[scratched samples]

"You can't hide, you can't run"
|
"Remember to, always be true, no matter what you do"
|
"Run it, I never fronted, I got my whole crew life on it"
|
"Think sharp" "Man listen"
|
"You can't hide, you can't run"
|
"Remember to, always be true, no matter what you do"
|
"Run it, I never fronted, I got my whole crew life on it"
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Any day your last day might come (so)
|
You can't hide, you can't run
|
Late night or in the shadows when the daylight comes remember
|
"You can't hide, you can't run" "Man listen"
|
Any day your last day might come (so)
|
You can't hide, you can't run
|
From the truth, we know each and every day fights come, remember
|
"You can't hide, you can't run"

[Rakaa Iriscience]
|
It's like it's "Final Destination," you tryin your best to make it
|
They say be patient but you know you're cheatin Death, it's chasin
|
Heart beatin, pulse racin, but I keep the pace and
|
train to be the best and beat the best by the Gracie
|
Grappler spectacular rapper sport of altercation
|
In self-defense we hem 'em up, a tailored alteration
|
We're firestarters, leavin stages up in flames
|
Then again we're firefighters, sprayin at whatever's blazin
|
Crazy ways to express and pass information
|
Daily makin the best of bad situations
|
We fight to win in whatever type of test we're facin
|
Hip-Hop came while they were underestimatin
|
Amazing grace how sweet the sound, that's what I was raised in
|
But then the crack and gangs flourished under Ronald Reagan
|
Life insurance for kids, undertakers waitin
|
Earth is purgatory, here between the pearly gates and Satan
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Evidence]
|
Yeah ("man listen") I stay relevant
|
Only person I stand in the shadow of is Evidence
|
Last page, I left off a good look
|
This ain't the next chapter, it's a whole new book
|
About to steal the game, I'm a whole new crook
|
Bakin up that fire, I'm a whole new cook
|
Get your whole shit took, Cali's back under the sun
|
So - you can't hide, and you can't run
|
From the truth, some ain't convinced so they decide to try me
|
Like I give a fuck, we live from India Arie
|
They got spies in cameras and trailers
|
We see 'em settin up though we on counter-surveillance
|
On to me, I'm on to you, it's no mystery
|
Better think fast though, the future just your history
|
It's where the plot thickens, regardless of wealth
|
Cause the worst person to run from's yourself
|
|
[Chorus]
