Caffeine lyrics

Play for keeps
Yo, I got twenty-four bars to heal these scars
I`m an 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 LA, it`s hard to get star struck
Born in LA, so I always keep my guard up
Born in LA, plus deal where I stay
Everyday cats like Julio G pave the way
My crews thick, all sharp, take a pick
All ready to spit or sit down and write a hit
We learn both from the best on both coasts
Couldn`t stress enough for the times, we kill chose
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 bull pit
This is it, we`re up and running, torch is lit
Prepare for marathons, we don`t sprint
I save my crew`s name for last, injections lethal
It`s LA`s finest y`all, it`s Dilated Peoples

(Chorus) 2x
And y`all can`t sleep now
Play for keeps
We play for keeps now
Y`all can`t sleep

(Bridge) 2x
There`s people you know
There`s people you don`t
There`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 chasing me down with little clues
It`s Dilated from Los 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
Twenty-six years young when I wrote this down
My whole life ahead of me, I was `lone in my town
Things started to change and started to stretch
The farther away I went the closer to home I started to get
My actions cause reactions
Some love and 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` Bicardi
This is it, the cats worked hard to have things
Here to keep the party up, I rap caffeine
I save my crew`s name for last, injections lethal
It`s LA`s finest, it`s Dilated Peoples

(Chorus) 2x
(Bridge) 4x
