COMMON lyrics : "The Believer"

[John legend - Hook]
I believe in the light that shines and will never die
Oh I believe the fire burns, we stay alive

They will talk about us
Like they talked about the kings before us
They will talk about us


[Common - Verse 1]
These are the words of a believer, achiever, leader of the globe

Feeding souls of those in need
I bleed the blood of the struggle
Walking over troubled puddles

Hustles in my chest, no hustle no progress
Extremities of life and it's process
Birth of a son, death of another

With love I can rest both mothers
And told 'em, who's in control is the one thats above us
I walk where money talks and love stutters

Body language of a nation going through changes
The young become dangerous, pain gets spent into anger
Anger gets sent through the chamber

It's tough when your own look like strangers
We are the sons of gangsters and stone rangers
If he could how would Ernie Barnes paint us

Look at the picture, hard not to blame us
But time forgives and the Chi where the young die often
Do they end up in a coffin because we haven't taught them?

Is it what we talking we really aint walking
Dudes, hustlers pay, how much did it cost 'em?
Find myself on the same corner that we lost 'em

Real talking, in they ear like a walkman
Thoughts spin around the corner to the World
When I see them, I see my baby girl

Believe

[John legend - Hook]

I believe in the light that shines and will never die
Oh I believe the fire burns, we stay alive
They will talk about us

Like they talked about the kings before us
They will talk about us


[Common - Verse 2]
The lord lives among us
The young uns hunger become a means to get it

By any means necessary, under pressure
Children feeling lesser, with the steel up on the dresser
Killin' will aggressors, destiny's children

Survivors, soldiers, in front of buildings they eyes look older
Hard to see blessings in the violent culture
Face against weapons, sirens, holsters

That aint the way that Langston Hughes wrote us
Soul controllers on the shoulders of Moses and Noah
We go from being oppressors to Oprah

Cultivated to overcome ever since we came overseas
Today and the way that you can see we determined
Solar keeps burning, shawty's know to keep learning

Lesson's in our life, but life stripes that we earning
Took raps advice that Christ is returning
Like a thief in the night, I write the beacons of light

For those of us in dark alleys and parched valleys
Street kids spark rallies of the conscience conquerors of a contest
That seems beyond us, even through the unseen, I know that God watches

From one King's dream he was able to Barack us
The prophets, nothing can stop us
Believe


[John legend - Hook]
I believe in the light that shines and will never die

Oh I believe the fire burns, we stay alive
They will talk about us
Like they talked about the kings before us

They will talk about us

I know I know I know our dreams won't turn to dust

They will talk about us
I know I know I know our dreams won't turn to dust
They will talk about us
I know I know I know our dreams won't turn to dust
They will talk about us
