Cut My Teeth Dilated Peoples

[Hook 1: Rakaa Iriscience (Evidence)]
The strong prey upon the weak
This is where I learned to stand on my own feet
So much I see
(On the streets of Venice Beach is where I cut my teeth)
So much I see
(On the streets of Venice Beach is where I cut my teeth)
So much I see
Cut my teeth

[Verse 1: Evidence]
I remember how it all began
I used to switch graffiti tips on cans with both hands
No chance, I knew they couldn't stop this rush
Our bus bench was a stop, and they ain't stopping the bus
I caught the fever, at sixteen I copped a beater
Now it's me against the world, sit in my own two-seater
I drove slow on roads that lead freedom
What I believe in, known that I'd be leaving
Let me in jump up the timeline to currents events
I went around the world twice on award tours, it never ends
Mike Will did, but others didn't make it
Others still hungry, so the others gonna take it
Shit is basic when you put it in the pot and let it simmer
Like the sun been setting later in the summer than the winter shit
Where I'm from I keep the oven sizzling
I cut my teeth at Venice Beach then hit my peoples with some of the wisdom
