(Go) She was a bad uh
The type at the club niggas would grab her
(Go) Fantasized when I had her
In the bathroom sweatin' with her ass up
(Go) The body of a dancer
We had chemistry 'cause she was a Cancer
Thought forever it would last for
But forever move faster, so I had to
(Go) Still I gotta pause
When I think about her in them draws
(Go) And uh, ooh, baby, she liked it raw and
Like rain when she came it poured
(Go) And like a car that I can't afford
I would want it then want some more, uhh
The positions our frames explored let me know
She was secure, back for more I wanna
(Go) Go, go, go, go, go and on the count of three
(Go) Go, go, go, go, go and on the count of three
(Go) Go, go, go, go, go, go
Uh, on the count of three, everybody run back to your fantasy, now

A new chapter she was after so I said let's
(Go) To a place that you wanna be, uh
Get what you want from her and me, uh
(Go) Free love I wanna see, uh
Hot sex in the third degree, uh

Rock steady and sturdily on

About
Genius Annotation
For the third single from Common’s 2005 album Be, Com enlists the help of his buddy Kanye and pop singer John Mayer.
Ever wonder how freaky Common was? Neither did we, but apparently he’s more than willing to tell us. From a club girl in the bathroom and lyrics reminiscent of a hokey R. Kelly jam to having a threesome with a preacher’s daughter and a girl of her choosing, Common lays it all on the table.
“Go!” was the most successful single off of Be, although it didn’t crack the Billboard Top 40.
The beat samples Linda Lewis‘ 1972 song “Old Smokey.”
