Defari, Evidence - Acknowledgement lyrics

They say they care about the man
Well, hey hey here I stand
They say they care about the man
Hey, hey here I stand
They say they care about the man
Well, hey hey here I stand
They say they care about the man
Hey, here I stand

Old school like the Rams in California
New school like
"Why you back in California?"
Dues are paid off and I
Don't flaunt the credit all I want
What is rightfully mine with no edit's

Old school, off the stairs to pull-ups
I'm a square to a pimp
But never when I pull up
Young Ruby Deezy, blowin' big treezy
Reppin' these locals, don't trip, be easy
Make papers, no favors for you fuckin' haters

We off hiatus, to the show and tell 'em
"See you later"
Off the bench before the 6 wasn't popular
I shock the drop and drove
A Phantom to the opera i keep my word
They never doubtin' all my promises
I drink for dolo, so the alcohol's anonymous

I speak for dolo
I'ma always know what time it is
I got 'em locked in, I'm old school
Simon Says i take their mind on a
Memory of Gregory Hines
I spit her just a little game
Works every time

I take a note of every
Symbol seen in every sign
Sincerely Evidence
My fingerprints on every line

They say they care about the man
Well, hey hey hey here I stand
They say they care about the man
Hey, here I stand
They say they care about the man
Well, hey hey here I stand
They say they care about the man
Hey, here I stand


I'm in this Rolls Royce wishing on a star
Buying Booker's at the bar
Giving muthafuckas BARS
New school like Tesla
This beat is like the key to
The vault with all the treasures

I'm off the one
I hit the boom on every measure
Accumulate material
Releasin' all the pressure
I'm not for rudeness, I'm strict off Smooth
Operator, Big Daddy Kane
Cookin' up some new shit
Uh, we used to do it in the park like Bruce
Can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Spit it to the metal through the wire
And tryin' to see if I can die
Before the day that I retire

Focused daily, coastal like Corpus Christi
Far Westy, I grew up in an ocean city
Bay city, godmothers feed 50
I get Tha Liks Tash, J-Ro, E-Swifty
That's all nifty, 130 proof whiskey
I mean bourbon, man
I'm just an alkie earnin'

Adult swimmin', fast cars and fast women
Another lap and we just
Passed in the beginning

They say they care about the man
Well, then, hey here I stand
They say they care about the man
Hey, here I stand
They say they care about the man
Well, then, hey here I stand
They say they care about the man
Hey, here I stand

You're a rest haven for hoes
You're a car thief, a car thief
That one you got out there is probably
Hot as a firecracker right now
It was 35, 000 dollars, 35
000 dollars cash money
35, 000 dollars plus one, right?
The one I gave you
No, you gave me six, though
Right? I had it when it was six
And now 35, 000 plus one plus six is seven
35, 000 dollars is seven, right? Muthafucka
Can you buy that?
