| Sat on a bench penning a verse
|
| Yes, it’s Evidence
|
| Who wrote «For Whatever It’s Worth»
|
| I let the ink bleed
|
| ‘Cause when I squeeze it’s cohesive
|
| Make a beat, release the cold pieces
|
| That’s the sound when I am down and out
|
| Round and round, we go round another roundabout
|
| The city painted blue or red is what a pound about
|
| I’m steppin' out tonight, and god willing stepping out of bounds
|
| I came up, but money can’t buy me
|
| Love, but it can buy me other things I need
|
| What? |
| Do you think it’s time to break the gate again
|
| I motivate and think bigger than money out the ATM
|
| It’s as good as gone, shit, it’s as bad as here
|
| Status, it’s the climate in the atmosphere
|
| Things you can’t touch, spray but can’t brush
|
| I guess the latency said a little late
|
| But I can’t rush
|
| Sat in the back of the Jimmy Z
|
| And I started sketchin'
|
| One arm hanging out the window with the muscle flexin'
|
| Stacy Adams foot on the seat, resting
|
| Open the book of revelations and pick out a lesson
|
| Powers beyond control of pencil
|
| Draw blood every time I cut a record, I blow a vessel
|
| You get charcoal
|
| The battery charge while this Japanese sparkle in the carafe
|
| Two fingers, raise the glass off the marble
|
| It’s all a legend
|
| Mix the medicine with the Benson and Hedges
|
| Know where the ledge is
|
| Might take a little off of the top, fade the edges
|
| Still keep it crisp
|
| Pay no attention to the politics, ‘cause ignorance is bliss
|
| Complex napoleon, triple-X nickelodeon
|
| Remove the garbage
|
| Work the night shift, the rap custodian
|
| Use your face as a tray to put out a bogie
|
| In due recording, midnight, noon, or morning
|
| So move according
|
| I sat on a plane and let my brain unwind
|
| Hot towels for my face and wine
|
| Defying the laws of gravity, space and time
|
| International air space, I’m flying with the divine
|
| Keep the fact that race tracks could lead to dark places in mind
|
| Exercising smart taste, refined
|
| Higher than artificial borders in these man made line
|
| Thirty thousand feet above a pastor, man made crime
|
| The future is pure potential I’m promised
|
| And unpolished, is raw
|
| Soft clay, but data’s the new knowledge
|
| The present is a gift, like my presence when I’m gone
|
| In fact, it’s always right now, even when I’m wrong
|
| The elevation never drops
|
| Tell em better never stops
|
| Watch ‘em play the part
|
| I tell ‘em to get some better props
|
| Understanding one world
|
| Over trying to set it off
|
| Looking down I see the bubble
|
| Hoping that it never pops
|
| Check it
|
| I sat on a bus, brushing my wave
|
| Sunny CA
|
| My sunshine shine, as if it don’t rain
|
| Your dame went from no name
|
| To damn near knowing the whole game
|
| That’s cold fame
|
| My cell phone rang
|
| My number don’t change
|
| I picked it up
|
| Had her pick me up from my domain
|
| She drove a dope range
|
| Like my blood brother who don’t bang
|
| She love that Cobain
|
| Because she blow brains and blow things up
|
| Out of proportion sometimes
|
| I light her propane
|
| She like to hold hands with grown mans
|
| I like to hold papers and blow cake like it’s my birthday
|
| I feel I’m thirty eight
|
| I say forget my curses, J
|
| I should’ve went to church today
|
| To wash away my sins
|
| So I could shine, when them curtains raise
|
| I hope the gas prices lower, like the murder rate
|
| So all that bread can circulate, properly
|
| Where the urban stay
|
| So much red and blue, you saw it was a purple state
|
| I guess they threw that gold on it and hopes Earvin stay |
