[Intro: Swizz Beatz]

This that Common, this that Common

But none that we do is ever that common (Let's go, woo)

This that cold, this that cold (Woo)

And none that we do gon' ever be normal (Let's go)

[Verse 1: Common & Swizz Beatz]

Free a nigga mind, free a nigga dome

Freedom is a line, even if it's long, keep it on the stones (Damn! Woo)

Pockets full of uh, rocket full of uh (Damn)

I'm cold niggas freeze like I'm 'bout to stick 'em up (Geez)

I'm particular about my vernacular (Yes)

I'm not particular 'bout what I got off in this cup (Shot)

This section man they hate us, man they say we not enough

Uh huh, started from the bottom now we up, up, up, up (Geez)

Turn a nigga up, up, why you tryna buck up?

Photoshop hustler, picture gettin' touched up (Come on)

I'm a constructor of tearin' down structure

They wanna cuff us, really it's just us

That's why we kick dust off, Noreaga, what? What? (Woo)

Like Jigga, nigga what? What? Who? Who?

Don't care about what other crews do I cruise through, crucial

Black like voodoo, a guru of the new, new (Yeah, yeah)

[Chorus: Swizz Beatz]

They waitin' on you to come outside (Come outside, oh)

Just so they can downplay your life (Downplay your life)

But I'm never scared (Oh), I'm never scared (Oh)

Can't move me and I've been there (And I've been there)

[Verse 2: Common & Swizz Beatz]

Na-na-na-na now nigga now free your mind (Yeah)

We keep e-e-e-erupting time

Cut us we gon' bleed up divine (Geez)

Turnin' that wood, we up and wine

We on the grind (Oh)

Grinding, designing

Like Virgil Abloh, we shining (Off)

We move mountains while climbing (Woo)

I'm into fine things

Like dining with fine things (Common)

My dreams found wings on the back of the struggle

Pull a back muscle, back to the hustle

Rap for the duffle and the black couples

That lay troubles down and let love do (Geez)

It's diligence, I'm militant for villages, the villainous

They pillage us but will it with the real in us?

(Talk to 'em, talk to 'em, talk to 'em)

[Chorus: Swizz Beatz]

They waitin' on you to come outside (Outside, Goddamn, Goddamn)

Just so they can downplay your life (Downplay your life)

But I'm never scared, I'm never scared (Goddamn, Goddamn)

Can't move me and I've been there (And I've been there, yeah)

[Verse 3: Common & Swizz Beatz]

Ghost of the past telling me to blast

Telling me to fast, telling me to go whoop a nigga ass (Oh)

Vast is the task that grasp the mask cast

Over the mass that dash for cash that last fast (Talk to 'em)

Slow down, we can hold down

The fort of profound, thoughts that go 'round

The world is your town, it's my town

It's the new wave, we on high ground, come on (Hey)

[Bridge: Swizz Beatz]

What you just heard, was exclusive

Common, show team

Something, something, something, something

God damn it (God damn it, God damn it)

[Verse 4: Marcato]

Rock back swallow [?] you're crazy (yeah)

Meaning, I'm solid than you made me

Baby, I'm sorry

Baby, I'm changing

Note down [?] what we're facing

And see what their face is

My guess is not good but [?]
