It's been pushed in our face since we were young
They'll give you a pill, but don't swallow your tongue
And you never noticed coming straight at you,
Cause your peripheral blind is your closed mind view
You sleep with a gun in your right hand
And you know that your father is your number one man
You're raised on the grain they've been feeding inside of you

Common Ground, hold it down
Spread your wings and fly
There's an angel inside of you

Where's the logic on your political stand?
You set mousetraps for all your democrats
Tie your tongue on someone else's view
Save the aqueduct for the tasteless few
You know that your mother's your number one fan
So ask mother what's wrong with a colored friend
And the finger you pointed is coming right back at you

Common Ground, hold it down
Spread your wings and fly
There's an angel inside of you

Common Ground, hold it down
Spread your wings and fly
There's an angel coming for you

Common Ground, keep it down
Spread your wings and fly
There's an angel coming for you
