Common Streets Lyrics


Pressure:
It's all the same,
Regardless of your rep and your name
Rappers walking in the rain,
tryna state there claim
I can take the weight they just....
Take the backpain
There's much to gained with the money and fame
(It's like that)
I feel the power when i hear it in the streets
(It's like that)
It used to be about the lyrics and beats
(Behind that)
From tomorrow until comercialism
And now it's built as a prison
For us to walk common streets
Now if flesh is weak
My passion is my shield

And my strength is my speech
In which i'll make men yeild
'cause in the field of expertize
Man you rappers flex with ease
Using hip-hop as gimmicks in which to gain sex with these...
With a joint or a bottle...
And a picturing posing crew
The only thing i ever learned is
"I can only trust a chosen few"
I got respect for my crew
And love for my home
Never claimed the crown or throne from the use of microphone
(Just let me rideeee)
Or all you critics claiming minor skies
"Better trade in ya faget"
As you look into my eyes
And my sumizeee'll be the day that hip-hop dies
Or at least until the day the mass of boys ????
With every ?? on your faith
Companies supporting any and every
Breathe or laugh i take
Makes me gag in nauzia
Its jsut the asthma....
It's chokin' me, vocally
Provokin' me to live with frustation with words but locally
'cause globally im fucked, if you ever notice me
So I cling to what I got and rock the spot with chromozee...
'cause sometimes...
The people just don't wanna let go
Now put that mic down before you get crushed like Thredbo
But hold it now....
Who said were walking common streets?
You jsut keep rollin' them beats hip-hop cost all a ??
Some lost there creativy and our sense of ?? humble,
Ali threw in the gloves so now im rumblin' in the jungle
Don't you worry 'cause them punks will fall off figures
Times i wrote these shackle (dadadada)
You lost that love i feel ??????, and crackles
And only time he's able to heal the wounds
That was open ??? truth ???? community you food basket
Hipicrits, contradicting shit, every bit of it
I've heard more to save the gas ?????? illiterate
I jsut hung my head in my hands and kept, workin' on the beats
But now were workin for the lands, maybe one day common streets
It's all the same,
Regardless of your rep and your name
Rappers walking in the rain,
Tryna state there claim
I can take the weight they just....
Hate the backpain
There's much to gained with the money and fame
(It's like that)
I feel the power when i hear it in the streets
(It's like that)
It used to be about the lyrics and beats
(Behind that)
From tomorrow until comercialism
And now this spirits a prison
For us to walk common streets
It's all the same
Common streets
Can you feel it?
Can you feel the vibe?
Seem's im in a dream as im walk through the southside
Can you feel it?
Can you feel the vibe?
'cause it looks like we leavin' to the people walkin' by
Can you feel it?
Can you feel the vibe?
'cause it looks like we leavin' to the people walkin' by

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Hilltop Hoods is a hip hop group, formed in 1991, from Adelaide, South Australia, Australia. Their name refers to Hilltop Road In Blackwood, an Adelaide suburb in which they lived as children, and a part of Adelaide known by all the local B-Boys as The Hilltop. One day, another local rapper, Flak from the Cross Bred Mongrels, said that's what they should call themselves, and the name stuck.

The group formed when MCs Suffa and Pressure met at high school. When they later hooked up with DJ Debris through a mutual friend, the trio was complete.

They were inspired by American hip hop artists such as KRS-One, Gang Starr and Pete Rock, who encouraged them to spread this style of music in Australia.

The Hilltop Hoods have released eight successful recordings - Back Once Again (EP - 1997), A Matter of Time (LP - 1999), Left Foot, Right Foot (LP - 2001), The Calling (LP - 2003), The Hard Road (LP - 2006), The Hard Road: Restrung (LP-2007) ,State Of The Art (LP - 2009) and Drinking From The Sun (LP - 2012). The Calling achieved gold status in Australia (35,000+ copies sold), the first hip-hop album to do so. Two tracks (The Nosebleed Section and Dumb Enough) received places in the Triple J Hottest 100, 2003, at 9th and 44th respectively. The Nosebleed Section also came in at number 17 in the Triple J Hottest Hundred Of All Time, making it the highest ranked Australian song on the list, and the only hip-hop track to make the cut. LP The Hard Road also topped the Australian charts, another first for Australian Hip-Hop.


Aside from their own albums, they have featured on a number of highly respected compilation albums, including Obesecity and Culture of Kings Vol. 1 & 2, and have collaborated with most of the main players of the Australian hip hop scene including Koolism, Mass MC, Pegz, Muphin, Layla, Hyjak and Bonez.

They have played many large Australian music festivals, including the Big Day Out, Splendour in the Grass and Falls Festivals. They have received nominations for the Best Hip Hop Act in 2001 and 2002 at the 3D World Dance Music Awards, won the APRA award for best up-coming group as well as receiving number one positions in independent charts all around Australia.
