Evidence - For Whom The Bell Tolls Lyrics
[will.i.am (Phonte):]
Ready or not... (Ready or not...)
Ready or not... (Ready or not...)
Ready or not... (Ready or not...)
Ready or not... (Ready or not...)
Ready or not... - It's time to go
Ready or not... - It's time to go
Ready or not... - It's time to go
[Phonte:]
Uh...
This is my last day, this is my last era
Wifey sittin front row runnin her mascara
And I'm laid out STIFF like my last pair of
Starch jeans; it seems that all my past errors
I just think the saddest part is I don't wanna go
'Cause who the hell knows for, whom the bell tolls
I was, chillin with muy peoples just, out on Melrose
With Blu and Evidence lampin in our shelltoes
Drainkin brew and tappin bitches on the el-bow
Then WHOA! - Another chapter closes well
When they start to toll, it's just yo' time to bail, yeah
[will.i.am:]
Some people live their life to die
Some people live to try, and fly, and fly sky high
Some people live their life to ride
Ride 'cause they riders, some people talk that jive
Some people live their life to lie
I live my life to open up my eyes real wide, wi-wide
Some people wanna live blind and walk the road
Oh, no - for whom the bell tolls
[Evidence:]
Uh, bells and whistles, they shootin, could smell the pistols
They never EVER hit or miss - it's the real official
Bullseye target, like New Jack Carter
The harder it gets, the more I find the market off sparkin the Flint [matches strike]
Part of me says, "Go back home"
The other half says, "Get that throne" (y'know?)
So I spit words, they read like palms
And turn directions from East to North (oh!)
We can't stop nature takin it's course
But I can report, so I stay with my hand on record
Lookin for the next future resort
To reside in a time where bell rings and people are dyin
I'll just try to escape to this place in my mind
[will.i.am:]
Some people live their life to die
Some people live to try, and fly, and fly sky high
Some people live their life to lie
I live my life to open up my eyes real wide, wi-wide
Some people wanna live blind and walk the road
Oh, no - for whom the bell tolls
[Blu:]
Aiyyo, ashes to ashes and dust to dust
R.I.P. Jay Dee, DJ Dust - this was us
Ah, back when it was cool to bust, picture us
Eighty plus, surrounded by the crowd with'out a mic to clutch
Years passed and now and then I light it up
Reflect and get inspired by the fire that's inside of us
Dealin with the yadda-yadda, by-the by-the business
Try to ditch ya like economy
(Why?) 'Cause John wasn't about to be politick-in (maaaan)
It's the middle of '08 and I still ain't heard Obama speak
'Bout problems that we face, I'm a tryna get this cheese
'Cause you never know, who shall tolls the bell's toll folk
Young folks are old folks, when it's time to go, it's time to go, folks
Stroke, croaks, cloats, and ghost
I hold hope, blow faith in your face then fade home like...
[will.i.am:]
Some people live their life to die
Some people live to try, and fly, and fly sky high
Some people live their life to ride
Ride 'cause they riders, some people talk that jive
Some people live their life to lie
I live my life to open up my eyes real wide, wi-wide
Some people wanna live blind and walk the road
Oh, no - for whom the bell tolls
Some people wanna live blind and walk the ro-
Some people wanna live blind and walk the ro-
{SOME PEOPLE WANNA LIVE BLIND AND WALK THE ROAD
OH, NO - FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS}
[Evidence:]
E-v... Blu
Khyrsis on the beat...
Phonte, uh, for whom the bell tolls...
Uh... Hello, will...
Waddup, will?
Haha... Uh, for whom, the bell tolls...
They say when it's your turn to go, it's your turn to go
So we gon' turn to music up real loud
Think about all of our people... for whom the bell tolls
George Carlin... Norman Whitfield, Isaac Hayes...

Ev Rapper Big Pooh Blue. God bless true hip hop
It's the middle of '08, and I still ain't heard obama speak 'bout problems that we facing, I'm trying to get this cheese.
Weird they would block '08. Must be Obama tapping our phones. Smoke Crack.
this a raw track
I LOST MY. SON AFTER. 14 YA SPEACIAL CONDITION,LOVE THE TUNE, I ALWAYS WANTED TO WHAT YOU AND CREW DOING, LIFE THE LIFE LOVE LOVE THE LIFE YOU LIVE
Did J Cole take inspiration from this?
I lost my grandfather last night. I pulled this EP out and this track is helping me get through these dark clouds.
L.A. Ray my condoloces 🙏
Weatherman and Layover are so dope!
Metallica is trash. Why the fuck do people even say they are good. Wu-Tang is for the children. Metallica is for ,ethnic heads and speed freaks
Metallica is cool if you are addicted to method and cannot sleep at night.
Metallica is for a bunch of sell outs.
Fuck metallica
I love Metallica as much as the next man but you fanboys that act like metal is the only genre is annoying.. One> for whom the bell tolls anyways... And anyways the title obviously has the name of the artists in it why would you click on the video knowing it's not Metallica.
dope track but fuck those white jesus and mary statues. fake ass idols
@ony pierdolony truth.
I care about how he looked,who he was and what he asked us not to do . Asian, white Jesus really? From the tribe of Judah.
@joseph moore I feel like races are work of devil to tear people apart, it really doesn't matter how he looked, only his preach is improtant
that's just your opinion. if it doeant matter then why do they have him lookin like a slave master.aka Borgia ???? enough said. enjoy the track
@joseph moore hahaha some people do I guess just like you
prolly the most uplifting song in the last few years
THIS IS THE REAL HIPHOP
Somebody please explain to me why is "middle of 08" edited out?
That makes no sense
Agreed withchyall...
If i have to give a wild guess, i'd say it was to keep the punchline untemporal..
At the time Blu wrote the sentence, Obama was Illinois Senator, not president..
So if you take away the "08", the sentence's impact is limited to Chicago.
Take away the "08", and you got a prophetic sentence applies from 09 to the end of his term..
Damn, Ev looks so sharp in a suit 😍
Sad, but yet such a strong tune. Remembering when this and the EP came out. EV did his thing.
Lewis parker
i feel like not enough people know this song exists....classic shit
Classic Album/mixtape !!
What a load of shit music where as all yhe decesnt songs gone like in the 1960s 70s and 80d and the early 90d
You fucking fool forgot that Hip Hop nowadays is exactly what rock music used to be back then. Breaking the habits and new ways of living, the elder generations also hated rock music because of the lifestyle that came with it. Ignorant, melancholic smartass, open up your fucking calcified brain cells before it's too late.
@Top Dawg
what the fuck has rock music got to do with this?
Who in the world dislikes this video
Me and my fellow Metallica fans.
dopeeeeeeeeeee
why so many dislikes motherfuckers ???!!!
Metallica fans are so ignorant. Plus they call themselves metal heads and most likely only listen to metal thats played on the radio.
I don't think so...
I listen Metallica and also Evidence, so? :)
Your comments ignorant
Hey I play drums bass and guitar and I'm a full on metal head so how's that for evidence for you
fucking dislike button is broken, so here i am: i dont like this.
What you be smoking? Crack? Who you into Miley? How bout young wack nigga?
GAY ARTIST from AMERICA, COME CHECC ME OUT
That was really really slightly before Will went to complete shit
he already made some shitty song but that was just before he went on that robot shit
Even though BEP was soft I have to admit I still miss that touch of funk on the radio
@KidErkwon Bridging the Gap and Behind the Front are good examples of mid-late 90s hip hop.
w Polsce też to hula
evidence rocks tthis
Sick hook ;D
I'm glad will.iam didn't attempt to rap, that made the song for me
yes good music
EV has the coolest manorisms
good to hear will.i.am in his old days where you heard his real voice instead of the autotune:')
blu's one of hip hop's finest poets ever.
Love evidence
awesome !! what sample ?
never seen beautiful music cause so much hate. damn. quit swearing at each other from behind a computer. who cares what someone else likes? just appreciate it or don't. love this, but if you hate it, i don't really give a damn. enjoy your life.
301 people were searching for Metallica.
For REAL!! hes like hip hop for 9 year olds with technohop now hes fuckin with "Brittney bitch" LOL Black Eyed Peas SOLD OUT LIKE DUCT TAPE DURING ALL THAT Y2K SHIT LOL!!!!!
Metallica ??? o.0......
I positively, absolutely, terribly LOVE EVIDENCE........... "To whom the bell tolls".......
it has truly rang on me!!!! WHO ELSE CAN MAKE SUCH AN ART..
damn this is the first im hearing of blu... ummm he goes hard! i kinda hoped will.i.am was gonna channel some old school BEP (pre fergie) and spit a verse but still a cool hook! :)
I never thought Metallica fans were so retarded! LOL. do you faggots think metallica invented the saying "For whom the bells tolls" you must be more stupid than I thought...all that headbangin screwed up your brain!
Some of that good ish!
Don't see why the hate. One of my favourite songs. Phonte sounds brilliant, Ev does better then Blu does better.
Fuck all of you. This shit doesn't need your stamp of approval. It's good without the genre politics. Fuck your taste preference, this is that shit.
Good music is good music. No matter the genre.
DOPE TRACK
ima metal & underground rap fan, & i approve this song !
looks like ev borrowed a suit from carlton on fresh prince for this vid LOL
Hip Hop is a Diverse genre, your sure to get people from all walks of life. dont hate on the metalheads
i listen to metal everyday. evidence is actualy one my favorite rapper. so stfu and enjoy the music thx!
the church-bells in the beat are dope
EV is the man
EVIDENCE IS SOOO SUPERB
SUPPORT FROM LA THAT 562 AREA
i agree man im a huge metal fan slipknot, S.O.A.D, irate ect, but i grew up on hip hop and i love it all the same i don't understand why people have to hate on this shit ev is a genius!
zajebiste!!!!
this is how BEP use to be like on there first 2 records
DON'T HATE JUST FLOW TO THIS.......
So many haters whyyy !
blu's verse was fuckin' cold.
YO MAN GIVE THIS A LISTEN
Eli G - Crazy
This is bullshit, they doesnt have they own heads to make the name for a song.
Fuck Metallica, Evidence for life
khrysis is on point with this beat!
George Carlin shout at the end! R.I.P.
Im a big EV fan bu this song is kinda wack
Big tune!
and thats NOTHING to be PROUD of Homie. I went and read ya comments and you CLEARLY said more than "The Metallica version is better." Wisdom is the BEST thing to have at a Young Age. The sooner you get it the BETTER off you will be. If you dont like somethin' WHY ENTERTAIN IT!? WHY WASTE THE BORROW TIME OF YOUR LIFE HATING SOMETHING? Food for Thought Youngn'....Good Day and Enjoy.
EV and Will I am go way back...they all came up as homies, the alchemist and more, and its BLU btw...and yeah he killed this verse...Oh and so many songs in all genre's are repeated, and that is throughout history, I personally see no point in comparing the 2 songs...but that is just me, ya'll can waste your time, I don't think these kats makin fire are wasting any time, cuz your here listening .....RIGHT?
I clearly said, `The Metallica version is better`. I`m 14, I`m not going act like an adult until the time comes. You`re only a teen once and might as well do it the way you want.
Unless you can prove I said `You don`t know anything`. You can`t tell anything by attitude. Basically your saying is that if James Hetfield said the exact words I said, you would say he doesn`t know shit about music? Rethink.
will.i.am and blue go haaard on this
ok metalheads STFU (from a true metalhead)
"we cant stop nature taking its course but i can report" fucking dirty line EV Weatherman LP was one of the best albums ever

Starting a flame war:
Step 1: post comment on a rap video saying you hate rap and like metal
Step 2: wait for responses
Step 3: ?????
Step 4: Profit.
Why are is everyone talking about Metal when this is real RAP?
@elgrosmax Yeah exactly. Thanks for your understanding. Real metalheads are true artist.. Same goes to Metallica as I understand it. As a true artist, I know where my ground stands between my own original music and the new generation ones. I would too feel glad if people can optimize and improvise because they love my music. That'd be fun. That's what people called it a "feature".
The funny thing is Metallica isnt even good metal.... And Im a rap fan!
@493175001 Better than some hicks screaming in a semi-coherent manner.
i listen to all type of heavy metal .. and i can enjoy some nice old school hip hop , but when i see some fake ass metalheads spreading hate on an hip hop video , it just making me laugh how pathetic they sounds like ..
-
real metalheads don't comment on videos they don't like ..nuff said ..
@RealHipHopHead89 Actually I thought being the same name it would actually the same sounding. I have short hair, thanks for the survey.
Blu killed it.
