(Lately) I’ve Been Thinking Common (Ft. Sean Lett)

[Intro: Common]
Yeah, one-two, bless
Yeah yeah, check it
I got my mellow Sean Lett
He gon' get down for y'all Chicago style, '87
You know the bidness
Check it!

[Chorus: Common & Sean Lett]
After eight years of my life, of smokin' and drinkin'
The world keeps spinnin', so lately I've been thinkin'
After eight years of my life, of smokin' and drinkin'
The world keeps spinnin', so lately I've been thinkin'

[Verse 1: Common]
Nearest to the go gothic, a cash flow prophet
Methods of gettin' scratch and talkin' slick I've adopted
Palms in the lock with stunts whose hearts be game
Hoes in the stable, none do I claim
Niggas with nothin' to shoot for, at they only aim
Gramps in the choir singin' "It's gonna rain"
In the midst of precipitation, I make the power
Manipulations, so my offspring'll be straight for generations
Got connections in the nation
To incarceration, to general population
More lyrics than Jason, look me in the face when you speak to me
You got a tattoo? Bitch, you's a freak to me
Seekin' the, good sess material
Askin' when's my next video
Bitch, get a job and get your ass in somebody's university
Enroll your young'un in a nursery
And clean him up, comb his hair, cover yourself
You want a man to love you? Tou ain't lovin' yourself
I'm discoverin' wealth watches wisdom in ways
To make it in the last days, now bring it on
