[Chorus: Paris "PJ" Jones]
What what, do you say
Havin' one of them hell of a nights
Move it, baby
We can make it larger than life
Lead me, baby, yeah, yeah
Need it, baby
Won't beat around the bush like they do
'Cause I see somethin' special in you, yeah
What what, do you say
Havin' one of them hell of a nights
Move it, baby
We can make it larger than life
Lead me, baby, yeah, yeah
Need it, baby
Won't beat around the bush like they do
'Cause I see somethin' special in you

[Verse 1: Common]
Let free be between us, you my Medina
A queen like Amina or Fatima
Redeemer of passion, we both had compassion
For the Black diaspora and all its vastness
You in my plans, thinkin' of a master
The essence of your dance, the truth in your laughter
That I wanna capture and cultivate stature
I'll be here for you 'til the hereafter
There's a clear path to, to the love inside you
My name's Rashid, that means I'm a guide to
We both are driven
That's why we arrive to
A place where now anything we could ride through
To tell the truth, I lied and been lied to
Seeker of a deeper ether, you don't have to hide you
Time to be in front, time to be beside you
I don't wanna move with nobody besides you

[Chorus: Paris "PJ" Jones]
What what, do you say
Havin' one of them hell of a nights
Move it, baby
We can make it larger than life
Lead me, baby, yeah, yeah
Need it, baby
Won't beat around the bush like they do
'Cause I see somethin' special in you, yeah
What what, do you say
Havin' one of them hell of a nights
Move it, baby
We can make it larger than life
Lead me, baby, yeah, yeah
Need it, baby
Won't beat around the bush like they do
'Cause I see somethin' special in you

[Verse 2: Common]
In me you see a leader like Stokley or Mumia
The ways of a king, honorable and sincere
To get the people freed up
The soul of a rebel with his feet up
When it feel like the world about to erupt
I'ma hold you down 'til you see up
Optimism that we got from wisdom
We from the same tribe and we locked in rhythm
To de-block the system
We did lots of livin', and lots of givin'
A higher vibration but it's not religion
I wanna pour into the riches of your bein'
We don't diss each other even when we disagreein'
Let's two-step to freedom and help the world see them-
Selves in God, and every human being
You everything and you happened for a reason
Your presence is a joy to be in, yeah

[Chorus: Paris "PJ" Jones]
What what, do you say
Havin' one of them hell of a nights
Move it, baby
We can make it larger than life
Lead me, baby, yeah, yeah
Need it, baby
Won't beat around the bush like they do
'Cause I see somethin' special in you, yeah
What what, do you say
Havin' one of them hell of a nights
Move it, baby
We can make it larger than life
Lead me, baby, yeah, yeah
Need it, baby
Won't beat around the bush like they do
'Cause I see somethin' special in you, yeah
What what

[Outro: Paris "PJ" Jones]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah

Common

Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr. (born March 13, 1972), better known by his stage name Common (previously Common Sense), is a Grammy and Oscar-winning rapper and actor from Chicago, Illinois. Common’s inspired mix of poetic flow and hip-hop soul has helped him earn his status as one of the most respected rappers in the game.

After being a ball boy for his hometown Chicago Bulls as a teen and attending Florida A&M University for business administration, Common Sense kicked in and he left school to become a rapper. He gained national attention after being featured in the Unsigned Hype column of The Source magazine in 1991. He released his debut album Can I Borrow a Dollar? through Relativity Records in 1992, followed by his breakthrough second album Resurrection in 1994, which features his hip-hop classic single “I Used To Love H.E.R.”

As his career began to take off, he was sued by the music group Common Sense over the name, leading Common to drop the “Sense” and allude to the change in the title of his third album, One Day It’ll All Make Sense (1997). He has released several critically acclaimed albums, including Like Water For Chocolate (2000), which features his J Dilla-produced hit single “The Light”, and Be (2005), which was released under fellow Chicago musician Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music imprint. He also joined musicians Karriem Riggins and Robert Glasper to form the group August Greene, and the trio released their self-titled album in 2018.
