So Far to Go

[Part I: So Far to Go]

[Intro: D'Angelo]

Oh-oh

I wanna get closer to you, baby

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

[Chorus: D'Angelo]

You have come so far

You've got so far to go

You have come so far

You've got so far to go

[Verse 1: Common]

Sweetheart, you know that you most

Important, at least on the West Coast, huh

I'm just trippin', it's somethin' about your throat

You think different and understand how I float

Got cribs on both Coasts

But I'm a Chicago-getter

You get down, but you ain't a golddigger

You got the soul with the figure to match

Your girlfriend said, "Yo, that dude is a catch"

Creative with the gifts, plus he hit it from the back, ugh

And places we ain't supposed to

We make the music—baby, you on the vocals

International lover, I never stay local

Go to places that you never been

Beautiful outside, even better when it's in

You have arrived, girl—you can come again, c'mon

[Chorus: D'Angelo]

You have come so far

You've got so far to go

(Say it again!)

You have come so far

You've got so far to go

(Oh-oh, yeah-yeah)

(Oh-oh)

[Verse 2: Common]

You sexy, I know brothers try to spit to you

But I'm the only one that can get to you

Lifting you, my drive is shifting you

I opened you free, it's like a gift to you

I truly am thickly and thankful

And as long I'm in your town, I'ma stay faithful

Hah, you know I can't escape you

No matter how far, you're still my star

You was there when the marks tried to steal my car

Snappin' with me, that's just how real you are

Sophisticated woman, you understand a man

You don't call all the time just to see where I am

Put a "G" in your hand, make sure you're livin' alright

Makin' love is me and I'ma give it all night

Turn over in the morning, make it warmer and better

Long as we can be, we can come together, c'mon

[Chorus: D'Angelo]

You have come so far

You've got so far to go

(I don't believe you heard me, baby)

You have come so far

You've got so far to go

[Bridge: D'Angelo]

Go on

Go on then

Go on

Go on, girl

Go on, go on

Go on, baby, go on, baby

Go on, baby, go on, baby

Go on, ah

[Chorus: D'Angelo]

You have come so far

You've got so far to go

(You know what I mean, baby)

You have come so far

You've got so far to go

You have come so far

You've got so far to go

(Yeah, yeah)

You have come so far

You've got so far to go
