Common - Gladiator |
| [00:04.00] |
|
| [00:07.00] |
|
| [03:44.36][02:33.58][01:22.74][00:11.56] |
They say he's a radical, he don't fit the game |
| [03:47.32][02:36.56][01:25.79][00:15.08] |
A heart full of glory and a fist of pain |
| [03:50.01][02:39.04][01:28.38][00:17.60] |
A couple of battle scars but shit's the same |
| [03:52.53][02:41.65][01:30.95][00:20.20] |
Are you not entertained |
| [03:55.08][02:44.29][01:33.61][00:22.85] |
So all the onlookers and the bystanders |
| [03:57.46][02:46.66][01:36.00][00:25.23] |
Wait til intermission, run buy your camera |
| [03:59.94][02:49.16][01:38.46][00:27.68] |
Record the moment, cause it'll be platinum |
| [04:02.48][02:51.79][01:41.06][00:30.35] |
And you could say you seen Common rock the stadium |
| [00:33.08] |
I was told by a wise old to come from the heart |
| [00:35.52] |
Though I might've did The Light, I don't run from the dark |
| [00:37.93] |
The dark knight to spark mics, and start fights |
| [00:40.45] |
The warrior archetype like Kimbo Slice |
| [00:42.93] |
It's strength in the beard, am I loved or feared |
| [00:45.45] |
A beast amongst boys like Paul I'm revered |
| [00:47.83] |
Vroof, vroof vroof vroof vroof Vroof vroof well |
| [00:50.71] |
Like Jacob Jewel, I keep clientele |
| [00:53.02] |
You frail on the mic like you might break a nail |
| [00:55.52] |
I might smoke a joint but I won't take the L |
| [00:58.10] |
I knew a fat girl who broke the scale |
| [01:00.53] |
Still touched down cause I was off Artell |
| [01:03.13] |
Had dreams of breaking Mike Vick out of jail |
| [01:05.59] |
Took the underground rail to the end that failed |
| [01:08.33] |
I rebel, NYSL |
| [01:10.81] |
Here to leave a trail like Nelson Mandela |
| [03:42.39][03:39.80][03:37.34][03:35.37][02:31.62][02:28.92][02:26.56][02:24.11][01:20.79][01:18.29][01:15.81][01:13.38] |
nothing you could do |
| [01:43.83] |
My words is the sword, my skill is the shield |
| [01:46.12] |
My life is the style I stay dressed to kill |
| [01:48.62] |
A legend like Will Smith with the steel |
| [01:51.09] |
I could save the world when shit get for real |
| [01:53.50] |
Skinny George Foreman, all in your grill |
| [01:56.17] |
My rhyme style is blind, it's all in the feel |
| [01:58.64] |
Touch it and watch the blood fall with the steel |
| [02:01.29] |
The weak raps you wrote you could call that your will |
| [02:03.72] |
My drive VROOM is how I stay the livest |
| [02:06.37] |
Your guys got you gassed, my flow is a hybrid |
| [02:08.75] |
Crashed I survived it, gashes over eyelids |
| [02:11.31] |
You easy to take out cause you hot garbage |
| [02:13.84] |
I'm amped like wattage, the truth nigga honest |
| [02:16.40] |
Any moment opponents drop out like college |
| [02:18.86] |
Kneel and pay homage to the rap Ziggy Stardust |
| [02:21.52] |
Stadium hands in the air fists balled up |
| [02:54.48] |
Feet in the dirt, blood on the shirt |
| [02:56.91] |
Scars over bars, symbols of the work |
| [02:59.45] |
Tight clothes the armor, center of the drama |
| [03:02.00] |
Defeat your whole army like this is Sparta |
| [03:04.55] |
So don't violate or you'll get violated |
| [03:06.97] |
Some of you model bitches is so overrated |
| [03:09.45] |
Don't mean to underrate it but damn it I made it |
| [03:12.02] |
In the water I waded on the corner I painted |
| [03:14.59] |
Draw blood like we related |
| [03:16.31] |
MCs get de-decapitated |
| [03:18.46] |
Syncopated is the style that I fight with, write with |
| [03:22.15] |
Mr. Excitement, change your face up like a white chick |
| [03:24.63] |
Then light shit up like a dread with the herbs |
| [03:27.22] |
Get sex in the city and head in the burbs |
| [03:29.76] |
These are the words of a radical |
| [03:32.16] |
The crowd applaud, I'm bowed, I'm proud |
| [03:34.16] |
To be the gladiator |
| [00:00.009] |
|
| [99:00.000] |
