Evidence - Late For The Sky Lyrics

Who's on the hook? Kinda sounds like Dem Atlas..

First of November... All Souls Day...

New cycle of course

Still here







2019

Man. Somebody give me a cup of coffee. I've sleeping on this dude.

What’s the sample from?

🌎🌍🌏⭐️⭐️⭐️

Xoxox 💋💯

Been here for too long, said it's time to ride
Got to push it on, cause I'm
Been here for too long, yes it's time to fly
Got to get along, cause I'm late for the sky
Been here for too long, got to uh
Cause I'm late for the sky

[Verse 1: Slug]
I dream what these wings won't do
Cause counting sheep is easy as 1, 2
Jumping out the nest to catch some bird food
Clutch's so tense that the knuckles turned blue
I been hooped to wise men, check horizon
Read the flight plan, spread the life spam
Sky heights are set, it's time to climb these steps
We only tryna get free from the spider's web
Gotta murder all the messing around
Carry the burden of work, never setting it down
With a spotlight now, my shot, my chance
Put a plot of land in the pockets of my pants
Break loose, raise roof when the kick drops
They flew straight through, no pit stops
Lift off with your head in the clouds
Or get lost in the rest of the crowd

[Chorus]
Been here for too long, said it's time to ride
Got to push it on, cause I'm
(1-2)
Times have come and gone, yes it's time to ride
Early in the morning
(Late for the sky)
Been here for too long, said it's time to ride
Got to push it on, 'cause I'm
(Late for the sky)
Times have come and gone, yes it's time to fly
Got to get along
(Late for the sky)

[Verse 2: Evidence]
Here's a quotable, slash rap notable
Slash Mike gone but Janet still controllin' you
I'm rarely candid, my view panoramic
My eyes wide shut, if not one, a hole-in-two
I'm packing double, getting up too early
I'm actually trouble, kinda acting 7:30
(Out of my mind)
Attracted to this Earth, maybe acting kinda worldly
But running on my work that says Ev I better hurry
I'd rather worry debt than being pushed through the line
Still a perfect record jet, never late when I fly
Moving hectic, testing patience of this time when I rhyme
Not an out to death trying, saying late for the sky
Late for my prime, but something that was shaped by design
I been running while the others burnt from racing the line
Makin' it great coincides with makin' it mine
Coincides with the hate that I'm makin' it signs
Let me start from the beginning, I'm rewinding the clock
Pitch my heart in every inning like I did with the knock
And it don't stop, a body in motion stays in motion
Coach seat between the wings of this Boeing

[Chorus]
Been here for too long, said it's time to ride
Got to push it on, cause I'm
(1-2)
Times have come and gone, yes it's time to ride
Early in the morning
(Late for the sky)
Been here for too long, said it's time to ride
Got to push it on, 'cause I'm
(Late for the sky)
Times have come and gone, yes it's time to fly
Got to get along
(Late for the sky)

[Verse 3: Aesop Rock]
From a chicken wire frame and a house of wax
To a rocket exploding into a cloud of bats
I been it, dog meat in the '76 Plymouth
Sittin' bitch, antenna divining for live witches
Have you buried a corpse, can you suture a wound
Do you get a fuzzy feeling when the beautiful lose
Like a behooving of a crew to snap Buddha, enthuse greatly
Prove a definitive crucible of mood-making
Four wolves find me to speak as an eye-witness
We will be closing in five minutes, find spinach
Not a pleasantry but stirring only enemies of mercy
A plebeian centipede's unearthing something dirty
Same nature later snap on his shoes
Maybe they ratty cause they actually a hat for his roots
That anchor every perfect pivot to the city's nervous system
Til I make the following preferred decision, listen

yall talkin bout Aes wb EV? I mean this is EVs album wtf!?

They flew, straight through, no pit stops!

Save the best for last.. fuck aesop killed it

3:02 is the only reason I reason with this track.
Once that's over I'm onto the next.

guess the last name dumi makes sense

@MCCRB
Bet your ass that does.

super super underrated classic jam

this is legit my favorite aesop rock verse of all time

Ryan sorry home slice, that’s pretty short cited tho isn’t it? Dude been around 20+. Killed a lot of verses.

I feel like Brother Ali would have brought this song into the heavens to achieve god status. Still good though

Agreed 100%. How fucking epic would that be?

Agreed 100% How fucking epic would that be?

!!!!!!!!!

Aes put in work on this track

BOOOOO no intro

Slug put it down then picked it up n handed it to ev

Can’t wait for Atmosphere and Evidence on March 5th in Vancouver! I hope Aesop makes an appearance because Late for the Sky and This Lonely Rose would be fantastic to see live! Mind you, if Atmosphere plays Lady With the Tattooed Hands, anything else just be golden!

haha how was it? going to see them march 14 in London ON! slug is one of my fav rappers...seen him live many times.

dude that's crazy I was at the show in London too and got on stage with ev when he was rapping mr slow flow. it was definitely the best show ive ever seen in my life. Peace

hahaha i totally remember seeing you dude! you killed it!! cheers

luke brown Best show I’ve ever seen!

i never really understood the name of this album but i do now.

Do you get a fuzzy feeling when the beautiful loose?

what is the slight alteration?

check out rhymesayers rejects on facebook

what is intro song name??

Zipper ㅡ Late For The Sky by Jackson Browne.

Aesop Rock at 3:00

Aesop Rock is the man. In the last few years he has risen to my absolute favorite MC/Rapper.

I fuck with El and used to listen to jux heavy RTJ is great too but Aes is just in his own lane imo

Thats funny hes my least favorite Rhymesayer. I'd take Nikki Jean over him, and I don't even fuck with that kinda music.

Aesop is talented though, I like his newer song "Dorks" but I prefer him when he's a feature in someone elses song.

Brother Ali is the GOAT

@Fuck You u obviously ain't heard his greatest Album. The impossible kid. Chec it out foooooooool

Fuckin same

These 3 are all in my top 5

Aes is the best

Dude, that is disrespectful to slug and ev.

How can fake shit live?

Who the fuck is Aes Rock?

+Stephen Kiester whoosh...

+Stephen Kiester whoosh...

Your new favorite MC!

Steven Semco a genius

sounds like atmosphere rapping in the beginning

I know many fans who love Atmosphere, but have no idea who the fuck Slug is!

Liridon Cenaj how can you claim you love something when they clearly have no idea what the fuck they are saying in their lyrics

Liridon Cenaj hahaha. Right.

@Liridon Cenajevery body sleeps on Ant too, hell of a DJ/producer.

Atmosphere is a group, slug is a rapper from the group

why the fuck do you not have a video for this great song slug!!!!

great cover from the amazing Film 'Taxi Driver'

stephan coers you realize that the original song wasn't made just for taxi driver, right?

Wait, what?

Dopeness.

Lol doom wtf

like food i didnt eat yet this is my new shit, feels similar to cruisin fresh 72's under new kicks

When Aesop ROck came on it was like a shot of vodka before taking the SAT.

DILATED PEOPLES

EVIDENCE, RAKAA IRISCIENCE, DJ BABU!

rozpierdol czachona ! <3

*Scratch* "1, 2" Ev likes J Dilla

DAT BEAT :D

Btw, have you guys noticed that there are almost never moronic discussions at EV's vids? I guess we just that cool ;p

Pz

just heard this for the first time on pandora so amazing! slug and evidence!!

What a dope beat, and the excellent spitting from evidence

WHY do you RANDOMLY capitalize WORDS during a sentence? Its not FOR emphasis BECAUSE IT doesn't add anything.

i love these guys. this song is right on!

got to get along...cuz i'm late for the sky

NOT a VERY CREATIVE or INTELLIGENT ... ANALOGY but it WORKS & I AGREE (lol)

weak comment dude ...

fuck off

brutish

Polska łapy w górę ! My też słuchamy dobrej muzyki !

exceptional judgment you have.

My b. the cd track w the extra stuff at the beginning has the hype build-up

So hype: "late for the skyyyyyy" leading up to the first beat

love this track

Just found this song on a disc golf vid I was watching. Fucking awesome!

Melody copied from 50 cent's hustler ambition? =D But good song, thumb up!

this joint is straight
cant believe any 1 would say anything bad

thats the point! Oliver Hart, All of her heart.

R.EYE.P.

Ev, Slug, and Aesop all put in work on this track.

I just realized eyedea sounds like idea

itunes only downloaded first 1:30 of this song... not cool

if eyedea was alive to kill this track<3

LEO AURUM if eyedea was still kicking we might get some more Orphanage doses..

I think he was alive when this track was recorded. It was 2011 but idk which month.

@RinochiPL he passed in 2010 actually =(

bacteria?

the comments are so funny lmao

haha comments at the top are great

shut up idiots

nah, since anybody whose music is actually their lifestyle is generally poor and/or stupid

Ace really did kill it, I hadn't heard of Evidence until the song, and I couldn't pull myself away from his work!

"Just music"... that's a joke too, right?

All 3 are LEGENDS!

ACE FUCKING RIZZLE!

rustra talks so weirdly

The reason he got the best verse in this song was because HE WROTE THE DAMN VERSE.

I own every Atmos album released. I think he didn't do that good in this song also. But that's just me. Ace killed it though

means drum

of course it was ( :

gotta curb those excessively strong opinions bro. it's just music

(lol) That aint even FUNNY as a JOKE but whatever NO PROBLEM

2 people lost their pet cat/dog

Seriously? It's too bad you think that way, kiddo.

Battery

sorry i think you may be lost... you wont find any nicki minaj or rebecca black round these parts of youtube
