Escape-Ism (Pt. 1 & 2) Lyrics

I was talking to a cat the other night

He said what everybody's looking for today
They're looking for escapism

Ha, ha

Ain't it good to you?
You know what?
I love to get down, Jack
And when I get down, you understand
I don't have to go into no funny bag
Say I can't do this, I mean
Say what I wanna man, I can't, you understand?
That's the way I feel

You know I believe I get down right about here
But if I get down
You know, Buddy, Buddy, man, Buddy got a
Buddy got a, Buddy got a, I mean
Buddy got an out of sight tune coming up
We gotta record Buddy right here, you know
So we're trying to get our thing out the way before Buddy get into it

Buddy, can we get down before we
Is it alright?
Buddy, do you think it's gonna be a hit, Buddy, if you cut it?
(Oh yeah, it's gonna be a hit)
You think it's gonna be a hit?
Well, I know it's a smash, I know it's a smash
'Cause you in the thing, man, you know
What I'm saying, where it's at, you know
It's gotta be a hit
You ready, Buddy?

Get down!

Huh, ain't it good to you?
Ain't it good to you?

Ain't it good to you?

Ha ha ha, huh

Looka here, what you say, Fred?
(Man, you know we better take it on the lam)
You better watch the man

I don't like to hurt, what you say, Fred?
(I say we better take it on the lam)
Huh, you better watch the man

Bud, come over here, brother, let me tell you something

You think we're talking too loud?
(Hey, shush, Gus)
Huh, I ain't got no dust
Huh, I don't have to take it on the lam
(Better watch that man)
Say, huh?
(Better watch that man)
Watch him, yeah, alright, you're right, yeah, yeah
Coming from some funny places

What you say, brother?
(What's happening, Brown?)
Huh, trying to get down
Well, you know, looka here, we can't help it
(That's right, right on)
Ain't no alcohol, man, I don't dig it
What you say, uh, Jason?
(Say, don't be so mean)

You know I'm clean now
(And on the scene)
Excuse me, cat, while I rap

Looka here
Now, what you say, um
I'm walking all over this place, man, 'cause we having a good time
What Cheese show is funky
Cheese, you're trying to please, huh?
(Oh, yeah)

Go on and talk to her, brother
Go on and rap, testify

Got it?
Good
(Hey, man, Pink just gave you a wink)
Ha ha, Pink gave me the wink

Hey, Pink, have you got your horn in your mouth?
I'll tell you what I want you to do
You know that thing that you do on Super Bad?
(Yeah)
It sure would fit right now
Take it and make it funky
I'm gonna call you down 'cause I ain't gonna let you blow our thing
You understand, 'cause the man, okay

Like right about now, come on

Wait a minute, Pink
Pink, Pink, wait a minute, Pink
(Hold on, hold on, Pink, what is Pink doing?)

Hey, Pink, wait a minute, Pink
Pink, wait a minute, Pink, wait a minute, Pink, Pink
(Alright, brother)
I think Pink's doing his do, though

Doing his do, doing his do

Doing his do

(There it is, doing his do)

Doing his do
(Just doing his do)

Doing his do
(Just doing his do)
Doing his do

Doing his do

Doing his do
(Just doing his do)
You know, another thing about us all

What I really dig about it, you know

Everybody here, you know, like we're from down home, we're together

I don't know about Jason, though

I think Jason's from down there, but he don't want to tell you

You know what I'm saying?
He say he's from Ohio

Ain't no such place named as Ohio

I know where Ohio is
Hey, where you from?
I'm from Ohio, you understand?

That's like John Mayer, I'm from Ohio

Where you from, Jeff?
(Mobile)
You from Mobile?

Oh, Mobile Jeff
Yeah, that's right, 'cause I used to see
Jeff when he played with Bobby, yeah, yeah
I know we always go to Mobile, he hide
He say he always get a different room, but I know Jeff go home
Yeah, he's from Mobile
Where you from, Albert?
What part, man? Georgia's got a big

What? Macon
Don't say it so low, brother, you make me think
That you don't want the people to hear yourself
Fred, where you from?
(L.A.)
(Uh-oh, uh-oh, L.A.)
Hey, hey, hey

(Ask him where he started)
(Lower Alabama)
What you say?
(Lower Alabama)
Lower Alabama, alright

Yeah, alright, alright, alright
Remind me about Los Angeles

Where you from, uh
You know, I keep forgetting this cat's name, what's your name is, man?
(Jimmy)
Oh, yeah, I knew it all the time
Where you from, Jimmy?
(I'm from N.C.)

From what?
(I'm from N.C.)
From where?

(N.C.)
