Common - 1-9-9-9 Lyrics
"Still gettin mine, in the" "ONE" "NINE" "NINE" "NINE"
[sample cut and played in background]
[Talib Kweli]
Yo, just relax, take it easy slow down
Who just, you know, he was movin too fast, yaknawimsayin?
I told him to slow down, he said the sun don't chill
I said, I said still, I said still, you gotta
Just appreciate life, sit back, don't let it fly right past you
No matter what go on I'm still gettin mine
No matter the year, no matter the place, no matter the time
[Common]
Check it, it's like I'm fightin for freedom, writin for freedom
These record company niggas I don't like when I see em
Hopin in the promise land I can walk wit em
Shitted on, so many rappers it's like I'm in the stall wit em
Molest concepts, start rhythm, paid dues, bought wisdom
As legends fall my godmother answer heaven's call
Preachers' daughters get fucked in the reverand's hall
MC's reckless ?I ball? why y'all wanna go and do that?
Must've thought I was solo, the name just ain't the U-Ac
No mo', still together
Like in the ghetto photo wit one nigga in the chair
Holdin liquor in despair, gang signs in the air
I shine in spaces where time is just a glare
Hold the mic like a memory
Niggas say I'm nice wit metaphors but these are similes
Street ministry, my poetry's a penitentiary, track is visitation
Sentences is life, I'm like chief up in this demonstration
Still...
"Still gettin mine, in the" "ONE" "NINE" "NINE" "NINE"
[sample cut and played in background x4]
[Sadat X][in background during sample]
Check it out, everyday ha yeah
This how we gon' do it for y'all
Common Sense, Sadat X puttin something in your ear
Something for you to grab
For the whole world, yaknowimsayin, but it ain't free
It's a fee, check it out
You squirm wit this coughin, whippin cough
Six days of madness and you might throw me off
On this great ball of stress that they call the earth
I'ma show y'all in rhyme just how much shit I been through
And all the place I went to, always played the low
It's like a competition, this mission here I'm tellin you
Slip up and rhyme-ass niggas here is fellin you
Crash courses, slow down you can't learn that quick
Cuz I'm the dead eye, wit the red eye, from Chi to L-I
I thought y'all knew, every year I grew, I'm still growin
And in a year or two I hope my girl'll be showin
A male seed, praise God I name him Moses
I lead people I want him to, that's why I chose this
Now is the glass half-full or half-empty
Common, why they tempt me?
The king of the simply, bore in mic
I always stay on top cuz I give niggas what they like
I know y'all hate that why I feel I owe y'all everyday
If y'all hear it a thousand times, it's gon' be the same way
The 'Dat-Father, go farther, why bother
Now I'm a peaceful man, I don't want no stress
You know I'm still...
"Still gettin mine, in the" "ONE" "NINE" "NINE" "NINE"
[sample cut and played in background 3X]
[Common]
Yo yo, some get Range Rovers, some religion change-over
Angel on my main shoulder tellin me remain sober
Token nigga, game's over ain't no payola in freestyle
In battles, I'm warring/Warren like a G-Child
Searchin for the child in me, this style in me
This release is like the piece that's now in me
They tried to 'sassinate me god, like Martin on the bal-cony
Lyrically I put a hit on em, cuz I'm the style-Nitty
Catch a flick at the Liquid Kitty
Tryin to get a chick to kick it wit me till the tilt
Told her my Chamber's like Wilt
Built wit her for a sec, let her know I had respect
Less than a hour she was givin me neck, yo I'm still gettin mine...
"Still gettin mine, in the" "ONE" "NINE" "NINE" "NINE"

2017. still gettin mine
Word. This. Shit. Still. Bangs. In. 2017.
2.0.1.7.
Epic track. Talib, Common, Sadat X and Hi-Tek on the 1s and 2s. Simply dopeness!
this the hip hop we need back, not that chantin two syllable chorus crap! this stuff today is garbage.
At this time there was wackness, too. Just like back in the day, there is good stuff underground. You have to dig a little bit, just like then. Now it's different, though we can dig online.
2.0.1.6...
Real hip-hop....premier on da beat
oh yea thats right lol
Two Snares its because Babu did the scratching...and babu and preemo have litteralyy the exact same rhythm...scratch masters
Two Snares but it is hi tek

+Nerdbama Rich I mean everytime I hear this im like its theme music to his style: urban and smooth
Bobby Orr I couldn't have said it any better myself my dude.
Gool ol days
Bobby Orr yessir. I really do miss that era of music..
This made me wish I never slept on Common for a long time
Hip hop at its finest
This and patriotism was the climax of a dope n classic album.
I meannn...one of the best albums\mixtapes in hip hop? chill son. 99 was a GREAT year for the genre 👊
This IS one of the best albums/mixtape in hip hop history. Definitely one of the most overlooked. U can play this from front to back and jam to it without skipping a track
# Common

I could be wrong, but wasn't Eminem on a remix of this or something? I think I remember that. Can anyone help me?
In fact he is a shitty person, not a shitty rapper.
TI isn't that bad, in fact he is actually one of the good ones you named...the only one that is good out of who you named.
Please, shut the fuck up
don't hate on t.i.
GOOSEBUMPS
WTF HAPPENED 2 HIP-HOP????!!!! Drake, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Young Jeezy, T.I., Tyga, Whiz Kalifa & all these other modern-day LAME CHEESY CORNY ASSHOLE POSERS MURDERED IT IN COLD BLOOD
Diamond D - 'When it pours it rains'. You seriously need to get the album... I bet I've listened to it more than any other album I've owned!
