Common - Next Time (Just Right version) lyrics

[Chorus] I'm gonna blow your mind, hold you close Squeeze you tight, the next time that I see you I'm gonna tell you I love you, cross my heart And I hope I die The next time that I see you [Verse 1] A cloudy day in the Chi I was downtown getting my license Money ain't a thang but hey, fame is priceless Waiting in line, yeah that's one of my vices This lady recognized me and moved me through the line quick To number one, said sign this for her son I drew my name with a Bible and a gun One of her coworkers had a cousin in rap Can't knock his hustle, but I be doing him like (?) In the back, they was playin' light jazz Spotted this woman with light plus she had a bright a** I was checking her out trying to act like I ain't checking her out She could see that I was checking her out On some Roy Ayers, we was vibing a bit Told her my next album gonna be live with the hits She did a skit on how she don't be dating rappers Said I got my SAG card baby I'm an actor And after the laughter I said, "naw for real" She said, "naw for real, forreal?" [Chorus] [Verse 2] Some days it's the sun, some days it's the rain Some chicks you forget, some stay in your brain Somehow in my mind this broad still remain Three days later, I'm about to get on the plane In the security lane, the thing kept beeping It's probably these hard raps that I be keeping Speaking of the goddess, I picked up my metal objects You know how you can bring to life what's in your conscience Slim with the pompous attitude from the DMV Happened to have a beautiful a** in front of me Yup, I'm looking and she sort of took it in That awkward moment of "damn, damn, that's him again" I start telling her how beautiful her thoughts are A man walked up, she said "this is Walter" I looked at a little Walter as he stuck out his hand Said since Borrow a Dollar, he been a fan Said he met me at a show about four years ago I'm thinking Goof Troop, I don't remember that sh** I told him that I didn't so I ended that quick On the Ice Cube tip, like stay off my dick And tell your chick to come here Yeah, I gotta word I want to give to her ear And it goes like [Chorus] [Verse 3] I can't be lusting another man's woman too long I picked up my pride to the gate, I moved on With the nike airs on, stepping into first cla** Wondering why these flight attendants don't be having no a** One asked if I wanted a drink I laid back and just said naw I wanted to think About how and why old girl was affecting me Opened my eyes her and dude was right next to me Was this destiny like the Jackson Five? I was shocked inside, but I reacted live Told her every time I think of her she actualize I said fate baby ain't something to rationalize Seen pa**ion in her eyes as my words hit her She said Walter wasn't her n***a, he just work with her We dipped to the bathroom so she could try my love Now she's a member of the mile high club [Chorus]
