Tekzilla - Common

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?

«Common Sense in a ghetto in Chicago»

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

Got a, spot and a 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' 2Pac-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 shooter 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 Nas 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 hold game»

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
