Windows Lyrics


[hook]
if your eyes are the window to your soul
open eyes when you're cold
if your dreams keep you warm in night
baby just keep 'em closed
if your eyes are the window
i can sneak in at night
in your eyes i can see your soul
staring back into mine[verse 1]
she was a beautiful rose
from the concrete and heat she grows
in the dark room her life was exposed
her picture of men, we walk on all fours
heart opened and heart closed
every now and then she sparkles
you can tell she was hurt by the words that she chose
i'm thinking like lauryn, a rose is still a rose
even when the door close, there grows a new one

i told her it's some good men, she asked me if i knew one
her daddy left a hole because she never really knew him
ok sometimes from commitment, we do them
rocking lou vuitton, said she focused on the christian
i'm speaking to her trying to enhance her vision
but not to be married with kids she was wishing
shhh, 'til your soul just listen[hook][verse 2]
she said daddy take me ice-skating
looking at the rear-view, life's waiting for her
gotta be there to support her
can't really wait for a court order
she got the type of aura that's fun and vibrant
a lot of love inside, got to help guide it
daddy will protect it, god will provide it
we all will be there so your soul ain't divided
man, how quick she grows
looking like her momma but she got my toes
i suppose it's the age that she really really need me
a lot of girls without, they become needy
"c'mon dad, i'm too old for the back seat
can you come and get me, are you coming to my track meet?"
as she begins the race of life and love i told her
"i can't run it for ya, but god know's i'mma coach ya"

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
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 the films 'Smokin' Aces' (as Sir Ivy) 'American Gangster' (as Turner Lucas) and 'Wanted'. 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.

2007's Finding Forever was produced mainly by long-time collaborator, Kanye West.

Universal Mind Control is the 8th album from Chicago hip-hop artist Common.
