You know they be asking 'bout Common, where he at?

|
A lot of ya'll nah nah, forgot na, who I am
|
The '87 nigga used to rah rah in the jam
|
Ow yeah, we put them things in the air
|
When I drop a single, it's really like a pair
|
Of Air Jordans, important to the culture
|
If you aint true to it, callate la boca
|
Get my drink on like a coaster
|
Post up on a wall, a mic, used to live off
|
Hip Hop Master?, I'mma get my shit off
|
Rollin' in a Maserati Gran with the lid off
|
I bit off like a monster, live nigga this is my encore
|
Encore, encore, I rhyme for the commoners
|
My name synonymous with prominence
|
I'm to hip hop what Obama is to politics
|
Common is
|
|
Yeah, man, y'all niggas man, you soft muthfuckers
|

|
Then come around my crib
|

[Common - Verse 2]
|
Wa da da da, wa dada dada da
|
The C-O double-M O-N, I'm not playin'
|
Da da man at work, I make my own lane
|
I'm the franchise so I rock my own chain
|
No I. said give 'em that 80′s cocaine
|
Somethin' raw, something pure so I stayed in that vain
|
The hero that he know, that he cold
|
Like winters below in the Geo, wipe ya feet off in the Regal
|
I'm king, observe the throne and the dream
|
I have it, supreme like mathematics
|
Yeah, I rep the fresh air for you asthmatic rap addicts
|
Pro black magic, this is semi-automatic
|
Rap we won't jam in traffic
|
The game need direction, I'm here to map it
|
Uh, some people say that they be missing creativity
|
But when it come to hip hop, it begins and it's with me
|
Sweet
|
|
[Outro]

You know man, you should know where I come from
|
You should know who I am nigga
|
You should never wanna go against me
|
You know man, you too soft for that man
|
I be seeing you man, I see it in your eyes man
|
You aint the type of nigga to go against me
|
You get in my presence you gon' feel like a little hoe
|
You aint a man yet, you tryna be somebody else
|
Man, be yourself man, you come around my crib, you get your shit took
|
Huh, wherever you go, you probably be overseas in Europe and get yo shit
|
