Evidence - 10,000 Hours lyrics

(Evidence, Is at the door)
What's up (With the dope rhyme that I kick)
(Evidence, Is at the door)
(With the dope rhyme that I kick) yeah, uh
(Now it's time for me to
Make my impression felt)

I was guarded as an artist from
The first day I started
I lowered my voice deep and
Tried to rap hardest
Thinking back, I wasn't letting 'em in
Even when they're knocking at the door
And telling me to win
I felt like losing, like
"How could I be worthy"?
My friends did it big and
My friends did it early
Met a lot of people I admired
Inspired by their talent
I looked the other way if
They was criminal or violent
Mic stand, booth and an ASR
Pantyhose from my mother clothes
And I lay a bar
Lay 'em all together, then I make a song
Feeling like I made a hit
Go to class, play the shit
The day is what you make of it
(Fucking crazy) I make it mine
'cause my eyes are open
'Cause no one will do it for ya
So I keep 'em peeled and scoping
As an ode to my mom
With the camera's shooting solo
While my fans wait for music
Leaving comments on a photo

(Now it's time for me to
Make my impression felt)

Same vinyl crates
But I'm coming up with new flips
On my classic, like karate kid and blue chips
I don't wanna see my fans broke or be bitter
And I don't wanna see my heroes
Slanging verses on their Twitter
(Ayy) Everyone's an imitation
Spitters copy G Rap
The rest are on some Drake shit (Right)
I took my time to find my own shit
Ten-thousand hours
No borrow type or loan shit
'cause I'ma own it burning bridges
There's nowhere to go but forward
I strike the match
Then I'm caught up in the moment
But never in my feelings when
I'm dealing with opponents i dead 'em first
And their scalp is just a bonus
"The alpha dog, quiet, quiet, and honest"
You'd make our paper euro, dollar, yen
Kronas" my mother said I'd understand when
I was grown up
Well, here I am, graduating with diplomas

(Now it's time for me to
Make my impression felt)
(Evidence, Is at the door)
(With the dope rhyme that I kick)
(Evidence, Evidence, Evidence, Evidence
Is at the door)
(With the dope rhyme that I kick)
