[Intro: Evidence]
The difference between a hero and a coward? There is no difference
One time or another everyone's felt fear
It's what one person does that the other doesn't do that makes him a hero
But I'm about to step the fuck up
[Verse 1: Evidence & Iriscience]
Yo panic y'all
Back against the wall, feel the pressure
No way out, situation getting closer
Time is ticking, walls are closin'
Options narrow now, you're the one that's chosen
Panic, adrenaline rush, master mechanic
Play your position, blow wigs back with cannons
Colors of rhythm, no options left to choose from
Cooperation can cock thoughts that's gruesome
Like, Glock for murder with three strikes in Houston
Or foreign countries that chop fingers for boosting
Main objective—don't become an example
Either run or get ran, stampede or get trampled
I spit hard and respect my guard
Got vision like x-ray, that's how I read your card
Yo we got the upper hand and still play by the book
The truth? It's always the last place you look
That's right here
[Interlude: Iriscience]
Uh-oh. You feel that? That's the croud staring
That's the spotlights that shine that damn near blind
Sink or swim time kid. What's your first line?
[Verse 2: Evidence & Iriscience]
I spit hardcore, menace to flows
Time to panic for crews who don't rehearse for shows
'Cause yo, this year it's time to reclaim game
Used to sit up in the shadows and rebel against fame
Until my peep worded me up
Might have the mightest touch
And the only way to find out, to blow the fuck up
I listened, put that thought under my wing and in my brainstem
Now I think ink can bleed through paint pens
Or spray cans, dodging trains, it's the panic zone
East L.A to the beach, welcome to the terrordome
When the feelings gone, here comes artillery
To penetrate my zone takes a mind of a military
Blown off exotic trees from Yosemite
California's cannabis champ, dodging felonies
Melt my trees with heat, gun's the remedy
Do what I do? You might panic and call emergency
[Interlude: Evidence]
Set your own standards. Not everybody can do what we do
We can't do what everybody else does
A lot of people get comfortable playing follow the leader
But if you want to see change, you need to be the leader to follow
Let's make it happen
[Verse 3: Evidence]
Yo, panic, abandon ship, iceberg Titanic
Time to steal fans from other groups they take for granted
The way we came up, nothing was handed
So when we drop the mic, it's hot
Pick it up, you might get branded
Might not like your plane the way we land it
But get the job done and then some, so panic
And it ain't the last, hungry from the fast
High-tech shit so feel the blast
Catch the wordplay, hype says the survey
Instead of strip clubs, chop meats Monday through Thursday
Friday through Sunday, blown off the runway
Ev' the Weatherman, use words instead of gunplay
Perfect cadence, can't catch on radar
Speak the truth yo, don't run with traitors
Equator hot, the Arctic cold
Where everything between turns to green and gets sold
The earth, you better panic y'all
"I remember when we used to have four seasons Now it's just like one
One season all year long man
Let's take care of this place"
[Scratches: DJ Babu]
"What's the panic button shit, it's"
"Evidence"
"I can kill it from the West Coast to the Atlantic."
"Evidence. Oh. Evidence. Yeah"
"Worldwide respected, so give me mines or meet your death wish"
"Panic"
