Aquarius Songtext
von Common feat. Bilal

Yeah, yeah

Nigga deep in the rhythm, experience speaks
I′m keepin' the wisdom the life hustlers seek
I′m seekin' it with 'em

I′m dope, the streets need me to hit ′em
With some of that (Revolutionary rap)
Revolutionary blunted rap
My peoples want hits, I hit it from the back
Under the cherry moon, I hold notes and carry tunes
My guys pack heat, enough to bury June
On my feet, I'm gettin′ married soon
Walkin' in the clouds like Mary Bethune
Fumes of a real nigga seep into your room


Or through 15s of the Jeep that you broom
Son so many cats, they call me High Noon
Offer ends to Oshun, hopin′ war's over soon
Guard your grill like George Foreman
Time to build, as far as buildin′, I'm the doorman
Openin' doors, my blood I expose on the floor
Tell ′em the game ain′t only to score

Hold on to your life as I carry these styles
To have you tappin' your head like Darius Miles
You ain′t supposed to rhyme, better off with a clothing line
In this business of pimps, many hoes get signed
A bolster shines of me holdin' the blinds
Mixin′ golden seal and wine, holdin' a nine

In the Age of Aquarius
The water bearer comes
To purify the waters
Flyin′ through the night
So watch out, here he comes
Aquarius


Between churches and liquor stores, my mic meets
With raps all over your head like tweed
Playin' with yourself, thinkin' the game is just wealth
Hot for a minute, watch your name just melt
Same spot where it′s joy is where the pain is felt
Is it build and destroy, Joe, remain yourself?
They say I′m slept on, now I'm buckin′ in dreams
And rhyme with the mind of a hustler scheme

Or the struggle of fiends
I flow over waters as it's troubled, it seems
For the love of the team, tryna double the dream
Be grateful like the church song my grandmother sings
I′m rubbin' my rings across the domes of clones

Punchlines like Roy Jones with poems
While you and your dogs foam at the mouth
Thinkin′ rap is the only way out
The black ruler genius'll never play out

I take your way out, where you never been before
Been it since birth, sent to replenish the Earth
That truck that you roll is like a miniature hearse
I deaded your shit before you finished the verse
From niggas to gods, from bitches to earths
From that to Chuck Turner that lives in my verse
Realness is an act that you cannot rehearse
Holla back, but listen first

We in the Age of Aquarius
The water bearer comes
To purify the waters
Flyin' through the night
So watch out, here he comes
Aquarius
