To Be Determined

Lyrics

[Intro: Evidence] Where I'm from, they say the sun shine all the time I keep seeing rain… yeah [Verse 1: Evidence] Uh, squeezing blood from a rock Making something out nothing, that's something I got That's one thing I had, while the others didn't get it They was chasin' the world, I brought it right to my block Brought it back with the oath, stay reppin my coast… Poof, I was blowin the spot, without knowin or not Not knowing a thing, trying to prove to most Made it open my lane, I found my slot They went right, E-V went left So Common, one day it'll all make sense Soundbombin'; no way we'll all make ends Survival of the fit, a few win, but most quit Or fend for themselves so here's to good health Here's to drama, two up and one of 'em fell "Hear, hear" to that, this is for my LA Cats And Dogs who never left to the world, We back C'mon [Hook: Aloe Blacc (Evidence)] Sometimes I ask myself, "Why would I need anyone else?" (To Be Determined) To make it through this life, when everyday's a brand new fight I had struggles in every single muscle, always on the hustle (and I know) And I know I can't make it, on my own [Verse 2: Elzhi] Had visions of being caked up On the island while the weather's freezing Whether he's in the French Caribbean, swimming with amphibians Or in Hawaii blowing Maui Wowie, life is good I dodge bullet grazes Slash the nights that coulda ended my existence For instance, through the persistence, the distance We from a number of statistics Once a lot smaller looking up to Shot-callers, not ballers They never grew up, just got taller Trying to find freedom in a trap Hungry for success they eat up There's food for thought I feed 'em in a rap I'm taking trips to France Make it rain where the strippers dance, dance Sip in hand, grippin my money clips in hands It was hell, I thought I saw demons hiding in lost souls Straight out the evil books inside of my far scrolls They say you should toss goals, throw away your dreams That nothing go the way it seems, It's done or You feelin unsure, but that's what this one's for [Hook: Aloe Blacc (Evidence)] Sometimes I ask myself, "Why would I need anyone else?" (To Be Determined) To make it through this life, when everyday's a brand new fight I had struggles in every single muscle, always on the hustle (and I know) And I know I can't make it, on my own [Verse 3: Aloe Blacc] Push as hard as you want, against the wall bro Push the wrong dude, they be looking for you like Waldo Times was harder than before, when it was fun and games When we was just spittin rhymes, trying to get a bigger name Now car notes involved and bills require grindin' Who'd ever thought that Aloe Blacc get back to rhymin' Street philosophers could theorize, "it's all timin'" Economist would say, "It's kinda rough to find a diamond" And all the simple lining in the clouds couldn't change The simple fact that it pours when it rains All more of the same And my score in the game, let it reflect That I earn every little bit of respect I get [Bridge: Aloe Blacc] Oh, it's time, get up off the wall, cross that line My momma told me that every flower Meeds rain shower like it need sunshine I know I can make it, you know you can make it, we can make it If you get on yo grind… [Outro: Evidence] Rain keeps fallin' down… Music by ALC
