No Exit Lyrics & Chords By Gil Scott-heron

Where you tryin' to run to?
Don't you even know
That you're still gonna be you
Every place you go

You can change your name and address
That's what a lot of people say
But the cards that they deal you
Are the ones you gotta play

No you can't get away
No you can't get away
No you can't get away
From you

You can change from bald to cornrows
Or the other way around
You can live up on a mountain
Or in a cave deep underground
You can make so many changes
That you fool the FBI
But you recognize a suspect
As someone you can't leave behind

No you can't get away
(No you can't get away)
No you can't get away
(No you can't get away)
No you can't get away
(No you can't get away)
From you

Why you got that mask on?
And who you tryin' to fool?
The only one who matters
Is stuck inside with you
As soon as you stop runnin'
And see that everyone's afraid
But the thing that really scares me
Is that I almost didn't say

No you can't run away
(No you can't run away)
No you can't run away
(No you can't run away)
No you can't run away
(No you can't run away)
From you

No you cant run away
(No you cant run away)
No matter how you try
(No matter how you try)
Remember what the brother say
(Remember what the brother say)
You can run, you can run, but you just can't hide

No you can't run away
(No you can't run away)
No can't run away
(No you can't run away)
No can't run away
(No you can't run away)
From you

No!
