Dilated Peoples - The Last Line of Defense lyrics

"The last line of defense"

Feel the pressure yo you better plan ahead
Gather your thoughts
I'm not gonna be the one wit
No chair when the music stops
The Orange Agent
Has just moved to your block
And gone headhunting, blame Herbie Hancock
Hard to get at, yo vocally serious
Never stress myself out
Treat songs like interludes
Drum patterns are primative
Evidence, the derivitive
Of what the late '80s and
Early '90s had to give
Dilated Peoples, far from tentative
Caress this microphone
Stay home and take your sedative
Yo I know our Platform is
Built on strong foundation


My Last Line of Defense
I keep a ace in the hole
On patrol, so balanced with no topic
The Weatherman lands at high noon
Ready to drop shit
Could freestyle better or maybe rap faster
But soundclash wit us (Don't do that)
You flirt with disaster


The last line of defense


(Back up in it)
The Sagittarius with flows in various
Types of pipes, and green to keep me hype
At thirty-thousand feet
Yo my heart starts poundin
So I rarely fly, intentional grounding
Make my rounds to towns, kill em in order
I'm equipped to blow shows and
Turn kids out wit corners
(With ease) I flow slow like
Growth on palm trees
And set trends more than
Femmes could split ends
I'm makin power moves
In fact, as I speak now
Do my best to re-enforce the
Motto "Milk the cow" make that dough for too
Many's the main concern
I say make the right music
Then your money's earned
Share the wealth with Babu and Iriscience
My death might be a tragedy
My life will be a triumph
Go focus on the star
The man who won the Heisman
Trophy would be broken, forget it

"Evidence of the war"
"Don't ever lose sight of this fact"
The last line of defense
"When it comes to blood and rap
It's lyrical combat"
The last line of defense
"Evidence" "Don't ever lose sight
Of this fact" the last line of defense
"When it comes to blood and rap
It's lyrical combat"
The last line of defense
Yo critique my mic techniques live
I carthage this you didn't think I had what
It takes in my esophagus? A cat like you
Yo your show sounds hot for real
Of course it does, standin still
Yo I dig your little pace
You're walkin forth at best
At that rate, on tour dates
I hope you never run outta breath
I'm Evidence, Mike Peretta, head commander
Both of my names like
Gary Shandling's Larry Sanders
When I say now
This will take out in an instant
Wherever I go, my caravan goes
Gogh's like Vincent
But Ev at Princeton, they won't follow good
So I shock this microphone and split
A tree trunk to hollow wood
The last line of defense
Set your prescedence set your standard
Make it known you own your throne
Yo, the last is when you hit em
Just enough to leave a gash
In time, the wound will heal
Rest assure they'll make it known
Who threw the heat and felt the blast
Who gave the answers and
What questions are asked
Are your favorite artists boring you?
That shit don't make sense
Call Evidence The Last Line Of Defense

"Evidence of the war"
"Don't ever lose sight of this fact"
The last line of defense
"Evidence" "When it comes to blood and rap
It's lyrical combat"
The last line of defense
"Evidence of the war"
"Don't ever lose sight of this fact"
The last line of defense
"When it comes to blood and rap
It's lyrical combat" the LAST!
