Common - Enough Beef lyrics

[Intro] Yeah Sway and Tech n***a My name is 5'9 Yeah I been in the game for a minute Shout out to Gang Starr What up Prim' (back to basics) [Hook] A lot of sh** has happened, since I started rappin A lot of sh** has happened, since I started rappin A lot of sh** has happened, since I started rappin There's been enough beef, and enough gat clappin [Royce da 5'9] Yeah I done became a target From the bottom became the hardest artist in the game The first time they started to market my name I started to change Smart but hardly could think logically The insane part of me layin aside of me says pardon Me so I part with the same side of me I hang out with the same guys Either they not noticing the game changin me or they ain't watchin' me b**hes sayin, "hi" to me n***as who ain't hot as me Picturin me slain n***as gettin plain tired o' me Lookin down at himm when he got the same drive as me We the same n***as aim just as high as me Everything is the same with us but the thing is that I Came in here with a different anxiety Hopefully the day I retire is approachin me lookin Back like those were the days I was fly (But y'all gon' learn) from the mistakes to wait and To be patient wrong turns did take up a lot of time But I finally found my way around now I'm wiser I thank God that I made it out alive [Hook] [Common] One man rises another falls To discover all is one and one is all I come to call like Jericho with the trumpets Wild in the 100's, gramps and the choir hummin The Lord soon cometh From blow some grow Many stay stunted songs with the shorties knowin I learn from it, keep the dumb sh** from my circumference I run with n***as that wanted and done it the hunted and blunted L said it gotta come from the stomach To me the stomach is the voice of the Lord The revolutionary people's choice the award Seein souls move forward Ghosts move toward new homes and new floors for us to rise to In the attic tapin up my Bible thinkin how can I apply to survival The un-American Idol seein by the size of those times I put it in my rhymes A lot of sh** has happened [Hook] [Chino XL] Yo, welcome lambs to the slaughter It's the most important moment in my life since the birth of my daughters Regardless, all is well in the universe premier track And Chino who cannot spit a whack verse My first CDs basically made me Marky Mark with the Whole planet of the apes chasin me Here to save you all now rap ain't worth savin' but I Can't get the pavement with gay sh** like Craig David Vocal arrangements even basic I'm still the hottest n***a to spit inside of my cousin Tigga basement I've no replacement for what's seeming like ages I ain't no hypochondriac complainin I stay sick Standin ovations for acapella's sh**iations I get better with age in everybody's observation Starvation to brawl the last samurai Take an eye for an eye till the world goes blind I'm bovine Raging bull words are my weapons Hulking out over ya head like Kangols in '87 I move from Jers' to Cali' fillin the love Move moms to Miami promised I would Beef 'n drama I've been you wouldn't last through What's funny motherf**er I wanna laugh too But now I'm ready to get rich old dog new tricks So ill, could dig to China with chopsticks When I switch to the big leagues this year with no fear Cuz who'd even believe that I'd be here [Hook]
