Текст песни Unfamiliar - Commentary - Common

Unfamiliar, is a song that
It's you know, we, the beat already was just fresh to me
It was really fresh and PJ just, we were sittin' down
And we were, it was a lot going on in the studio
But she came up with this hook like really quick
And just went in and just sang it

And I was like, okay, well, I was like man, I don't wanna do
Another like just typical, like I didn't want the love song
Feel like Lovestar, 'cause I already have that
And I'm real like, I'm real picky about the album having
Like many different colors to it
Like I don't want songs to sound the same

Even if they create a certain feelin', and you get a
You put on a album and you get a vibe to it
It's still within that vibe I wanted it to be like
You get this, this song makes you feel this way

So Unfamiliar had to make you feel a different aspect of what
Relationship, love is and because she did
Naturally start singing about somehting
Affecting the heart that was unfamiliar

But I approached it like the way I heard really dope MCs' approach
Love songs like a Eric B. and Rakim
Did a love song before there was this
I wanna know what's on your mind and it was like
He didn't, he didn't like to be easy on the raps and still like
Really, like real powerful rhymes, real strong patterns and everything

So I just wanted to do, do that like
Trying to think of other love songs
Like Poetic Justice would Kendrick and Drake would
Kendrick did on that too he just rhyming and cast on
Like he didn't like, ah, let me do a love song
So that's how I approached Unfamiliar

I was more like I'm about to rhyme on this jpint
It's just and the, and the aspects of relationship and love will come out
Because it is something that I could talk about too as a MC
And as a man
