Common Free Style Songtext
von The RH Factor

Common Sense, what can I do? I build and destroy
Doing what I can ′cause you see I be a B-boy
Taking it to the future, I execute you if I have to
You can stand still like a statue
Wondering what's going on like Marvin
I start to carve in my own spot
My man Roy′ll make it hot but we stay cold in the go
The brother Common Sense never stop with the flow

My flow keeps going on and on and
I like to do it 'cause I D in the corns and
I'm not the type to be like that

But when it comes to the empire, yo, I strike back
Yo, I like fat rap, but might be that type of shh

What can I do? I like to spit

On the grave of those who never been a slave
Don′t understand about the things they misbehave
When they see the brother Common Sense through the door
Ask about the dreads, they ask about the flow
They ask about different questions


Questions like the brother Questlove
This is what I do, I suggest love to many
Penny for your thoughts, brother Common Sense
Yo, I′m never taking shorts, ask two
I come through just with my crew
With a little trees and a little bit of brew
But we can chill and just came to build

Brother James Foy is on the keys
What can I do? MCs, they wanna freeze
When they see the brother Common Sense go against 'em
Yo, we got a system
We can break it down for Roy

Hargrove, stars wove in the sky
I told you I could say I′m from the Chi

But I'm from the go
Keep it going and I never stop

Yo, I like to do a show, go to a spot
Maybe the Vanguard and stand hard
With the brother right there on the horn
This is what I′m telling y'all, my words always born
This is how it form, like an application


Playing with yourself, boy, it′s mental masturbation
This is what I'm doing, yo, I just passed the nation
This is what I'm asking you for, application
To come down, Common Sense got the sun sound
I run down different type of thoughts
It′s like this is what I′m doing 'cause I just got the force

Somebody said they seen me in The Source
A long time ago for unsigned hype
I said Common Sense, yo, I been striking mics

Since I was a shorty, used to drink 40s
Now I′m drinking some type of water

Supporting my daughter, y'all

Yo, my guy said it′s like some 80s
This is for the ladies, brothers go crazy
Check it out, I ain't lazy with the style
Common Sense the B from Stony Isle
The only child of Ann Brown, hand down the cross
That′s what she did a long time
Common Sense came then with the strong rhyme
I love to say my name 'cause it's on my brain
What can I do? I ain′t here to just to entertain
I like to teach if I gotta reach

Down for my brother from the window
Let the wind blow from the brother Common Sense, always mental
Roy said get up on this instrumental
The style so free, so I MC
Some call me Com, some call me Rasheed
Down with EB, you know how we do
The brother Common Sense ain′t no neo-soul crew
It's the other type of stuff
Yo, how do you like the government but you ain′t loving it?

Somebody want a covenant

Said cool, we can make it
Common Sense doing the style that's sorta sacred
