  2. OMg, this sounds unbelievably dope. If this is a sample of the album it could be one of his best…would be hard to top LWFC or Resurrection.

  9. (Common)
    Yo
    From North Carolina her grandmother would bring
    news that she had had a dream
    Her dreams always meant what they needed them to mean
    What made them real was the action in between
    She dreamt that Assata was free in they old house in Queens
    The fact that they always came true was the thing
    Assata had been convicted of a murder she couldna done
    Medical evidence shown she couldna shot the gun
    It’s time for her to see the sun from the other side
    Time for her daughter to be by her mother’s side
    Time for this Beautiful Woman to become soft again
    Time for her to breathe, and not be told how or when
    She untangled the chains and escaped the pain
    How she broke out of prison I could never explain
    And even to this day they try to get to her
    but she’s free with political asylum in Cuba.

    (Cee-Lo vocals)
    I’m thinkin’ of Assata, yeah.
    Listen to my Love, Assata, yeah.
    We’re molded from the same mud, Assata.
    We share the same Blood, Assata, yeah.
    Your Power and Pride, so Beautiful…
    May God bless your Soul.
    Your Power and Pride, so Beautiful…
    May God bless your Soul.
    Oooh.

  10. This is hip hop!
    There’s so much bullshit out there where I feel like rappers are just struggling, fumbling around, pulling bullshit out of their asshole just to make their way to the chorus.

  13. I also want to cosign Sicksiah.
    Be and Finding Forever are two albums that you don’t even have to like rap in order to appreciate.
    That’s why I respect Common and why people who talk shit about Common being washed up work me up so much.

  17. These are words of brother
    Achiever, leader of the globe
    free the souls of those in need
    I bleed the blood of the struggle
    Walking over troubled puddles
    the hustlers in my chest
    no hustle, no progress
    extremities of life in this process
    the birth of a son, the death of another
    with love I caress both Mothers
    and told them, “Who’s in control is the one that’s above us”
    I walk bread, money talks, and love stutters
    body language of a nation going through changes
    the young become dangerous
    pain is mended in to 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 you could have an early ____ rang us
    look at the future, it’s hard not to blame us
    we’re trying where the young die often
    do they end up in a coffin because we haven’t taught them?
    is it what we’re talking? we really ain’t walking
    huge hustlers faith, how much did it cost him?
    by myself on the same corner that we lost him
    real talking, in they ear like a walkman
    my thoughts spring around the corner to the world
    when I see him, I see my baby girl
    the Lord lives among us
    the younger hungers becomes a
    means to get it by anyways necessary
    under pressure
    children feel lesser
    but still up on the dresser
    kill them with aggressors
    but Destiny’s children survive as soldiers
    in front of buildings, they eyes look older
    hard to see blessings in a violent culture
    basic age weapons, silenced ultra
    this ain’t the way Langston Hughes wrote us
    so control is on the shoulders of
    we known as the aggressors to Oprah
    Cultivated to overcome ever since we came over the seas
    in a way you can see we determined
    souls keep burning, shawtys know to keep learning
    lessons in the life are like strips that we earning
    send , crisis we journeying
    like a thief in the night I write the beacons of light
    for those of us in dark allys and
    contras conquering
    even through the unseen I know God watching
    one King’s dream, he was able to Barack us
    one King’s dream, he was able to Barack us

    Believe!
    Believe!
    Believe!
