[Intro: Evidence]

The difference between a hero and a coward? There is no difference

One time or another everyone's felt fear

It's what one person does that the other doesn't do that makes him a hero

But I'm about to step the fuck up

[Verse 1: Evidence & Iriscience]

Yo panic y'all

Back against the wall, feel the pressure

No way out, situation getting closer

Time is ticking, walls are closin'

Options narrow now, you're the one that's chosen

Panic, adrenaline rush, master mechanic

Play your position, blow wigs back with cannons

Colors of rhythm, no options left to choose from

Cooperation can cock thoughts that's gruesome

Like, Glock for murder with three strikes in Houston

Or foreign countries that chop fingers for boosting

Main objective—don't become an example

Either run or get ran, stampede or get trampled

I spit hard and respect my guard

Got vision like x-ray, that's how I read your card

Yo we got the upper hand and still play by the book

The truth? It's always the last place you look

That's right here

[Interlude: Iriscience]

Uh-oh. You feel that? That's the croud staring

That's the spotlights that shine that damn near blind

Sink or swim time kid. What's your first line?

[Verse 2: Evidence & Iriscience]

I spit hardcore, menace to flows

Time to panic for crews who don't rehearse for shows

'Cause yo, this year it's time to reclaim game

Used to sit up in the shadows and rebel against fame

Until my peep worded me up

Might have the mightest touch

And the only way to find out, to blow the fuck up

I listened, put that thought under my wing and in my brainstem

Now I think ink can bleed through paint pens

Or spray cans, dodging trains, it's the panic zone

East L.A to the beach, welcome to the terrordome

When the feelings gone, here comes artillery

To penetrate my zone takes a mind of a military

Blown off exotic trees from Yosemite

California's cannabis champ, dodging felonies

Melt my trees with heat, gun's the remedy

Do what I do? You might panic and call emergency

[Interlude: Evidence]

Set your own standards. Not everybody can do what we do

We can't do what everybody else does

A lot of people get comfortable playing follow the leader

But if you want to see change, you need to be the leader to follow

Let's make it happen

[Verse 3: Evidence]

Yo, panic, abandon ship, iceberg Titanic

Time to steal fans from other groups they take for granted

The way we came up, nothing was handed

So when we drop the mic, it's hot

Pick it up, you might get branded

Might not like your plane the way we land it

But get the job done and then some, so panic

And it ain't the last, hungry from the fast

High-tech shit so feel the blast

Catch the wordplay, hype says the survey

Instead of strip clubs, chop meats Monday through Thursday

Friday through Sunday, blown off the runway

Ev' the Weatherman, use words instead of gunplay

Perfect cadence, can't catch on radar

Speak the truth yo, don't run with traitors

Equator hot, the Arctic cold

Where everything between turns to green and gets sold

The earth, you better panic y'all

"I remember when we used to have four seasons Now it's just like one

One season all year long man

Let's take care of this place"

[Scratches: DJ Babu]

"What's the panic button shit, it's"

"Evidence"

"I can kill it from the West Coast to the Atlantic."

"Evidence. Oh. Evidence. Yeah"

"Worldwide respected, so give me mines or meet your death wish"

"Panic"
