20/20

[Intro]

{*"20/20" scratched by DJ Babu*}

It's goin down.. not now but right now..

By now you know the sound.. (C'MON!)

{*"It's dilation" "Cats with 20/20"*}

I tell nickel and dimers try not to be dealers

If they deal at least help, try not to be villains

And if they caught dealin, try not to be squealers

If they do try not to be shocked to see killers

Yeah I'm crazy eyes killer, triple optic

Cold man go guerilla, pure with no filler

Rakaa's that real-I, bend steal at will

Eyes open, wide awake, y'all keep your eyes peeled

[Evidence]

I never ratted, just rat-a-tat-tatted

Fully automatic, your whole aura shattered

I got beats and rhymes, either/or it never mattered

Flow fast or slow like I did on "Eyes Have It"

I don't waste days away glued to John Madden

So when the sun sets West I ain't mad at it

I gravitate towards those cats who ain't dramatic

And seein 20/20 money stacks is a habit

[Hook One]

Yeah - handsight is 20/20, let's toast to the past

But here's to the future time to split this money money

Handsight is 20/20... a toast to the past

But here's to the future... {*"20/20"*}

[Evidence]

Last couple years shit been off the wall

Many tears lost my mom I'm stayin strong

Regroup myself, dust my shoulder off

We back once again then POOF we gone

I seen shit go down like Alc' almost die

Now I see why they say it's safer to fly

In the same breath, breathe life accept death

Until then 20/20, one of the best yet

[Rakaa Iriscience]

I've had experiences that were out of body

Cops still probably clocked me comin out of parties

I've seen scandalous verdicts make Los Angeles uprise

Black Tail bottoms and Cannabis Cup highs

Create to Devestate taught me how to bomb

From Radiotron, to the German autobahn

Trade money still different color and shade bills

20/20 wide awake y'all keep your eyes peeled

[Hook Two]

It's goin down.. not now but right now..

By now you know the sound.. (C'MON!)

[Rakaa Iriscience]

Three eyes wide, I can still see Ali

Say I float like a butterfly, sting like a bee

Now I float like a brother's high, swing like a beast

I'm from Mid-City, when the bell rings I'm released

Hustlin fightin and eatin still bringin relief

To my people, if they're in your reach, each one teach

Runnin through so much grass my shoes need cleats

Got that "vente vente" pumpin through these streets

[Evidence]

Last LP was odd, the score's even at last

Now we got enough trees to make you take 4 and pass

Now we got enough in fact don't even pass that back

It's free weed on me, you can hold me to that

When you see me in the streets, it be for that 20/20

Better than diesel, better than kush, it ain't funny

But trust me this Cali, my block's best product

We so quick to cop, Dilated Peoples got 'em

[Hook One]
