You Evidence

[Intro: DJ Premier & Evidence]
I'm on the Evidence Project too
We just did a banger
It's gonna be coming through
Microphone check 1, 2

[Chorus]
Who's the one that's been running the race? Me
Who's the one that's been running in place? You
And who's the one you tried to find, so tough
But the whole time, sitting right in front of your face? Yes

[Verse 1]
I'm on another level, I mean another label
Players don't die, we try our luck at other tables
And when I lose, I learn – I'm still winning major
I jump forward then back and through the missing stages
A perfect day to make a perfect entrance
A perfect sentence, I can't perfect
But I just keep pushing pencils, no fake trace stencils
Do it all by hand so they have respect
I know the feeling when you're dealing with accomplishments
Wishing they would diss you
Instead they give you compliments
That's what made you who you are, not what you became
Part of being a star is getting burned in flames
Kind of ill, the mind's a trip
20/20 when we broke but blind when rich
I just see it as a sign but kept rhyming instead
And keep lighting up these pads like Simon Says
