[Verse 1: Evidence]
I set it off in the sunny distance, no days existed
My patience led the way until the greatest love listened to me
I used to play the witness, wait in the trenches
It's like the 6th man, sits on different benches
It's hard squeezing life in a sentence
And if I do, roll carpet with the red tint
My entrance is what's between
When I exit, it's Evidence left on the scene
Alchemist cut the record down to the bone
And with a record like this I take the world by storm
Sky blessed, the land of the brave
Understand where I stand, my hand is made
From BR Double-O KLYN, the planet
Family landed, managed to raise the man that I became
Panic on my first campaign
But when the words fell to place, I was certain to reign
I hit the purple, then step in the circle and start flexin'
Weatherman invented, now storms change directions
Portions of my proceeds is feeding my homies now
I always shared pretty good for an only child
I was the baby boy, I could do no wrong
Now the role's reversed, I'm putting people on
They on welfare, you got healthcare
They used to have their priorities elsewhere
I took rims and tires and traded them
For a ticket to an island, that's where
I wrote this rhyming
Where I first saw my vision
Driven by a better living, a place to raise kids in
So I think like I rule the world
On the brink of something bigger, building schools
For boys and girls
The thought of home gets me out of my bed
I said you got the tools?
Get them shits up out of the shed. Cmon!

[Verse 2: Raekwon]
I'm like the indispit of rhyming
The Jack Dempsey emcee
All my shit customed out
(?) eventually
Money is made, fly blades
A woman with brains, will help a black n*gga reign
My lifestyle's a prowler
A rich loaner, owner
Used to pump at coffees shops
Had my b*tch who sell with me rolling up
Fly ass and still classy
Asking questions like "Why you wait on that glass?
Why would you splash me?"
Yo, it's only n*gga shit
I'ma teach you like how I was taught too
Hold the phone, Ward 2
Seeing all kinds of grey fossils
Colossal juice, pick the house, act fly
I got you. No need to walk backwards
F*ck with the taxes
I speak credibility, the story to masses
Yo, a diplomatic winner, Nik boots
A scully good denim jean on and one rental

[Rass Kass]
They say you only live once, I disagree
You only live twice: your life enable your seed
So I lead on whacks and feed em the deeds
So when I die they got a foundation on my publishing B
Plus the words that I speak, here's my family jewels
It ain't all blood diamonds, but like experienced fools
And I be rhyming cool, but my philosophy's deep
Like a Dear John letter, so read em and weep
And the wolf smells blood: you can feed em to me
But I'm a Lycan underworld, you can meet in the street
Draw heat, but what happened to peace?
He got a Dirty Sanchez, like what happened to Screech
Jesus, diarrhea's - I mean holy shit
Christ on a cracker, that's just how we spit
Communion: had the wine, make the sign of the cross
And I will live in the past, chalk it up as a loss
Went from "please listen to my demo!"
To stretch limo
To the penn in a cell watching Eminem on Jimmy Kimmel
But I can't go out like Timbo slice
Like Geena Korrano, a cyborg determinate
Mano a mano, still Ronald McDonald
Over one billion served
But it's up to me to get what I deserve
So I handle my biz and hustle harder than the norm
The early bird gets the worm, but the hawk gets the bird...
