Common Ground — текст песни (A Tribe Called Quest)

Q-tip:

Who that at the door? (yo, tip, its her)

What you doin here, in front of my face? (repeat 3x)

You didnt want my...you didnt want it

To go somewhere, you all on it

But if you want to, then you can come here

Come here, yo



Q-tip:

Have you ever met a woman that just took your breath?

So deep inside her life, she contemplated death

Cant help but get attatched to a woman like that (true dat)(repeat 4x)

The contact was quite immediate, I had to attack

(because you the man, yo, you know you the man)

We related and debated over food and tunes

Started out in september, now we enterin june (say word)(repeat 4x)

Simple night in the crib, no, it just wont do

(no it just wont do, no it just wont do)

Because she liable to start shit thats wildin you

(wildin you, wildin...)

She wanna push my whip, buy diamond chips

And take on trips, conversin my flip

Gotta do her hair, take her out to the fair

When a jake be there, make sure you dont stare

At another one comin, dont be startin nuthin

Be a slave to her, dont be brave to her

Make sure that shes right, make sure that youre wrong

When she wants to do it, make sure that its long

F anyone wanna make it work its me (phife dawg help me out)(repeat 2x)

But we gotta come through with common ground baby

Any man, he can claim to be the one for you

But put it straight to your lover in life runs true



Chorus:

And if its me then lets get it going on (repeat 4x)

Get it going on, lets get it going on

And if its me then lets get it going on (repeat 2x)



Q-tip:

Phife dawg in the break, is she more than you can take?



Phife:

See, Im not the one to be taken advantage of

And if you really think about it, I got nuthin but love

Now if your heart isnt in it, please let me know

Theres no need to waste time, if its no, then Ill go



Chorus:

And if its me then lets get it going on (repeat 4x)

Get it going on, lets get it going on

And if its me then lets get it going on (repeat 2x)

Get it going on, lets get it going on
