Common - No Fear lyrics

rate me

Sitting on stairs, in street affairs

Jordan Airs, he got at least seven pairs

His voice rare, talk with a mumble

Chicago Bear hat, quarterback the huddle

Call an audible of trouble came

His name Chris, black as his hustle name

Reaction to his chains, it's like a basketball game

Watch him winning, hope your team do the same

A menace, he O-Dog, Caine

He wish a nigga would go against his grain

Used to staying but moved up in the game

Take a nigga spot, take a nigga’s fame

The fortune of a caine, long live his reign

He do it for a son, he do it with a gun

Whatever he do, yo, he do it till it's done

A team full of hitters, so they hit and run

The priest don't even want none

Walk with the G's cause the G's never run

Something to be from the slum and be the one

This is where he at, this is where he from

Where I'm from

Living life with no fear

Putting that truth in my baby girl's ear

Told her that dudes gonna want some ass

And whatever you do, do it with class

She wanna E, but to me, you gotta earn it

You can't circumvent life, you gotta earn it

It's the circle of life, that's why we're turning

Yo, I hit a choir and a sermon, our messiah is returning

With a tile around my neck, a style around respect

Know the smell of good pussy and the sound of a tec

They fire, drill, stop dropping roll

I popped out the cold hip-hop, that was gold

The way of the road is our ode to the legacy

C'mon dog, you know my pedigree

Finding Forever, Be, the sun never set on me

Many reign, but the game never weather me

If I'm in the building that mean I got equity

Where articles are black like Ebony

Since I was a shorty I was thinking longevity

No fear, I say that with levity

Where I'm from
