Play Dis (99 Sox Remix) Lyrics - Common Sense

CHORUS [Saukrates] 

Little piece of sumpin' 

"Play" 

"Orginial rap" 

"Play" 

Little piece of sumpin' 

"Play" 

"Hardcore in hip-hop" 

[Saukrates] 

Amazed dudes to wack crews 

Lay it down 

Kids could never walk a mile in my shoes 

Shorties clockin' me 

Always be coming in the two 

Niggas from the north 

I'm bringing you tracks and good news 

My debut was real to the blind industry minds 

Who never had the time 

Now kids press rewind to the top 

But legally I gotta show love 

Call me A, B and C, the answers D 

All of the above 

I attack the microphone like Jack Ripper 

Real for stacks, leaving kids no headroom like Max 

Try to react, but you were never calm 

And never, could kick a verse 

When worse come to worse I'm better 

Shine like genuine rhine and black patented leather 

On half naked honeys who forgot about the weather 

Fuck an exhibition, and warm up scrimmage 

Shoot more words that Macho Man spit gism in the village 

CHORUS 

[Common Sense] 

Stimulated by a tree and drama 

I advanced on a branch of respect and honor 

A patient of the Ill state 

Sittin' in trauma, never been one to side with hama (yeah) 

For Armageddon, I'm getting armed plus armor 

The comma of matter on the rise like a tip in the southside diner 

Your preference to the book of life that likes to pack humid 

To it I react by staying strapped with the mack and courage 

Parallel to a carrousel of murders 

I prefer to make a life than take a life 

Stopped at a street called Wise and made a right 

Sort of how I play my broads, just how I play the mic 

First I cuff it, then finger fuck it 

Check it something rugged, other niggas be reluctant 

To touch it after me 

Passively they strike, never matching me 

Rapidly, don't placidly 

I fabricate the verbal tapestry 

Tap the keg of your conscious 

Navigate niggas like Farrhakan with a compass 

CHORUS 

[Saukrates] 

Kids setting their watches 5 minutes fast to stay 

On top of time, but I'm already 10 minutes away 

Nigga play what you want to play, he say she say 

But Saukrates got the buttas in T dot O dot today 

[Common] 

Slowly but surely I pour the lyric into the glass of your mind 

My rhyming will be the diamond that will cut through 

Lines say but you to do, you don't know what to 

Got wisdom like a tooth 

Incidentally I get buck too 

Didn't get my jest, so I just had to do it 

My mic or your mic, come on no congruent 

Seen broads in brew to me, be jubilee 

On my neck be hot jewelry 

My old man be schooling me 

For sho' I rock good, cats claim this hood and that hood 

Black man, your hood is the universe 

On this Earth, you were first through the worse 

My crew could hearse 

Used to go up stairs and we went through the purse 

I don't cures around juniors 

Spread live like rumors 

Niggas loved my tape, but how many were consumers? 

[Saukrates] 

Shout out to honeys working them hourgalss hips 

Stay soprano, reading surano 

Dramatic episodes, yo Common 

Let me play with niggas brains like clay kits 

When I rock stage hits 

Skip the rumors and lies 

So you're under the stairs 

When I drop my hip-hop, you'll be some Maytag repairmen 

And flip flop the fake, who thought the scored 

And half-assed niggas sending you back to drawing boards 

To deliver the real shit, at least we'll spit on your mic 

I'm versatile like a plate of read grits 

CHORUS
