Common, The Roots - Love Of My Life (Common) (Live) lyrics

Uhthis what I'm talkin' 'bout
This what I'm talkin' 'bout
Y'all feeling that shit right there?
If y'all feel that shit right
About now, come on, y'all
Make some noise if you're with me
Come on, y'all
Make some noise if you're with me
Make some noise if you're with me
Make some noise if you're with me

It's like that, y'all
And it sounds so nice
Hip-hop, you the love of my life
We 'bout to go to the top, y'all
Hip-hop love
To the top, what, hip-hop, check it out
It's like that, y'all
And it sounds so nice
Hip-hop, you the love of my life
We 'bout to go to the, to the, to the
To the
To the, to the, to the, to the, to the
Check it out, yo

The anticipation arose as time froze
I stared off the stage with my eyes closed
And dove into the deep cosmos
The impact pushed back 25 rows
But before the raw live shows
Common, I's a little snot nosed
Rockin' Gazelle goggles and Izod clothes
Learnin' the ropes of ghetto survival
Peepin' out the situation I
Had to slide through
Had to watch my back, my
Front, plus my sides, too
When it came to gettin' mine
I ain't tryin' to argue
Sometimes I wouldn'ta made it if
It wasn't for you
Hip-hop, you the love of my
Life and that's true
When I was handlin' the shit I had to do
It was all for you, from the door for you
Speak through you
Gettin' paper on tour for you
From the start
Thought was down by law for you
I used to hit up every
Corner store wall for you yo, I ripped shit
And kept it hardcore for you
Yo, I remember late nights
Fiendin' for the mic
Hip-hop, you the love of my life
See The Roots Live get tickets as low as $68
Tell the people like that y'all
And it sounds so nice
Hip-hop, you the love of my life
We 'bout to take it to the top, love
Hip-hop love to the top, love, hip-hop love
Check it out, it's like that, y'all
And it sounds so tight
Hip-hop, you the love of my life
We 'bout to take it to the, to the, to the
To the
To the, to the, to the, to the, to the

Check it out, yo, I was speakin'
To my guy 'Riq and
How she was desperately seekin' to
Organize in a Konfusion
Usin', no protection
Told HER on Resurrection
Caught in the Hype Williams
And lost HER direction
Gettin' ate in sections where
I wouldn't eat HER
An under the counter love
So silently I treat HER
Her Daddy'll beat HER, eyes all Puff-ed
In the mix on tape
Niggas had her in the buff
When we touch, it was more than just a fuck
The Police, in her I found peace
Like Malcolm in the East
Seen HER on the streets of New York
Trickin' off tried to make a hit with
HER my dick went soft
Movin' weight, losin' weight
Not picky with who she choose to date
To confuse the hate
With her struggle I relate close to thirty
Most of the niggas she know is dirty
Havin' more babies than Lauryn
She started showin' early
As of late, realized, this is HER fate
Or destiny that brings the best of me
It's like God is testin' me in retrospect
I see she brought life and death to me
Peace to us collectively
Live and direct when we perform
It's just coffee shop chicks and white dudes
Over HER i got into it
With that nigga Ice Cube
Now the fight moved to in life
Makin' the right moves
Besides God and family, you my life's jewel

It's like that, y'all, and it sounds nice
Hip-hop, you the love of my life
We 'bout to take it to the top, love
Hip-hop love to the top, love, hip-hop love
Check it out, what what what
And it sounds so tight
Hip-hop, you the love of my life
We 'bout to take it to the, to the, to the
To the, to the, to the, to the, to the top
Y'all
