[The Game, Common - Angel lyrics]
I spent my day so, first I pray yo
Then I lay low, looking for the halo
Or more yayo, my little angel
Reminded me to stay playful
Faithful walks I take in the woods
Thinking whats good
Things that I can't change I should
Things I can't, need to be understood
Th-this is the bliss
I used to drift from the hood
For a second at least
I'm resurrecting the peace
Pipes that Indians used to like
We called it Chief
Right?
Stepping on the leafs right, to reach heights
Th-th-th-that I never seen
It's so so evergreen
Some use it for medicine
Or to write better things
I was in Amsterdam, man, bike pedaling
To the nature spot
To taste the flavors they got
My eyes drop, I like it a lot
Yeah, an angel
I wanna turn up the sound and spread
My wings because I'm riding with my
(Angel)
Going through the city of the Chi make me
Feel like I'm in the city of
(Angels)
Oooh I wanna fly, fly away with my (Angel)
She takes me high, she will always be my
(Angel)
Th-th-the way that I rhyme
Blow nigga's mind
Like the first time you heard Mary J
And you were standing in line
To purchase tickets to see her
Blow like Chicago wind
And I'm ridin with Common
Looking for Chicago Zen
And like Chicago winds
I was once a Street Disciple
Rockin every Jordan shoe
Nike put out by Michael
That made me feel like I could fly
Sometimes I wanted to die
Prolly cause the angel dust was
Fuckin with my third eye
So I start hip-hop and I understand
Why Common used to love her
She got me open so I even had to fuck her
But I used the rubber
Cause she was married to Rakim
So I bought me a gold chain
Pretendin' that I was him
So I can get close to the
Girl I loved the most
But she left Cali and went on
Tour with Ne-Yo and Ghost
Big gave her one more chance
And she took Big down
I should've knew it, Shock G and
Pac told me "She get around"
An angel
I wanna turn up the sound and spread
My wings because I'm riding with my
(Angel)
Going through the city of the Chi make me
Feel like I'm in the city of
(Angels)
Oooh I wanna fly, fly away with my (Angel)
She takes me high, she will always be my
(Angel)
Fly away, fly away
My love for her is not about jewelry and cars
I love her cause she love me
Just for who I are
Who I is, who I am
Resembles the rims on the Lam'
I shine like Shyne when
Barrington Levy was sayin
"Didilly whoooa!"
I got love for the streets
Peace to New York and every hood in the East
Before I was duckin' cops, gunshots, I
Used to be an L.A. Dodger
Now I'm a
(Angel)
From the city of lost souls
Impalas and polished gold
Between the car, and the rims
We got a lot of chrome
Your hood not alone, they knockin
We not at home
And when they bust in, we not Caesar
But got it wrong
Cause they try to wire phones
I'm talking Verizon phones
The ones they put wires on
They got us on tap
But I put wires on, my Bentley in fact
I spit it through the wires on a Kanye track
I wanna turn up the sound and spread
My wings because I'm riding with my
(Angel)
Going through the city of the Chi make me
Feel like I'm in the city of
(Angels)
Oooh I wanna fly, fly away with my (Angel)
She takes me high, she will always be my
(Angel)
Yeah, it's The Game and Common
Spread your wings, follow your dreams
Things will be so serene
L.A. and the Chi is a team
Yeah, angel supreme
Yeah, keep on
Yeah, it's for the world boy
We do it forever
Yeah
Then I lay low, looking for the halo
Or more yayo, my little angel
Reminded me to stay playful
Faithful walks I take in the woods
Thinking whats good
Things that I can't change I should
Things I can't, need to be understood
Th-this is the bliss
