Ah, the sun is shining brighter 'cause you really make my day
Yeah, you really make my day, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, I think I like her 'cause she really makes my day
Yeah, she really makes my day, oh, oh, oh

See her on the beach, she was wrapped in a towel
Her body's so endowed seen her ass crack the smile
Enjoying the Nile, take it the breeze or some cat and mouse
And she was the cheese and the sun eased in our conversation

California dreamin' now Californiacation
Said she had drinks in the cooler and I had an invitation
If I wanted I could brewer, this is just an indication
On how cool she was, a couple of chicks came with the groupie love
They ain't want no pictures, only to be hugged

I'm thinkin' damn, damn that's really cool because
Sometimes I wanna chill
Sometimes the best things in life are not even planned
We came to the sand and got more than a tan
Baby girl, I'm a man and we can do this my way
Take a ride on the highway and pretend like it's Friday and it is

Ah, the sun is shining brighter 'cause you really make my day
Yeah, you really make my day, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, I think I like her 'cause she really makes my day
Yeah, she really makes my day, oh, oh, oh

She was at a barbecue
Pretty painted nails, she took off her shoes
She was show and tell like it was a grammar school
Sippin' on some L, I thinking man she cool

Sun smiling on her hair
Hey, they playing spades and we can be a pair
She had a spray on her, I can see it from my chair
I love it when it's sunny girl, you could be my Cher

It's independence day and freedom's in the air
We dance and danced away yo
Show them how to step, it's like a tango
My whole body angle, I can tell she'd like me

She got me a [Incomprehensible] you're sweet as icy
Spice it on, your sauce drip from my lips
Just stick to last step, we can do something hip
Take a trip around the world in a day
Play Fiona A like your worries blow away like it's all okay and it is

Ah, the sun is shining brighter 'cause you really make my day
Yeah, you really make my day, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, I think I like her 'cause she really makes my day
Yeah, she really makes my day, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Ah, the sun is shining brighter 'cause you really make my day
Yeah, you really make my day, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, I think I like her 'cause she really makes my day
Yeah, she really makes my day, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

On the sink got my momma a mink
Common is the link
Thought the game was extinct
Lady

So quickly I bought another
Sorry mr. william moved out the building
Spot to the top 50 ft was the silliam
Slow down son your killing them
Well funding it it was not
She reveals remonist and give me chills
When puff was with biggy
This I cheat on every niggy
Like a cop deportion drove through a city
Now all the little bitty's don't argue the pretty
I was a magician as marazo made a missin
My dick is like a blow pop baby
And if get's stiff get some botax baby
A show out baby now show me you gonna act right
And I'll be cuddling backwards like a track bite
She don't' know the casio cost 100
It's been two years since I've done it now all the rappers want it

Unzip the backpack pull out a 50 yap
I'll probably go to jail but nahh that ain't me

The rap photographer the way the flow stacks

Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing

Nothing you could do
(Straight up)
There's nothing you could do
(Not a boy says)

There's nothing you could do
(I want to know why you want tot play with it)
There's nothing you could do

They say he's a radical, he don't fit the game
A heart full of glory and a fist of pain
A couple of battle scars but shit's the same
Are you not entertained?

So all the onlookers and the bystanders
Wait till intermission, run buy your camera
Record the moment 'cause it'll be platinum
And you could say you seen
Common rock the stadium with Gladiator

I was told by a wise old to come from the heart
Though I might've did The Light, I don't run from the dark
The dark knight to spark mics and start fights
The warrior archetype like Kimbo Slice

It's strength in the beard, am I loved or feared?
A beast amongst boys like Paul I'm revered
Vroof, vroof, vroof, vroof, vroof, vroof

Well, like Jacob Jewel, I keep clientele
You frail on the mic like you might break a nail
I might smoke a joint but I won't take the L
I knew a fat girl who broke the scale

Still touched down 'cause I was off Artell
Had dreams of breaking Mike Vick out of jail
Took the underground rail to the end that failed
I rebel, NYSL, here to leave a trail like Nelson Mandela

There's nothing you could do
(Man, why you want to go against me?)
There's nothing you could do
(You sing where I fall)

There's nothing you could do
(You sing what I do)
There's nothing you could do

They say he's a radical, he don't fit the game
A heart full of glory and a fist of pain
A couple of battle scars but shit's the same
Are you not entertained?

So all the onlookers and the bystanders
Wait till intermission, run buy your camera
Record the moment 'cause it'll be platinum
And you could say you seen Common rock the stadium

My words is the sword, my skill is the shield
My life is the style, I stay dressed to kill
A legend like Will Smith with the steel
I could save the world when shit get for real

Skinny George Foreman, all in your grill
My rhyme style is blind, it's all in the feel
Touch it and watch the blood fall with the steel
The weak raps you wrote you could call that your will

My drive, vroom, is how I stay the livest
Your guys got you gassed, my flow is a hybrid
Crashed I survived it, gashes over eyelids
You easy to take out 'cause you hot garbage

I'm amped like wattage, the truth nigga honest
Any moment opponents drop out like college
Kneel and pay homage to the rap Ziggy Stardust
Stadium hands in the air fists balled up

There's nothing you could do
(You know what it is)
There's nothing you could do
(The boys rock)

There's nothing you could do
(So who next?)
There's nothing you could do

They say he's a radical, he don't fit the game
A heart full of glory and a fist of pain
A couple of battle scars but shit's the same
Are you not entertained?

So all the onlookers and the bystanders
Wait till intermission, run buy your camera
Record the moment 'cause it'll be platinum
And you could say you seen
Common rock the stadium, the gladiator

Feet in the dirt, blood on the shirt
Scars over bars, symbols of the work
Tight clothes the armor, center of the drama
Defeat your whole army like this is Sparta

So don't violate or you'll get violated
Some of you model bitches is so overrated
Don't mean to underrate it but damn it, I made it
In the water I waded, on the corner I painted
Draw blood like we related

MCs get de-decapitated
Syncopated is the style that I fight with, write with
Mr. Excitement, change your face up
Like a white chick then light shit

Up like a dread with the herbs
Get sex in the city and head in the burbs
These are the words of a radical
The crowd applaud, I'm bowed, I'm proud to be the gladiator

There's nothing you could do
(How could you even question this?)
There's nothing you could do
(Now you know)

There's nothing you could do
(The future)
There's nothing you could do

They say he's a radical, he don't fit the game
A heart full of glory and a fist of pain
A couple of battle scars but shit's the same
Are you not entertained?

So all the onlookers and the bystanders
Wait till intermission, run buy your camera
Record the moment 'cause it'll be platinum
And you could say you seen
Common rock the stadium with Gladiator

I'm the river that flow through the hood
Through the woods, through the birds, through the mud
Through the bricks over the curves, to the forest reserve
Got with four acres in the forest and worst

Planted [Incomprehensible] for the young seeds to know
Trees is blowin', we see change in the wind
This is new day and I gotta take it in
See a black man run, we need him to win

Young eyes search, search for a better tomorrow
Let belief lead the way and the angels follow
Open doors for the hopeful to go through
'Cause I was chosen and I'm supposed to

I know a change gonna come
The race begun, we're almost there, oh yeah
I know a change gonna come
The race begun, we're almost there, oh yeah

I spoke like a child, I wrote like a child
I always smile, let my mind float like a child
Wishin' I was smart as these kids are now
All grown up still wishin' I'm a child again

Church song reminded me to stay grateful
A [Incomprehensible] reminded me to stay playful
Day's go by, my life all high
I leave all my walks so the fight don't die

And me, I found a purpose why I MC
Inspire a young world to be greater than me
I fall awake and I dream a song
So the little shortys will sing along

I know a change gonna come
The race begun, we're almost there, oh yeah
I know a change gonna come
The race begun, we're almost there, oh yeah

Welcome children, welcome me
Your sentiments is felt in me
I see the future and the walking path
Don't let these fool take you off your path

Laugh if you need to, smile if you need to
Life is a trip ride long and proceed to
Try to believe to, do what you wanna do
Remember you're kings and queens and still humble to

Life isn't fun and you don't need to look back again
Victory can be claimed while you still battling
Travel on with the food I provide you
To awaken the voice that's inside you

I know a change gonna come
The race begun, we're almost there, oh yeah
I know a change gonna come
The race begun, we're almost there, oh yeah

Change is inevitable, you can't stop it
Change is happening in everybody's life
Change is like the furious hurricane that you can't stop

What is change? Change is Martin Luther King Jr., Gandhi
Shakespeare, Tupac Shakur, Barack Obama
And you can't forget Common
Change is gonna happen, change is hope

In-Inhale (x6)
(Verse 1)
I breathe deep
Like an old man in a deep sleep
Or an Indian peace pipe in a tipi
The beginning, the end
The first, the last
Breath into eternity
The verse will last
Got a chick in the south that be cursin' fast
When it was she tried a nigga nurse it last (?)

Hunger of the homeless
Microphon-us
Played the game - it got a bonus
Man cuz the plan is the master like Tiger
So much drive
I am the definition of a rider
Daughter's name means survivor
From a tribe-a
Colliders
Just one word can't describe her
A scribe of the streets
And a good life that we all wanna reach
I'm hotter than a beach
Flow is so deep
Even underwater
I can inhale and put the world in order

In-Inhale(x4)
(Verse 2)
Gaspin for air
Air everlasting
Raps that are rare
I write with christ
Passionate stare
Way to heaven is to stay in step
Rap this deep like my man Johnny Depp
You never know the next one god coulda kept
Soft as...

What do you see when look at me and I'm just standing there?
Shit, that make the world all work, that's what in my blood
And I won't stop until I drop 'cause my life's just burning out
So walk, keep climbing, won't look down until I reach the top

What a world, what a world
What a world, what a world
What a world, what a world
What a world, what a world

A little boy from Chicago had dreams to be a star
And make a way and get some pay and drive a fancy car
Though his mama used to say to him, "Hey boy, just go school"
But whether it was old or new in school he broke the rules

What do you see when look at me and I'm just standing there?
Shit, that make the world all work, that's what in my blood
And I won't stop until I drop 'cause my life's just burning out
So walk, keep climbing, won't look down until I reach the top

What a world, what a world
What a world, what a world
What a world, what a world
What a world, what a world

Now his whole life he told his boys, "Hey y'all, I'm going to rap"
So when he got a rap contract, it wasn't no turning back
Now his mama she would say to him
"You need to get, get back in school"
And all the trash that the peoples say he was using it for fuel

What do you see when look at me and I'm just standing there?
Shit, that make the world all work, that's what in my blood
And I won't stop until I drop 'cause my life's just burning out
So walk, keep climbing, won't look down until I reach the top

What a world, what a world
What a world, what a world
What a world, what a world
What a world, what a world

And the story goes on and on, it goes on and on and on
They say, "Hey boy, you rap real good but ain't making no hit songs"
So he'd tell himself, yo, yo, yo self you gotta do it the way you do
And make this music from your soul and make it fresh and new

What do you see when look at me and I'm just standing there?
Shit, that make the world all work, that's what in my blood
And I won't stop until I drop 'cause my life's just burning out
So walk, keep climbing, won't look down until I reach the top

What a world, what a world
What a world, what a world
What a world, what a world
What a world, what a world

Then the game, it started to change
They say music just ain't the same
Though he remained the song he is sang
Just keep your drive, stay in your lane

Inch by inch the people came
They started to know his name and say you do your thang
Now the whole, whole world singing his song
From Chicago a star it born, wow

What do you see when look at me and I'm just standing there?
Shit, that make the world all work, that's what in my blood
And I won't stop until I drop 'cause my life's just burning out
So walk, keep climbing, won't look down until I reach the top

What a world, what a world
What a world, what a world
What a world, what a world
What a world, what a world

how did you know
i was waiting for this time to come
i know it tastes like forever
if you stir up

everywhere is somewhere [x4]

a shame and since before my birth
when I came down to walk the earth
my mission, condition
I give you, you listen
I'm sick of the time in paradise
In irony, no servitude
in planning, contention
with low the redemption

how did you know
i was waiting for this time to come
i know it tastes like forever
if you stir up

everywhere is somewhere [x4]

no pop no pop no pop no pop
we gon do this thang till the sky just drop
lock into your mind the way we rock
and the rocket is the 87 astronaut
top of the soul - dove and I got in the hole
at the moment they were singin it was out of control
step into your mind rhyme seize the recline
youll see in time your season to shine
When the stadium is dark MC's are defined.
get ready on your mark put your feet on the line
the race is on to space beyond
you gon get there by doin what you want
sometimes the most famous feel all alone
so we trip to a place that we call our home
I was known as the in spaceman outta my dome
now I know it's all I've known

how did you know
i was waiting for this time to come
i know it tastes like forever
if you stir up

everywhere is somewhere [x4]
