Nothing-nothing-nothing-nothing 

Nothing you could do (4x)

They say he's a radical, he don't fit the game 
A heart full of glory and a fist of pain 
A couple of battle scars but shit's the same 
Are you not entertained 
So all the onlookers and the bystanders 
Wait til intermission, run buy your camera 
Record the moment, cause it'll be platinum 
And you could say you seen Common rock the stadium 

I was told by a wise old to come from the heart 
Though I might've did The Light, I don't run from the dark 
The dark knight to spark mics, and start fights 
The warrior archetype like Kimbo Slice 
It's strength in the beard, am I loved or feared 
A beast amongst boys like Paul I'm revered 
Vroof, vroof vroof vroof vroof Vroof vroof well 
Like Jacob Jewel, I keep clientele 
You frail on the mic like you might break a nail 
I might smoke a joint but I won't take the L 
I knew a fat girl who broke the scale 
Still touched down cause I was off Artell 
Had dreams of breaking Mike Vick out of jail 
Took the underground rail to the end that failed 
I rebel, NYSL 
Here to leave a trail like Nelson Mandela

My words is the sword, my skill is the shield 
My life is the style I stay dressed to kill 
A legend like Will Smith with the steel 
I could save the world when shit get for real 
Skinny George Foreman, all in your grill 
My rhyme style is blind, it's all in the feel 
Touch it and watch the blood fall with the steel 
The weak raps you wrote you could call that your will 
My drive VROOM is how I stay the livest 
Your guys got you gassed, my flow is a hybrid 
Crashed I survived it, gashes over eyelids 
You easy to take out cause you hot garbage 
I'm amped like wattage, the truth nigga honest 
Any moment opponents drop out like college 
Kneel and pay homage to the rap Ziggy Stardust 
Stadium hands in the air fists balled up 

Nothing you could do (4x)

Feet in the dirt, blood on the shirt 
Scars over bars, symbols of the work 
Tight clothes the armor, center of the drama 
Defeat your whole army like this is Sparta 
So don't violate or you'll get violated 
Some of you model bitches is so overrated 
Don't mean to underrate it but damn it I made it 
In the water I waded on the corner I painted 
Draw blood like we related 
MCs get de-decapitated 
Syncopated is the style that I fight with, write with 
Mr. Excitement, change your face up like a white chick 
Then light shit up like a dread with the herbs 
Get sex in the city and head in the burbs 
These are the words of a radical 
The crowd applaud, I'm bowed, I'm proud 
To be the gladiator
