[Intro: Swizz Beatz]
This that Common, this that Common
But none that we do is ever that common (Let's go, woo)
This that cold, this that cold (Woo)
And none that we do gon' ever be normal (Let's go)

[Verse 1: Common & Swizz Beatz]
Free a nigga mind, free a nigga dome
Freedom is a line (Damn), even if it's long
Keep it on the stones (Woo)
Pockets full of uh
Rocket full of uh (Damn)
I'm cold niggas freeze like I'm 'bout to stick 'em up (Geez)
I'm particular about my vernacular (Yes)
I'm not particular 'bout what I got off in this cup (Shot)
This section man they hate us, man they say we not enough
Uh huh, started from the bottom now we up, up, up, up (Geez)
Turn a nigga up, up
Why you tryna buck up?
Photoshop hustler, picture gettin' touched up (Come on)
I'm a constructor of tearin' down structure
They wanna cuff us, really it's just us
That's why we kick dust off (Woo)
Noreaga, what? What?
Like Jigga, nigga what? What?
Who? Who? Don't care about what other crews do
I cruise through, crucial
Black like voodoo, a guru of the new, new (Yeah, yeah)

[Chorus: Swizz Beatz]
They waitin' on you to come outside (Come outside, oh)
Just so they can downplay your life (Downplay your life)
But I'm never scared (Oh), I'm never scared (Oh)
Can't move me and I've been there (And I've been there)

[Verse 2: Common & Swizz Beatz]
Na-na-na-na now nigga now free your mind (Yeah)
We keep e-e-e-erupting time
Cut us we gon' bleed up divine (Geez)
Turnin' that wood, we up and wine
We on the grind (Oh)
Grinding, designing
Like Virgil Abloh, we shining (Off)
We move mountains while climbing (Woo)
I'm into fine things, like dining with fine things (Common)
My dreams found wings on the back of the struggle
Pull a back muscle, back to the hustle
Rap for the duffle and the black couples
That lay troubles down and let love do, it's diligence (Geez)
I'm militant for villages, the villainous they pillage us
But will it with the real in us?
(Talk to 'em, talk to 'em, talk to 'em)

[Chorus: Swizz Beatz]
They waitin' on you to come outside (Outside, Goddamn, Goddamn)
Just so they can downplay your life (Downplay your life)
But I'm never scared, I'm never scared (Goddamn, Goddamn)
Can't move me and I've been there (And I've been there, yeah)

[Verse 3: Common & Swizz Beatz]
Ghost of the past telling me to blast
Telling me to fast, telling me to go whoop a nigga ass (Oh)
Vast is the task that grasp the mask cast
Over the mass that dash for cash that last fast (Talk to 'em)
Slow down, we can hold down
The fort of profound, thoughts that go 'round
The world is your town, it's my town
It's the new wave, we on high ground, come on (Hey)

[Bridge: Swizz Beatz]
What you just heard, was exclusive
Common, show team
Something, something, something, something
God damn it (God damn it, God damn it)

[Verse 4: Marcato]
Rock back swallow [?] you're crazy (yeah)
Meaning, I'm solid than you made me
Baby, I'm sorry
Baby, I'm changing
Note down [?] what we're facing
And see what their face is
My guess is not good but [?]

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.
