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 u wanna escape and truly be
All the crack in compton won't set u free
Come on

Chorus
(Slammin')

U got 2 be yourself, u got 2 be aware
Cuz the gangster man - hmm, he don't give a care (don't care)
Whether u live or whether u 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 u 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 u 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!
