They Say lyrics

Artist  : Common 
Song : They Say



 Send "They Say" Ringtone to your Cell 

 They say, "What's happenin'?"

We say the facts and if, they lie

We comin' back for them

They might say but they don't know

They say, they say

They don't know



They say a nigga lost his mind

But in the scheme of things I never lost a
rhyme

The thin line between love and hatred

I'm the black pill in the Matrix, the saturated
life



They say life is what you make it

So I wait quick on a spaceship so I can take
it

As high as the stakes get when paper get low

I be tellin' Derick, "Tell Kara get us a show"



Little Com, I make righteous bitches get low

The richest man ain't necessarily the nigga wit
dough

They say, "You ripped" yeah, that's what they
say

My niggaz couldn't tell it was me, like Jamie in
Ray



Paintin' a day, wit focused crime, broads, and
good wine

They say, "Dope is sour so it's homework and hood
crimes"

I stood mine, for forever and a day so goodbye

They never could say tell 'em, J



They say, "What's happenin'?"

We say the facts and if, they lie

We comin' back for them

They might say but they don't know

They say, they say

They don't know



Ahh, the sweet taste of victory

Go head and breath it in like antihistamine

I know they sayin', "Damn, yay snapped wit this
beat"

Fuck you expect? I've got a history



Groupie love now, gotta be them wheels

Haters back down, gotta be that steel

I know they cant wait till ya outta ya deal

Look how they did D'Angelo ask 'em how do it
feel



My best friends worry 'bout me

'Cause they know when you famous

And you had made cash the media aims at us and
you be up so high

If you ever fall off, it feel like a plane
crash



But God don't ever give me nothin' I can't
handle

So please don't ever give me records I can't
sample

So I could vacate where it ain't no channels

But it's quite okay for a gangsta to wear
sandals



They say 'cause of the fame and stardom

I'm somewhere in between the church and insane
asylum

I guess it's messin' with my health then

And this verse so crazy when I finish I'm just
gon' check myself in again



They say, "What's happenin'?"

We say the facts and if, they lie

We comin' back for them

They might say but they don't know

They say, they say

They don't know



They say, "Dude think he righteous"

I write just to free minds, from Stoney to
Rikers

Amongst the lifeless, in a world crazy as Mike
is

On my paper, whether it's weed or Isis



They say, "Life is a game", so I play hard

Writin' for my life 'cause I'm scared of a day
job

They say, "Sef kept the hood together"

I tell the young, "We can't play the hood
forever"



Play my cards right, they say I went to left

They showed me strange love, like I was Mr. F

Played chess in this game of, pawns and
knights

Now I claim king like Don, or Frank White



They say my life is comparable to Christ's

The way I sacrificed, and resurrected, twice

They say, "The crochet pants and the sweater was
wack"

Seen the corner, now they say, "That nigga's
back"



They say, "What's happenin'?"

We say the facts and if, they lie

We comin' back for them

They might say but they don't know

They say, they say

They don't know
