"Start to spit!"
  "HUH?" <- Joeski Love

[Evidence]
When they change tones
They go off the days on, they go on I'm home
I roamed the Venice district by the time I hit
My first chick, I was distant and aside from it
I've had trust problems every month, it is now an issue (magazine)
My life as a dog is now wag-the-tail official
Put a stage on a yacht, I'll rock the boat out in Bristol
It's Dilated Peoples like we're made into a missile

[Chorus: DJ Babu cuts and scratches]
 "Ask no question, ain't no answer.."
   "Sing along with me if y'all know the song" <- Pharoahe Monch

"Start to spit!"
  "HUH?" <- Joeski Love
 

[Evidence]
...That's my word
I met the best of the best and let me tell you, they're herbs
I met the worst of the worst and those were people to meet
It's like the game's all reversed so I'm just working on me
I'm +Miseducated+, Lauryn Hill made it possible
Undo anything I've known becomes the obstacle
I'm trying to go blank and throw the old paintings out
Garage sale, Sunday when the rain is out
‘Tis the season for no reason, time to let it go
I didn't smoke today cause everybody's on that medical
I'm on a schedule, maybe on a edible
And history is to repeat itself then it ain't set in stone
I never told my mom I would make it big
I just said, "You'll be proud of your kid"
"Fuck the world" is what my statement is (E-V, Dilated)
I state my name, then I state my biz and it's on

[Chorus]

[Evidence]
I captured moments and I never shook the Polaroid
High as fuck, head in the clouds I'm on that null and void (gone)
Controlled the substance of my language
When I laid it out, I said it's dangerous
I said what goes around is coming back around at angles
(Watch that...) Lord forgive my sins
From when the first one started till the last one ends
For every time I thought about sales and spins
Worship of a Benz and birds before friends
Was certain when I came into the game and still the same to date
About the crowd I keep, sound of beats, about the moves I make
About the rules at stake, moving with a jewel to take
And still rock a gold chain for Slick Rick The Ruler's sake
...At times like these
I hold my wallet tight and eye my tress
Never saying that I'm out of my league, shit...
I'm staying separate at 6 degrees and it's on

[Chorus]
