Common - Cloth lyrics

We were from different cities
On the same block
Grew up in different circles in the same spot
Like raindrops we fall in love giving our all
Showing her ring off like a
Player at the ball
I recall the walls that I had up
Attracted to women for things
That didn't matter
Ka-clow boom pop! Sound of my
Heart when it drop
The night that I met her, it might be forever
I hear people saying that
They like us together
I ain't afraid to gamble when
Life is getting better
With you, I admit I had issues
Like ebony, your essence, your pedigree
Your presence
It's more than clothes can say for you
When I shop I gotta spend more
Than a day for you i pray for you and us
That we imbue through lust
And accrue the trust
Let's shake off the dust from the cloth

Oh you're worried about when
People stop and stare
That's just a tear on those
Beautiful clothes you wear
Cut from the same
Cloth you just want to wear
But that's just a tear because girl
I can get you fresh la la la la, la la la la

This is tailor made love, fit like a snug
Anything we can bear so let's have some cubs
You were there when my cuz passed away
Not only does love, but life hatches day
I appreciate the hugs and the
Days I breed with you
Strong seeds I can see with you
The good word I read with you
Looking at things that we've been through
Things that seem simple
I know when to go hard and when to be gentle
Sentimental laughs and expressions
Let's stay in the present
No time for second guessing
You said it's this cloth that
Makes you feel naked
The truth we address it
That's so unexpected
Yeah that's the thread that
Helps us move ahead
Your hunger for affection will always be fed
Thank God we never sped and
Let love take it's course
Cause what's inside of us
No need to outsource the cloth

Hey lover we can cover each other
Through the coldest nights
Tight never smother
It's two things that seems
To hold us together
God is our tailor and forever
It's two things that seems
To hold us together
God is our tailor and forever
It's two things that seems
To hold us together
God is our tailor and forever
It's the cloth
