Common featuring q-tip
6
Yo, we all got different things that we got to deal with. we always are
7
Trying
8
To put the blame on something else rather than sometimes looking at
9
Ourselves, recognizing a lot of the stuff that happens, sometimes it has to do
10
With other things...but if we look within ourselves, we could prevent a lot of
11
This nonsense sometimes, y'know. it's about
12
Relating back to the essence y'know what i'm sayin', where it all stems from.
13
I'm-a do my
14
Thing over this drum, like a native tongue.
15
Verse one q-tip:
16
Do what you will, if you feel that your steeze is real
17
Complicated with the skills over reel to reel
18
Brown skin is what i feel, my mind and body's appeal
19
Is to the no-frill mills, who hear the beats to chill
20
Constantly, i'm hearing black americans just sneering
21
Looking for a leader who can fill us up with ether
22
Hitting us up with great emotional chat
23
About the fact
24
That the black
25
Is constantly held back
26
Like 50 tracks back in a relay race
27
And the white team's ahead
28
So let's keep up the pace
29
And i be needing something that could feed my logical taste
30
At the end of the race is there a paradise place?
31
Yo, we can't get involved in what the next man is doing
32
Material gain we put too much in persuing
33
"yo duke, i need this dope so we can step to this party"
34
But we can all mardi grati
35
Minus that shit in our body
36
"what that got to do with that"
37
'cause kid that's the essence,
38
Your physical presence
39
Embodies every lesson
40
You can't run the rolls royce if the engine is busted.
41
Can't even life the knife to cut the mustard.
42
What we need to do first
43
Now listen to this verse
44
Let's concentrate on our spiritual plate.
45
Recognize your existence in this vast blue space
46
From a tiny cloud of blood
47
To the human beings with taste, sight, touch, smell
48
And sound
49
Let's deem it profound!
50
And prioritize this cause it was allah's wish
51
"allah? i'm god"
52
"no i ddon't believe that. that's a mystery"
53
"if god is so good why does shit be happening to me?"
54
There's divinity within
55
Because we come from the divine
56
A force that's not seen but yo we feel it every time
57
When the wind blows, and the earth turns,
58
And the rain drops, and the babies cry
59
And the birds fly, and the grounds quake,
60
And the stars gleam, yo
61
So many things are evidence of its existence
62
What we need to do is link it with persistence,
63
Hear me out, yo
64
Once we recognize that, we can move ahead
65
Native tongues, common sense yo he's hip-hop bred...
66
Common:
67
From the spiritual world my former life has developed
68
First person i lost close to me was stella
69
Some of my mellows
70
Lost their mothers and their brothers
71
For them i feel empathy
72
But i ain't pouring out fuckin' hennessee
73
I pour my heart out when i see dot out on the deck
74
Knowing two weeks ago he slapped-boxed with death
75
I hear of niggas dying in the wind and on the news
76
But when it's somebody you know it hits you
77
And emotions get bruised
78
I ain't been in your shoes,
79
I won't judge you for knocking
80
Because the spirit of the ghetto says "you gotta!"
81
They snatch you again from rock flippin'
82
Give back into the neighborhood, you better start kickin'
83
Stickin' stores
84
On the strip
85
I'm tired of arabs giving me my change back
86
Devil bomb my yesterday
87
My tomorrow he never gave back
88
I lay back, looking at the ceiling
89
Wondering what can i do
90
So my homie won't have to be dealing
91
Not cause you serving and i'm rapping i'm better
92
Just different pieces to the puzzle of black life
93
That we gotta put together, to better ourselves
94
Cause families we gotta raise
95
No matter how long the money
96
Shorter become the days
97
Men become like women
98
And no difference in the season
99
If you got popped five times
100
You breathing for a reason
101
Let's put this five, ten year come-up plan in progression
102
Before we count our papers
103
Count our blessings
