The Great Escape Lyrics
[Intro]
WhyJay
It’s Tekky

[Chorus: Central Cee]
Stuck in the trap, gotta get outta that, so I’m planning the great escape
I’m in two minds, should I handle this flake, or should I go H.A.M on this tape?
See jakes, set pace, stay calm, I’ll handle the chase, don’t slam on the brakes
These hoes that I fucked way back in the day keep baiting my government name

[Verse 1: Blanco & Central Cee]
Bro love splash, he ain’t bathing but he’s with Chelsea and that’s so Raven
Hate Blancs, everybody loves Raymond, Naghz might run out the car, he ain’t aimin’
Ghost but I’m back like Kanan, govs in my room and they’re all Caucasian
Tension with one man, strain it, she tryna cuff but I’m here restrainin’
Open the window, need ventilation, bando need renovating
They had their time but they got relegated, clear that they ain’t educated
I probs got a chance with the rap, I feel like they’re feeling my cadence
She give me that head, she decapitate, OT, I ain’t jeeted in ages
3 Jojo, he ain’t Mojo, but he love bread and a buttercup
Thameside, got the brothers stuck, jakes with the judge gotta cover up
5AM and I’m backing a mash, Mizmac gotta watch for the govs
Move ‘cah they watching at us, broski’s gone, but he watching above
[Chorus: Central Cee]
Stuck in the trap, gotta get outta that, so I’m planning the great escape
I’m in two minds, should I handle this flake, or should I go H.A.M on this tape?
See jakes, set pace, stay calm, I’ll handle the chase, don’t slam on the brakes
These hoes that I fucked way back in the day keep baiting my government name

[Bridge: Blanco & Central Cee]
Sing to police like Backstreet Boys and Jodeci
Head down with a mask on still and they noticed me
18k for the pendant piece was the total fee
Toxic relationship with my queen, she got a hold of me

[Verse 2: Central Cee]
Lizzy, my main concern, everything else can wait
It was family first, it’s sad, my bad, I had to get paid
Convos long, sometimes I ain’t bothered, I’m moving like Catherine Tate
Tryna bring in a pack into tape like “Yo, anyone want yay?”
They sing to police tryna beat their case, singing like B2K
I wanna play, she want chanay, I’m banging out wewantwraiths
She got a man, I don’t care about that, what’s he gon’ say?
She can get this D when it elongates, she ain’t getting no T-bone steak

[Verse 3: Blanco]
Love them Brazilian beats ‘cah I grew in favelas, I’m still in the streets
Shank proof under the fleece and Jakes find a hand ting under the seat
Hundred racks that’s tax VAT, we don’t do no B&E
They don’t ball like they fractured their knee, CID tryna capture the free
Taking a bad one away for a one time date, man I’m so astonished
TG like ‘007, that’s quantum of solace
Bro got caught with the bug but this virus ain’t from torrents
Sitting down with a brown one but Goldilocks hates porridge

[Chorus: Central Cee]
Stuck in the trap, gotta get outta that, so I’m planning the great escape
I’m in two minds, should I handle this flake, or should I go H.A.M on this tape?
See jakes, set pace, stay calm, I’ll handle the chase, don’t slam on the brakes
These hoes that I fucked way back in the day keep baiting my government name

[Outro: Blanco & Central Cee]
Sing to police like Backstreet boys and Jodeci
Head down with a mask on still and they noticed me
18k for the pendant piece was the total fee
Toxic relationship with my queen, she got a hold of me
