COMMON lyrics : "Forever Begins"

[1st Verse]
Victory won, in a world of hennessy and guns
Too young for the marches but I remember these drums

The stark reality of wars and battles, we
Fought for ours, parted in ghetto tragedy
I talk to my aunt named Mattie Lee

And recognized importance of family
Hand me a joint, good music, and room to breathe
Those that doubt Com' will soon believe

Can't judge the weave, my lady had one
I'm more like a fool for soul and passion
The price of gas rises

And street life is pumpin' fast lives, and
I watched Crash and realized that we're all survivors
No religion or race could ever describe us

My guys do dirt, move dirt, but never really talk about it
Forever begins, jus' because I thought about it


[Chorus]
Living
Once Again

We...

Living

Then you're gone [x4]

[2nd Verse]

Ashes and snow falls, I wonder when the roll call for heaven gon' come
Forever gon' come
It's a cold world and I can never go numb

Look fear in the eyes, say I'm never gon' run
Sooner than later, I know the cheddar gon' come
For now I write the world letters to better the young

On tree by jury, together we hung
Now we let our chains hang, and gang bang to maintain
Afghanistan goin' through the same thing

It trickles down, at each other we aim pain
I shoot for stars, peace and exclusive cars
Through the wire I learned to earn hard

Watched gangstas turn God in the midst of War
No matter how much I elevate, I kiss the floor
It was in the wind when she said Dilla was gone

That's when I knew we lived forever through song

[Chorus x2]


[Common's Father]
Origin is forever

Well, well well,
We are back in the studio again
Look at that

Hey, I don't need no cue cards
They got the engineers holdin' up cue cards
What that say

Oh they say; "just talk, don't sing"
Son, I bet you feel like you and I've been here
Forever

30 years old red eyes,
Beholding red eyes
I see my world's tears

Yeah, origin is forever
Every peak will have 2 values
Hopeful eyes in the comfort

Of true protection and admiration of the chime
That's forever
Forever is to strive

A place of endearment
Forever,
Forever is what I leave

My I-self contribution
Damn, what I'm gon' leave?
Ok...

I leave my one and only grain of spiritual sand

To universal scales of humanity

All humanity
Forever is finding a solution to a solution
Tsunamis, Hurricanes
Following the trails of the African slave ships
War, War, and more War

Floods, Columbine, Global Warming, Earthquakes
Another somebody's done me wrong, son
Virginia Tech, there's not a hole but to Heck
We're still, did you place your one grain of spiritual sand forever?
Confusion need a solution

Blend and stir, stir and blend the part of humanity
Sift the ingredients of acknowledgment, apology, amendment, atone
We gonna work with the four A's here
Forever part
Common good is forever

God's memory is forever....
