Its a love thang!

Common feat Mary J. Blige - Come Close



[Intro][Common:]
It's just a fly love song, what

[Mary J:]
Mmmmm

[Common:]
It's just a fly love song, what

[Verse: Common]
Are we living in a dream world?
Are your eyes still green girl?
I know your sick and tired of arguing
But you can't keep it bottled in
Jealousy, we got to swallow it
Your heart and mind baby follow it
Smile, happiness you could model it
And when you feel opposite
I just want you to know
Your whole being is beautiful
Im going to do the best I can do
Cause i'm the best when i'm with you

[Chorus: Mary J. Blige]
Come close to me baby
Let your love hold you
I know this world is crazy
What's it without you

[Verse: Common]
Put down your bags love
I know in the past love
Has been sort of hard on you
But I see the God in you
I just want to nurture it
Though this love may hurt a bit
We dealing wit this water love
You even give my daughter love
I want to build a tribe wit you
Protect and provide for you
Truth is I can't hide from you
The pimp in me
May have to die with you

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I know what you're thinking,
you're on my mind
You're right, you're right, you're right
You promise so fast you just might take flight
Hope your not tired, tonight, tonight

[Verse: Common]
You help me to discover me
I just want you to put trust in me
I kind of laugh when you cuss at me
The aftermath is you touching me
It's destiny tthat we connected girl
You and I we can affect the world
I'm tired of the fast lane
I want you to have my last name

[Chorus]

[Bridge (2x)]



I really like this song. it's a beautiful love song and the video is so simple (which is the beauty of it). Common is one of my fav artists. there are some classic tracks of his I was going to post but I went with this instead......I just felt like a feel good song (and this always does the trick).
Hope y'all enjoy it as much as I did and do.......

The Roots ft. Erykah Badu - You Got Me


The lyrics

[Chorus] x 2

(Erykah Badu)
If you were worried 'bout where
I been or who I saw or
what club I went to with my homies
baby don't worry you know that you got me

[Verse 1]

(Black Thought)
Somebody told me that this planet was small
we use to live in the same building on the same floor
and never met before
until I'm overseas on tour
and peep this ethiopian queen from philly
taking classes abroad
she studying film and photo flash focus record
said she workin on a flick and
could my click do the score
she said she loved my show in paris
at elise momarre
and that I stepped off the stage
and took a piece of her heart
we knew from the start that
things fall apart, intentions shatter
she like that shit don't matter
when I get home get at her
through letter, phone, whatever
let's link, let's get together
shit you think not, think the Thought went home and forgot
time passed, we back in philly now she up in my spa
tellin me the things I'm tellin her is makin her hot
startin buildin with her constantly round the clock
now she in my world like hip-hop
and keep tellin me

[Chorus] x2

[Verse 2]

(Black Thought)
Yo, I'm the type that's always catchin a flight
and sometimes I gotta be out at the height of the night
and that's when she flip and get on some 'ol

(Eve)
Another lonely night
seems like I'm on the side you only loving your mic
I know you gotta get that paper daddy keep that shit tight
but yo I need some sort of love in my life, you dig me
while politicin with my sister from new york city
she said she know this ball player and he think I'm pretty
sike, I'm playin boo, you know it's just wit you I'm stayin boo
and when cats be poppin game I don't hear what they sayin boo
when you out there in the world, I'm still your girl
with all my classes I don't have the time for life's thrills
so when you sweatin on stage think of me when you rhyme
and don't be listenin to your homies they be leavin you blind

(Black Thought)
Yeah, so what you sayin I can trust you?

(Eve)
Is you crazy, you my king for real

(Both)
But sometimes relationships get ill

(Eve)
No doubt

[Chorus] x2

[Verse 3]

(Black Thought)
Thet snake could be that chick
and that rat could be that cool cat
that's whispering "she tryin to play you for the fool Black"
if something's on your chest then let it be known
see I'm not your every five minutes all on the phone
and on the topic of trust, it's just a matter of fact
that people bite back and fracture what's intact
and they'll forever be I ain't on some "oh I'm a celebrity"
I deal with the real so if it's artificial let it be
I've seen people caught in love like whirlwinds
listening to they squads and listening to girlfriends
that's exactly the point where they whole world ends
lies come in, that's where that drama begins, she like

[Chorus] until fade

Till we get there!

TILL WE GET THERE FEAT. K'NAAN (M-1 (of Dead Prez))

Video Code provided by VideoCodeZone.Com

K'naan:
here we go
from the poorest and blackest of people
2 survivng the streets the streets of mogadishu
the most dangerous and lethal
yet peaceful
we know evil
I come from the slums that's run down
speak native intelligent tongue sound
would rather get gunned down than dumb down
so calm down

M1 :
much success to you comrade
to who I wronged if its never been said before
my bad
I took a page from the book of martin luther
and decided that its better to hug you than 2 shoot you
am sorry homie if its not wat u used to
but the way that we livin this black lives is beautiful
all the things we been thru
and the thing we done blew
we probably family but we never knew

Stori:
chorus
till we get there I am on ur side
till we get there I am on ur side
it could take some time
till we win this fight
till we get there I am on ur side


M1:
dats wat's called solidarity
wen we struggle its therapy
at the kr's we get clarity
my enemy's enemy is my man remember
I aint tryin 2 b endin up in this man's dilema
we only here 4 a minute
its wat u make uself livin
see am a rider and am gonn' be remembered
4 those of u not born to those u not here
I wish u da best and dats real
