Escapism (Gettin' Free) - Digable Planets

Planets be the champ of the amplified sound

Swimmin' in this art born up the boogie down

The Rubin Rod Squad flew angles toward the point

Could a wierdo group of bugs slam a gang of funky joints

The provin’s in the movin' of the baggy clothes

At the dimly lit clubs where flock the milk duds

Hip hop enzymes with pride kicks inside

Dig the threads the nappy heads

Bobbin' over beats that sleeps with ghetto slang

No sirens just felts and wax from ghetto brains

The cosmic child’s hit with dance and beats and kits

Like the punk I don’t uhh uhh and shit

The ancestors grin cause rap is gettin' fat

To some of them it’s grim cause it’s youth be havin' gats

So save all the cares, let down your nappy hairs

Cause the beats is givin' life like air

The flyest fly bids is swellin' the inside

The locest loc kids left they Glocks in the ride

Hoodlums in the house gettin' they flams on

Cause even peace got some clout when the funky jams on

Get free, get free y’all

Get free, get free y’all

Get free, get free y’all

Get free, get free y’all

Funk is you, funk is me, funk is us, funk is free

Funk is you, funk is me, funk is us, funk is free

Funk is you, funk is me, funk is us, funk is free

Funk is you, funk is me, funk is us, funk is free

Insects at the joint no flam just kickin' it

Wiggle with the fruits over by the liquids

The slick kids is down, the flyers passed around

We try to dig the group or recognize the loop

The strobe light is out in the crowd, dig my speakin'

Who you see freakin' is the native cause your seekin'

I came in the door, I said it before

Jams make me kite, if they slam then it’s life remember this

Yo, silkworm’s chillin', Butterfly’s chillin'

A crew of Ladybugs;

We giggle with the thugs

The world is in here cause expressions under hair

I love my peers

You for a black jam makes you for a black man

A kid I didn’t know slapped his fingers in my hand

A wisdom caught my eye damn a jams fly

Honeys with some cuties someone havin' hootie

I think every mom and dad should say to their kids

K-k-kids be free

Be whoever you are and do whatever you wanna do

Funk
