[Evidence:]
I sat up
Watched my people do cocaine
Way too much Scarface
They ain't showin' no shame
They ain't gettin' no sleep
When I'm grindin' okay
Stay in my lane
Stay on my rhyme til' its pro game
Stayed on my course
I played the role until one day
I said imma blow solo
They said uh-uh, no way
I love when they doubt
When hate come out they mouth
When they front
This year it seems like its just about gone, man
"4" on The Source
"XL" on XXL
I mean I let myself go first
Then brought out my A game
From Cali no doubt slang
But never did gang thangs
Just air out these tracks hard
That A-L-C bang bang
I fuck with the best
It aint a joke
I don't jest
Some do more
Some do less
Don't count my numbers like rainman
We killin' with this
Of course its the remix
Evidence, Phonte, Alchemist stay on these hits

[Chorus: Phonte]
Aiyyo I'm all about elevatin'
I'm on the grind tryin' to get mine instead of waitin'
So why you hesitatin'?
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
If you ain't got a plan
then you are not a man
If you ain't hustlin'
Then we gon' have a problem, fam
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let yourself go

[Alchemist:]
Uh, this is just what good music do
Make a nigga want to take it back to the studio
So he can remix, rewrite, reedit, renew the tools
On how to make a new verse
That's gon' make these niggas lose
They somethin' to beat
I mean I thought that they knew the rules
Sometimes I rap
Sometimes I sing like the moody blues
Back in your residence
With my nigga Evidence
And he hit the trees
Until his eyes look like Lucy Liu
Now the Alc introduce
This group of bumblin' dudes
We roll with the big dogs
You stay with the poodles who
Stay on the porch because they ain't pay they Scooby-Doos
From city to city serving these niggas like Ruby Tues'
Day in and day out
Hollin' at hoes like Voulez-vouz
Cocher avec moi
Oh fuck it lets do the dew
I'm goin' for deaf
Phonte got more on the shelf
Carolina flamethrower
Let go of yourself

[Outro: Phonte]
Aiyyo I'm all about elevatin'
I'm on the grind tryin to get mine instead of waitin'
So why you hesitatin'?
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
If you ain't got a plan
Then you are not a man
It's Evidence, A-L-C, we got a problem fam
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Uhh, Phon' Tigga, Evidence and A-L-C
Most definitely
We keep it
We run it
We do it
We gun it
My nigga Evidence (what up, what up, what up?)

[Evidence:]
It's the Weatherman, landin in your area
Who said it doesn't rain in Southern California?
Man they crazy
Stay on my grind...

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
