G O D - Common (凡夫俗子)[00:00:00]

After bein' 25 you know [00:00:17]

Just trying to survive in the world[00:00:20]

'Bout to have a little boy or baby girl who knows [00:00:23]

Anyway just when you start getting' that little age[00:00:28]

And experience to you[00:00:30]

You start thinkin' about stuff [00:00:31]

Tryin' to make the right moves[00:00:32]

So bust it out this is what I was thinkin' check it[00:00:34]

Yo the education of the Lon-chicka-Lonnie Lynn[00:00:37]

Began began with time[00:00:40]

Bein' my bloodline is one with the divine[00:00:43]

In time brotha you will discover the light[00:00:46]

Some say that God is black and the devil's white[00:00:49]

Well the devil is wrong and God is what's right[00:00:52]

I fight with myself in the ring of doubt and fear[00:00:55]

The rain ain't gone but I can still see clear[00:00:58]

As a child given religion with no answer to why[00:01:01]

Just told believe in Jesus 'cuz for me he did die[00:01:04]

Curiosity killed the catechism[00:01:07]

Understanding and wisdom became the rhythm that I played to[00:01:10]

And became a slave to master self[00:01:13]

A rich man is one with knowledge [00:01:15]

Happiness and his health[00:01:17]

My mind had dealt with the books of Zen Tao the lessons[00:01:18]

Koran and the Bible to me they all vital[00:01:21]

And got truth within 'em gotta read them boys[00:01:25]

You just can't skim 'em different branches of belief[00:01:27]

But one root that stem 'em[00:01:30]

But people of the venom try to trim 'em[00:01:32]

And use religion as an emblem[00:01:34]

When it should be a natural way of life[00:01:36]

Who am I or they to say to whom you pray ain't right[00:01:39]

That's who got you doin' right and got you this far[00:01:42]

Whether you say "In Jesus name" or "Al hum du'Allah"[00:01:45]

Long as you know it's a bein' that's supreme to you[00:01:48]

You let that show towards others in the things you do[00:01:51]

'Cuz when the trumpets blowin' [00:01:53]

24 elders surround the throne[00:01:55]

Only 144 000 gon get home[00:01:57]

Only 144 000 gon get home[00:02:00]

Only 144 000 gon get it baby[00:02:02]

I've lived and I've learned[00:02:11]

I have taken and I've earned[00:02:13]

I have laughed I've cried[00:02:16]

I have failed and I have tried[00:02:19]

Sunshine pouring rain[00:02:22]

Found joy through all my pain[00:02:25]

I just wanna be happy with being me[00:02:28]

Let me voice my concern[00:02:34]

So many of my fellow brothers have given themselves a title[00:02:35]

That their actions didn't earn[00:02:38]

Our ignorance is in the same breath as our innocence[00:02:40]

Subconsciously seeking to find[00:02:42]

An impressionable mind to convince[00:02:45]

I've finally come to the realization[00:02:47]

Why black people in the worse place[00:02:48]

'Cuz it's hard to correct yourself[00:02:49]

When you don't know[00:02:51]

Who you are in the first place [00:02:51]

So I try to find the clue in you[00:02:53]

But evidently white folks know more black history than we do[00:02:55]

Why're we bein' lied to [00:02:58]

I ain't know our history was purposely hidden[00:02:59]

Damn somethin' in me wanna know who I am[00:03:01]

So I began my search [00:03:04]

My journey started in church[00:03:06]

It gave my heartache relief[00:03:07]

When I started to understand belief[00:03:08]

Hustlin' was like a gift spent my share of time in the streets[00:03:10]

Taught me survival from this evil[00:03:13]

I'm just gonna have to deal with[00:03:14]

And I felt like a fool when I tried to learn it in school[00:03:16]

It almost seemed like a rehearsal when the only[00:03:19]

Science and math are universal[00:03:20]

Takin' elder advice read the Bible the Koran[00:03:22]

Searched scrolls from the Hebrew Israelites[00:03:24]

Hold on this ain't right Jesus wasn't white[00:03:25]

Some leads were granted with insight[00:03:28]

And it's all in the plan [00:03:29]

But it took me some time to overstand[00:03:30]

He still created with the imperfection of man[00:03:32]

So with followin' I disagree[00:03:33]

By no means have I forgotten or forgiven[00:03:35]

What's been done to me but[00:03:38]

I do know the devil ain't no white man [00:03:39]

The devil's a spiritual mind[00:03:41]

That's color blind there's evil white folk and evil niggas[00:03:42]

You gon surely find there's no positivity without negativity[00:03:44]

But one side you gonna have to choose[00:03:47]

Any chance to speak I refuse to misuse[00:03:49]

So how can you call yourself God[00:03:51]

When you let a worldly possession[00:03:52]

Become an obsession[00:03:54]

And the way you write your rhymes[00:03:55]

And can't follow your lesson[00:03:56]

If a seed's sown you make sure it's known[00:03:57]

You make sure it's grown[00:03:59]

If you God then save your own [00:04:01]

Don't mentally enslave your own[00:04:02]

If you God then save your own [00:04:03]

Don't mentally enslave your own[00:04:05]

If you God then save your own [00:04:06]

Don't mentally enslave your own[00:04:07]

Well I've lived and I've learned[00:04:09]

I've taken and I've earned[00:04:11]

I have laughed I have cried[00:04:14]

I failed and I have tried[00:04:17]

Sunshine pourin' rain[00:04:20]

I found joy through my pain[00:04:22]

Just wanna be happy bein' me bein' me[00:04:26]
