Angel

[Intro]

Angel, angel

Angel, angel

[Verse 1: Common]

I spent my day so, first I pray, yo

Then I lay low, looking for the halo

Or more yayo, my little angel

Reminded me to stay playful

Faithful walks I take in the woods, thinking what's good

Things that I can change I should

Things I can't, need to be understood

Th-this is the bliss, I used to drift from the hood

For a second at least, I'm resurrecting the peace

Pipes that Indians used to light, we called it Chief, right?

Stepping on the leafs right to reach heights

Th-th-th-that I never seen, it's so so evergreen

Some use it for medicine, or to write better things

I was in Amsterdam man, bike pedalling

To the nature spot to taste the flavors they got

My eyes drop, I like it a lot

Yeah, my angel

[Chorus]

I wanna turn up the sound and spread my wings

Because I'm riding with my (Angel)

Going through the city of the Chi

Makes me feel like I'm in the city of (Angels)

Ohh, I wanna fly, fly away with my (Angel)

She takes me high, she will always be my (Angel)

[Verse 2: The Game]

Th-th-the way that I rhyme blow nigga's mind

Like the first time you heard Mary J. and you were standing in line

To purchase tickets to see her blow like Chicago wind

And I'm ridin' with Common looking for Chicago Zen

And like Chicago winds, I was once a Street Disciple

Rockin' every Jordan shoe, Nike put out by Michael

That made me feel like I could fly, sometimes I wanted to die

Prolly 'cause the angel dust was fuckin with my third eye

So I started hip-hop and I understand why Common used to love her

She got me open so I even had to fuck her

But I used the rubber, 'cause she was married to Rakim

So I bought me a gold chain, pretendin' that I was him

So I can get close to the girl I loved the most

But she left Cali and went on tour with Ne-Yo and Ghost

Big gave her one more chance and she took Big down

I should've knew when Shock G and Pac told me she get around

An angel

[Chorus]

I wanna turn up the sound and spread my wings

Because I'm riding with my (Angel)

Going through the city of the Chi

Makes me feel like I'm in the city of (Angels)

Ohh, I wanna fly, fly away with my (Angel)

She takes me high, she will always be my (Angel)

[Verse 3: The Game]

Fly away, fly away

My love for her is not about jewelry and cars

I love her 'cause she love me, just for who I are

Who I is, who I am, resembles the rims on the Lam'

I shine like Shyne when Barrington Levy was sayin'

"Didilly whoooa!", I got love for the streets

Peace to New York and every hood in the East

Before I was duckin' cops, gunshots

I used to be an L.A. Dodger, now I'm a (Angel)

From the city of lost souls, Impalas and polished gold

Between the car and the rims, we got a lot of chrome

Your hood not alone, they knockin', we not at home

And when they bust in, we not Caesar, but gotta roam

'Cause they try to wire phones, I'm talking Verizon phones

The ones they put wires on, they got us on tap

But I put wires on, my Bentley in fact

I spit it through the wires on a Kanye track

[Chorus]

I wanna turn up the sound and spread my wings

Because I'm riding with my (Angel)

Going through the city of the Chi

Makes me feel like I'm in the city of (Angels)

Ohh, I wanna fly, fly away with my (Angel)

She takes me high, she will always be my (Angel)

[Outro: Common]

Yeah, it's The Game and Common

Spread your wings, follow your dreams

Things will be so serene

L.A. and the Chi is a team

Yeah, angel supreme, yeah, keep on

Yeah, it's for the world boy

We do it forever, yeah
