The Last Line Of Defense Lyrics - The Platform - Dilated Peoples

"The last line of defense" 

[Evidence] 

Feel the pressure... 

Yo you better plan ahead, gather your thoughts 

I'm not gonna be the one wit no chair when the music stops 

The Orange Agent, has just moved to your block 

And gone headhunting, blame Herbie Hancock 

Hard to get at, yo vocally serious 

Never stress myself out, treat songs like interludes 

Drum patterns are primitive 

Evidence, the derivitive 

Of what the late '80s and early '90s had to give 

Dilated Peoples, far from tentative 

Caress this microphone, stay home and take your sedative 

Yo I know our Platform is built on strong foundation 

My Last Line of Defense, I keep a ace in the hole 

On patrol, so balanced with no topic 

The Weatherman lands at high noon, ready to drop shit 

Could freestyle better or maybe rap faster 

But soundclash wit us (Don't do that) 

You flirt with disaster 

"Evidence of the war" [Inspectah Deck] 

"Don't ever lose sight of this fact" [Defari] 

The last line of defense 

"Evidence" "When it comes to blood and rap, it's lyrical combat" [Defari] 

(Back up in it) 

The Sagittarius with flows in various 

Types of pipes, and green to keep me hype 

At thirty-thousand feet, yo my heart starts poundin 

So I rarely fly, intentional grounding 

Make my rounds to towns, kill em in order 

I'm equipped to blow shows and turn kids out wit corners 

(With ease) I flow slow like growth on palm trees 

And set trends more than femmes could split ends 

I'm makin power moves 

In fact, as I speak now 

Do my best to re-enforce the motto "Milk the cow" 

Make that dough for too many's the main concern 

I say make the right music, then your money's earned 

Share the wealth with Babu and Iriscience 

My death might be a tragedy, my life will be a triumph 

Go focus on the star, the man who won the Heisman 

Trophy would be broken, forget it, credit the linesman 

"Evidence of the war" 

"Don't ever lose sight of this fact" 

The last line of defense 

"When it comes to blood and rap, it's lyrical combat" 

The last line of defense 

"Evidence" "Don't ever lose sight of this fact" 

The last line of defense 

"When it comes to blood and rap, it's lyrical combat" 

The last line of defense 

Yo critique my mic techniques live, I carthage this 

You didn't think I had what it takes in my esophagus? 

A cat like you, yo your show sounds hot for real 

Of course it does, standin still 

Yo I dig your little pace, you're walkin forth at best 

At that rate, on tour dates, I hope you never run outta breath 

I'm Evidence, Mike Peretta, head commander 

Both of my names like Gary Shandling's Larry Sanders 

When I say now, this will take out in an instant 

Wherever I go, my caravan goes/Gogh's like Vincent 

But Ev at Princeton, they won't follow good 

So I shock this microphone and split a tree trunk to hollow wood 

The last line of defense, set your prescedence 

Set your standard, make it known you own your throne 

Yo, the last is when you hit em just enough to leave a gash 

In time, the wound will heal, rest assure they'll make it known 

Who threw the heat and felt the blast 

Who gave the answers and what questions are asked 

Are your favorite artists boring you? That shit don't make sense 

Call Evidence The Last Line Of Defense 

"Evidence of the war" 

"Don't ever lose sight of this fact" 

The last line of defense 

"Evidence" "When it comes to blood and rap, it's lyrical combat" 

The last line of defense 

"Evidence of the war" 

"Don't ever lose sight of this fact" 

The last line of defense 

"When it comes to blood and rap, it's lyrical combat" 

The LAST!
