Masta Ace, Marco Polo, Evidence - E.A.T. lyrics

Premier, DJ Premier premier, DJ Premier
Gotta get a plate now
Masta Ace (Gotta get a plate now)
One, two (Gotta get a plate now)
About time (Gotta get a plate now)
You into this? (Gotta get a plate now)

Understand man, I gotta eat
It's that educated Brownsville brother
With a lotta street
Me and Preem, that's a lotta heat
I gotta speak all this truth into the
World but it's not a Tweet
Unlimited wordplay in the worst way
Fired like going to work late
On the first day
I'm in the field where the hurts lay
And going hard 'til I'm all the
Way up where the birds play
Flyin' higher than the eagle 'til
I feed my people


This is only part one, you gon' need a sequel
You gon' need another episode
Elevate your thoughts
Get your brains in the weapon smoke
You gotta break bread at the right table
Be on the right team like Mike Vrabel
On battle nights via satellite
Why you stupid motherfuckers still say
That you like cable?
My mic cable never tangles
It's a view to a kill from some better angles
My conscience speaks nonsense
You that dude from the 'ville
Don't let them change you
But understand, man
I gotta evolve and transcend
So my problems are probably solved
And when it's solved, I'll be back soon
This shit is hard like playing
Black moon in the backroom

(Premier, Premier, Premier)
Goin' all around the world, man
You gonna eat (Premier, Premier, Premier)
All this love from the fans
That we gonna meet
Marco on the board, Preemo on the beat
All I'm tryna say is, we gonna eat
Yeah, yeah, we gonna eat
Understand man, we gonna eat (DJ Premier)

Yeah, yeah, we gonna eat
Gotta get it played now

I don't write until the beat'll
Say it's meant for me
And if it don't happen rightfully
It wasn't meant to be
Everything eventually, fucked like a century
Goin' huntin' all the animals he sent to me
I felt pressure in the places
That were packed in looking back
Just a fraction of the places that I've
Seen that raised all my principles
Made me to what I am, my step bro is critical
I rep original
It's hard to find a box to fit me
Tryin' in dark to find locks, that's tricky
Like that song from DMC and Reverend Run
JMJ, never fade away and never done
Never let the one who hold envious trait's
Enter your space
That'll be the end to your day
I mean, we all need a team
(Mic check, one, two)
What's the point in havin' dogs
Not supportin' your dreams
I got a lot to see

Goin' all around the world, man
You gonna eat all this love from the fans
That we gonna meet
Marco on the board, Preemo on the beat
All I'm tryna say is that we gonna eat
Yeah, yeah, we gonna eat
Understand man, we gonna eat
(We gotta get it played now)
(Premier, Premier, Premier)

Eyo, we evolve and transcend
But always keep it tucked like trans men
Everywhere this man's been
Fans know, my catalog thicker than Land's End
See y'all ain't ready but listenin' heavy
(Listen) y'all hear these cats but
Y'all wishin' for Eddie
Delirious so they distant and petty
'Cause I'm divine
Malcolm X giving kisses to Betty (yeah)
It's for my wife and my daughter as well
That's on my life, I ain't goin' to jail
I can't be asleep on the floor in a cell
I'd rather be on a tour with Estelle
I evolved, it was mandatory
'Cause I can see that God planned it for me
This is me, understand my story
Me and Ev over Preem
It's a whole different category

Gotta get it played now
Gotta get it played now
Yo! It's Creepy Clown with DJ Premier
