Common

[Common]
Victory won
in a world of Henessey and guns
too young for the marches
but I remember these drums
to start reality
wars and battles
we fought for ours
caught in ghetto tragedy
I talk to my aunt named Mattie Lee
and recognize the importance of family
hand me the 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
street life is pumpin' fast
lives is
I'm watch crash
and realize that we all survivors
no religion or race
whatever describe us
My guys do dirt do dirt
but never really talk about it
Forever begins
just because I thought about it
[Chorus: repeat 4X]
Living
Once Again
We
Living
Then you go
[Common]
Ashes and snowfalls
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 never gon run
sooner or 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
ghanastan goin' through the same thing
It trickles down
at each other we aim pain
