Common Sense | Nuthin' To Do (1994)

Support non commercialized rap. Keep it underground

Check it out
Yo this is a test to see if you know what time it is, what time it was and what time it's gon' be
It's Rakim Allah and Easy Mo Bee ya know what I'm sayin'
And this how we get down
Representin'
Check it out
It's gon get set like this

We're dealing with some devious days
But believe me it's ways
Of posing tact for those that act mischievous pays
Foes in town is bound to hold you down
Physically your baddest when you hold your ground
And let loose the hounds
And double barrel scatters the thunder
When I stand they want me to be under
See the government wanna remove the G and be over me
Make more men and still live life free
And leave me for sorrow
Not promised tomorrow
A job, a house, or a chance to show what I know
I'm out to crusade, all I got is the streets
Cuz I've been waitin' for opportunity to knock for weeks
If he come, tell him I went to organize
And enterprise unity in the community and rise
That means take it back
Whoever's against that, then we attack
With various shades of black

When we attack, with various shades of black

Lost in North America, stressed and led astray
In search of light so I could see a better day
Or maybe I could look from off the mountain top
A great king got dropped cuz he found the spot
He said umm "My eyes have seen the becoming"
And that's the very last speech that we heard from him
But I'ma remain on the scene and reign supreme
And go through many extremes, by any means
But I don't need a military, I'm ill already
I kill and bury with an aim still and steady
So bring me a bomb and ring the alarm
When I do harm I leave more dead than 'Nam
War casualties, more tragedies
On the mission to seize races, nationalities
And if it gotta be like that, then we attack
With various shades of black

It shouldnt have to be like that

We got to travel in harmony, in tune with the movement
Make moves in unison all crews represent
Come together for the common cause for mine and yours
Fix the broken laws and open doors
We want in, or let the revolution begin
We've been beat before but this time we'll win
It's gonna take bravery to stop slavery
And days'll be full of flave and carefree
It's differin' in , the predicament I'm in
Judge with a grudge just cause the color of my skin
Race brutality because of my nationality
And this is what they call reality
It's political, hypocritical, uncorrect
First I get lyrical then we come for wreck
Let's take control, they can't hold us back
And let's attack, with various shades of black


This part of the revolution is gon' be televised
Ya-know-what-I'm-sayin'
This is Rakim Allah
My man Easy Mo kept the flow
Ya know what I'm sayin'
The last platoon coming to through your neighborhood soon
Ain't nothin' change but the year
For '95 so c'mon

Yo, can I get a witness
Brothers don't want ta be on my hit-list
Time to kick positivity with the quickness
I'm breakin 'em somethin off slick
With soft hits
Now what is all this, am I Bo Vick?
I'm not havin it
It's time to chill, G
I know ya feel me
So bob ya heads back and forth wit the swiftness cause it's really
Bless the visitor so please stand
These men are Hieroglyphics
And yes that's the reason
That you're feeling like ya do don't attempt to simp
Be true to what ya know
Forget about pimps and limps
Close your eyes and think inspite of how we go right
Of wrong situations long, when you can't even think tight
And my view should be
A place just for the crews and g's
Face to face
It ain't no losing sleep, be
A million niggas havin good times
We pass to Del, makin mail
Kickin good rhymes
The doors are open, so you're welcome to do biz quick tricks
Risin, surprisin, and down 6-6-6
If ya need my help
Below lets takin a limb
Better than them, yes I am
First Sermon I'm the man

We havin church today
Ehmmm, we havin church today
Lift your hands, to the man, don't be shy
We're havin church today
Oh, Git out your seats, havin church today
Clap your hands we're havin church today
Lift your hands, to the man, don't be shy
We're havin church today

And ain't no such thing as a curfew
Cause when you're chillin on this vibe
Ain't nobody gonna hurt you
Relaxin, kickin and maxin
Strictly no packin, listenin to the sax, and
Takin time to the hole, is just another hobby troop
And plus I'm juiced, and Mike G is bringin barbecue
Sparin ribs
There it is, whoomp
Ain't no harm in movinU your arms
And feelin the groove
Bringin a ting-a-ling to your body. Move
And if ya can't
We're laying hands all over you
Close your eyes, and repeat after me
It ain't the power comin from pastor Snupe Lee
Phesto test
Your abilitys as you're an usher
Hush ya
Wit the silence of the spirits
Than rush ya
Wit your hand stand on the grand non-ficition
And hurry up so we can do the benediction

(Chorus)

Extra Prolific's havin church today
Souls of Mischief havin church today
Lift your hands, to the man, don't be shy
We're havin church today

Lift your hands, to the man, don't be shy

Lift your hands, to the man, don't be shy

Lift your hands, to the man, don't be shy
We're havin church today

Oh, it's going down...
