Yeah, what up! It's Common right here! Y'all
Know where I come from, and uh
Shoot I used to come to the D i used
To go to Detroit, like
Every two weeks to record with J
Dilla i be standing at the
Atheneum, and then, you know
He'd come scoop me up he had a
Range we'd either eat, we'd eat
At a Coney Island, close to his crib
He stayed 'round McNich' we'd go down
In his basement and stuff, and Jay
Dee would dig through the records and then
He would make a beat and
Then once he make a beat, I'd
Be like, "Yo that beat cold, " and
Then I'd just sit there and Frank, Frank
Would be around and then you know
And we'd just be kicking it I'd
Be getting some Heinekens and stuff
And then uh, they'd go to Chocolate City
To the strip club and I
Wasn't all into the strip clubs at
The time, so I'm like yo, i'd just
Be like, I'd sit there and be like
"I'm about to
Write this rap" Then one time I was like
"I'm going to the strip club with y'all"
I went to the club, and man
They had some good chicken wings, man
Some good, thick girls, and it was
Right anyway, I love the D
Man We used to kick it off in the D
That was like all day that's what we do
