Common - Tekzilla Lyrics
[Common]On the streets on the sideI look a man in his face eye to eyeAnd wonder whyI don't wanna dieI hope you don't wanna dieSo why bring it my way?"Common Sense in a ghetto in Chicago"[Common]Yo TekzillaYou know I ain't the type to play killaBut this day still arrives in my mind like a flight on downThursday night had plans to be outTill the night served daylightBut it ain't happenRappin' to myself cause there wasn't noone to rap toThis feeling came to me like somebody lookin' at youThere was these cats who me and my crew boxed againstGotta - spotted the glock now the nigga's got some confidenceCause I'm Common Sense and I rap consciousnessHe was prop to dis mad cause my guy used to knock his *****I could sense he was tryin' to bring itBut I wasn't ready to receive itIn fact I made him leave itBefore he could achieve itAs we rolled through the streets of cottage groveAnd reach the stoplightBehind me, he flashed lights bright, sorta cop-likeI'm thinkin' Tupac-like cause he got out the carI was taught only to fight in defense or the in will of AllahAnd ain't no talking when it's time to sparSo before he popped some shit I did ??I act my shit is solo??Back his lady trying to hold him like big punI stowed 'em and told 'emI ain't'a shoot I just punch a lotBetween blows this nig' tried to up his glockHis brother watched spooked like a daddy on teenage loveHe got 'buked til my tape I got sing like a doveGot his dome into herMy fist brought back the one handTried to pop it musta been a nine cause the gun jammedUnplanned I disarm this trick niggaPistol-whipped his ass, his lady's I was palmin' itHollered '87 reign dominantNeeded a fight that nightMe and my woman had a argument"I guess I should tell you a little something about myself""I bang with the big boys, those who obey"[Common]Hey now why you gotta hold yo' thang?Scared to shoot, scared to shootShoot for the revolut-yoPeace y'all Common Sense and Hi TekTraveling the world it's just a day in the lifeOf real niggas
