Common - The Next Chapter (Still Love H.E.R.) lyrics

rate me

(feat. J. Period)

Com' sense

J. Period

I met this girl when I was ten years old

I met this girl when I was ten years old

I had a dream

..since I was a kid

I'm moving guess I'm moving on the motor turning over

I met her when I was ten as I began to grow older

exposed to the culture, culture that would change me

with the mic check I paint a picture like banksy

concrete rose growin' through homes and floors

on a paper chase, I found out I was chose

a fetish for clothes, success and blessin' the hood

the struggles of an emcee progressin' through the good

music for the 90s, 2000s and beyond

it started with me wantin' niggas to say "he can rhyme"

if now is my time then now is forever

change-the-world raps and the style is gettin' better

revolutionizing, rising above the game again

my career is fading in, like a DJ on a blimp

women love the voice, brothers dig the lyrics

this is hip-hop, y'’all - we drivin' for the spirit

No ID is in the house

twilight tone, he’s in the house yeah

J. Period is in the house, yeah

Kanye, he’s in the house, yeah

g.o.o.d. music, we in the house, yeah

J. Dilla, he’s in the house, and

yo, the roots, they in the house, and

Kristin Kills is in the house, yeah

com sense

J. Period

I had a dream

dreamed since I was a kid

I represent the real hip-hop

they said hip-hop is dead, I'm here to resurrect thee

I met this girl when I was ten years old

and what I loved most, she had so much soul
