New Wave Lyric

CommonMore lyric by Common
ELECTRIC CIRCUSDownload MIDI polyphonic ringtones of Common



Yeah! The war zone. Who you fighting for?

[Verse 1:
Common]

It's funk to rhythm and punk to rock
loud like shot that come
from a glock
Pick up your mind, run from the spot
Revolution jumping in
the parking lot
Shit is so hot that the sun watch
Children by the window
with the gun cocked
they could get robbed and stop the luck (?)
Monkeys
dance around for MTV spots
I lock into a....
rock into a rhythm of street
and ancient wisdom
Experiment in stereo loud so crank the system
For the
humble on the path I paint a vision
How far will a nigga go just for
attention
And to be remembered, you forgot the
mission
Listen!

[Chorus: Laetitia Sadier]
All traces of
life
in our gats we carry
that's used to dress
humanity
([Common:] it's a New Wave, Come on!)

[Sung in
French]

All traces of life
in our gats we carry
that's used to
dress humanity
([Common:] it's a New Wave, Dig it!)

[Sung in
French]

This life is precious
it's goddamn? marvelous
before it
ever ends
([Common:] it's a New Wave, Come on!)

This life is
precious
it's goddamn? marvelous
before it ever ends
([Common:]
Come on! Come on!)

[Verse 2: Common]
I lay terror in this era
like Che Guevera
for the people to make or wait it's better
in a room
called real I stay forever
Everyday I lose something I gain
forever
Meditate on how I can change the weather
My brainstorm for some
it's like (?) umbrella
where bullets and lies both spray together
My mind
scream like Al Green "Let's Stay Together"
How could a nigga be so scared of
change
That's what you hustle for, for the currency exchange
Ya'll rich,
we could beef curry in the game
out your mouth, ain't nobody hurrying my
name
You seen what happened when the Com go BANG
Wouldn't have a shot,
even at a gun range
Seen hype become fame against the grain become
main-stream
It all seems mundane in the scope of
thangs

[Chorus]

[Verse 3: Common]
From a land of
shit talk, boy stars and pitch forks
didn't really see white until I went
North
Getting bent on backyards, wishing in the air for a black god
Where
people fix cars and clap hard
and look to the stars for rap jobs
I walk
through the black fog with reflectors on my boots
smelling war near, I'm
connected with the troops
that master anger and ain't afraid to
shoot
through poured liquor fallen angels they salute (Whew! Whew!)
Feel
the wind blow
A new wave- people with their hair trimmed low
It's two ways
living in this world of techno
This age can't really save the ghetto
I
pause for the rebels who rock heavy metals
and tell them that they're pharoh
so let go
Come on!

[Chorus]
