Lyrics

Sweet

[Intro: Common]

Yeah

You know they be asking 'bout Common, where he at?

What that man doing now?

I'm doing what I do, hip-hop

That's what I do

Yeah

[Verse 1: Common]

How can I say this, fuck it, I'm the greatest

I am the A-list for all these great debaters

A lot of ya'll nah nah, forgot now who I am

The '87 nigga used to rah rah in the jam

Aw yeah, we put them things in the air

When I drop a single, it's really like a pair

Of Air Jordans, important to the culture

If you ain't true to it, cállate la boca

Get my drink on like a coaster

Post up on the wall that Mike used to live off

Hip-hop Master Cleansin', I'ma get my shit off

Rollin' in a Maserati Gran with the lid off

I bit all like a monster, live nigga this is my encore

Encore, encore, I rhyme for the commoners

My name synonymous with prominence

I'm to Hip-Hop what Obama is to politics

[Interlude: Common]

Yeah, man

Y'all niggas man, you soft muthafuckers

Yeah my man, muthafucker

Then come around my crib

You know where I'm from

Some ho ass niggas

Singing all around me man, la la la

You ain't muthafucking Frank Sinatra

Uh, lil' bitch

Yeah, this the raw right here

This the raw right here nigga

Sweet muthafucka

Sweet ass bitch muthafucka

[Verse 2: Common]

Wa da da da, wa dada dada dang

The C-O double-M O-N, I'm not playin'

Da da man at work, I make my own lane

I'm the franchise so I rock my own chain

No I said give 'em that 80's cocaine

Somethin' raw, something pure so I stayed in that vein

The hero that he know, that he cold

Like when it's below in the G.O., wipe ya feet off in the Regal

I'm king, observe the throne and the dream

I have it, supreme like mathematics

Yeah, a breath of fresh air for you asthmatic rap addicts

Pro black magic, this is semi-automatic

Rap, we won't jam in traffic

The game need direction, I'm here to map it

Uh, some people say that they be missing creativity

But when it come to hip-hop, it begins and ends with me

Sweet

[Outro: Common]

You know man, you should know where I come from

You should know who I am nigga

You should never wanna go against me

You know man, you too soft for that man

I be seeing you man, I see it in your eyes man

You ain't the type of nigga that could go against me

You get in my presence you gon' feel like a little ho

You ain't a man yet, you tryna be somebody else

Man, be yourself man, you come around my crib, you get your shit took

Huh! Wherever you go, you probably be overseas in Europe and get yo' shit took

You's a ho, you know you sweet

Ain't nothing you can do man, people see that man

Broads be seeing you sweet

Done wit' you muthafuckas, it's over for you

It's over for you

It's over, sweet muthafucka
