Tekzilla

On the streets, on the side

I look a man in his face eye to eye

And wonder why

I don't wanna die

I hope you don't wanna die

So why bring it my way?

(Common Sense in a ghetto in Chicago)

Yo, Tekzilla

You know I ain't the type to play killer

But this day still arrives in my mind like a flight on down

Thursday night had plans to be out

Till the night served daylight, but it ain't happin'

Rappin' to myself 'cause there were no one to rap to

This feeling came to me like somebody lookin' at you

There was these cats who me and my crew boxed against

Got a spot and a Glock, now the ****'s got some confidence

'Cause I'm Common Sense and I rap consciousness

He was prop to dis mad 'cause my guy used to knock his bitch

I could sense he was tryin' to bring it

But I wasn't ready to receive it, in fact I made him leave it

Before he could achieve it

As we rolled through the streets of Cottage Grove

And reach the stoplight

Behind me, he flashed lights bright, sorta cop-like

I'm thinkin' 2Pac-like 'cause he got out the car

I was taught only to fight in defense or in the will of Allah

And ain't no talking when it's time to spar

So before he popped some shit I did, I, my shit is solo

Back, his lady trying to hold him like big pun

I stowed 'em and told 'em, "I ain't a shooter I just punch a lot"

Between blows this **** tried to up his Glock

His brother watched spooked like a daddy on teenage love

He got 'buked 'til my tape, I see a **** dove

Got his dome into her

My fist brought back the one hand

Tried to pop it musta been a Nas cause the gun jammed

Unplanned, I disarm this trick, ****

Pistol-whipped his ass, his lady's I was palmin' it

Hollered 87 reign dominant

Needed a fight that night, me and my woman had a argument

(I guess I should tell you a little something about myself)

(I bang with the big boys, those who own game)

(I bang with the big boys, those who own game)

Why you gotta hold yo' thang?

(I bang, bang)

Scared to shoot, scared to shoot

Shoot for the rap, yo

Peace y'all, Common Sense and Hi Tek

(I bang with the big boys, those who own game)

Traveling the world it's just a day in the life

Of real ****
