Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(I annihilate your type if you violate)
The beginning, yeah
(I annihilate your type if you violate)
You know
(I annihilate your type if you violate)
Never, it's never too late to start over
(I annihilate your type if you violate)
[Verse 2]
Yeah, yo, yo, yo
I'm the type to sneak into your dorm and get shit warm
I'm the type to spit on microphones and leave 'em deformed
Babu cuts into Alchemist instrumentals
Gemini, this Twin Peaks like David Lynch do (Or does)
Bustin' off for every place I been though
I'm hard to see through, like lodges with no windows
Sparks the beginning of the end of the dark
See, I flood the stage hard, now you swimmin' with sharks
Rappers are cocky, but on the low, I know they watch me
'Cause weapons in my music like I'm El Mariachi
Or Desperado, pushin' at full throttle
Rock till I'm hoarse, like broncos from Colorado
[Verse 3]
(I annihilate your type if you violate)
We are the peoples from the crew they call the Dilated
(I annihilate your type if you violate)
Poppin' science, world famous Babu
[Verse 4]
Yo, my weed stays fresh in the jar when the lid's tight
Reminiscing on memories from last midnight
Time constraints why I hate music biz
I counterpunch clocks, pay no attention what time it is
Chop shit, bend notes, clear no samples
Drop my thoughts quick on Sony audio handheld
Delve and breaks heat will take it to the streets
What up to Rhett and Carlos, all peeps at Fat Beats
Street sweep, strip the lock after we rock
The world is in my hand, but I'm in Pandora's box
Think the bigger picture is how I write my scripture
An immediate response or maybe later it'll hit ya
[Verse 5]
(I annihilate your type if you violate)
(I'll annihilate your type)
I'm horror science from the crew they call the Dilated
(I annihilate your type if you violate)
Evidence, I'm from the crew called Dilated
(I annihilate your type if you violate)
We are the peoples from the crew they call the Dilated
(I annihilate, I annihilate your type if you violate)
[Verse 6]
Never test my integrity or doubt I'm learnin' lessons
I'm the type of person always be the last to leave the session
It's etched in stone, I'm mics with headphones
My mind's a midi-clock latchin' on to tones
My demeanor can't be shattered, I'm followed by the man
I follow through a fully executed blueprint plan
[Verse 7]
I grab a crate for my DJ and work with a can
I rock a break for the people till the girls wanna dance
I don't need jewels to shine, just bring the flow
Besides, I keep losin' all my rings at shows
The way things are lookin', even Heaven is crooked
And if your lighter's missing, maybe Evidence took it
[Verse 8]
This is Ev, leave a message
Have a good day
Have a good day?
Yo, how many lighters you got in your pocket right now, man?
That shit is wrong, you do this every time
[Verse 9]
(I annihilate your type if you violate) I annihilate
If you violate my crew
(I annihilate your type if you violate)
Dilated, yeah, yeah, that's us, that's how we doin' it
Horror science, Evidence, DJ Babu
(I annihilate your type if you violate)
Uh, Alchemist
We rockin' the old world, the new world
(I annihilate your type if you violate)
Everywhere on the map, it's lookin' smaller and smaller
Yo
