Common - Cloth(2011)

[00:41.46] We were from different cities on the same block
[00:44.53] Grew up in different circles in the same spot
[00:47.34] Like raindrops we fall in love giving our all
[00:50.14] Showing her ring off like a player at the ball
[00:52.72] I recall the walls that i had up
[00:54.77] Attracted to women for things that didn't matter
[00:57.18] Ka-clow boom pop! sound of my heart when it drop
[01:00.40] The night that i met her, it might be forever
[01:03.14] I hear people saying that they like us together
[01:05.80] I ain't afraid to gamble when life is getting better
[01:08.47] With you, i admit i had issues
[01:11.26] Like ebony, your essence, your pedigree, your presence
[01:13.67] It's more than clothes can say for you
[01:16.08] When i shop i gotta spend more than a day for you
[01:18.84] I pray for you and us, that we imbue through lust
[01:21.70] And accrue the trust, let's shake off the dust from the cloth
[01:24.83] Oh you're worried about when people stop and stare
[01:28.10] That's just a tear on those beautiful clothes you wear
[01:33.42] Cut from the same, cloth you just want to wear
[01:38.03] But that's just a tear because girl i can get you fresh
[01:44.54] La la la la, la la la la
[02:05.94] This is tailor-made love, fit like a snug
[02:08.81] Anything we can bear so let's have some cubs
[02:11.86] You were there when my cuz passed away
[02:13.88] Not only does love, but life hatches day
[02:16.36] I appreciate the hugs and the days i breed with you
[02:19.69] Strong seeds i can see with you, the good word i read with you
[02:22.67] Looking at things that we've been through
[02:24.65] Things that seem simple
[02:26.18] I know when to go hard and when to be gentle
[02:28.44] Sentimental laughs and expressions
[02:30.32] Let's stay in the present, no time for second guessing
[02:32.72] You said it's this cloth that makes you feel naked
[02:35.48] The truth we address it, that's so unexpected
[02:38.17] Yeah that's the thread that helps us move ahead
[02:40.74] Your hunger for affection will always be fed
[02:43.26] Thank god we never sped and let love take it's course
[02:45.95] Because what's inside of us, no need to outsource
[02:49.44] The cloth
[02:50.00] Oh you're worried about when people stop and stare
[02:54.17] That's just a tear on those beautiful clothes you wear
[03:00.02] Cut from the same, cloth you just want to wear
[03:04.58] But that's just a tear because girl i can get you fresh
[03:10.53] La la la la, la la la la
[03:30.78] Hey lover we can cover each other
[03:32.91] Through the coldest nights, tight never smother
[03:35.44] It's two things that seems to hold us together
[03:38.92] God is our tailor and forever
[03:40.71] It's two things that seems to hold us together
