    by: Common Sense

    Verse One:
    I'm {easy} easy, easy like Sunday morning
    I can kick a stupid nervous joint when I'm yawning
    Ahhh, Common's comin with that old oh excuse me
    Elizabeth, this is a big one, I mean a dewe-dewe
    Doogie, Howser, cause see I'm like Bowser
    Kickin it with the sha-na-na-na, the t-shirt, and the
    trousers, how's the, Family Ties?
    I'm left with the gift, open it up, SUPRISE!
    Big bat, filet-o-fish, quarter pounder french fries
    Icy Coke, milkshake, sundaies and apple pies
    And a cup? Nah, that's enough of that
    I'm like an indian giver, yo, give me that back
    Comin again hip-pop-pop-pop bring it back selector
    We be the thoroughbred, so use your head, play the Trifecta
    Common infector, smug MC, heads up!
    Ya better duck cause muck-a-luck, it's me
    [Now what's your name] Common
    Come in again... Common
    [How would you do it] Common
    [Now how was she] Common, check it out!
    Common is coming soon to a theater near you
    To the U-A-C crew, nuff respect due
    Do I do, where I do, when I do
    I do do do, yo I do it on the ease
