The Believer - Common (凡夫俗子)/John Legend (约翰·传奇)[00:00:00]
Written by:Common/Derek Dudley/Mike Chavez/No I.D.[00:00:00]
I believe in the light[00:00:00]
That shines and will never die[00:00:03]
Oh I believe the fire you burns[00:00:09]
We stay alive[00:00:13]
They will talk about us[00:00:17]
Like they talked about[00:00:21]
The kings before us[00:00:23]
They[00:00:26]
These are the words of a believer[00:00:27]
Achiever leader of the globe[00:00:29]
Feeding souls of those in need[00:00:30]
I bleed the blood of the struggle[00:00:32]
Walking over troubled puddles[00:00:33]
Hustles in my chest[00:00:34]
No hustle no progress[00:00:36]
Extremities of life and it's process[00:00:37]
Birth of a son death of another[00:00:39]
With love I can rest both mothers[00:00:41]
And told 'em who's in control[00:00:43]
Is the one that's above us[00:00:44]
I walk where money talks[00:00:46]
And love stutters[00:00:47]
Body language of a nation[00:00:48]
Going through changes[00:00:49]
The young become dangerous[00:00:50]
Pain gets spent into anger[00:00:51]
Anger gets sent through the chamber[00:00:53]
It's tough when your own[00:00:55]
Look like strangers[00:00:56]
We are the sons of gangsters[00:00:57]
And stone rangers[00:00:58]
If he could how would[00:00:59]
Ernie barnes paint us[00:01:00]
Look at the picture[00:01:02]
Hard not to blame us[00:01:02]
But time forgives and the chi[00:01:04]
Where the young die often[00:01:05]
Do they end up in a coffin[00:01:07]
Because we haven't taught them[00:01:08]
Is it what we talking[00:01:10]
We really aint walking[00:01:11]
Dudes hustlers pay[00:01:12]
How much did it cost 'em[00:01:13]
Find myself on the same[00:01:14]
Corner that we lost 'em[00:01:15]
Real talking[00:01:17]
In they ear like a walkman[00:01:17]
Thoughts spin around[00:01:19]
The corner to the world[00:01:20]
When I see them[00:01:21]
I see my baby girl[00:01:22]
Believe[00:01:23]
I believe in the light[00:01:24]
That shines and will never die[00:01:27]
Oh I believe the fire you burns[00:01:33]
We stay alive[00:01:37]
They will talk about us[00:01:41]
Like they talked about[00:01:45]
The kings before us[00:01:47]
They[00:01:50]
The lord lives among us[00:01:51]
The young uns hunger[00:01:52]
Become a means to get it[00:01:54]
By any means necessary[00:01:55]
Under pressure[00:01:56]
Children feeling lesser[00:01:57]
With the steel up on the dresser[00:01:58]
Killin' will aggressors[00:02:00]
Destiny's children[00:02:01]
Survivors soldiers[00:02:02]
In front of buildings they eyes look older[00:02:03]
Hard to see blessings[00:02:05]
In the violent culture[00:02:06]
Face against weapons sirens holsters[00:02:08]
That aint the way[00:02:10]
That langston hughes wrote us[00:02:11]
Soul controllers on the[00:02:12]
Shoulders of moses and noah[00:02:13]
We go from being[00:02:15]
Oppressors to oprah[00:02:15]
Cultivated to overcome[00:02:17]
Ever since we came overseas[00:02:18]
Today and the way[00:02:19]
That you can see we determined[00:02:20]
Solar keeps burning[00:02:22]
Shawty's know to keep learning[00:02:23]
Lesson's in our life[00:02:24]
But life stripes[00:02:25]
That we earning[00:02:26]
Took raps advice[00:02:26]
That christ is returning[00:02:27]
Like a thief in the night[00:02:28]
I write the beacons of light[00:02:30]
For those of us[00:02:31]
In dark alleys and parched valleys[00:02:32]
Street kids spark rallies[00:02:33]
Of the conscience conquerors of a contest[00:02:34]
That seems beyond us[00:02:37]
Even through the unseen[00:02:38]
I know that god watches[00:02:39]
From one king's dream[00:02:40]
He was able to barack us[00:02:41]
The prophets nothing can stop us[00:02:44]
I believe in the light[00:02:48]
That shines and will never die[00:02:51]
Oh I believe the fire you burns[00:02:56]
We stay alive[00:03:01]
They will talk about us[00:03:05]
Like they talked about[00:03:09]
The kings before us[00:03:10]
They will talk about us[00:03:14]
I know I know I know[00:03:17]
Our dreams won't turn to dust[00:03:19]
They will talk about us[00:03:23]
I know I know I know[00:03:27]
Our dreams won't turn to dust[00:03:28]
They will talk about us[00:03:32]
I know I know I know[00:03:36]
Our dreams won't turn to dust[00:03:38]
They[00:03:42]
