Common - Speak My Piece lyrics

rate me

(Hook x4)

I just, speak my piece, keep my peace

Cubans with the Jesus piece, with my peeps

Packing, my piece, Jesus

Packing, my piece, Jesus

(Verse: Common)

I'm iller than most, sick with it, feelin' the dose

In a butter soft leather but I'm still with the toast

Toast to brawls, you know, the millions is close

Feel the ghost of Notorious, tell me who the naughty is

She get live like an audience, I do what I do, no need to state the obvious

Poli' with girls with bodies like uh, poli' in hotel lobbies

Light a J, it's just me and Marley, look at the poster

Do what I supposed to for the culture

Early b-boy, down with d-boys, build to destroy

My pride 'n joy is my daughter named Omoye

Ye, that's my nigga from back in the day

All that whoop-de-wah-whop, man, fuck what they say!

Played the lotto for my gran' with a bottle in hand

Lay it down for the world, for Chicago I stand, and

(Hook x2)

I just, speak my piece, keep my peace

Cubans with the Jesus piece, with my peeps

Packing, my piece, Jesus

Packing, my piece, Jesus

(Verse: Common)

Yeah, yeah, they like that, I write raps from on top of the world

Popular girls always wanna pop in my world

I pop out in the boroughs

And go to L.A. to get hay

In the middle of the barn with a princess I lay

Yo, this time of shit happens every-hmm, once in a while

You know I won't front with the style

Bring life to the party like a woman and child

From the land of the humble and proud, summers is wild

Ah! Made the unmadeable! Ah! Go to parties I'm paid to go!

Me and Cuzzo talked the hustle

About doing good business like Rick and Russell

You I know I guzzle red wine till it's bed time

On my paper like headlines, she want the head shine

Er'time, my time, the streets is watchin' like a Rollie

Do it for the hometown and the homies, uh

(Hook x8)

I just, speak my piece, keep my peace

Cubans with the Jesus piece, with my peeps

Packing, my piece, Jesus

Packing, my piece, Jesus
