The Next Chapter (Still Love H.E.R.) - J.Period, Common

«I met this girl when I was ten years old»

I had a dream, a dream since I was a kid

I’m moving, yes I’m moving on, the motor turning over

I met her when I was 10 as I began to grow older

Exposed to the culture, culture that would change me

With the mic check I paint a picture like Banksy

Concrete rose going through hoes and blows

On a paper chase, I found out I was chose

A fetish for clothes, success, and blessing the hood

The struggles of an MC progressing through the good

Music for the 90s, 2000s, and beyond

It started with me wanting niggas to say me could rhyme

And now it’s my time, then now it’s forever

Change the world, raps and styles getting better

Revolutionize and rising above the game again

My career is fading in, like a DJ on a blend

Women love the voice, brothers dig the lyrics

This is hip-hop y’all, we driving for the spirit

No I.D.

is in the house

Twilight Tone he’s in the house

J. Period is in the house

Kanye, he’s in the house

G.O.O.D.

Music, we in the house

J. Dilla, he’s in the house

Yo, The Roots they in the house

Kristen Mills is in the house

I had a dream, a dream since I was a kid

«They say hip-hop is dead, I’m here to resurrect me»

«I met this girl when I was ten years old

And what I loved most, she had so much soul»
