Evidence - Off Top lyrics

[Verse One] This is something I designed for the mind And in the hood, you gotta be nice with the nine Nine meaning nine numbers I've been doing this here, let's get this clear Serving you cats for nine summers Freestyles can be the gift and the curse As soon as I spit it, they bit it the worst Everything I'm sayin' is real, I'm livin' a verse Ever since 9/11 I've been livin' and lurkin' Don't cross my path cause you don't want the outcome By Any Means Necessary like the brother Malcolm I really don't know where to begin You gotta know the ins and outs before you get in The most dedicated And it's clearly stated Most of my crimes have always been rhyme related ?? period dot spot The best that ever did it that's naturally off top [Scratch Hook] "Shootin' at you, and that's off the top like Supernatural" - Big Pun 'New York Giants' "I call it like I see it on stage like Supernatural" Dilated Peoples 'Heavy Rotation' That's off top [Verse Two] See I'm a trooper man I got a super plan They left me in the cornfield like I was Super Man But I ain't Super Man, it's just a Supernat And half the cats now-a-days is super wack Under pressure I was feelin' the heat Took it back to basic, did some sh** for the street Spit for my life cause my son gotta eat And it was once said that d**h was the cousin of sleep So I stay on my grind till I'm plating my shine I'm talkin' 2-4-7 and 3-6-5 What you know 'bout stayin' up late night? Doin' it 20 times just to get the tape right Valedictorian servin' you soph*mores Hold the mic in my right but you switch it to south paw Keep my title in a 12 round bout I be the real Supernatural so yo, check it out [Hook] [Verse Three] Spit fighter Rhyme gladiator I don't hate the game I hate the player hater I know some super MC's and ill freestylers That's vicious like Pits and lock like Rottweilers I pop necks, I don't pop collars Freestyle sold on my block for top dollar Loved by thugs and street scholars Remember the words of my dear old father He said "Don't stop till you make it to the top" G's up "And that's off the top like Supernatural" And to the ones that fake it that said I'd never make it Freeze up "And that's off the top like Supernatural" Too much faking, k**in' you counterfeiters I roll with fly go-getters and large heavy hitters This is all real, I'm never pretending If you think this is the end, this is only the beginning [Hook]
