Common: Play dis

CHORUS [Saukrates] Little piece of sumpin' "Play" "Orginial rap" "Play" Little piece of sumpin' "Play" "Hardcore in hip-hop" [Saukrates] Amazed dudes to wack crews Lay it down Kids could never walk a mile in my shoes Shorties clockin' me Always be coming in the two Niggas from the north I'm bringing you tracks and good news My debut was real to the blind industry minds Who never had the time Now kids press rewind to the top But legally I gotta show love Call me A, B and C, the answers D All of the above I attack the microphone like Jack Ripper Real for stacks, leaving kids no headroom like Max Try to react, but you were never calm And never, could kick a verse When worse come to worse I'm better Shine like genuine rhine and black patented leather On half naked honeys who forgot about the weather Fuck an exhibition, and warm up scrimmage Shoot more words that Macho Man spit gism in the village CHORUS [Common Sense] Stimulated by a tree and drama I advanced on a branch of respect and honor A patient of the Ill state Sittin' in trauma, never been one to side with hama (yeah) For Armageddon, I'm getting armed plus armor The comma of matter on the rise like a tip in the southside diner Your preference to the book of life that likes to pack humid To it I react by staying strapped with the mack and courage Parallel to a carrousel of murders I prefer to make a life than take a life Stopped at a street called Wise and made a right Sort of how I play my broads, just how I play the mic First I cuff it, then finger fuck it Check it something rugged, other niggas be reluctant To touch it after me Passively they strike, never matching me Rapidly, don't placidly I fabricate the verbal tapestry Tap the keg of your conscious Navigate niggas like Farrhakan with a compass CHORUS [Saukrates] Kids setting their watches 5 minutes fast to stay On top of time, but I'm already 10 minutes away Nigga play what you want to play, he say she say But Saukrates got the buttas in T dot O dot today [Common] Slowly but surely I pour the lyric into the glass of your mind My rhyming will be the diamond that will cut through Lines say but you to do, you don't know what to Got wisdom like a tooth Incidentally I get buck too Didn't get my jest, so I just had to do it My mic or your mic, come on no congruent Seen broads in brew to me, be jubilee On my neck be hot jewelry My old man be schooling me For sho' I rock good, cats claim this hood and that hood Black man, your hood is the universe On this Earth, you were first through the worse My crew could hearse Used to go up stairs and we went through the purse I don't cures around juniors Spread live like rumors Niggas loved my tape, but how many were consumers? [Saukrates] Shout out to honeys working them hourgalss hips Stay soprano, reading surano Dramatic episodes, yo Common Let me play with niggas brains like clay kits When I rock stage hits Skip the rumors and lies So you're under the stairs When I drop my hip-hop, you'll be some Maytag repairmen And flip flop the fake, who thought the scored And half-assed niggas sending you back to drawing boards To deliver the real shit, at least we'll spit on your mic I'm versatile like a plate of read grits CHORUS
