  there's a lot of cats didn't see this one comin
  lotta cats not gon' understand
  never saw the path that we walked
  you run that joint you did on the radio that night
  (oh) let people know, do this one for the interviews
  do it for the people, years in the making
  
  [evidence]
  yo, my first verse, from '90 to '94
  mostly peepin cats' styles out and hittin the floor
  a little bit, in '91 that's when we got down
  different sides of town, on the bus i made rounds
  i was involved in graffiti heavily
  my people were self, tau and freck rip
  at night i heard beats next door by qd iii
  inspiration, destiny, ev producer/mc
  now at this point, my face wasn't known and unfamilar
  and when you look how i do, most cats won't say they feel ya
  so i was mostly, humbled by rejection
  but in my heart, i knew my shit would always pass inspection
  correction, travel east and hit the inner section
  hip hop shop to rock, blow the spot wit hex and pen one
  also iristyle, a cat who worked there
  i said "i wanna bust first" he said "it's all fair"
  i went, he went, you can't beat em, join em
  i said "as a team in the game, we'll leave em maimed"
  he agreed, so we did till '94
  till we had to change our name from the one we had before
  now at this point, we were five years in the making
  previously vain, graffiti oriented, breakin
  from cops to shop owners, rack and paint, stealin sketch books
  mad vinyl, designs in corridors
  then it was mics, mixers, tracks, and greenbacks
  kingston, 12 gear and equipment on racks
  imagery battlehymns
  whattup to kendall, swift, and redman
  everyone who helped bounce checks, but not my plan (sorry)
  business and friends, this was my first introduction
  how foul it is when it comes to this biz
  of music, 1995 was mad confusin
  '6 it cleared up, independent geared up
  peace to ben, 'fari, and alchemist
  third degree type heat, brought on babu to complete the list
  dis the doors, more red but on tours
  the territories come, blunts burn our damn floors
  since '98, shit's been lookin more bright
  work the angles round the globe from main events at night
  '99 approach millennium, the platform will drop
  evidence, iriscience, babu, the world gets shocked!
  
  [iriscience] (evidence)
  haha! yeah!
  we sendin this out to every obstacle that made us stronger
  (that's right) uh-huh
  sendin this out to the poison that made the antidote
  dilated wild style
  evidence, that's all you need to know
  years in the making,
  (what's goin on, ten years in the making)
  years in the making, how many? (ten)
  (almost) ten years in the making
  shit, it's overnight right? (not really) we'll see
