The Layover Lyrics by Evidence

The Layover Mixtape

2008

[Verse 1]
Not a worry in the world when I started
Still young and restless
Hurry up and wait
Tell my people nowadays a missed call is just as good as a message
We've come a long way from brick phones to flip phones
I remember the day my homie Freck-one had the first chip phone
We was callin' long distance, runnin' up corporation's tabs
Like goddamn, the world gone mad
And little did I know and did he know
We was not gonna see the future together now, here no more (Rest in peace)
'93 was not til' infinity, '93 was more like 20 years of legacy
In Venice Beach, Santa Monica, Freck-One ring bells
Jade-one, they know the name well still
They goin' huntin'
There's 8 million stories in the city
They forgot the 4 million in the country
I'm going where the people want me (Worldwide)

[Chorus]
Uh
This is the layover
Airport hanger, 6 hours with a hangover
I bang over the best when I fly, we gon' ride
Got my peoples on my side
It's to the sky (Worldwide)

[Verse 2]
Let's call the whole thing off
Nah, I call your bluff
If you callin' it luck
I'm up to no good, I'm up to something
I'm plottin', my peoples still come first, I never pass the buck
I never asked for nothing I couldn't get back, even during set backs
I called everyday, your dough's on the way
When it comes, I'mma put something on top, make sure you get that (With interest)
Don't forget about the rain, the Sun's up now
But when it's wet, I'm back in my lane
Don't forget about the pain
I ain't been the same since April '04
This shit is insane, not a game, this a limited run
Don't second-guess an operation from an armchair son of a gun
Loudest in the room ain't the smartest in the building
Quitting while I'm ahead ain't the same as quitting, is it? (Worldwide)
