Common Logic / Midnight Marauder

May I ask in what way your life is contributing to society

As you sit here day after day after day

In this dark room, stringing along on that stupid guitar?

Have you ever thought about that?

What are you doing for the world or for other people?

Day after day, hour after hour, night after night

Me and my homies just chillin' feelin' the vibes

This the time of our lives but many don't realize

Havin' visions of livin' on another level

Never signed with the devil

The rebel that we fuck around with the treble

Bumping tribe in the system like penicillin

Motherfucker I'm killing

Spittin' venomous never remember this it's like a system

Say it then I do it, I never missed 'em

Fuck 'em after I kissed 'em

Sit back and listen, my chain it glisten

It's like I'm from another dimension

Did I mention my circles smaller than an intervention

Then some, beautiful women tell me I'm handsome

Then I, snatch they heart and make the pussy the ransom

I fuck them until inside they belly burst

Stop it, drop the beat and then we cue the verse

Spitting lyrics like how a Mac-11 really disperse

Slaughter MCs and resurrect them when they in the hearse

They say I got too many styles bitch I've been diverse

They scared to jump in the cypher I be all up in it first

My apologies but if you're after me then it gets worse

When I come through I spit voodoo and leave them cursed

Common logic

This is the realest

Only unto the real shall I reveal this

I even made this beat my self just so y'all could feel this

From Nasty Nas to Big L to A Tribe Called Quest

We the Rattpack in other words the tribe that's next

It's been a long time

And I ain't even in my prime

I remember many moons ago spitting the realest lines

On the come up

Matter of fact it was long before that

Before I bought my first mic, before I could afford that

This is a letter to the underground the place where I'm from

This is a letter to the fans that understand what I've done

And even though I've gotta leave man don't none of y'all grieve

Cause even in the mainstream that lyricism I breathe

Some of y'all love my raw records, some of y'all don't

Some of y'all will love my radio shit, some of y'all won't

Just like my race, my music has always been yin and yang

Something for everybody no not just one lane

And on the real I'll never forget the day I got my deal

Full creative control and the money was unreal

Started from the bottom and got here cause of my skill

And I never set a goal that I didn't plan to fulfill

You're not any less of a man if you don't pull the trigger

You're not necessarily a man if you do
