(repeat 2X, then 2X with 'Common' at the end of each line) 

Check it out 

Good morning... be at calm, I'm back 

HUH! It's me again 

Is it me you're looking for? (Yup) 

For the perfect beat, sweetly oblique 

I'm fresh, I come clean, but I can't whistle 

*attempt at whistling* Psss, I'm only buggin 

While No dug in the crates, I dug in my nose 

and picked a rhyme any rhyme I don't have any time 

to waste, I'm hip... don't even trip 

to an easy travel agent now we fly for free 

I can be fly for free, you want some flyer to read 

then buy from me 

I got the flame like U-I-C but I be, U-A-C 

Some of the realest illest chillest cats you may see 

in your life if you get one 

Rappers are like jobs to me (why?) because they get done 

Here it comes I'm as Able as Cain to get raw 

That's why the DJ's mix me, I'm gonna bust dickses 

not da bomb so save all your threats 

I'm good to go and also I'm Rets 

Rhymes I wrecks affects the roughnecks 

down to the preps in the Polos, the studs with pros 

hoes who wheeze, the bald-headed to the dreaded 

To folks with butters, high rollers and rollers 

Players with plat studs with stocking caps I be rocking raps 

til I collapse 

Niggaz play my tape about as much as they do craps 

I'm on point, I celo, I see high 

Hi C, I'm free at last 

I'ma free man, free as the world be 

and like an early bird, I'm special 

But you ain't that special, as that investor 

So to myself I say congratulations 

I'm glad you had the patience, you better have the patience 

Cause thisisme

Common! 

(repeat 3X) 

Whassup Scony Rony I'm that boney homey 

from Stoney (Common) you know me! 

Off the GP niggaz see me on the TV 

Talkin Take It EZ, and they was like "He ain't hardcore!" 

But hardcore is far more than bats and gats 

It stems back to the roots of being true 

It's gonna get me Me, you just get you You 

What I look like, talkin about some shit I ain't do? 

I ain't shoot nobody I ain't shank nobody 

I ain't kill nobody, it wasn't us it was THEM! 

The Warriors, I'm a warrior and still don't have to show no gun 

It takes one to know one, and no one can tell me 

how to be, cause I'ma be me, aight? 

Cause I'm a man, now check it

Common! 

(repeat 3X) 

*singing* Sometimes, sometimes, I get a good feeling! 

When I'm chillin at the flat, lookin at the wall 

Wondering can I come off of it, I'm off a bit 

on the mic I be talkin shit 

But some say my talk don't make no Sense 

I'm tryin to make the Dollars, my momma told me 

to go to school and be a scholar, but school ain't for me 

So don't even go there, I'm comin out of nowhere, to go where 

probably in about seven years, I won't have no hair 

But not only am I the Hair Club President, I'm also a client 

I come off like a toupee, I still have to pay 2Pc Dark 

A Raider that never Lost the Ark/arc, on the shot 

but now when I shoot rock, I be all out of breath 

My boy Adefo wanted to be a chef 

But he went down South, and fell in love call me love 

cause love is gonna getcha I'ma getcha 

I'm like B.J. my Arm is Strong and I Stretch ya 

Styles from East to West, all across the country 

I'm like that big fat one niggaz catch when bumpin 

I probably would get bumped more if I was a gangster 

But I am a gangsta, call me the gangsta of love!!! 

I love good music, I love my momma 

I love myself, I love you, and you love me 

And thisis -- I'm out 

(KRS sample plays in background) 

Yo I wanna say peace to my moms, my grandmomma 

Lil Chandra, and John, yo rest in peace to my Aunt Stella 

My sides moms, Ron's moms, Dawn's moms, Corey's moms 

Who are you? These people be themselves y'all, peace em out 

Common! (4X)
