Common - Congratulations lyrics

rate me

(feat. James Fauntleroy)

Flowers bloomed, the early part of JUne

knewn as the time staying tune, there's a lot going through my mind

Got up this morning smelling like vumes of wine,

My man had his bachelor in exclusive time,

We're getting ready now, he bout to walk the owe

A pimp's funeral, but we're going walk in style

I'm feeling proud, yeah I'm feeling funny

And it ain't 'cause it's nigga still owe me money

'Cause this my buddy here, we been through lots of years

Lots of beers, lots of fights, lots of nights,

dreams about our career, now we're here in this..

I remember back when we was hustlers,

move work, doing dirt, girl say we hold around,

still doing it huh, reach us older now,

fixing his boat I ..color I fold it down

I'm the best man, I'm supposed to hold it down

We're sober now, but I'ma be lit tonight

One of these rise I might have to hit tonight

He said the light is this fist song I'm honored,

It's already been drama, she don't like his mama,

maybe that's coma, huh, he's a good cat,

a good cat ain't supposed to be with her, a hood rat,

I knew about back back when we went to ..on you

And like a black college a lot of niggas ran through scandalous

it's like you can't trust, whatever you get is jsut never enough

Plus about her, it's too much stuff of being straight bogus

She is on the casp, I'm a hush, 'cause today is this big day

this colors we went they ain't big game,

but anyway I told her when he first started

Now we must search for the sincerely departed,

Am I being jealous hearted, I'm debating,

maybe 'cause my gaz in love I'm just hating

We're waiting on revel .. and for heart to get ready

The church bells is ringing and then the ring is real heavy

Heavy heavy heavy heavy heavy heavy heavy

Now you remember that man? Remember that y'all

I ain't ..I keep making this step, but it's good, yeah

I got to remain ..gotta do, it's a good thing for you man

Yeah we do, it's gonna be rock.

It's a black wedding, you know it's started late,

family members are get.., who gonna get a plate?

this relatives saying they just can't relate to her being this misses

it's a big mistake, I feel the same way, I'm trying to be supportive

it's hard when I think a ball player, she didn't caught it

But I ain't gonna agitate, I'm gonna congratulate

It's like the weave have this real, have this fake

They knew the cater us so they gotta have the rate,

How father mister cook, looking like he have bake

pimped out the red velvet, it took masticate,

looking at his watch damn, I must G pass his..

But wait, oh shit, that goes his ex girl shine on

Man I hope it don't be no drama

That lady in the big hat, that his grand mama

for him taking the step I at least got an honor

'cause maybe things change and I'm just tripping

we walking down the awl this CD is skipping

I read between the lies, see us asign

Kind of mixed about it, will be my time,

to settle down a niche ..going petals down,

Looking at marriage, narrow is the ow,

as they was saying their vows a ghetto falling off

with the song all loud, wipping my brown 'cause now I'm nervous

she looking beautiful in her dress,

I'm looking at the cruves it's natural to look

I try to look on, he says ..hold your piece, I gave a goos cuff

I used mysterious, the ..smelling filty,

but on the real, I'm the one feeling guilty

'cause if this course, then I had to tell the truth

I should have told my man before he said I do

I gotta tell you what's good, think it's all bad

I congratulate you like it's all that

Got my dress I stand up for your celebration

even though it's love imitation, imitation,

Imitation yeah, imitation

Congratulations my man

For real good love with that, hey

You can't appreciate the sunshine

If you never in.

And it's gonna rain.
