| Com sense — what can I do? |
| I build or destroy
|
| Doin' what I can, cuz ya see I be a D-boy
|
| Takin' it to the future, I execute ya
|
| If I have to, you can stand still like a statue
|
| Wonderin', what’s goin on? |
| like Marvin
|
| I start to carve in my own spot
|
| My man Roy will make it hot
|
| But we say it cold in the Go
|
| The brother Common Sense never stop with the flow
|
| My flow keeps goin' on and on and
|
| I like to do it cuz?
|
| I’m not the type to beat like that
|
| But when it comes to the empire, yo I strike back
|
| Yo I like fat raps, I might be that type of sh*t
|
| What can I do? |
| I like to spit
|
| On the graves of those who never been a slave
|
| Don’t understand about the things, they misbehave
|
| When they see the brother com sense through the door
|
| Ask about the dreds, they ask about the flow
|
| They ask about different questions —
|
| Questions like brother Questlove
|
| This is what I do, I suggest love
|
| To many, penny for your thoughts
|
| Brother Com Sense yo I’m never takin' shorts
|
| Ask too, I come through, just with my crew
|
| With a little trees and a little bit of brew
|
| But we can chill. |
| I just came to feel
|
| Brother James Poys on keys
|
| What can I do, MCs they wanna freeze
|
| When they see the brother common sense go against 'em
|
| Yo we gotta system, we can break it down for Roy…
|
| Hargrove… stars rove in the sky
|
| I told you, I could say I’m from the Chi
|
| But I’m from the Go
|
| I keep it goin' and I never stop
|
| Yo I’d like to do a show
|
| Maybe the Vanguard and stand hard
|
| With the brother right there on the horn
|
| This is what I’m tellin' ya’ll — my words are reborn
|
| This is how it form: like an application
|
| Playin' with yourself, boy, that’s mental masturbation
|
| This is what I’m doin' yo, I just passed the nation
|
| This is what I’m askin' you, for an application
|
| To come down. |
| Com Sense got the sun sound
|
| I run down different types of thoughts
|
| It’s like this is what I’m doin' cuz I just got divorced
|
| Somebody just said he coulda seen me in the Source
|
| A long time ago, an unsigned hype
|
| I said Com Sense yo I been strikin' mics
|
| Since I was a shorty, used to drink 40's
|
| Now I’m drinkin shh types of water
|
| And supportin' my daughter ya’ll
|
| My guy said it’s like some 80's
|
| This is for the ladies
|
| Brothers go crazy
|
| Check it out, I ain’t lazy
|
| With the style. |
| com sense be from stony isle,
|
| The only child of Ann brow
|
| Hand down the thoughts
|
| That’s what she did a long time
|
| Com sense came in with the strong rhyme
|
| I like to say my name cuz' it’s on my brain
|
| What can I do, I ain’t here to jest or entertain
|
| I like to teach, if I gotta reach
|
| Down from my brother from the window
|
| Let the wind blow
|
| From the brother com sense always mental
|
| Roy said get up on this instrumental
|
| The style so free, so I MC
|
| Some call me com, some call me Rashid
|
| Down with EB, you know how we do
|
| Brother com sense ain’t no neo soul crew
|
| It’s the other type of stuff
|
| Yo I’m housin' you like the government but you ain’t lovin' it
|
| Somebody want a covenant, said cool we can make it
|
| Com sense doin' the style is sorta sacred |
