Common - Invocation lyrics

Common: Envisioning the hereafter, listenin to steve wonder On a quest for love like the proceed drummer I strike like lightning and don't need thunder Inhale imagination and breathe wonder That's your lady, i used to run up in her and g weed from her It's a cold world and n***az need summer At times my going forward seems like retreat As i be writin rhyme after rhyme and throw away beats Growing into my britches, outgrowing the streets There's a thin line between war and peace, who*es and jeeps Ignore mcs like beeps, scribblin freedom on pages My third eye is like pink eye, seemin contagious Redeemin the ancients with ace this rhyme jargon I feel mexican, hip hop is my garden Don't give a f** where you chartin, certain sh** i can't honor It ain't that you sellin, it's your karma Rappers i monitor like a chaperone, you large and haven't grown Poetically perform fly-bys, another rapper gone The stage becomes a catacomb, i rap like a mummy Not for the money, i could have sampled diana ross a long time ago My mind of flow is like motor key 20 Youngblood said he had dimes, i prayed that he see twenty Hollerin at the brothers, either you gon be a thug or a man Flip d** and get land, i can see my man rashad As he described how the bucks hit him And said slugs was still stuck in him, when it rained, it f**ed wit Him This bucket interrupt wisdom and asked when my album was comin I said it's here It's here(echoed)
