Panic

(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 person

doesn't do that makes him a hero. But I'm about to

step the fuck up.

(Evidence w/ 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, your the one who's chosen

Panic, adrenaline rush. Master mechanic

Play your position, blow wigs back with cannons

Colors of rythym. No options left to chose from

Cooperation can cock thoughts that's grouseme

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

(Iriscience)

Uh-oh. You feel that? That's the croud staring

That's the spotlights that shine that damn near blind

Sing a swim-time kid. What's your first line?

(Evidence w/ 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 is 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 terror dome

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 cannibus chance dodging felonies

Melt my trees with heat. Guns the remedy

Do what I do? You might panic and call emergency

(Evidence)

Set your own standards. Not everybody can do what we do

We can't do what everybody else does. Alot 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

(Evidence)

Panic. Abondoned 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 its 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. Coming from the fast

High-tech shit so feel the blast

Catch the wordplay, hype sends the survey

Instead of stripclub chop meats Monday through Thursday

Friday through Sunday. Blown off the runway

Ev the Weatherman use words instead of gunplay

Perfect caintance, can't catch on radar

Speak the truth yo don't run with traitors

Equator hot. The artic cold

Everything between turns to green and gets sold

"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"

(DJ Babu Scratching)

"Push 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 deathwish"

"Panic"
