Lyrics
Escape
[Intro]
Snare drum pounds on the 2 and 4
All the party people, get on the floor
All the party people, get on the floor
Bass
[Chorus]
Glam slam
(Glam slam)
Escape!
Glam slam
Free your mind from this rat race
Glam slam
Escape!
[Verse 1]
Fifteen minutes ain't long enough
To be out your 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]
Glam slam
(Slammin')
Free your mind from this rat race
Glam slam
Escape!
[Verse 2]
You got to be yourself, you gotta be aware
'Cause the Gangster-man, he don't give a care
