Common - Resurrection Lyrics
Verse one:I stagger in the gathering possessed by a patter-inThat be scatterinOver the globe will my vocals be travellinUnravellin my abdomen its slime thats babblinGrammatics that are masculineI grab them in, verbally badgerin broadsI wish that madelline, was back on video lpI went against all odds and got a even stevenProceed to read and not believin everything Im readinBut my brain was bleedin, needin feedin, and exerciseI didnt seek the best of buys, its a lie to textualizeI analyze where I rest my eyesAnd chastise the best of guys with punchlinesIm nestle when its crunch-timeFor your mind like one timeIf poetry was ***** Id be sunshineCause I deliver like the sun-timesConfined in once-mines on dumb rhymes I combineIm hype like Im unsigned, my diet I unswineEatin beef sometimes I try to cut back on that shitThis rap shit is truly outta controlMy style is too developed to be arrestedIts the freestyle, so now its out on paroleThey tried to hold my soul in a holding cell so I would sellI bonded with a break and had enough to make bailA misdemeanor fell on his knee for the juryI asked no for his Id and the judge thought there was two of meMotion for a recess to retest my fingerprintsThey relinquished since, cause I was guilty in a senseVerse two:I ride the rhythm like a schwinn bike when in dim lightI use insight to enlight devices hit the skin tightWords of wisdom wail from my windpipeImaginations in flightI send light, like bens kite Ive been brightGet open like on gym nightsAnd in fights I send rightsDont hook with skins my friends likeI spend nights up in dykesIn spite Ive been indicted as a freak of all tradesI got it madeI bathe in basslines, rinse in riffs, dry in drumsCome from a tribe of bumsHooked on negro and mumsHad to halt with the, malt liquorCause off the malt liquor I fought niggazNow my speech is lost quickerCruisin southside streets with no heat and no stickerU ak got my back and we dont get no thickerU ak got my back and we dont get no thickerU ak got my back and we dont now check itIm a hoe but not a hoe nigga, aint scared of no niggaBut its my turn to go I gotta goAnd Im gone with the storm
