Common - Tekzilla lyrics

(featuring Hi-Tek) [Common] On the streets on the side I look a man in his face eye to eye And wonder why I don't wanna die I hope you don't wanna die So why bring it my way? "Common Sense in a ghetto in Chicago" [Common] Yo Tekzilla You know I ain't the type to play k**a But this day still arrives in my mind like a flight on down Thursday night had plans to be out Till the night served daylight But it ain't happen Rappin' to myself cause there wasn't noone to rap to This feeling came to me like somebody lookin' at you There was these cats who me and my crew boxed against Gotta - spotted the glock now the n***a's got some confidence Cause I'm Common Sense and I rap consciousness He was prop to dis mad cause my guy used to knock his b**h I could sense he was tryin' to bring it But I wasn't ready to receive it In fact I made him leave it Before he could achieve it As we rolled through the streets of cottage grove And reach the stoplight Behind me, he flashed lights bright, sorta cop-like I'm thinkin' Tupac-like cause he got out the car I was taught only to fight in defense or the in will of Allah And ain't no talking when it's time to spar So before he popped some sh** I did ??I act my sh** is solo?? Back his lady trying to hold him like big pun I stowed 'em and told 'em I ain't'a shoot I just punch a lot Between blows this nig' tried to up his glock His brother watched spooked like a daddy on teenage love He got 'buked til my tape I got sing like a dove Got his dome into her My fist brought back the one hand Tried to pop it musta been a nine cause the gun jammed Unplanned I disarm this trick n***a Pistol-whipped his a**, his lady's I was palmin' it Hollered '87 reign dominant Needed a fight that night Me 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 shoot Shoot for the revolut- yo Peace y'all Common Sense and Hi Tek Traveling the world it's just a day in the life Of real n***as
