Evidence To Be Determined (feat. Aloe Blacc & Elzhi)
Where I’m from they say the sun shine all the time
I keep seeing rain… yeah
Uh, squeezing blood from a rock,
Making something out nothing, that’s something I got
That’s one thing I had, while the others didn’t get it,
They was chasin the world I brought it right to my block
Brought it back to the (uff?)
Stay reppin my coast… poof, I was blowin the spot,
Without knowin or not, not knowing a thing
Trying to prove to most, made it open my lane
I found my slot, they went right, E-V went left
So Common, one day it’ll all make sense,
Soundbombin’; no way we’ll all make ends,
Survival of the fit, a few win, but most quit,
Or fend for themselves so here’s to good health,
Here’s to drama, two up and one of ‘em fell,
"Hear, hear", to that, this is for my LA Cats
And Dogs who never left to the world, “We Back†*C’mon
Hook Aloe Black
Sometimes I ask myself, “Why would I need anyone else?â€
To make it through this life… when everything’s a brand new (vibe?)
I had struggles in every single muscle, always on the hustle and I know… and I know I can’t make it, on my own
Had visions of being caked up,
On the island while the weather’s freezing,
Whether he's in the French Caribbean,
Swimming with amphibians
Or in Hawaii blowing Maui Wowie, life is good
I dodge bullet grazes,
Slash the nights that coulda ended my existence
For instance, through the persistence, the distance
We formed a number of statistics,
Once a lot smaller looking up to Shot-callers, not ballers
We never grew up just got taller,
Trying to find freedom in a trap,
Hungry for success they eat up,
There’s food for thought I feed ‘em in a w“Rapâ€,
I’m taking trips to France,
Make it rain where the strippers dance, dance
Sip in hand, grippin my money clips in hands,
It was hell, I thought I saw demons hiding in lost souls,
Straight out the evil books inside of my far scrolls,
They say you should toss goals, throw away your dreams,
That nothing go the way it seems, It’s done or,
You feelin unsure, but that’s what this one’s for.[Once]
Push as hard as you want, against the wall bro.
Push the wall, knew they be looking for you like Waldo,
Times was harder than before, when it was fun and games,
When we was just spittin rhymes trying to get a bigger name,
Now car notes involved and bills require grindin’,
Who’d ever thought that Aloe Blacc get back to rhymin’,
Street philosophers could theorize, “it’s all timin’â€,
Economist would say, “It’s kinda rough to find a diamondâ€,
And all the simple lining in the clouds couldn’t change
The simple fact that it pours when it rains,
All more of the same,
And my score in the game, let it reflect,
That I earn every little bit of respect I get.
Oh, it’s time, get up off the wall cross that line,
My momma told me that every flower needs rain shower
Like it need sunshine,
I know I can make it, you know you can make it, We can make it,
If you get on yo Grind…
Rain keeps fallin… music by ALC
