Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She knew me from the city, she knew I was witty
She knew I had power and maybe some cents like 50
She had a couple cats, I was trying to get the kitty
And if I touch down, I just might do the gritty
This just in
I've been on my Jefferson's bussin' raps
Rappers she said she didn't trust 'em
And really didn't trust men, I guess we on the cusp then
Go get your Moscow and we don't have to rush in
Ukraine's in the sky, disdain in the eye
That came from another guy, I ain't the other guy
I wanna love you, the way I love the Chi
She showed me her ex, I ain't have to wonder why
I ain't gon' down no other ****, yo, that's goof troop shit
Let's sample the day and we can loop it
Filter the worst, and save the best parts
There's power in the now, just like Eckhart
And life can take a toll on you
If we fall in love, I'll be holding you up
Watch this rap **** get all up in your mind
You like ice cream, I like wine
We both refined, forget the red carpet
Our stars align, forever is where we are in time
This ain't foreplay, I see you on your grind
You mean the world to me, of course the world is mine
[Verse 2]
I'm from Chicago
Come and talk to me, you got me feenin'
I want the average Joe to see
You my lady, forever, or maybe just the night
We could be crazy in love 'cause shit is crazy in life
It's crazy when I met you, I knew that I would get you
I said, "Yo, I'm Common, and you are extra special
I can hold you down and never will I let you
If we play our cards right, we'll be alright, I'll bet you"
[Verse 3]
Wait a minute, I stayed on Bennett, and I been it
As the tables turn, no matter how you spin it
At the top of my game, a gladiator
I'm glad I ate her
Are you not entertained?
I ain't a lock and chain type of **** that'll cuff you
I'ma keep it funky, that's something I must do
And lust you, and trust you, and touch you, and clutch you
The bullshit is cake, and that's what we gon' cut through
Summon the queen, you dope and I'm becoming a fiend
You got me trippin' like a summer routine
All in your grill, we meet and unthawing it still
Making love is like music, it's all in the feel
Fly girl
I want you under my wings
Champion lover that could come with a ring
That got a ring to it, you and I theme to it
Don't be Chi
I'm from it, and you know how we do it
