[Evidence] First up in flight like I studied Raleigh Same sky that I'm flying that got Buddy Holly Back from tour with the Brother Ali (Ali!) On my Fellowship shit, pumpin "5' O'Clock Follies" (I don't say something) I got something to say Sometimes I'm colorful, sometimes I'm gray We get cancer twenty times a day We're just strong enough to brush it off and kneel when we pray (Whoa...) The truth reveal what it may Tumbling Dice, Dice Raw, Dice Clay Bad cards nothing nice to play California nights a gamble but I stay They say home is where you hang your hat Well I ain't hanging up that, there's no time to relax (Keep it pushin...) Only time to react It's Dilated for life, I'd like to welcome us back Directors [Chorus: DJ Babu cuts and scratches] "I am the director, as far as you are concerned" <- MC Lyte [Rakaa Iriscience] First to light up the crumbled collie I could ride skateboards but I could never ollie Forced to war like Muhammad Ali Shape the future like cash is clay/Cassius Clay Melt time, the Salvador DalÃ, the world spins through my lens I'm focused now, thoughts wandering through my sins Fish-eye, birds-eye, Viewfinder third eye High-definition, high-resolution words fly Riots for celebrating the game Then live via satellite Laker parades Danger in the pit, are they dancing? Are they fighting? I block off the angles then adjust lighting Don't believe I touch thunder and lightning 'til they see the miracles pictures, then I'm frightening We just capture the facts Dilated never left, I'd like to welcome us back Directors [Chorus] [Outro] "On set, the director of photography is in charge of the entire production." "Just do whatever you have to do, from a behind-the-scene standpoint." "I wasn't trying to, I just know that I can do it" "I'm the director of photography" "Director of photography" "I am the director, as far as you are concerned" <- MC Lyte Directors
