L Da Headtoucha - "Evolution (DJ Cutz RMX)" [Emcee(s): L Da Headtoucha] [Producer(s): DJ Cutz] [Additional Vocals: [?]] [Intro: [?] and L Da Headtoucha] [[?]] First and foremost, I'd like to thank y'all for joining us today. This next young brother we're about to bring to the stage is someone I truly admire. He's been doing his thing for quite a while now, and it gives me great pleasure to bring him out to you, so please give a warm welcome for Larry Cheeba [L Da Headtoucha] Heh, thank you, thank you, thank you, heh. This first song is a dedication to the two people that made this all possible. Without them, there is no me. Therefore, I feel it's only right just to give back. I call this one "Evolution." Heh [Verse 1: L Da Headtoucha] Yeah Dedicated to the man in my life that handed Me life—my first name [?] was yours This close-knit picture painted was poor Of a shorty in a corner store, hoping you copped Though you're not, had to change my position—that's when I stopped wishing Then you caught me shoplifting. "Pop, listen" Thankful for the days of my youth, you would not listen In fourth grade, I caught bad grades, you start bitching I remember days you slaved in a hot kitchen Blowing candles out on birthdays, I made wishes Was so photogenic and hated to take pictures High school days, I blazed and chased bitches The pain cover my frame with eight stitches Riding on a bike called "Life," I went from watching Wonder Years, Good Times, and Michael Knight to Dope-peddling in trifle nights, went from Tyco Bright to fly gear and wearing ice so bright Life was right—you tried to tell me life was hard Pulling my cards at home with them young drug czars Grew addicted to the fast life, money, and cars Sun done came, changed the ball like Oz. You must Have been too ashamed to see me behind bars But we all bear scars in massa's prison I just hope you find time to listen—that's what my mind envisioned [Interlude 1: L Da Headtoucha] Ay, ay, pops, I know it's been a while now since we've seen each other, since you left my moms and all, but, uh, I just wanted to let you know, man, that all them years, you was there, man. I appreciate it and I do have gratitude. I'd like to say, "Thank you" [Verse 2: L Da Headtoucha] Ma Heh, I know it might sound crazy No matter how old I get, I still feel like your baby, ma (I love your cooking) your steak, 'tatoes, and gravy I'm trying to tell you I'm so glad you made me, ma You told me the world was shady Back then, I thought you were crazy. Now I'm relating lately, ma You're a remarkable lady I cherish the way you raised me—you taught me not to be lazy, ma Alone and hungry, you came from another country Your friends became my family—I labeled 'em as my aunties Late-night, before bed, songs you sung me And wasn't afraid to lump me in public places you brung me I love you and know you love me. I just had to get It out my chest. I gave you endless amounts Of stress. I even got bad while Hustling on house arrest. I should have bounced Down south with 'Cris. Went from twenty-two pounds Of cess to the bullpen with steel cuffs around My wrists. Flashbacks of you screaming, "Who's house Is this?" Many nights, I done heard you trip Heard you flip the script thus far, but I'm saying You are the most precious living, Elizabeth And I know, one day, that your soul may drift Thank God I given this gift of having you here [Outro: L Da Headtoucha] Yo, ma, I just want to let you know that you just... your whole aura, your whole presence about you, ma, just really is... I'm telling you, the way you came here, you struggled and you made it, the feeling just... No doubt you are the queen, and nothing better. Everything about you just... I wish, one day, that I could just find a woman that'll just... similar to how you have it. Everything about you, ma, for real. And I know, one day, the Lord gonna come down and just... and until that day, until we meet again, ma, you're still... uh
