How could a nigga be so scared of change?
That's what you hustle for, for the currency exchange
Y'all rich, we could beef curry in the game
Out your mouth, ain't nobody hurrying my name
You seen what happened when the com go bang
Wouldn't have a shot, even at a gun range
Seen hype become fame against the grain become main-stream
It all seems mundane in the scope of thangs

All traces of life
In our gats we carry
That's used to dress humanity
(It's a new wave, come on!)
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
(It's a new wave, dig it)

[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
(It's a new wave, come on)
This life is precious
It's goddamn marvelous
Before it ever ends
(Come on)

From a land of shit talk, boy stars and pitch forks
Didn't really see white until I went north
Getting bent on backyards, wishing in the air for a black God
Where people fix cars and clap hard
And look to the stars for rap jobs
I walk through the black fog with reflectors on my boots
Smelling war near, I'm connected with the troops

That master anger and ain't afraid to shoot
Through poured liquor fallen angels they salute
Feel the wind blow
A new wave people with their hair trimmed low
It's two ways living in this world of techno
This age can't really save the ghetto
I pause for the rebels who rock heavy metals
And tell them that they're pharaoh so let go
Come on

All traces of life
In our gats we carry
That's used to dress humanity
(It's a new wave, come on)
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
(It's a new wave, dig it)

[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
(It's a new wave, come on)
This life is precious
It's goddamn marvelous
Before it ever ends
(It's a new wave, come on)

Come on
Come on
Come on

New Wave (feat. Laetitia Sadier) Lyrics

Yeah
The war zone
Who you fighting for?

It's like funk to rhythm and punk to rock
Loud like shot that come from a glock
Pick up your mind, run from the spot
Revolution jumping in the parking lot
Shit is so hot that the sun watch
Children by the window with the gun cocked
They could get robbed and stop the luck last
Monkeys dance around for MTV spots

I lock into a
Rock into a rhythm of street and ancient wisdom
Experiment in stereo loud so crank the system
For the humble on the path I paint a vision
How far will a nigga go just for attention
And to be remembered, you forgot the mission
Listen

All traces of life
In our gats we carry
That's used to dress humanity
(It's a new wave, come on)
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
(It's a new wave, dig it)

[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
(It's a new wave, come on!)
This life is precious
It's goddamn marvelous
Before it ever ends
(Come on)

I lay terror in this era like Che Guevara
For the people to make or wait it's better
In a room called real I stay forever
Everyday I lose something I gain forever
Meditate on how I can change the weather
My brainstorm for some it's like a pace umbrella
Where bullets and lies both spray together
My mind scream like Al Green "Let's stay together"

How could a nigga be so scared of change?
That's what you hustle for, for the currency exchange
Y'all rich, we could beef curry in the game
Out your mouth, ain't nobody hurrying my name
You seen what happened when the com go bang
Wouldn't have a shot, even at a gun range
Seen hype become fame against the grain become main-stream
It all seems mundane in the scope of thangs

All traces of life
In our gats we carry
That's used to dress humanity
(It's a new wave, come on!)
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
(It's a new wave, dig it)

[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
(It's a new wave, come on)
This life is precious
It's goddamn marvelous
Before it ever ends
(Come on)

From a land of shit talk, boy stars and pitch forks
Didn't really see white until I went north
Getting bent on backyards, wishing in the air for a black God
Where people fix cars and clap hard
And look to the stars for rap jobs
I walk through the black fog with reflectors on my boots
Smelling war near, I'm connected with the troops

That master anger and ain't afraid to shoot
Through poured liquor fallen angels they salute
Feel the wind blow
A new wave people with their hair trimmed low
It's two ways living in this world of techno
This age can't really save the ghetto
I pause for the rebels who rock heavy metals
And tell them that they're pharaoh so let go
Come on

All traces of life
In our gats we carry
That's used to dress humanity
(It's a new wave, come on)
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
(It's a new wave, dig it)

[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
(It's a new wave, come on)
This life is precious
It's goddamn marvelous
Before it ever ends
(It's a new wave, come on)

Come on
Come on
Come on

Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr. (born March 13, 1972 in Chicago, Illinois), better known by his stage name Common (previously Common Sense), is a Grammy award winning rapper, author and actor known for lyrics that focus on love and spirituality. Signed to Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music, many people describe him as being a conscious hip hop artist who makes songs that send a message. He debuted in 1992 with the album Can I Borrow a Dollar? and maintained a significant underground following into the late 90s, after which he gained notable mainstream success through his work with the Soulquarians.

As well as music, Common has worked as an actor, on films such as 'Smokin' Aces' (as Sir Ivy) 'American Gangster' (as Turner Lucas), 'Wanted', and 'John Wick: Chapter 2'. He may also be seen in cameo roles in films such as 'Brown Sugar'.

His debut was the 1992 album Can I Borrow A Dollar, but he achieved little critical or commercial success until 1994's Resurrection, an instant classic. He produced several more albums, notably Like Water For Chocolate and the highly experimental Electric Circus, before releasing the Kanye West and J Dilla-produced Be in 2005, which was his first album to receive widespread mainstream appeal and radio playtime.

Common is considered a "cred" artist, which has lead him to collaborations with the likes of De La Soul, Jadakiss, T.I, Talib Kweli, The Roots, Kanye West, Lily Allen, Erykah Badu, and Fort Minor.

The 2007 album Finding Forever was produced mainly by long-time collaborator, Kanye West. Common released his eighth album Universal Mind Control in 2008, which was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album but lost to the Eminem album Relapse. He released his ninth album The Dreamer/The Believer in 2011. Nobody's Smiling, his tenth album, was released in 2014. The concept of the album was inspired by his troubled hometown of Chicago.
