Evidence - The Red Carpet (Feat. Raekwon & Ras Kass)

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
written 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 C'mon
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 nigga reign
My lifestyle's a prowler
A rich loaner owner
Used to pump at coffees shops
Had my bitch 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 nigga shit
I'm a 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 Fuck 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
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 fool
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
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
