I arrived on the planet, never took the Southside for granted
Smoke a little, keep a high standard
The Roots are my nikkas so I gotta fly bandwith
Son of the sit-ins, you know who I stand with
Dude said I was a hero, I ain't nothing but a sandwich
A gluten-free one at that, close my eyes see my raps
My bio is feedback from what we need rap
On some Marshawn Lynch, let me run it back
And come with that new black spiritual
Every rap's a miracle, condition now critical
Game lack lyrical, we need black generals
Holy war, tap into you like Savion
But I'm a orator, the corduroy boy
Came the door-to-door name down the corridor of fame
I walk like an Egyptian on a mission to listen to conditions
Envision a vision of what we wishing
I've been commissioned to deprison the prism of your mind
Spit the wisdom of the one devine
Close encounter of the wonder kind, front a line
Shift the paradigm with a pair of rhymes
Style Bonnie Caylor, in the sweep with Caroline
Getting dressed up under pressure, Alabama shakes on Incense rising from the dresser, child of a fresher god
Influenced by the life of the former, Joanne Chesimard
Assata Shakur, I gotta do more
The light-skinned spook who got in the door
I gotta hit four, same thing Cassius Clay uses pottery for
I'm on a world tour with Muhammad the prophet, my man
And where we land the pyramids stand

Just finished listening to the album while destroying brehs in Smash 4 online( :blessed:) and.. man what a great album. Don't know if I'd put it over The Dreamer though, need to go through it a couple more times. Definitely better than Nobody, UMC, Electric Circus, etc. Be > Like Water > Ressurection > One Day > The Dreamer = Black America > Finding Forever > EC > Nobody > UMC

Karriem Riggins was a good get for producer I haven't heard Common sound this lively since finding forever might be due to the subject matter tho.
