Lyrics to Common Knowledge

[Verse 1]

I get more from simple common knowledge

That was after Lucien went to college

Faded up with gas, I'm feelin' garbage

Tryna find a way out to Milwaukee

My barber don't like me no more

'Cause I ain't been round for some weeks

My dad said I smell like a cigar

That's the Backwood from last week

I just dream of rockets like a Rockefeller, uh

Take me to a planet where I'm closer to the sun

These people down here hardheaded for real

Life if the blue sky fell, they'd be playin' it off

Our power don't come from the dick you have

My power gon come from the ones I teach

And pussy ain't nothin' but the world itself

And my God to love and my soul to teach



[Chorus]

Don't get too excited baby

Let's just burn these woods down

I'm putting on mileage baby

I really want to work it out



[Verse 2]

Why you ain't, why you ain't, why you ain't out

Why you actin' like you're accolades ain't ours

Why you spent hours top of hours in the room

Why your hair knappy, why your crew so rude

Why you say you'll call me, but you never really do

Why you say you love me, but you never really do

Why your car broke down headed to Chicago

Your brake pads louder, we ain't make it to the loop

Let me get some time in your spot

I'm about to pull up on your block

And you tryna let me hold the bag

And you tryna drive me right back

Let me get some time in your spot

I'm about to pull up on your block

And you tryna let me hold the bag

And you tryna drive me right back



[Chorus]

Don't get too excited baby

Let's just burn these woods down

I'm putting on mileage baby

I really want to work it out



[Outro]

Take me on a trip I'd like to go some day

Take me on the road, no don't you leave this way

I really want to

I really want to work it out
