Yeah! The war zone. Who you fighting for?
[Verse 1: Common]
It's funk to rhythm and punk to rock
loud like shot that come from a glock
Pick up your mind, run from the spot
Revolution jumping in the parking lot
Shit is so hot that the sun watch
Children by the window with the gun cocked
they could get robbed and stop the luck (?)
Monkeys dance around for MTV spots
I lock into a....
rock into a rhythm of street and ancient wisdom
Experiment in stereo loud so crank the system
For the humble on the path I paint a vision
How far will a nigga go just for attention
And to be remembered, you forgot the mission
Listen!
Hated journey on the train Always been the same Looking out windows Second class and second best (Oooooooh) What a waste of time Sleep for five stops in a row Prepare yourself to go Waterloo station Bought a '69 Capri Failed the M.O.T. What a waste of time The Worker, the worker The worker, the worker Always kiss the wife good
All traces of life
in our gats we carry
that's used to dress humanity
([Common:] it's a New Wave, Come on!)
[Sung in French]
All traces of life
in our gats we carry
that's used to dress humanity
([Common:] it's a New Wave, Dig it!)
[Sung in French]
This life is precious
it's goddamn? marvelous
before it ever ends
([Common:] it's a New Wave, Come on!)
This life is precious
it's goddamn? marvelous
before it ever ends
([Common:] Come on! Come on!)
[Verse 2: Common]
I lay terror in this era like Che Guevera
for the people to make or wait it's better

Like A Dog lyrics
In all that he takes in all that he shows The higher the stakes the lower the blows And all the mistakes that he's never known Whatever it takes he'll be stealing the show Now he nervously shakes as we rattle his stage But he's happy to be stuck back in his halcyon days Now we're trying hard to reconcile a history of shame But he reinfo
lled real I stay foreverIn all that he takes in all that he shows The higher the stakes the lower the blows And all the mistakes that he's never known Whatever it takes he'll be stealing the show Now he nervously shakes as we rattle his stage But he's happy to be stuck back in his halcyon days Now we're trying hard to reconcile a history of shame But he reinfo
Everyday I lose something I gain forever
Meditate on how I can change the weather
My brainstorm for some it's like (?) umbrella
where bullets and lies both spray together
My mind scream like Al Green "Let's Stay Together"
How could a nigga be so scared of change
That's what you hustle for, for the currency exchange
Ya'll rich, we could beef curry in the game
out your mouth, ain't nobody hurrying my name
You seen what happened when the Com go BANG
Wouldn't have a shot, even at a gun range
Seen hype become fame against the grain become main-stream
It all seems mundane in the scope of thangs

Bury It With Johnny lyrics
Johnny went off to fight the war. They had no idea what lied in store. Off to fight from some unknown shore. To help his country settle the score. Elizabeth was left behind. The only true love he'd ever find. She said I'll wait right here for you. I'll stay loyal and see you through. Elizabeth was good with a pen. She would write

Elizabeth was left behind. The only true love he'd ever find. She said I'll wait right here for you. I'll stay loyal and see you through. Elizabeth was good with a pen. She would write
didn't really see white until I went North
Getting bent on backyards, wishing in the air for a black god
Where people fix cars and clap hard
and look to the stars for rap jobs
I walk through the black fog with reflectors on my boots
smelling war near, I'm connected with the troops
that master anger and ain't afraid to shoot
through poured liquor fallen angels they salute (Whew! Whew!)
Feel the wind blow
A new wave- people with their hair trimmed low
It's two ways living in this world of techno
This age can't really save the ghetto
I pause for the rebels who rock heavy metals
and tell them that they're pharoh so let go
Come on!
[Chorus]
