If You Listen To The Third Verse On Common's Song "6th Sense" He Explains Perfectly Why He Rhymes. This Verse Is Very Powerful And Meaningful To Me Because It Is Exactly Why I Rhyme As Well. What He Said About The Girl On The Bus Is Real, I See That All The Time With Kids Today, Also Peep What He Says About HIs Raps Being Smoke Signals For The Streets. Damn He Really Gets Deep On This Song And I Am Completely Vibin' It.
I LOVE H.E.R.
"Somedays I take the L to gel with the real world
Got on at 87th, stopped by this little girl
She recited raps, I forgot where they was from
In 'em, she was saying how she made brothers cum
I start thinking, how many souls hip-hop has affected
How many dead folks this art resurrected
How many nations this culture connected
Who am I to judge one's perspective?
Though some of that shit y'all pop true it, I ain't relating
If I don't like it, I don't like it, that don't mean that I'm hating
I just want to innovate and stimulate minds
Travel the world and penetrate the times
Escape through rhythms in search of peace and wisdom
Raps are smoke signals letting the streets know I'm with 'em
For now I appreciate this moment in time
Ball players and actors be knowing my rhymes"
