Songwriters: Fareed, Kamaal Ibn John; Jones-Muhammad, Ali Shahe; Taylor, Malik;

. Send "Common Ground" Ringtone to your Cell .

Who that at the door?
Yo tip its her yo
Whatchu doin here, in front my face
Whatchu doin here, in front my face
Whatchu doin here, in front my face
You didn't want my you didn't want it
So go somewhere, where you are wanted
But if you want to, then you could come here
Come here yo yo yo haha haha

Have you ever met a woman who just took your breath?
(Yeah uh huh uh huh yeah uh huh)
So deep inside her life she contemplated death
(Damn she did give a fella the creeps)

Can't help but get attached to a woman like that
(True that, true that, true that, true that)
The contact was quite immmediate, i had good tact
(Because you the man, you know you the man)
We related and debated over food and toons
(You know im good)
It started out in september now we into the june
(Say word, say word, say word, say word)

A simple night in the crib, now it just wont do
(No it just wont do, no it just wont do)
Because she liable to start shit to whail for you
(Whail for you, whail for uh)
She wanna push em away, buy diamond chips
And trick on treats, converse em'll flip
Gotta do her hair, take her out to the fair
Win a teddy bear, make sure you dont stare
At another one comin, dont be startin nothin
Be a slave to her, dont be brave to her
Make sure that she right, make sure that you wrong
When she wants to do it, make sure that its long
If anybody wanna make it work, it's me
(Hear me out hear me out)
But we gotta come to a common ground, baby
(Stay fly for me)

Any man, he could claim to be the one for you
(Say word, say word, say word, say word)
But put a street to yourself and realize whats true
(Yo word yo word yo word yo word)

If its me then lets get it goin on
And if its me then lets get it goin on
And if its me then lets get it goin on
And if its me then lets get it goin on
Get it goin on, lets get it goin on
And if its me then lets get it goin on
And if its me then lets get it goin on

Five billion a brick, its more that you could take
See, im not the one to be taken advantage of
And if you really think about it, i got nothin but love
And if your heart isnt in it, please let me know
Theres no need to waste time, if its no then i'll go

And if its me then lets get it goin on
And if its me then lets get it goin on
And if its me then lets get it goin on
And if its me then lets get it goin on
Get it goin on, lets get it goin on
And if its me then lets get it goin on
And if its me then lets get it goin on
Get it goin on, lets get it goin on
