|
On the streets on the side
|
I look a man in his face eye to eye
|
And wonder why
|
I don't wanna die
|
I hope you don't wanna die
|
So why bring it my way?

Yo Tekzilla
|
You know I ain't the type to play killa
|
But this day still arrives in my mind like a flight on down
|
Thursday night had plans to be out
|
Till the night served daylight
|
But it ain't happen
|
Rappin' to myself cause there wasn't noone to rap to
|
This feeling came to me like somebody lookin' at you
|
There was these cats who me and my crew boxed against
|
Gotta - spotted the glock now the nigga's got some confidence
|
Cause I'm Common Sense and I rap consciousness
|
He was prop to dis mad cause my guy used to knock his bitch
|
I could sense he was tryin' to bring it
|
But I wasn't ready to receive it
|
In fact I made him leave it
|
Before he could achieve it
|
As we rolled through the streets of cottage grove
|
And reach the stoplight
|
Behind me, he flashed lights bright, sorta cop-like
|
I'm thinkin' Tupac-like cause he got out the car
|
I was taught only to fight in defense or the in will of Allah
|
And ain't no talking when it's time to spar
|
So before he popped some shit I did ??I act my shit is solo??
|
Back his lady trying to hold him like big pun
|
I stowed 'em and told 'em
|
I ain't'a shoot I just punch a lot
|
Between blows this nig' tried to up his glock
|
His brother watched spooked like a daddy on teenage love
|
He got 'buked til my tape I got sing like a dove
|
Got his dome into her
|
My fist brought back the one hand
|
Tried to pop it musta been a nine cause the gun jammed
|
Unplanned I disarm this trick nigga
|
Pistol-whipped his ass, his lady's I was palmin' it
|
Hollered '87 reign dominant
|
Needed a fight that night
|
Me and my woman had a argument
|
|
"I guess I should tell you a little something about myself"
|
"I bang with the big boys, those who obey"
|
|
[Common]
|
Hey now why you gotta hold yo' thang?
|
Scared to shoot, scared to shoot
|
Shoot for the revolut-
|
yo
|
Peace y'all Common Sense and Hi Tek
|
Traveling the world it's just a day in the life
|
Of real niggas
