Common - While I'm Dancing lyrics

[Scratch Hook] "It's real hip hop" "From the soul y'all" "That's why" This is how my life is "Now don't forget that" "Because" "I lost love once in my lifetime" "Now I'm realizing that I love her" "Hip hop" This is how my life is "Now I'm realizing that I love her" "Common Sense" Back to Resurrection [Common] Night breathes We hustle to fulfill life's needs Travel at light speed, the appetite for bright weed Got, seeds to feed in-between greed and need Deep in the struggle and a n***a need to breathe So I drift back to where I used to sip 'gnac and kick back Behind schools remembering I'm king, I don't forget that There are rules to the game that gave, I've got to give back I drop j**els, knowing what I speak, I've got to live that Solace sings a song that's in tune with my dreams I sing a song like Bob Marley to redeem Itching for some scratch like a fiend I wait/weight like that dope that you put up on the beam Though paper won't make my whole world serene It will help a n***a do his thing Through every rhyme scheme I move closer to the supreme For those in prisons over rhythms I interpret dreams Tell cats with the block [?] we on the same team Revolutionary, underground against the mainstream Tell cats with the bling we on the same team The world is yours for you to claim king C'mon We keep it going c'mon we get it going y'all We keep it going c'mon we get it going now This is what life is, we keep it going now This is what life is, we keep it going y'all This is what my life is, I got a wife/kid And another one, I'm the brother son and the mother son That's the connection My brother Ah said take it back to Resurrection
