Common - Invocation Lyrics
Common:Envisioning the hereafter, listenin to steve wonderOn a quest for love like the proceed drummerI strike like lightning and dont need thunderInhale imagination and breathe wonderThats your lady, I used to run up in her and g weed from herIts a cold world and niggaz need summerAt times my going forward seems like retreatAs I be writin rhyme after rhyme and throw away beatsGrowing into my britches, outgrowing the streetsTheres a thin line between war and peace, whores and jeepsIgnore mcs like beeps, scribblin freedom on pagesMy third eye is like pink eye, seemin contagiousRedeemin the ancients with ace this rhyme jargonI feel mexican, hip hop is my gardenDont give a ***** where you chartin, certain shit I cant honorIt aint that you sellin, its your karmaRappers I monitor like a chaperone, you large and havent grownPoetically perform fly-bys, another rapper goneThe stage becomes a catacomb, I rap like a mummyNot for the money, I could have sampled diana ross a long time agoMy mind of flow is like motor key 20Youngblood said he had dimes, I prayed that he see twentyHollerin at the brothers, either you gon be a thug or a manFlip drugs and get land, I can see my man rashadAs he described how the bucks hit himAnd said slugs was still stuck in him, when it rained, it *****ed witHimThis bucket interrupt wisdom and asked when my album was cominI said its hereIts here(echoed)
