Common — JImi Was a Rock Star

[Verse 1: Erykah Badu & Common] Everyone hides their faces Behind a mask they wear Jimi was a rock star Searching for that magic place That he could touch in the sky Just to get his people high [Verse 2: Erykah Badu & Common] Life is so colorful Reds, blues and dreams Jimi lives in a purple haze In a psychedelic maze Playing the streets like an instrument Pulling strings wherever he went Angel sent from the sky Just to get his people high [Bridge: Erykah Badu & Common] Women all around Fast cars and sound And freedom he was bound Couldn't see the ground Jimi, come out why don't you set me free? (set me free) [Verse 3: Erykah Badu & Common] So high, born to fly Getting high off his own supply With the most highs of the sky Everybody follows the same lord Choosing his light to guide the way You do, but who do you choose? Some try things but few die so young Something among Jimi was stung Everyone hides their faces Behind a mask they wear [Outro: Erykah Badu] (Jimi, come out why don't you set me free?) [Repeat until fade out]
