8 Minutes to Sunrise Common (Ft. Jill Scott)

[Intro: Common]
Yeah, yo, yo, yo-yo, yo, yo
Yo, a touch of jazz, y'all, yeah, yeah
Madam [?], y'all
Yo, they got us on the run like—

[Chorus: Jill Scott]
Eight minutes to sunrise
Oh, baby, now, what are we gonna do? (I don't know, know)
Pressure is mountin'
Oh, baby, now, how we gonna get through? (I don't know)
Can't go left (Uh-uh), can't go right (Uh-uh)
Don't know, how we made it through the night (C'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
Seven minutes to sunrise
Oh, baby, now, what are we gonna do? (Do it, do it)

[Verse 1: Common]
It was once said by Black Thought that Things Fall Apart
Knew I shouldn't have been messin with dude's girl from start
But I pimp from the heart, the art of it made it interestin'
Plus me and sister blend before we got intimate
Friend or no friend, my man caught wind
This chick is payin' me, it'll either cost me or cost him
Told her she should've lost him (When?) a while ago
'Cause dude'll drink a pile of Mo' and defile her, yo
I ain't here to start on this **** for me to wreck his broad
You could tell what I thought of this [nigga]
Nickname was Smoke, don't know if that was 'cause of cigarettes
(Or what?) Or guns he tote, he called shots on the deck
So I wasn't tryin' to call his bluff by his persona
You could see, he think he tough
If that wasn't enough, old girl had his son
This is Wild like the West I'm like Jesse on the run, uhh
