Prince – Escape lyrics

Escape

Snare drum pounds on the 2 and 4
All the party people get on the floor {x2}
Bass!

{crowd noise} {sampled throughout song}
Glam Slam - Escape! (Glam Slam)

Chorus:
Glam Slam - free yo' mind from this rat race
Glam Slam - Escape!

15 minutes ain't long enough
2 be out yo' mind in a world so tough
If you wanna escape and truly be
All the crack in Compton won't set you free
Come on

Chorus
(Slammin')

You got 2 be yourself, you got 2 be aware
Cuz the Gangster Man - hmm, he don't give a care (Don't care)
Whether you live or whether you die
Glam Slam Escape, gotta give it a try, come on (Ooh!)

Chorus
(Slammin')

(Party baby) {x8}
(Where did I hear that before?)

Glam Slam - Escape!
Everybody trippin' on the party bass
However high you get is a matter of taste (Party baby, party baby)
Winner takes all in the hardest race (Yes it does)
Don't get on the scale if you ain't got the weight
It's more hard 2 love than it is 2 hate
Say it!
It's more hard 2 love than it is 2 hate
Come on
It's more hard 2 love than it is 2 hate
Yeah
It's more hard 2 love than it is 2 hate
One more
More hard 2 love than it is 2 hate

Escape!
Glam Slam
Ow!

Chorus {fade out}
