Common - One four love part I
Tekst :
[Talib Kweli]Yo you sent out the signal right?
And this is what happened
The voice of Hip Hop got heard
Never comprimised this is how we put it down c mon
[Kool G Rap]
Throughout my thuglife I ve seen the ???
Like ??? fight over the role of dice
Flashing whole lights when killas on a hiest
So contight, get poltergiest over the bowl of Christ
Who pulled the slice from cats aiming gats who showed the hiest
Told you right she be the one that come and hold your mic
Then aim it at the whole vice squad just like ???
Rollin like every prototype was dolomight
One man recall his ice inside his gun hand he holds for life
[Rah Digga]
This for the ones with holes in they graves
Waitin for they piece when the law misbehave
I say we off ??? watch em walk the beat
Like you can t cross streets make them all retreat
(now) Judges and the jury be a little to appointed
Making us defendants when we supossed to be the plantiffs
Laugh now cause soon the thrill stops
Heads get it on and start to kill cops
[Sporty Theivz]
I m sober but the pull me over
What i do yo? (what we do yo?)
Poe-poe go i m drivin to slow (cool yo)
I torin them explorin them (damn)
For them that s why i m ignoring them (uh-oh)
Bring like king skip
Before they bring this to some Rodeny King shit
Forget them fools
Now make no sudden moves
They reachin for they tools (let s move)
You buggin dude
Kirk you ran the stop, word them pigs frontin
Yo tell like you tell em cousin we ain t did nothin
All they see is three blacks in a jeep with seats back
Lookin for ??? packs how the blood dog can eat that
They thirstin for a reason to blast you can t beat that
Gats and a badge to match you can beat that so bounce em
[Mos Def]
My people unite and let s all get down
We gotta have what? love peace and understandin
One god, One love, One light
One aim, One voice, One fight
My people unite, hop up and do it right
We gotta have what? love peace and understandin
One god, One love, One light
One aim, One voice, One fight
My people unite, hop up and do it right
Do it right ya ll, keep it tight ya ll, do it right ya ll, just do it
[Shabaam Sahdeeq]
Blood on they hands, blood on my mans
Destroying the fam
More souljers die, another mother cries
Anthony Buyers, ??? ???, Diallo
Let it keep happenin and theirs more to follow
It s even deeper then that penal shot in the back
Forever we fight and cus but the world still adjust
So many bullets just to stop one man
Is that the plan,
To leave us all dead in the street
[Common]
I m an opponent of violence
To many of my guys have to condome it in silence
Law takes lives and can only do violence
And with night sticks i write quick
Hopin that
[Talib Kweli and Common]
I might hit somebody in the heart
[Talib Kweli]
Like an arrow with her eyes on a sparrow
Yo i feel my peoples pain all in my bone marrow
[Common]
I m tellin Pharoahe to let my folks go
Ma s been singin to law like they background vocals
[Talib Kweli]
Local, state, federal cops have been payed properly
To protect the property
How can i just stand by and watch a man die for nothin and not react
The way we spit on this track is how we bustin back
[Common]
Yo i pimp slap 5-0
Get behind them and make the marks drive slow
[Talib Kweli]
Yo, you wanna know how to improve on the quality life?
Try respectin it step into my zone and maifest a check in it
[Pharoahe Monch]
Cops they transport me from Long island to Medina
with they fucked up demeanor
Dreamin of stickin it to me like Abner Louima
Pharoahe slash El-Hajj Malik Shabazz
with plans of retaliations of they coward ass
God please allow me to preach for em
A voiceless man through a spirit i speek for him
Step to city hall if a dove flew for Diallo
with a vision of cops inside the Public Enemy logo
[Posdnous]
All that scheming and plotting
The young absorb like cotton does
Ecspeacially in my city where the boys steady rockin in
You would thought 5-0 would cut it all short
But they play the biggest part in the art of living arms
In our land cops guns clap more then hands
As if we don t deserve what they hear to preserve
We just tryin to do it right in these worlds that we rappin in
While they trying to fill us all up with more lead then zepilin
[Everyone Lead by Mos Def]
My people unite and let s all get down
We gotta have what? love peace and understandin
One god, One love, One light
One aim, One voice, One fight
My people unite, hop up and do it right
We gotta have what? love peace and understandin
One god, One love, One light
One aim, One voice, One fight
My people unite, hop up and do it right
My people unite and let s all get down
We gotta have what? love peace and understandin
One god, One love, One light
One aim, One voice, One fight
My people unite, hop up and do it right
We gotta have what? love peace and understandin
One god, One love, One light
One aim, One voice, One fight
My people unite, hop up and do it right
My people unite and let s all get down
We gotta have what? love peace and understandin
One god, One love, One light
One aim, One voice, One fight
My people unite, hop up and do it right
We gotta have what? love peace and understandin
One god, One love, One light
One aim, One voice, One fight
Common - Goodlife
Tekst :
(feat. Common, Pharrell)T.I.
Composição: Indisponível
[Chorus]
[T.I.]
I keep telling myself
Man I m living the good life
[Pharrell]
I m living the good life
[2X]
I m on top of the world
I m on top of the world
[2X]
[T.I.]
I was born into poverty raised I the sewerage
Streets always would be a part of me, it made me the truest
And even when my days were the bluest
I never ran from adversity, instead I ran to it
Fear ain t in the heart of me I learned just do it
You get courage in your fears right after you go through it
Now I come through in a Coupe on 22s
That ain t bad for a nigga who ain t even finish school
Don t get me wrong I never been a fool
I just put off graduating for a pair of tennis shoes
I used to use the beat to paint my pain
But nowadays man I can t complain
I got several automobiles and they all on thangs
Several size of tangent and they all in one chain
Used to see me in the mall I m the same
And get a couple broads giving brain on the plane
[Chorus]
[Common]
I come from Chi-Town lost and found in the struggle
Where dudes say stay safe and stay out of trouble
Speak is muffed the law and B gon try to cuff you
Those with duffles move weight and have muscles
I came through the dirt with a verse for the people
Open up for Daddy Kane and Easy up at the Regal
The radio rarely put their needle on my record
They ain t see how the hood and heaven were connected
Sounds projected, ain t show how effective
Lessons learned, sessions turned to life reflected
And everything I found real in life know I kept it
They say life s a teacher, you re gonna get tested
When a nigga changed they keep saying that nigga strange
Couldn t see how my mind won t be the lame
Ahead of my time I caught up with the game
Making good music making paper making change
[Chorus]
[T.I.]
I put on gasoline drawers I stood in the fire
With enough heat to set the hood on fire
Man you niggaz think Suge was off the wire
You should ve seen the squad before I had Messiah
We assumed the title as the number one supplier
Felt like I was selling blow since I was in diapers
And wish a nigga would come try us
We was cool with the killers, best friends with the lifers
Quick to up and scrap with niggaz who want to deny
For what we considered then as a lucrative empire
But like that pimping time flash by you
Now I wonder what the judge think as he reading my priors
Prison ain t full and the reefer ain t bias
You ain t got to tell and distant the liars
Gave the jail hell and shot birds at the hearse
Lived through worse and reversed the curse
[Chorus]
Common - Chi-city
Tekst :
[Chorus][Common sample] And you say Chi city
We don t stop naw we don t quit
[Repeat 4X]
[Common]
I rap with the passion of Christ, @#%$ cross me
Took it outta space and @#%$ thought they lost me
I m back like a chiropract wit b-boy survival rap
This ain t 94 Joe we can t go back
The game need a makeover
My man retired, I ma take over
Tell these halftime @#%$ break s over
I m raw hustlas getcha bakin soda
Too many rape the culture
Leave rappers with careers and their faith over
It s a war goin on you can t fake bein a soldier
In the basement listenin to tapes of Ultramagnetic to the fact the Messiah s black
I turn the TV down we could take it higher than that
I wonder if these wack @#%$ realize they wack
And they the reason my people say they tired of rap
Inspired by black Muslims and Christian
Pushin Cutlasses, dope, and other traditions
In the conditions of the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, c mon
[Chorus]
A black figure, in the middle of chaos and gun fire
So many raps about rims, I m surprised @#%$ ain t become tires
On the street you turn code and then go screech
I tell em @#%$ em, like I do the police
The beast in runnin rampant
I m in between sheets tryna have sex that s tantric
But the getto, tryna make a get up stand up anthem
You spit hot garbage son of Sanford
What you rappin for to get fame or get rich
I slap a @#%$ like you
And tell him Rick James bitch
Witcha Hollywood stories on porches
We poli hood stories on who became rich
And whatever light they hit, we wanna hit the same switch
You didn t know where to aim it, you still remain bitch
I m forever puttin words together
Some ll sever mothers from daughters and fathers from sons
The name Com has never been involved in Run
Unless it s DMC or runnin these broads to bein free
I m hotta than the times, you hardly scary
Holdin gats inside, you cats is Halle Berry
They ask me where hip hop is goin , a Chicagoan
Poetry s in motion like a picture now showin
It s the city, the city y all, the city, the city y all
C mon
[Chorus]

Losowe utwory
Ty lubisz wciąż spać, a ja wolę sport
w poniedziałek gram w piłkę
a we czwartek basen mam...
tak często cię proszę
żebyś poszedł ze mną tam
lecz ty wciąż zmęczony
wciąż tak snu spragniony
wolisz sam ze sobą być
rusz się wreszcie, rusz
w mięśnie zamień tłuszcz
i przestań ciało w pierzu kryć!
ty lubisz wciąż spać, a ja wolę sport
ty twierdzisz że... mam w głowie źle
lecz...
a we czwartek basen mam...
tak często cię proszę
żebyś poszedł ze mną tam
lecz ty wciąż zmęczony
wciąż tak snu spragniony
wolisz sam ze sobą być
rusz się wreszcie, rusz
w mięśnie zamień tłuszcz
i przestań ciało w pierzu kryć!
ty lubisz wciąż spać, a ja wolę sport
ty twierdzisz że... mam w głowie źle
lecz...
This could be the day
This could be the day I ve waited for all my life
And it s coming true
This could be the day I ve waited for all my life
And it looks like you
Bells of fire hissing through
The dark and tropical night
And it s coming true
This could be the day I ve waited for all my life
And it looks like you
Bells of fire hissing through
The dark and tropical night
Satellite of love
Satellite s gone
up to the sky
Things like that drive me
out of my mind
I watched it for a little while
I love to watch things on TV
Satellite of love (x2)
Satellite s gone
way up...
up to the sky
Things like that drive me
out of my mind
I watched it for a little while
I love to watch things on TV
Satellite of love (x2)
Satellite s gone
way up...
Miss Magnolia
Miss Magnolia
Miss Magnolia you just can’t keep
Keep me to yourself
You know I been here way too long
You’ve had me working all day long
No I’m not cut out and I won’t be found
To make a man for you.
Nananana
Well if you see her ake sure you tell
Tell her that I’m gone...
Miss Magnolia you just can’t keep
Keep me to yourself
You know I been here way too long
You’ve had me working all day long
No I’m not cut out and I won’t be found
To make a man for you.
Nananana
Well if you see her ake sure you tell
Tell her that I’m gone...
Molotov
With my back to the wall you ve somehow pinned me up against.
Fingernails in the palms of these tightly clenched fists.
And I m somewhere in between a held tongue and a curse.
Or I could keep it inside, and hide it.
In hopes my...
