Common - State To State lyrics

Featuring Common Dug Infinite

"We skate on suckers who perpetrate

And lay down law from state to state" Run DMC

Check it out one time

"We skate on suckers who perpetrate"

State to state state to state

Now you got to tell me right
Now is you man or meese?

Is it man or beast cause I plan to release

The rent essentials what's my name
Confidential

Na nah don't tell a soul


But I sold my credentials

Skipper off my team, everybody Top Gun
Fortify the army
You can't beat us with a pop gun

I stop one allowed with one
Thought on my mind

Number ten is a hero take that
One and make him zero

That's law, word to Shapiro
Infinite's a colonel

Now put that in your journal
Better yet in your eternal

We heavy like a sledgehammer
With Know the Ledge grammar

A bad mamma jamma all the way to Alabama

Chi Town, where we don't fight over coasts

Cause the one that's in the middle is
The one that see the most

No time for that
(word) we burn cells, no time for fat

Let's say you like brain cells
We like state to state

"We skate on suckers who perpetrate

And lay down law from state
To state" - Run-DMC

I, gain ground

Through my, pain i came to bring it

I brought it, to the forefront
Work in the back

Beauty Shop with the storefront

Hyde Park beeper chicks with
The hardcore cunts

Didn't grow up ghetto where I'm tryin to
Get to is the same as you

I ain't a player
But I'm in the game with you

It's people in my city
That's just as lame as you

Laid the framework now at the
Door my name work

Free drinks attention paid
That's how the game work

My flow became land, with mathematics
I reign supreme like the Rainman

Piss in unknown spots
Givin dap with the same hand

Raps overlaps and fill gaps
In the rap industry

For those whose tired of the same similies

Hood stories
And songs to homies in penetentiaries

Chances I take over breaks
To make shit interesting

My city'll hold it down
Like bends in intersections

Wanted to say Fuck the Police
I ain't had no protection

Got the License to Ill
The real one got suspended in time

Brother you'll see it ain't
All about the promo

Source rating groupies and album photos

A stick man with a message and
A mag should be my logo

Think I'll start sportin that
Instead of Polo, uhh yo

"We skate on suckers who perpetrate

And lay down law from state to state"

I decipher data

Computer program the ill chatter

Brain stimulize sparks everytime I reply

My telescopic type topics smash your
Planet when I drop it

Eighty-eight popped it and locked it

Ninety-seven time to rock it
Grown man status

I'm pushin three-zero
I plan to be the baddest

Like hip-hop hero in the game MC

And makin sure that what you
Seein opens up your mind

When I kick the hard to find, strategic
Rhyme design

Supersede your average line
Intertwine when I combine

Elevatin mankind, attract a scholar

I convert poetry to dollars, a risk taker

Money maker got no collar
This one nigga asked me

Well who you be? I be a
Store ownin real-estate flippin MC

Just makin beats on the side

Another way to survive, I turn around artists

Portfolio diversified, it's obvious

I ain't your average hip-hopper

To get up on the microphone
And can't come proper

I be the MC to keep the clubs cold jumpin

I be the MC that's
Sayin somethin never nothin

" and lay down laws from state to state"

"We skate on suckers who perpetrate

And lay down law from state
To state" - Run-DMC
