Common - Cloth lyrics

[Verse 1] We were from different cities on the same block Grew up in different circles in the same spot Like raindrops we fall in love giving our all Showing her ring off like a player at the ball I recall the walls that I had up Attracted to women for things that didn't matter Ka-clow boom pop! Sound of my heart when it drop The night that I met her, it might be forever I hear people saying that they like us together I ain't afraid to gamble when life is getting better With you, I admit I had issues Like ebony, your essence, your pedigree, your presence It's more than clothes can say for you When I shop I gotta spend more than a day for you I pray for you and us, that we imbue through lust And accrue the trust, let's shake off the dust from the cloth [Hook] Oh you're worried about when people stop and stare That's just a tear on those beautiful clothes you wear Cut from the same, cloth you just want to wear But that's just a tear because girl I can get you fresh La la la la, la la la la [Verse 2] This is tailor-made love, fit like a snug Anything we can bear so let's have some cubs You were there when my cuz pa**ed away Not only does love, but life hatches day I appreciate the hugs and the days I breed with you Strong seeds I can see with you, the good word I read with you Looking at things that we've been through Things that seem simple I know when to go hard and when to be gentle Sentimental laughs and expressions Let's stay in the present, no time for second guessing You said it's this cloth that makes you feel naked The truth we address it, that's so unexpected Yeah that's the thread that helps us move ahead Your hunger for affection will always be fed Thank God we never sped and let love take it's course Because what's inside of us, no need to outsource The cloth [Hook] [Verse 3] Hey lover we can cover each other Through the coldest nights, tight never smother It's two things that seems to hold us together God is our tailor and forever It's two things that seems to hold us together God is our tailor and forever It's two things that seems to hold us together God is our tailor and forever It's the cloth [Hook]
