my house I'm like mouse
Trapped in a maze and I'm getting out
But the minute that I tried then the bottom came alive
It's a system that the masses hardly ever realize
If I make it out then the city wanna kill me
Stay inside my city then it still wanna fill me
With hopes and aspirations that I make it out the bottom
I hear the voices whisper now they saying how they got em
I'm just a visitor I don't even live there
I made it out but at what cost this isn't fair
In the bottom that was no hallucination
You say this is a story straight from my imagination but it's not
No escaping from the bottom
Late nights early days
But I'm still not phased
No escaping from the bottom
Ain't much left to say
But imma find my way
No escaping from the bottom
Late nights early days
But I'm still not phased
No escaping from the bottom
Ain't much left to say
But imma find my way
You can run
You might even make it out alive
But I'll always be in the back of your mind
No escaping from the bottom
Late nights early days
But I'm still not phased
No escaping from the bottom
Ain't much left to say
But imma find my way
No escaping from the bottom
Late nights early days
But I'm still not phased
No escaping from the bottom
Ain't much left to say
But imma find my way
Nobody leaves
The bottom
