Escaping Youth Songtext
von Awon

We used to play out in the rain
Your mom was scolding us
She said that we were bad (she said that we were bad)
I thought I′d rather go alone
Who once till I was gone
Oh girl you look so sad


They know Awon from the microphone
I get loose (loose)
But they ain't know that Boochie said I had sunroof (roof)
Not on my coupe yo, I′m talking George Jefferson
My shit is thinning, diarrhea of my hairline
My barber give me mad effort Fam
Imaginary lines like the youngest child of mine
And I'm am from the durag era
Rocking 360 waves
Chicks used to say I look like Nas with a fade (fade)
Back in my younger days I used to hit Kunyri Kutz
Catch Rome and sit under blades
'Cause I was in the Hunger Games
Fresh Cuts will get you laid
Clean like listerine (yeah)
I had them brods chasing sausage hard
Jimmy Dean (yeah)
The kids call me sir

They don′t even know I rap
′Cause I'm in fresh Kicks
A white tee and a matching cap
It′s a midlife crisis that I still get a cut (hu hu)
Is it my hair or my youth that I can't give up?

We used to play out in the rain
Your mom was scolding us
She said that we were bad (she said that we were bad)
I thought I′d rather go alone
Who once till I was gone
Oh girl you look so sad


Early in the morning and when I see my face
I shampoo my beard and notice a couple grays (hu hu)
Is the fast life catching me or am I getting old (hu hu)
Sometimes I feel like my flesh is now speaking to my soul (soul)
I understand my purpose and as long as the earth twist
I'm here to tell the truth
′Til I'm underneath the surface on whatever medium
The antithesis of skinny jeans and shirts that's smedium
Awon ′bout as real as they come
Can′t even shop they blogger hog, they on some hype shit
The masses touch it
The streets don't trust it, that′s some life shit
I'm on to bigger things
Dot com is stressing me (ah)
The industry is full of lames on coke and ecstasy
Learned my lessons, never front
Vaporize I′m done with blunts
Even the sneaker game is weak
I ain't cop nothing in months
It′s a midlife crisis, that I still get a cut
Is it my hair or my youth
That I can't give up

We used to play out in the rain
Your mom was scolding us
She said that we were bad (she said that we were bad)
I thought I'd rather go alone
Who once till I was gone
Oh girl you look so sad

We used to play out in the rain
Your mom was scolding us
She said that we were bad (she said that we were bad)
I thought I′d rather go alone
Who once till I was gone
Oh girl...
