[Verse 1: Evidence]
Cause they do hard in the paint
Describe pain like angst
I hit a nerve like hypes'll hit a vein
Undecided if I'll ride or refrain
Through the night I'm on the side of them trains
Lifting up what I don't touch
Designer the same
In the line of fire is fortune and fame
(So let your thoughts fly away)
[Verse 2: Rakaa Iriscience]
From the Angel City politics
Heaven's what they call it
But there's angry spirits haunting it
I need a break from all of it
Empty promises
And COINTELPRO policy legacies put us all at risk
Punch the code in place where the passport's safe
The mind travels continents from L.A
(So let your thoughts fly away)
[Verse 3: Evidence]
On my block they said stacks are king
So once I got a couple stacks
I started packing things
Venice on the map is the jack that rings
Moving through a new town a day
I kick the ground up
They found
Hear the sound displayed
Once I hit the stage rounds are made
(So let your thoughts fly away)
[Bridge]
[Verse 4: Rakaa Iriscience]
I meditate before I open my eyes
And visualize mercy on my enemies
Then I rise
I guess I'm praying in my own way
Sight tracing the sunshine
Illuminate my son's face
Or beaming from my son's mind
Cutting through dark clouds even when the sky's grey
Dreaming even though we're wide awake
(Let your thoughts...)
[Verse 5: Evidence]
Say what's in your heart
'Til the clock tics don't move
Between the hourglass sand
I've been zoning on cruise
So check it out
A world premier
And this my "moment of truth"
No fear
I kept devoted, then from going insane
The coldest road is now heating up the snow and the rain
Between the heavens 'til I'm boarding the plane
(So let your thoughts fly away)
[Verse 6: Rakaa Iriscience]
To a better place that was or will be
Why don't you fear death?
You say life is trying to kill me
Climb higher, you're still free
Free your mind
And explore the masterpiece that's outside of the frame lines
Sightsee at the same time
The world is in range
And it's strange
The only constant is change
(So let your thoughts fly away)
