lyrics

Hook (4x):
We evolve; we evolve

Verse One (Dermo):
We have reflections over reckless moments
Through the metronomes, we’re ruling out depressing omens as we keep that message golden
Learning and living, blocking leeches that neglect their onus
And, make it a point to keep ‘em from putting that pressure on us
Exercise the nerves with Muhammad and Jesus’ lessons
Tough from war survivals while the cheaters sought an easy exit
Retreat to pity trails like ballers from their sleazy exes
Living through the social media with all the greasy flexing
‘Til their respects (are) like that of a bombed slum
Nowadays, I’m out to beat defeat harder than Tom drums
Success is the medicine, but ignorance is set to 10
When they tell you you’re not set for this, so you better get
From the horse’s mouth, you’ll get the cold hard truth that shoots down brash sentiments
I’m stepping with clear sentences that fly beyond the gibberish
Raised in villages where crooks ruling the pillaging
Though, music is my pilgrimage
Fill these loose leafs with soul, spilling it
Multiplied by the rush of adrenaline, steady killing it
Bitch, I refuse to fall; I reign in my lane
Swiftly pushing pens to break the ball and chain from my brain
For instance, wiping slates clean, changing up the scenes
Eliminating tumors, rearranging my regime
Like coaches, nurses, and scholars replacing all the fiends
Or, like the stars with the realities they’re tasting from their dreams
Like street rebels and orphans after they surpass strife
Or, like former sinners moving far away from their past vices
The best solution in an era that’s forever gruesome
Is evolution!!! (Talk to ‘em)

Hook (4x):
We evolve; we evolve (Talk to ‘em)

Verse Two (Blak Iron):
Took me forever to write a flow down; they told me slow down
We all get excited, but don’t get grown now
Only a matter of tick tocks before we shut these shows down
Gather three of the greatest; don’t contemplate what you know now
Stick to the clichés of the script and directors tell you
Never stray away from the plan, understand that you’re special
100 hand slap, nigga, that’s the special
Told Jeff I dare a nigga to come test you
Try my brother, and I’ll make sure God bless you
A tissue won’t help you; sneeze the wrong way, you’ll need a vested suit
Positive vibes and women friend all in my area
Level-headed college kids with no hysteria
Vocabulary extensive whenever I pad and pen it
I’m upper class like the Senate, Blak Iron’s so president-ed
My flows (are) so unprecedented; make sense of the 5 percentage
Remodel what I invented, and if I said it, I meant it

Hook (4x):
We evolve; we evolve (Talk to ‘em)

Verse Three (Nate Nattz):
Climbed out of the soup primordial
From whence sprouted all the cardinals and ordinals
Orioles Baltimore, torus like an apple core
Been askin’, who's your friend since the middle passage corridor
Gotta move forward if we’re stuck on this floor
This tenement of temperament should never have a boarder war
Hey, Arnold; hey, Gerald; hey, Harold
Parts of my childhood to learn lessons of a hero
Never blink twice at the media scarecrow
They just wanna hinder, turn your compass arrow
Back on this bender with my eye on the sparrow
My thoughts in the center, growth and adventure
Return to the sender and inventor of this harrowed
Tale American like feivel gone west for survival
But, return to the eastern for wisdom unrivaled
Divulge the data in the diptych triptych trifolds
Cryptic ancient, but relevant
Nay prevalent room elephant
In memory capacity, pathways through the mind so organic
A Taoist with the prowess, working on the mechanics
Advancing in evolution towards the absolution
And, hoping that I left at least a little contribution
Beyond MLA, and typing up the conclusion
More towards destroying disillusionment
And, moving with a smoothness that belies the size
And, besides the prize that most have devised
I resize the eyes and reply to lies
As recent as five ticks decent
On MSNBC/MSN Message
Instant in seconds that reties the lines
And define the times as beehive in mind
Collective in hind sight foresight is blind
But, delight the light and you shall see
The best path that is laid out in front of thee
Mine is spittin’ these raps so PC
And, lighting my lantern green like DC
This life is comic as a Marvel page
When you understand were all the same at the larval stage
Bipedals all crawled as a fetal
And, swam like tadpoles when sperming through the urethra
And why'd the chicken cross the road to the raptor
Or, is that vice versa; the after was tragic
Jurassic cretaceous Mesozoic creation
The basis the formless the faceless amazing
Back when the more was one with the less
And, as time proceeds I seek to progress
To do what I can and have no regrets
The rest of my life from this verse with Jeff bless

Hook (16x):
We evolve; we evolve (Talk to ‘em)
