Tekzilla Lyrics - Common

(featuring Hi-Tek) 

[Common] 

On the streets on the side 

I look a man in his face eye to eye 

And wonder why 

I don't wanna die 

I hope you don't wanna die 

So why bring it my way? 

"Common Sense in a ghetto in Chicago"

Yo Tekzilla 

You know I ain't the type to play killa 

But this day still arrives in my mind like a flight on down 

Thursday night had plans to be out 

Till the night served daylight 

But it ain't happen 

Rappin' to myself cause there wasn't noone to rap to 

This feeling came to me like somebody lookin' at you 

There was these cats who me and my crew boxed against 

Gotta - spotted the glock now the nigga's got some confidence 

Cause I'm Common Sense and I rap consciousness 

He was prop to dis mad cause my guy used to knock his bitch 

I could sense he was tryin' to bring it 

But I wasn't ready to receive it 

In fact I made him leave it 

Before he could achieve it 

As we rolled through the streets of cottage grove 

And reach the stoplight 

Behind me, he flashed lights bright, sorta cop-like 

I'm thinkin' Tupac-like cause he got out the car 

I was taught only to fight in defense or the in will of Allah 

And ain't no talking when it's time to spar 

So before he popped some shit I did? I act my shit is solo? 

Back his lady trying to hold him like big pun 

I stowed 'em and told 'em 

I ain't'a shoot I just punch a lot 

Between blows this nig' tried to up his glock 

His brother watched spooked like a daddy on teenage love 

He got 'buked til my tape I got sing like a dove 

Got his dome into her 

My fist brought back the one hand 

Tried to pop it musta been a nine cause the gun jammed 

Unplanned I disarm this trick nigga 

Pistol-whipped his ass, his lady's I was palmin' it 

Hollered '87 reign dominant 

Needed a fight that night 

Me and my woman had a argument 

Photos 

"I guess I should tell you a little something about myself" 

"I bang with the big boys, those who obey" 

[Common] 

Hey now why you gotta hold yo' thang? 

Scared to shoot, scared to shoot 

Shoot for the revolut- 

yo 

Peace y'all Common Sense and Hi Tek 

Traveling the world it's just a day in the life 

Of real niggas
