Gladiator by Common

############################# Video Source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0eX0RX6UKg

I just had to put this song up because no one ever has the original, only remixes and whatnot and I found it unfair. Big ups to Common for such an ill song and thanks Windows Live Movie Maker and I hope you appreciate the original as much as I did. • I own no rights to this song. This song is exclusively owned by Common and producers The Neptunes • Link Available: http://www.4shared.com/mp3/PjmqiCNS/c... • Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing • Nothing you could do • (Straight up) • There's nothing you could do • (Not a boy says) • There's nothing you could do • (I want to know why you want tot play with it) • There's nothing you could do • They say he's a radical, he don't fit the game • A heart full of glory and a fist of pain • A couple of battle scars but shit's the same • Are you not entertained? • So all the onlookers and the bystanders • Wait till intermission, run buy your camera • Record the moment 'cause it'll be platinum • And you could say you seen • Common rock the stadium with Gladiator • I was told by a wise old to come from the heart • Though I might've did The Light, I don't run from the dark • The dark knight to spark mics and start fights • The warrior archetype like Kimbo Slice • It's strength in the beard, am I loved or feared? • A beast amongst boys like Paul I'm revered • Vroof, vroof, vroof, vroof, vroof, vroof • Well, like Jacob Jewel, I keep clientele • You frail on the mic like you might break a nail • I might smoke a joint but I won't take the L • I knew a fat girl who broke the scale • Still touched down 'cause I was off Artell • Had dreams of breaking Mike Vick out of jail • Took the underground rail to the end that failed • I rebel, NYSL, here to leave a trail like Nelson Mandela • There's nothing you could do • (Man, why you want to go against me?) • There's nothing you could do • (You sing where I fall) • There's nothing you could do • (You sing what I do) • There's nothing you could do • They say he's a radical, he don't fit the game • A heart full of glory and a fist of pain • A couple of battle scars but shit's the same • Are you not entertained? • So all the onlookers and the bystanders • Wait till intermission, run buy your camera • Record the moment 'cause it'll be platinum • And you could say you seen Common rock the stadium • My words is the sword, my skill is the shield • My life is the style, I stay dressed to kill • A legend like Will Smith with the steel • I could save the world when shit get for real • Skinny George Foreman, all in your grill • My rhyme style is blind, it's all in the feel • Touch it and watch the blood fall with the steel • The weak raps you wrote you could call that your will • My drive, vroom, is how I stay the livest • Your guys got you gassed, my flow is a hybrid • Crashed I survived it, gashes over eyelids • You easy to take out 'cause you hot garbage • I'm amped like wattage, the truth nigga honest • Any moment opponents drop out like college • Kneel and pay homage to the rap Ziggy Stardust • Stadium hands in the air fists balled up • There's nothing you could do • (You know what it is) • There's nothing you could do • (The boys rock) • There's nothing you could do • (So who next?) • There's nothing you could do • They say he's a radical, he don't fit the game • A heart full of glory and a fist of pain • A couple of battle scars but shit's the same • Are you not entertained? • So all the onlookers and the bystanders • Wait till intermission, run buy your camera • Record the moment 'cause it'll be platinum • And you could say you seen • Common rock the stadium, the gladiator • Feet in the dirt, blood on the shirt • Scars over bars, symbols of the work • Tight clothes the armor, center of the drama • Defeat your whole army like this is Sparta • So don't violate or you'll get violated • Some of you model bitches is so overrated • Don't mean to underrate it but damn it, I made it • In the water I waded, on the corner I painted • Draw blood like we related • MCs get de-decapitated • Syncopated is the style that I fight with, write with • Mr. Excitement, change your face up • Like a white chick then light shit • Up like a dread with the herbs • Get sex in the city and head in the burbs • These are the words of a radical • The crowd applaud, I'm bowed, I'm proud to be the gladiator • There's nothing you could do • (How could you even question this?) • There's nothing you could do • (Now you know) • There's nothing you could do • (The future) • There's nothing you could do • They say he's a radical, he don't fit the game • A heart full of glory and a fist of pain • A couple of battle scars but shit's the same • Are you not entertained? • So all the onlookers and the bystanders • Wait till intermission, run buy your camera • Record the moment 'cause it'll be platinum • And you could say you seen • Common rock the stadium with Gladiator • Courtesy of elyrics.net, a great lyric site
