[Intro]

Wake up! Ha ha.. Dilated, Dilated

Y'all know what time it is, check the clock

{*scratch repeats: "Cause this here's alarm clock music"*}

You hear that shit ringin

You hear that shit buzzin

{*scratched: "Pressin the button, they tryin to snooze"*}



[Rakaa Iriscience]

Ring the alarm, shoot the flare, I'm here

Lay right there, you catch the Dana Dane "Nightmares"

(Nightmares) They know it's caffeine, they try but can't sleep

They're hatin but they rockin to it while they count sheep

Cause this here's alarm clock music

Bang along beats like a bomb dropped to it

Pressin the button, they tryin to snooze

But their never been a man born with time to lose



[Evidence]

So many freestyles I did when I was tourin

But since I wrote 'em down, they view 'em as important

I do what I want, the way I see fit

And they think I'm from the Bay the way the flow B-Legit

Evidence got another sound mission

Listen, biz and pleasure, what's the difference

As long as the shit's hittin, and weed's gettin lit

Dilated we play some Pole Position



[Chorus: DJ Babu - scratching]

"Cause this here's alarm clock music"

"Bang along beats like a bomb dropped to it"

"Pressin the button, they tryin to snooze"



[Evidence]

Yeah, 16 out of 16 bars I spit are thrillers

8 out of 16 bars you spit are fillers

And I got these beats game tight

Keep talkin shit, just spell my name right

Evidence, make music, focus on the listener

I know I'm ghetto, use speakers as air conditioners

{*ba boom*} Feel the air blast

It's a hot day in L.A., right off Fairfax



[Rakaa Iriscience]

Rakaa, Arabic name, not a nickname

That in the frame makes it hard to get planes

I stay fly through the clouds of slipped brain

Thinkin how I loved hip-hop, but shit changed

Some say we're too serious and conscious

Some say we're all battle raps and ganja

I say in your bad dreams we're monsters

Ratpackin stages like Frank Sinatra



[Chorus]



[Evidence]

Yeah, right now we in the zone we belong (right here)

I let you know, right now you get warned

Right now before I sound the alarm

Let you know right now is the calm before the storm

The world changed, lands got conquered

Continents wandered, the planet got smaller

New York at 8 o'clock then head to Cali by flight

We got two shows, one on each coast the same night



[Rakaa Iriscience]

Yeah, the same fight for crumbs is not new to me

The hood sick even with free shots immunity

We need black and brown unity

So we need to keep that jail shit out of the community

Plus George got a few more years

That's a couple wars there and a couple wars here

Tricknowledgy propaganda and fear

make it hard to believe your own eyes and ears



[Chorus]
