EscapeIt, PROlific and O.T. no gimmicks
Spittin' poems, that'll get the dome oh so lifted
Yo, O.T. get em' with that old-soul rhythm
Let's give em' a masterpiece about chasing the dreams within em'
- O.T. -
PROlific I'm wit' it, somethin' that they could vibe to
And at the same time, somethin' that we could rhyme to
About releasin' the feelins' that's inside you
And elevatin' the way we was designed to

Up is the only way out
And I'm so down for reachin' in the clouds
But, it seems now everyone's full of doubt
Only thing they care about is sleepin' safe and sound
But, if you asleep then that also means you dream so
While you asleep, don't ever let them dreams go
Wake up, and keep believin' in them dreams yo
Water that seed, sit back and watch that dream grow
- O.T. -
See my reality is not a dream
Well kinda sorta cause' I'm sorta livin' out a scene
That I seen before I even got the chance to be
Where I'm at because I saw like what's on the screen
I picture me at 23 with 2 degrees
A little money, a nice honey and sunny seas
A fast car and somewhere for me to speed
And bond money just in case I see them po-lice
Dreams defer like my wheels hit the curb
Tried to take a sharp left, I ain't make the right turn
In the middle of the night, had to let the oil burn
I'm just tryin' to handle business like I'm workin' for a firm
Sleepin' on me now, actin' like you ain't concerned
Knowin' that you really feel me and believe it's my turn
I'm glad I can be your nightmare, uh
Now let's dream til' we right there, come on
- Hook -
- PROlific -
Once again it's, PROlific I'm so PRO wit' it
So sick and gifted witness as I infect the present
Never runnin' from the past cause' the future's so flourescent
I flip the switch and it's lights out, you know I'm winnin' but,
Wasn't always like this in the beginnin'
All these writtens wouldn't have been nothin' without a vision
What's a vision if you ain't got the drive to get it in
And what's the drive if you ain't got them keys to the ignition
Real talk, too much of this life is spent STALLin'
Pluggin' away daily but never SOLVin' PROBlems
Idolizing those that be "BALLin' JORdan"
But then we too scared to go ALL in FALLin'
Victim to fears that keep us from layin' claim to
Destiny forcing us to remain the same
6 months ago I was dreamin' bout' bein' in the game
And I won't stop dreamin' til' everybody knows my name so....
