Never Grow Up
The Alchemist feat. Evidence Lyrics

I play the low end, you never know
I am skilled in playing the bass, but you may not be aware of it

You probably never heard of me
It is likely that you are unfamiliar with my work

My hands'll never shake
I have steady hands

It's steady hand surgery
Performing with precision and control, like a surgeon

Already banished as courtesy
I have already been viewed as an outsider, but it's a courtesy

DMC didn't need it then I'll be MC
I don't need the title of DMC, I am satisfied being an MC

E-V proceeded by the B-A-B-U
I am followed by E-V and B-A-B-U, talented individuals

A-L-C and no mothafuckin' take two
I am A-L-C and there are no second chances

Mistakes do happen and I ain't afraid to keep 'em either
I am not afraid to accept and acknowledge my mistakes

Add 'em with a little pain and leave 'em with the smell of reefer
I mix my mistakes with some pain and leave a lasting impression

A padded room with the cell receiver
My mind is like a padded room, connected to the outside world

Odd thoughts from a rhyme that you could tell is even
I express unconventional thoughts through my balanced lyrics

I ain't tell 'em either
I choose not to disclose certain information

I did tell 'em listen
I did urge them to pay attention

Didn't tell 'em givens
I didn't reveal what was already known

But did sell the seeders
However, I did inspire and sell my ideas

I say it like I seen repeaters
I speak from witnessing repeated patterns

I seen 'em come and go selling out theaters
I have witnessed artists rise and fall, achieving popularity

Too back peddling back they caught me dealing
Unfortunately, they discovered my illicit activities

Better sell it in scraps and never seen a ceiling
I should sell my product in small quantities and aim for limitless success

Sell a feeling for derivative exposure
I market emotions to gain exposure for my art

I'm a think tank and driven like a No Limit soldier
I am highly intellectual and motivated, just like a soldier from No Limit

There is no gimmick to this closure
My approach lacks any cheap tricks or gimmicks

Just a image with a fork ridden over
I have an image that has been influenced and shaped by my experiences

Just a vision of the finish line
I only have a clear goal in mind

Energy ascends, that is cinema within a sign
My energy and presence are captivating, like a cinematic spectacle

Rap sitting on the bench like it's dinner time
Rap music is temporarily on the sidelines, waiting to take the spotlight

Major events, I'm getting mine
I am determined to achieve success in significant events
