Common - Hungry

A lyrical barrage from Common off the album One Day It'll All Make Sense

Lyrics

Yo, niggaz don't want none of this
Niggaz know they can't fuck with this
Turn this shit up just a little more

I walk the night in rhymin armor, bomb a nigga like a winter coat
Have him on Death Row searchin for an Interscope
Yet I sparkle like Irene Cara
Symbolize dope, like sirens do terror
Mary who just had a baby someone else decapitated
Flashbacks of past raps make me so glad I made it
Players is gettin traded
I drop a gem on, them who's style is jaded
My juice is grated
Shit is so bangin niggaz say it's gang related
On philosopher's rink of thought, I've skated with precision
Crews is gettin split like decisions
Com'a let it ride and collision
Vision like Coleco or intele, I battle stars in stellar...
Regions, my thought scheme was my like my offspring
Now, it's teethin
My reason to rhyme applies to season and time
Seizin the mind, body and regions divine
In mom's cookouts, I'm leavin the swine
Verbal vegeterian, squash beef with Ice Cube
Came in this rap like nude
Now I'm fully clothed with flows
You tricks can't hide behind expensive cars and clothes
Old niggaz I expose like Luke does hoes in videos
With classic material, imperial and rugged like
Got mag, but my slugs a mic
You fake like a smile, like a hug I'm tight
Skip ladies, this is rip a muthafucka night
Oracle eros, niggaz don't even run for cover right
Downtown interracial lovers hold hands
I breathe heavy like an old man, with a cold can of Old Style
Hold a Stone Isle profile
Mix between Malcolm X and Sef when I go wild
Hold mics like a second nut until the second comin
Hummin comin towards you with power like forwards do
Hip hop, you my bitch and like a Ford, I'm explorin you
So, wack niggaz be cool, with them, I stay cordual
Flow at room temperature, cats is presumed miniature
Like golf, soft like Tiger Woods
At real nigga angles I've stood with ways that's geometric
Don't need to rob banks with dike broads to Set it
I levitate to the occasion, lounge like a lyricist
Rhyme wise, you a rest haven
You sat by the door spooked like I was Wes Craven
You need to do more deletin and less savin
A praise in hell, raisin heaven
As the bill on my pager leavens
What you should have known from day one
You will on day seven

"Hungry hip hop junkie in the city" (*scratched 3X*)

''I came in this rap life nude, now I'm fully clothed with flows''

Damn, when Common is at his best, few can rival him.

[tonyre123]

common had it but hes losing it. i cant stress this enough. dude has a song with the JONAS BROTHERS- yes the jonas brothers. men.

anyways 1 thing abt common, all his album have a different theme/message. hes not like other rappers that miss different styles in one album. check out resurrection, can i borrow a dollar, etc. i think with UMC, he was trying a different direction like he did on electric circus but this time it didnt work. UMC IS DISAPPOINTING .

hes still among 5 rappers

This is the Com that I miss...brova is straight SPITTIN!

[westside159]

Like a hug im tight

[westside159]

Rhyme wise you a rest haven , you sat by the door spooked like i was wes craven

[Ryandupas477]

I don't think Drake heard this song before he dissed Common

[nem700]

@Rmp0030

im saying, common aint what he used to be. but he did shatter drake into pieces, casually.

[TanjaTampax]

Obie you can get stomped by Moby!

[SeanLimpias1982]

This is how com should of made his entire demeanor for all of his albums.

[Rmp0030]

Compare this to shit tracks like 'celebrate' on his new album. No competition.
