COMMON lyrics : "Invocation"

[Common:]
Envisioning the hereafter, listenin to Steve Wonder
On a Quest for Love like the Proceed drummer

I strike like lightning and don't need thunder
Inhale imagination and breathe wonder
That's your lady, I used to run up in her and G weed from her

It's a cold world and ^!$$%z need summer
At times my going forward seems like retreat
As I be writin rhyme after rhyme and throw away beats

Growing into my britches, outgrowing the streets
There's a thin line between war and peace, !@^%s and jeeps
Ignore MCs like beeps, scribblin freedom on pages

My third eye is like pink eye, seemin contagious
Redeemin the ancients with ace this rhyme jargon
I feel Mexican, hip hop is my garden

Don't give a $#&@ where you chartin, certain %#@! I can't honor
It ain't that you sellin, it's your karma
Rappers I monitor like a chaperone, you large and haven't grown

Poetically perform fly-bys, another rapper gone
The stage becomes a catacomb, I rap like a mummy
Not for the money, I could have sampled Diana Ross a long time ago

My mind of flow is like motor key 20
Youngblood said he had dimes, I prayed that he see twenty
Hollerin at the brothers, either you gon be a thug or a man

Flip drugs and get land, I can see my man Rashad
As he described how the bucks hit him
And said slugs was still stuck in him, when it rained, it $#&@ed wit

him
This bucket interrupt wisdom and asked when my album was comin
I said it's here

It's here [echoed]
