Common Free Style |
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 |
