Love Of My Life (Live) The Roots (Ft. Common)

[Intro: Black Thought]
Uh...this what I'm talkin' 'bout
This what I'm talkin' 'bout
Y'all feeling that shit right there?
If y'all feel that shit right about now, come on, y'all
Make some noise if you're with me
Come on, y'all, make some noise if you're with me
Make some noise if you're with me
Make some noise if you're with me

[Chorus: Black Thought]
It's like that, y'all, and it sounds so nice
Hip-hop, you the love of my life
We 'bout to go to the top, y'all, hip-hop love
To the top, what, hip-hop, check it out
It's like that, y'all, and it sounds so nice
Hip-hop, you the love of my life
We 'bout to go to the, to the, to the, to the
To the, to the, to the, to the, to the
Check it out, yo

[Verse 1: Black Thought]
The anticipation arose as time froze
I stared off the stage with my eyes closed
And dove into the deep cosmos
The impact pushed back 25 rows
But before the raw live shows
Common, I's a little snot-nosed
Rockin' Gazelle goggles and Izod clothes
Learnin' the ropes of ghetto survival
Peepin' out the situation I had to slide through
Had to watch my back, my front, plus my sides, too
When it came to gettin' mine I ain't tryin' to argue
Sometimes I wouldn'ta made it if it wasn't for you
Hip-hop, you the love of my life and that's true
When I was handlin' the shit I had to do
It was all for you, from the door for you
Speak through you, gettin' paper on tour for you
From the start, Thought was down by law for you
I used to hit up every corner store wall for you
Yo, I ripped shit, and kept it hardcore for you
Yo, I remember late nights, fiendin' for the mic
Hip-hop, you the love of my life
