(COMMON)
|
Mad love for the culture
|
Since the days of Addidas and hip hop posters
|
Now I host with Mos and just to boast to brag or bet about it
|
Cause I can¡¯t live without it
|
Seen her on the streets when I was like ten
|
Especially¡¯s of a lagged and young black man
|
Do back spins in back yards coz we rap harder
|
People to likes us now we black stars
|
Gift from God
|
They said we must be crazy
|
Now they saying Common, Nasir and Jay Z
|
Leaders of tomorrow
|
Follow the steps of Africa¡¯s rap in the ghettos making it spressed up
|
Yo we bring the light we do it tonight
|
Alicia Keys and Mos Def bring it right
|
We come down and bam! And rock who I am
|
Common Sense, yo! I rip the band, yo!
|
(CHORUS)
|
ALL
|
You gotta love it or leave it alone(X8)
|
(MOS DEF)
|
Peep it out while I tell you like this
|
A fresh to the soil be sure you don¡¯t miss
|
It¡¯s the¡¦ true for ya, true feature
|
I could go on for days about it screaming, ¡°Alicia!¡±
|
Walking down the block with brother Common Sense
|
Call grand Common Sense
|
So what the heck so I
|
Show this fresh girl that you always sure
|
Before and then my heart should be adored and
|
Can¡¯t front
|
Another ignore it¡¯s Aquarius love and highly secure
|
Daje Mahal
|
And really getting in and fantasize of my life for a one or two winners
|
And my man Common Sense just stopped and said
|
¡°yo stop frontin¡¯ and use your head!
|
yo stop frontin and use your head!
|
yo stop frontin and use your fucking head¡±
|
|
CHORUS
