All Said & Done

Yeah, it's E-V, a.k. Ev, you know me, ha ha

I got love for my people, they showed me that

Built my, empire, never one struck back

I show, trust for starters, led by example

Who work harder? Ha ha ha, you kiddin right?

Every bing, catchin a flight

Emergency row, coach, sittin up through the night

Can't stand, you carried in; ain't earned, you married in

You ain't a +Hustler+ like Larry Flynt

Some die violent, rest in peace

Instead of brew, we pourin out gasoline

It's a cold world of course, still tryin to breathe

Tryin to stay on course, in no rush to leave

JUST, stickin tongue in cheek; and speakin of

Speak to my peeps in time with the drum

This the taste to say the least, Weatherman LP

It's the shape of things to come

I have seen, so many pe-ople

I wonder if they knew my name (I ask myself)

Af-ter it's all, said and done

I wonder if they knew my name

(In case you didn't know, they call me Evidence)

Af-ter the fame, af-ter the mu-sic fades away

(Ladies and gentlemen, y'all need to turn it up)

I see, so many pe-ople

I wonder if they knew my name

(It's Evidence, let's go)

Khalil, you crazy~!

Look - Ev changed his flow, y'all didn't know

The whole time been capable, waitin on a sign to blow

Look, listen, observe, witness

My heart been this since a long time ago

Sleep with my eyes up, hustle never went down

Maybe as a juvenile, that's sealed and dried up

18 turned around, 20/20 focused now

Fans would support, these haters would dickride us

Magic was my idol, Bird my rival

More important than church or bibles when we "Work the Angles"

They start to bounce, so don't hold me liable

C-A, rep Lost Angels

They got it twisted, streets are still danger

People turn quick, friends become strangers

One day, this way, next they change up

Minor leaguers, thinkin they major

Yeah, more than one hit, on tour at the same time

More than one chick, more than guns clips

More you peep, each line is more than punches

Each rhyme is hungry, didn't pack my lunches

"Marathon" cats are back, that's longevity

I might flip, I'm "Serious" as Steady B

You ain't do it right, we stealin your melody

Or maybe not, cause John Lennon said "Let it Be"

Rappers need radio for self-esteem

I'm on some brand new boombox Radio Raheem

I wonder if my grind has gone in vain

I mean it's my time, but are they on my page

I rap behind the beat but never after the fact

They put they trust in me, never ever sat back

Since that day a loop I'm choppin it

It's make history or sit around watchin it

Life goes by, pick up and drop habits

I duck cops, never caught, "The Eyes Have It"

All said and done I'd do this shit again

I've seen so many people, I wonder if they know my name
