Caffeine - Dilated Peoples

Yo I got 24 bars to heal these scars

I’m a underground cat but still like money and cars

I’ll introduce myself, check it out, ladies and gentlemen

The one and only Evidence servin' up your medicine

Varsity letterman, E on my coat

Every time I touch the paper, it’s murder he wrote

I’m from a real big city called watch where you go

A place you think you know only to find out you don’t

Born in L.A. it’s hard to get star struck

Born in L.A. so I always keep my guard up

Born in L.A. plus still where I stay

Everyday, cats like Julio G paved the way

Me crew’s thick, all sharp, take a pick

All ready to spit or sit down and write a hit

We learned both from the best on both coasts

Couldn’t stress enough all the times we’ve killed shows

(Bounce) Problem here, problem there, got through 'em

Label here, label there, politics and bullshit

We rip, the mic’s cocked back, a full clip

I don’t preach I rap, I’m on stage, this ain’t a pulpit

This is it, we’re up and runnin', torches lit

Prepare for marathons, we don’t sprint

I save my crew’s name for last, injection’s lethal

It’s L.A.'s finest y’all, it’s Dilated Peoples

Y’all can’t sleep now («I rap caffeine»)

Play for keeps, we play for keeps now («I rap caffeine»)

Y’all can’t sleep, y’all can’t sleep now («I rap caffeine»)

Play for keeps, we play for keeps now («I rap caffeine»)

It’s people you know, it’s people you don’t

It’s people involved that shouldn’t be, you gotta keep close

It’s people you know, it’s people you don’t

It’s people involved that shouldn’t be, you gotta keep close

I got that flow for the street

Stay ahead of the time, stay behind the beat

It’s not what you know but what you can prove

Everyday they keep chasin' me down with little clues

It’s Dilated, from Lost Angels

You didn’t know, friends make better music than strangers

So far I’ve been misunderstood

Wherever I fall, I make the category look good

26 years young when I wrote this down

My whole life ahead of me, I was known in my town

Things started to change and started to stretch

The farther away I went the closer to home I started to get

(Yeah) My actions cause reaction

Some love or hate shit (I don’t ask) It just happens

Either or, we came to get it started

Before the show find me at the bar drinkin' Bacardi

This is it, cats worked hard to have things

Here to keep the party up, I rap caffeine

I save my crew’s name for last, injection’s lethal

It’s L.A.'s finest, it’s Dilated Peoples

Y’all can’t sleep now («I rap caffeine»)

Play for keeps, we play for keeps now («I rap caffeine»)

Y’all can’t sleep, y’all can’t sleep now («I rap caffeine»)

Play for keeps, we play for keeps now («I rap caffeine»)

It’s people you know, it’s people you don’t

It’s people involved that shouldn’t be, you gotta keep close

It’s people you know, it’s people you don’t

It’s people involved that shouldn’t be, you gotta keep close

It’s people you know, it’s people you don’t

It’s people involved that shouldn’t be, you gotta keep close

It’s people you know, it’s people you don’t

It’s people involved that shouldn’t be, you gotta keep close
