[scratched samples]

"You can't hide, you can't run"

"Remember to, always be true, no matter what you do"

"Run it, I never fronted, I got my whole crew life on it"

"Think sharp"  "Man listen"

"You can't hide, you can't run"

"Remember to, always be true, no matter what you do"

"Run it, I never fronted, I got my whole crew life on it"



[Chorus]

Any day your last day might come (so)

You can't hide, you can't run

Late night or in the shadows when the daylight comes remember

"You can't hide, you can't run"  "Man listen"

Any day your last day might come (so)

You can't hide, you can't run

From the truth, we know each and every day fights come, remember

"You can't hide, you can't run"



[Rakaa Iriscience]

It's like it's "Final Destination," you tryin your best to make it

They say be patient but you know you're cheatin Death, it's chasin

Heart beatin, pulse racin, but I keep the pace and

train to be the best and beat the best by the Gracie

Grappler spectacular rapper sport of altercation

In self-defense we hem 'em up, a tailored alteration

We're firestarters, leavin stages up in flames

Then again we're firefighters, sprayin at whatever's blazin

Crazy ways to express and pass information

Daily makin the best of bad situations

We fight to win in whatever type of test we're facin

Hip-Hop came while they were underestimatin

Amazing grace how sweet the sound, that's what I was raised in

But then the crack and gangs flourished under Ronald Reagan

Life insurance for kids, undertakers waitin

Earth is purgatory, here between the pearly gates and Satan



[Chorus]



[Evidence]

Yeah ("man listen") I stay relevant

Only person I stand in the shadow of is Evidence

Last page, I left off a good look

This ain't the next chapter, it's a whole new book

About to steal the game, I'm a whole new crook

Bakin up that fire, I'm a whole new cook

Get your whole shit took, Cali's back under the sun

So - you can't hide, and you can't run

From the truth, some ain't convinced so they decide to try me

Like I give a fuck, we live from India Arie

They got spies in cameras and trailers

We see 'em settin up though we on counter-surveillance

On to me, I'm on to you, it's no mystery

Better think fast though, the future just your history

It's where the plot thickens, regardless of wealth

Cause the worst person to run from's yourself



[Chorus]
