Song by Common f/ Jill Scott<br /><br>

Yo, a touch of jazz y'all, yeah, yeah<br>

<br>

[Jill Scott]<br>

8 minutes to sunrise<br>

Oh baby now, what are we gonna do? (I don't know..)<br>

Pressure is mountin<br>

Oh baby now, how we gonna get through? (I, don't, know)<br>

Can't go left (uh-uh) can't go right (uh-uh)<br>

Don't know, how we made it through the night (c'mon c'mon c'mon)<br>

7 minutes to sunrise<br>

Oh baby now, what are we gonna do? (Do it, do it..)<br>

<br>

[Common]<br>

It was once said by Black Thought that +Things Fall Apart+<br>

Knew I shouldn't have been messin with dude's girl from start<br>

But I pimp from the heart, the art of it made it interestin<br>

Plus me and sister blend before we got intimate<br>

Friend or no friend, my man caught wind<br>

This chick is payin me, it'll either cost me or cost him<br>

Told her she shoulda lost him (when?) a while ago<br>

Cause dude'll drink a pile of Mo' and defile her yo<br>

I ain't here to start on this (nigga) for me to wreck his broad<br>

you could tell what I thought of this (nigga)<br>

Nickname was Smoke, don't know if that was cause of cigarettes<br>

(or what?) or guns he tote, he called shots on the deck<br>

so I wasn't tryin to call his bluff, by his persona<br>

you could see, he think he tough!<br>

If that wasn't enough, old girl had his son<br>

This is Wild like the West I'm like Jesse on the run, uhh<br>

<br>

[Jill Scott]<br>

6 minutes to sunrise<br>

Oh baby now, what are we gonna do? (I don't know..)<br>

Pressure is mountin<br>

Oh baby now, how we gon' get through? (I, don't, know)<br>

Can't go left and (uh-uh) can't go right and (uh-uh)<br>

Don't know, how we made it through the night (yo, we got..)<br>

5 minutes to sunrise<br>

Oh baby now, what are we gonna do? (Do it, do it..)<br>

<br>

[Common]<br>

I understand that time is runnin out, I'm thinkin of town-skippin<br>

Got a Chevy but the alternator be trippin<br>

I'm hittin rum straight, thinkin of a route to truncate<br>

The streets is watchin, out is one way I put myself in his Nike's<br>

His position is, "Aight man, somebody bonin my lady"<br>

Probably snap like Rod-man<br>

My plan was to meet at this bar called the Tiki (when?)<br>

'round four, when she was comin she would beep me<br>

I sat deep in the corner, drinkin zombies, becomin one by now<br>

Wonderin if my style would support her and her child<br>

Out the corner of my eye saw this stud I recognized (who?)<br>

One of Smoke's guys, to stay out of sight I tried<br>

Told Jill Scott to meet we coulda picked a better spot<br>

On some "Nobody's Supposed to Be Here" (shit) like Deborah Cox<br>

Looked at my watch, (shit) I don't even got a watch<br>

Felt for my glock, damnit I don't even got a glock, yo<br>

<br>

[Jill Scott]<br>

4 minutes to sunrise<br>

Oh baby now, what are we gonna do? (I don't know..)<br>

Pressure is mountin<br>

Oh baby now, how we gon' get through? (I, don't, know)<br>

Can't go left and (uh-uh) can't go right and (uh-uh)<br>

Don't know, how we made it through the night (c'mon c'mon)<br>

3 minutes to sunrise<br>

Oh baby now, what are we gonna do? (Do it, do it..)<br>

<br>

[Common]<br>

Pressure puh-pressure what? The pressure's cookin<br>

It ain't good lookin, like a black promoter I'm talkin bookin<br>

Not that I'm spooked of dude, I could whup him<br>

But he was on the horn informin the rest of them hoodlums (aight)<br>

Usually I wouldn't fight over a woman, old girl had a sun-shine<br>

was messed up, on Smoke's payroll was one-time<br>

My pager went off, it read one line: "Come get me<br>

from Halsted," I'm thinkin this is monkey bar [shit]<br>

Went to the phone quick, called her (what happened?) Her line was busy<br>

Situation number nine, got my mind dizzy<br>

Wondered if this plan was designed to get me<br>

I've been drinkin too strong to be thinkin too long<br>

Like 40 goin North I'm doin 50, headed for the spot<br>

Askin God to be with me, and lately<br>

she has been actin shifty -- (but what?)<br>

But then it hit me (hit me) it hit me (hit me)<br>

It hit me (hit me) it hit me<br>

<br>

2 minutes to sunrise<br>

Oh baby now, what are we gonna do? (I don't know..)<br>

Pressure is mountin<br>

Oh baby now, how we gonna get through? (Yo -- I said I, don't, know)<br>

Can't go left and (uh-uh) can't go right and (nope)<br>

Don't know, how we made it through the night (yo, we got)<br>

1 minute to sunrise<br>

Oh baby now, what are we gonna do? (one-one, one.. ha?)<br>
