Time Travelin' (a Tribute To Fela) Lyrics - Common Sense

[Vinia Mojica] 

*Singing in Spanish* 

[Common] 

What what, we do this time 

Rock rock.... 

Yes, let this music travel through you 

Talk about feelings, yeah yo 

Yo wassup world? 

Yo what's happening? 

It's the C-double-O and I'm back again 

Take this back and then, tell a friend 

Spaces and places you been, time travelin *echoes* 

Time travelin *echoes* 

Yo, I was a piano player in my last lifetime 

Now I write rhymes, sip white wine and let my light shine 

Out the dark space, with the world on my mind like Scarface 

though my sex drive like a car chase 

More than a uhh, it's the piece of mind I chase 

Stakes are high, like my uncle is 

We both got problems, he never confronted his 

Under the bridge I wrote, some shit to stay afloat 

And paint a picture, raw like the first coat 

Send my old man a note to keep his phone on 

My little 'cause'll know cheap tricks are homegrown 

Travel to a place sweeter than home, listenin to Nina Simone 

Repeat this psalm, to the sky I'm keepin my palms 

Facin the east, actions macin the beast 

Embracin the streets, my god caught a case 'cause he beat 

His lady down, it's two-thou 

That ain't the way we lay it down 

Souls get, found and lost at the roads they cross 

Many paid dues, but few knew the costs 

I ran through the Moss like Randy 

Touchindown wit God, close friends, and family 

Recognize the voice in the wilderness 

Com Sense, '92 and I'm still in this 

Time travelin, took my time in hand 

My rhyme learn and plan 

Jealousy, money and pride can burn a man 

Some walk but never learn to stand 

Still, afraid to expand what they feel 

I'm dealin wit, wakes, marriages 

ATM's, Ericsson's 

Loud niggas that whisper carelessness 

If we livin in Revelation 

Why should the people of the sun have to run? 

Come to Esau in a year, he'll have freedom 

He ask why I hadn't been to see him 

Really, I ain't have a good reason 

He said, "Rah, give back what you receivin" 

In a race against time, I was caught 

In the same game as you, but long live the sport 

It's time travelin 

It's the C-double-O and I'm back again 

Take this back and then, tell a friend 

Spaces and places you been 

Time travelin *fades out* time travelin.... 

Time travelin *echoes* 

Time travelin *echoes* 

Yeah, yo wassup world, yo what's happening? 

It's the C-double-O and I'm back again 

Take this back and then, tell a friend 

Spaces and places you been 

Time travelin *echoes*
