THE PHARCYDE - Evolution lyrics

[Slimkid3]

Yo..inhale, exhale

Been a long time coming, still a long way to go

Evolution of manhood

Evolution, revolution

[Slimkid3]

Born with sight but became sightless

Rehabilitated visions from being frightened

In the dark, just bits of light when

Lightning sparks, thunder rumbled

Chasing courage from the heart

Searching for solitude without a solitary card

Knees bleeding but proceeding to pray to God

Forever humble but before a man boys stumble

Before there was peace vast lands had crumbled

Apart - from the truth a great distance

Met with many guides to provide assistance

To shorten that distance with me and the Maker

The mind was overthrown by the Undertaker

The Devil's a faker, see he lied to me

Singing sweet sad songs to mesmerise

But my eyes have seen four dimensions

Now gather your strength for all these bad intentions

[Bootie Brown/Frank Fiction]

That you seem to get when you get a little older

Days a lot colder, used to cry upon my mama's shoulder

Til pop finalised it, I analysed it, can fantasize

With your manhood, make your plan good

With the back up, unfortunately niggas act up

Seems to be no solution, too many facing execution

Then I know many ready to leave the revolution

On their evolution to manhood, manhood

[Chorus 2X: Diana Brooks]

When a boy becomes a man

Takes time to understand

The ways of the world today

[Chorus: Pharcyde]

Step by step, day by day

Don't let the negative vibes lead the 'Cyde astray

We keep the positive vibes till everything is okay

On the evolution to manhood, to manhood

[Imani/Citizen Strange]

We realised it then re-devised it then excercised it

Got connected and we checked and it's correct

That the soul extends far beyond this fleshy existence

The rest is still trapped in ignorance, giving resistance

From a distance, interference from far away

But neither Tim nor Anfernee had a harder way

On getting here, I'm spitting clear

Connecting with the energies from near and far away

Karma, karma come back like a riccochet

To hit ya so I'm coming with the scripture

For the fixture, get the picture?

[Chorus]
