An appetite for seduction and it gotta be fed
The sexual eruption got you hitting your head

On the board and knock and screaming, oh Lord

And listen to your body and low key party
And I keep pushing and pushing, you 'bout to volley em' up

Girl, ya been touched by the forces of nature

Sex 4 suga, suga 4 sex
Sex 4 suga, suga 4 sex
Sex 4 suga, suga 4 sex
Sex 4 suga, suga 4 sex

(Common - Verse 1)
Girl...ooh, you look uh!!!1
You're the type of thick that I cain't give up
What's your name? I cain't hear ya
Will it be alright if I called you Suga?
You could call me +Smokey+, I'll be the +Bear+
Your smell is sexy, it's all in the air
Whatcha got girl? It's so unfair
I like the way you move so keep it right there
or you can do what you wanna do
I'm just glad I'm in front of you
But I don't mind bein behind
'cause I'ma touch you where the sun don't shine!
Got my hand on the money while you on the grind
In tune with you, 'cause you so fine
And when you wine it's genu-wine
Get on my vine and we can climb

(Chorus 2X)

(Common - Verse 2)
Heard you used to dance at Magic Ci-tay
The other girls couldn'ta been half as pret-tay
You look so sexy when you grab them -
OOOOOOOH!!!...oh, yes!
Suga good Lord, you've been blessed
If this is a sin, I must confess
The way you dress, is like birdless
I guess you don't mind bein undressed
I like the way it's goin down
Hips are movin all around
Round and round, upside down
I once was lost but now I'm found!
Sweetheart, can you give me another round?
Sweatin like you losin pounds
Touch the ground, makin sounds
Suga ooh Suga, you wear the crown

(Chorus 2X)

(Common - Verse 3)

(Chorus 2X)

(feat. Pharrell)

I'm fin' to take you to the tip top baby
I'm fin' to take you to the tip top baby
I'm fin' to take you to the tip top baby

Everybody I'd like to announce
Throw you hands up when we in the house
Yeah, this is hip hop baby
I'm fin' to take you to the tip top baby

And tell your girl that the tickets is out
And we gon' do it till they kickin' us out
'Cause this is hip hop baby
I'm fin' to take you to the tip top baby

Live from the South Side this one
Hide your gun, representing Chi-Town to the fullest
Raps or bullets, see them rappers, they be duckin'
When Com be buckin' in the kitchen, fuckin'

On the sink, got my mama a mink
Think Common is the link, thought the game was extinct
Lay there, them jeans is as slim as Shady
Brought 'em back from the 80's, now let's make some babies

Freestyle paid off so Lincoln paid me
No we can push more whips than slavery
Alex Haley and this rap shit, my roots is deep
You heard the bitch is you, yeah I know what's beef

Let it cook and I pop like grease
You thirsty niggas can't stop my feast, uh
I still love her, she be needin' the dick
When it come to hip hop it's just me and my bitch, uh

Everybody I'd like to announce
Throw you hands up when we in the house
Yeah, this is hip hop baby
I'm fin' to take you to the tip top baby

And tell your girl that the tickets is out
And we gon' do it till they kickin' us out
'Cause this is hip hop baby
I'm fin' to take you to the tip top baby

Baby, you're like, what the fuck? There is no other
Valet crushed my Rolls so quickly I bought another
Sorry Mr. William moved out the building
Spot to the top, fifty feet with was the ceiling

Slow down son, you're killin' 'em, well funded it was not
Came to shitty deals, reminiscing give me chills
When Puff was with Biggie, Versace on every niggie
The backpacker copped the Porsche and drove to his city

Now all the little bitties from ugly to pretty
I was the magician mesmerize 'em, made 'em listen
My dick is like a Blow Pop baby
And it gets stiffer than some Botox baby

But show out baby and show me you ain't gon' act right
And I'll be pedaling backwards like a track bike
She ain't know the Casio cost a hundred
It's been two years since I done it, now all the rappers want it, what?

Everybody I'd like to announce
Throw you hands up when we in the house
Yeah, this is hip hop baby
I'm fin' to take you to the tip top baby

And tell your girl that the tickets is out
And we gon' do it till they kickin' us out
'Cause this is hip hop baby
I'm fin' to take you to the tip top baby

As I sit back, relax with Chicago on my back
Unzip the backpack, pull out a fifth of Jack
I'll probably go to jail for, naw that ain't me
I style crazy and act like Jay-Z

The black Kojak, I get money and want mo' stacks
The rap photographer, the way the flow stop
Broads say, "Are you a philosopher?"
"Yeah yeah, I philosophize on top of ya" Uh!

Everybody I'd like to announce
Throw you hands up when we in the house
Yeah, this is hip hop baby
I'm fin' to take you to the tip top baby

And tell your girl that the tickets is out
And we gon' do it till they kickin' us out
'Cause this is hip hop baby
I'm fin' to take you to the tip top baby

Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing

(Chorus: Pharrell Williams)
Nothing you can do (4X)

(Intro)
They say he's a radical, he don't fit the game
A heart full of glory and a fist of pain
A couple of battle scars but shit's the same
Are you not entertained
So all the onlookers and the bystanders
Wait til intermission, run buy your camera
Record the moment, cause it'll be platinum
And you could say you seen Common rock the stadium

(Verse 1)
I was told by a wise old to come from the heart
Though I might've did The Light, I don't run from the dark
The dark knight to spark mics, and start fights
The warrior archetype like Kimbo Slice
It's strength in the beard, am I loved or feared
A beast amongst boys like Paul I'm revered
Vroof, vroof vroof vroof vroof Vroof vroof well
Like Jacob Jewel, I keep clientele
You frail on the mic like you might break a nail
I might smoke a joint but I won't take the L
I knew a fat girl who broke the scale
Still touched down cause I was off Artell
Had dreams of breaking Mike Vick out of jail
Took the underground rail to the end that failed
I rebel, NYSL
Here to leave a trail like Nelson Mandela

(Chorus)

(Intro)

(Verse 2)
My words is the sword, my skill is the shield
My life is the style I stay dressed to kill
A legend like Will Smith with the steel
I could save the world when shit get for real
Skinny George Foreman, all in your grill
My rhyme style is blind, it's all in the feel
Touch it and watch the blood fall with the steel
The weak raps you wrote you could call that your will
My drive VROOM is how I stay the livest
Your guys got you gassed, my flow is a hybrid
Crashed I survived it, gashes over eyelids
You easy to take out cause you hot garbage
I'm amped like wattage, the truth nigga honest
Any moment opponents drop out like college
Kneel and pay homage to the rap Ziggy Stardust
Stadium hands in the air fists balled up

(Chorus)

(Intro)

(Verse 3)
Feet in the dirt, blood on the shirt
Scars over bars, symbols of the work
Tight clothes the armor, center of the drama
Defeat your whole army like this is Sparta
So don't violate or you'll get violated
Some of you model bitches is so overrated
Don't mean to underrate it but damn it I made it
In the water I waded on the corner I painted
Draw blood like we related
MCs get de-decapitated
Syncopated is the style that I fight with, write with
Mr. Excitement, change your face up like a white chick
Then light shit up like a dread with the herbs
Get sex in the city and head in the burbs
These are the words of a radical
The crowd applaud, I'm bowed, I'm proud
To be the gladiator

(Chorus)

(Intro)

The Gladiator

I'm the river, that flow to the hood, to the woods, to the birds, to the mud, to the bricks over the curves
To the force bizarrs got with 4 acres in the worst to worst
Planted chrome for the young seeds to know
Trees is blowin, we see changes in the wind
This is new day and I gotta take it in
See a black?, we need him to win
Young I search search for a better tomorrow
Let the belief leave away and the angels hallo
Open doors for a hope for to go to
Cause I would chose so and I supposed to

[Chorus x2: Muhsinah]
I know that change come come
The race begun, where all most stare oh yeah

[Verse 2: Common]
I spoke like a child, I wrote like a child
I always smile, let my mind float like a child
Wishin I was smart as these kids are now
All grown ups still wishin I'm a child again
Church saw remaind me to stay grateful
A more y remaind me to stay playful
Day's go by, my life all high
I leave all my walks so the fight don't die
And me, I found a purpose, why I'm MC
It's vital young world to be greated than me
I follow wake and the dream as song
So the little shorty's can sing along

[Chorus: x2]
I know that change come come
The race begun, where all most stare oh yeah

[Verse 3: Common]
Welcome children, welcome me
Your's sentimentces felt in me
I see the future and the walking path
Don't let these fool take you off your path
Laugh if you need to, smile if you need to
Life is a trip while a long and proceed to
Try to believe to, do what you wanna do
Remember your're kings and queens and still humble to
Life is a funny you no need to look back again
Victory can be claim while you still battleing
Drive along with a food I provide you
To awake and the voice that's inside you

[Chorus: x2]
I know that change come come
The race begun, where all most stare oh yeah

Changes is in arable, you can stop it
Changes happening and everybody is like
Changes is like the furious hurricane, that you can't stop
What is change? change is Martin Luther King jr, Ghandi,
Shakespeare, Tupac Shakur, Barack Obama
And you can't forget Common
Changes gone happen
Change is hope.

[scratches] Inhale

I breathe deep
Like an old man in a deep sleep
Or an Indian peace pipe
Identity be
The beginning, the end, the first, the last
Breathe into infinity
A verse that lasts
Got a chick in the south that be cursin' fast
When it was she tried a nigga nurse it last (?)

The hunger of a homeless
Microphonus
Played the game - it got a bonus
Man is the plan
The master like Tiger
So much is the drive
I am the definition of a rider
Daughter's name means survivor
From a tribe-a
Colliders
Just one word can't describe her
A scribe of the streets
And a good life that we all wanna reach
I'm hotter than a beach
Flow is so deep
Even underwater
I can inhale to bring the world in order

[scratches] Inhale

What do you see when you look at me
And I am just standing there
Shit that makes all much work??
Thats whats in my blood
And I wont stop untill I cut
Cause my life just burned out
So I keep down in a wollen town??
Till I reach the top

What a world
What a world [x4]

A little boy from Chicago had ?? to be a star

(Chorus: Martina Topley-Bird)
How did you know I've been waiting for this time to come?
And though it tastes like forever
it may not stay long
Everywhere is summer. (4x)

(Verse 1: Martina Topley-Bird)
A shaman since before my birth
And I came down to rock the Earth
My misson condition:
I give you, you listen
I'm syncing in time in parallel
In binary, no 3rd return
I'm planning intention
With all the redemption

(Chorus)

(Verse 2: Common)
No pop, no pop, no pop, no pop
We gon'do this thang till the sky just drop
Lock in to ya mind away we rock,
In a rocket is the 87 astronaut
Top of the soul, dove and I got in a hole
At the moment they were sayin
"It was outta control"
Strap in to your mind
Why eyes see some recline
You'll see in time your season to shine
When the stadium is dark
MCs are defined
Get ready, on your mark, put your feet on the line
The race is on to space beyond
You gon'get there by doin what you want
Sometimes the most famous feel all alone
So we drift to a place that we call our home
I was known as being spaced and outta my dome
Now I know, it's all I've know

(Chorus)
