Evolution 03:33
Intro: [Triple H:] "Today marks the beginning of a new era. You see, in this industry - just like in life - everything evolves. And what you see in this ring before you is the greatest example of Evolution you will ever see.” Verse One: I walk in a line of sand, looking back at where I stand, footprints and shadows, the emperor has some new clothes! That means I got the new foes, like ’04 plus a decade, I just wanna flourish like Ya Boy Mars & Microwave. So, watch my fade like Spice Adams, what’s up wit it? What’s happenin’? Paradoxical, illogical – no shortcuts possible! Probable cause – to be here talking to all y’all, about the change in waves, change in time, don’t let this pass you by… Hook: Don’t let this pass you by, you better adapt or perish! Don’t let this pass you by, you better collapse or cherish! Don’t let this pass you by, you better adapt or perish! Don’t let this pass you by, you better collapse or cherish! (Evolution…) Verse Two: Came in like a sponge, had a bunch of questions like “What’s what?”, like “Who’s who?” “Why is why?” How do you gain a third eye? When is the time, where is the place? That’s a ScHoolboy with a Blank Face. How do I make a snap judgment? Of them here with a big budget? With the physical, with the mental, trying to take big notes with a small pencil! Had to switch to a BIC pen, saw the smoke and they let me in. I came to damage shit, like I sunk your battleship. Like B1 to B2 – that’s a S.O.S – what the fuck you gonna do? [Hook] Verse Three: Had to win some to lose some, from the friendships to the family, I was all in like Archie Bunker, blindsided like Stevie Wonder. Yesterday was so long ago, don't agree - with what I know. Does tomorrow have a spot for me? Am I destined for this history? Living the sins of my sins, then I got sins on more sins, that’s more sins on top sins – that’s that 6-6-6 sin! Flip it – that’s a 9-9-9 win! Bat 1,000 – that’s a hell of a twist! Evolution of sense? That’s the Evolution of nonsense. [Hook] Outro: [Triple H:] “Evolution always continues and you have to look to the future. You see, in life, everything happens for a reason. It’s just the natural process of evolution. You see, and if you don't have what it takes, that evolution will leave you behind. So, if you wake up one day, and you’re lying in a hospital bed, and you’re all beat up and you’re wondering to yourself, “What in the hell happened?” Then there’s just one answer for you: Evolution has just passed you by.”

[Verse 1:] Have you ever had a battle with yourself? Had a battle with your wealth? Had a battle with your mental health? With the mental, it’s never so simple, to pick up the pieces, while you walkin’ on the beaches. Sand in the feet don’t make the cycle complete, and, uh – you ain’t serene with low self-esteem. I just wanna dream about my goals and aspirations, damn a 9 to 5, I ain’t got no more patience! Calm before the storm, not warm in my house, just wanna break free and forget my whereabouts. Searchin’ like Roy Ayers, trying to say my prayers, talkin’ to the lord, so I don’t check in the ward! I ain’t crazy for the babies yet, cause the ladies ain’t flock my way - man, I don’t fret! I don’t sweat techniques of critiques, but I aim to sweep these heaps of the leaps. Scratching and-a clawing, for the mornings I can function, trying not to break down, something like destruction. I’m disgusted at what I’ve become, priorities I run from, no longer the Prodigal Son. [Hook:] [KJ:] You give me purpose, give me meaning, kindle for fire. [BDaMan:] I love the bits of the hustle. Why? There’s beauty in the struggle! [KJ:] You give me purpose, give me meaning, kindle for fire. [BDaMan:] I love the bits of the hustle. Why? There’s beauty in the struggle! [Verse 2:] Beauty runs in everything, the air to the ground, the lights to the sound and the suburb to the town. I just wanna be where I get my peace, silencio, silence – whipping with the license! So-and-so is talking to me, I be like (Hey!) I do not relate to your speech and what you say! I don’t care at all, I can’t fake it today – your attitude and views with me – do not resonate! Keeping up with appearances – like all the Kardashians and Jenners, I thought I was a winner. Something like Beck, the loser, thought I could fool ya, searchin’ for my tribe like Boo-Yaa! Searching for peace like the 70s, all the medallions, you talkin’ to the low key rapscallion. Got a plan like parenthood, so what’s not spoken on doesn’t really need to be understood! [Hook:] [KJ:] You give me purpose, give me meaning, kindle for fire. [BDaMan:] I love the bits of the hustle. Why? There’s beauty in the struggle! [KJ:] You give me purpose, give me meaning, kindle for fire. [BDaMan:] I love the bits of the hustle. Why? There’s beauty in the struggle! [Bridge:] [KJ:] You give me...you give me...you give me...kindle for fire. [BDaMan:] Woop, Woop! Bits of the hustle! Woop, woop! Beauty in the struggle! [KJ:] You give me...you give me...you give me...kindle for fire. [BDaMan:] Woop, Woop! Bits of the hustle! Woop, woop! Beauty in the struggle - c'mon!

[Intro]: Culchr ENT...'tis the season... [Verse One]: The Mack is back, handling business, whole lot to say, in only a few minutes. Can I have your time? Can you get up off your phone, so you can hear my lines? Got you surprised, got you shook, cause “Ain’t no such thang” as…(Halfway Crooks!) Ha! – I ain’t stressin’, stopped all the trippin’, breathing easier and staying busier. Uh – Got some energy, a few enemies, better friends and brothers, not chasing lovers. They ain’t chasing me, so why chase them? I ain’t ducking em, more like “Chris Tucker” em. Rush Hour, devour, I bring the war, flip that shit, you know I goes Raw. Mondays to Fridays, Tuesdays to Thursdays…(It ain’t no big thing!) [Hook]: It ain’t nothing…Why you gotta make it something? It ain’t nothing…Making something outta nothing! It ain’t nothing…Why you gotta make it something? It ain’t nothing…It ain’t no big thing! [Verse Two]: When you see me smiling, I’m shining, Mer-cedes teeth and all, while I’m grinding. Coffee, cappuccino, wanna be the boss like De Niro, Scar ya Face like Pacino. Goodfella on Any Given Sunday, skip the services, hit the Good Friday. (Preach!) Sinatra, Bizkit, already spit it, so I say it, played it, spayed it, mace it! They be lyin'! Hit you with another one. They be tryin'! To win all the other ones. Can’t win ‘em all, can’t impress the rest, can’t trust ‘em all, play it close to the chest. Acquaintances, friendships, sink like Titanic, in the Atlantic. Years pass, they come and go, but you know… (It ain’t no big thing!) [Hook]: It ain’t nothing…Why you gotta make it something? It ain’t nothing…Making something outta nothing! It ain’t nothing…Why you gotta make it something? It ain’t nothing…It ain’t no big thing! [Verse Three]: Keep in touch with your feelings, they don’t want you all up in em, trying to kill ‘em. They say, “He’s too sensitive”, so here’s how many fucks I give! #1 – Big heart from the big man, if my mama didn’t have it, I would be a heartless man. #2 – I trust too much, you hurt too hard from the scars you touched. #3 – I gets defensive, you on the offense and I hits my switch. #4 – They told me not to rap no more, it’s another year gone, I been going strong! #5 – Up your supply, don’t worry about mine, I’m gon’ be fine! #6 – Here’s the twist – Now, that I’m grown – I don’t give a shit! [Hook]: It ain’t nothing…Why you gotta make it something? It ain’t nothing…Making something outta nothing! It ain’t nothing…Why you gotta make it something? It ain’t nothing…It ain’t no big thing! [Hook]: It ain’t nothing…Why you gotta make it something? It ain’t nothing…Making something outta nothing! It ain’t nothing…Why you gotta make it something? It ain’t nothing…It ain’t no big thing!

Infobahn 02:21
[Intro]: [Psychotherapist Patrik Wincent:] “Before I start, I would like everybody to take out their phones. Pick it up. And don’t worry, you’re all going to get your phones back – so, don’t worry about it, okay? Put your phones back into your pockets…and take a deep breath.” [Verse One]: Fake philosophers, fake politicians, fake activists who got they own vision. They all fishing for the likes and shares, funny comments, no clout to bear! Adding to the black and white divide, they get to fussing when you don’t pick a side. But you decide – to upload that selfie of your smiling face, wanna take your place! We see the Highlight Reel with the Happy Meal, we don’t see that life that you conceal! Behind the memes, behind the scenes, it seems – you ain’t satisfied with your life genes! All the things you posting? Sounds like a diary – with some winery. If you don’t want no questions when we looking, for the love of god - stop vaguebooking. [Hook]: Don’t let the internet trap you online, cause you might end up wasting your time! Don’t let the internet trap you online, cause you might end up wasting your time! Don’t let the internet trap you online, cause you might end up wasting your time! Don’t let the internet trap you online, cause you might end up wasting your time! (Infobahn!) Verse Two: So-and-so is a relationship, engagement ship, pregnac-ship. All the silly photos, they rub it in ya face, all the status updates, all over the place. They talkin’ how they off, then they on – like a clapper, posting all that drama, there’s bound to be laughter! Get a room for the drama and the baggage, for the wreckage – shit you can’t savage! You ain’t got no friends? That’s what happen when the time you spend is on the internet! How could I forget the ones all about their work? All up on they pages while they paid to work! I’m so berserk at these tendencies, with amenities, that have no remedies. Can’t forget about the Henny, liq, weed posts, where’s your sense in these posts you wrote? [Hook]: Don’t let the internet trap you online, cause you might end up wasting your time! Don’t let the internet trap you online, cause you might end up wasting your time! (Infobahn!) [Verse Three/Outro]: Double standards and hypocrisy, [there’s] too much stock in astrology. It’s Men II Boyz and Women II Girlz, that’s regression in the fifth dimension. Ease the tension by taking a break, of the internet bars – for your brain’s sake. BDa love the kids, but keep ‘em off the internet, please don’t leave memories filled with so much disrespect!

[Hook]: If we alike, then our stars might collide, we might reach demise, we might not survive! If we stay different, ain’t none of the bickering, ain’t none of the ignorance, ain’t none of the gibberish. We ain’t the same! We ain’t the same! We ain’t the same! We ain’t the same! (‘Cause) We ain’t the same! (‘Cause) We ain’t the same! (‘Cause) We ain’t the same! (‘Cause) We ain’t the same! [Verse One]: No two are the same up in the world, everyone’s a prototype, based on an archetype. Built from the nature and the nurture, ‘cause patience is a virtue, balance cooler with the burner. They be talking Culchr, don’t got the C-H, R – cause they do it for the what? No bars. We ain’t like the sisters and the brothers, and the many of the others, taking shame under covers. Shame on a n’other who tried to play game on a n’other, take pride in your rise, forget the suckas! The many and the plenty who don’t get it, misconstrue what you do, they never get it. Never seem to take the time, quicker to be judge, biased ass jury who be thinking you “too much”. Moral of the story – [sum of likelihood? We be made to understand, but remain misunderstood! [Hook] Verse Two: Please don’t be ashamed at the person you are, from the scrub-os to weirdos, you are who you are! That’s a Superstar, something like Lupe, something like Saliva, something like 2 Chainz! Too many odd traits to count, too many stranger things, crazy things, those are two large amounts! The check bounced in that account, cause it was normal – we be casual (uh!) y’all be formal. Mortal be the case for the ones who follow rules, set your own pace, never take the ridicule. Pity fools who live cruel, sticks up the anal, black & white – picket fence, living life fatal. Cul-de-sacs of L7s, boxes for they lairs, don’t listen to the news – it ain’t hip to be square! This here is pretty hard to describe – here’s a invite: Adapt & Survive. [Hook] (x3)
