Home (Feat. Bilal) - Common
A man who's genius
and freedoms and
Ability to communicate and
To talk and to touch chords
A man who has the ability
and the audacity
And the of God to stand up
to stand up
Heard the sound of the trumpets
the voice from the throne
Seen the twenty four elders
and I knew I was home
I was told to write songs
for the people
Take the original Hebrews
on an Exodus of Black Excellence
Tell them to invest in us
and make testaments
about each other
Or how we sisters
and brothers
Cover the land in corners
of poems and stone
Go hard with it
let em know you God with it
Even though I authored it
let no one margin it
And make it all about paper
or first weeks sales
Though this is from Heaven
give 'em verses from Hell
Those that fell off the path
bring them back to the Mass
The staff can be your microphone
Your name is Common
You was born to fight the norm
Take house niggas outta darkness
till they lights is on
I'm a put a hyphen on your name
Rapper actor activist
You the one that can reach
into the black abyss
Stars this asterix
show em what a classic is
Freedom riders need passengers
And your lyrics use scriptures
and passages
To make them rise like Lazarus
And resurrected again
they'll put disrespect
on your name
and respect it again
Every section you in
bless em and keep bussin'
If they don't like it
shake the dust
and say 'fuck em'
Until you get home
I'm the one you trust in
I'm happy to be in any place
Where God's name is remembered
Soon I will be gone
with the trouble of this world
Trouble of this world
trouble of this world
Soon I will be gone
with the trouble of this world
Going home to live
Going home to live
Going home to live
Go into the wilderness
like Mussa on a pilgrimage
Streets are villages
speak with diligence
And authority to fake God
of pharisees and sadducees
Give them that Gardley free
from the Black Odyssey
Yo pardon me
you the God bodily
Functioning on earth
as a part of me
That's why I gave you artistry
Go into the hoods
with the shooters
and the strippers
Forget the New World Order
New Jerusalem is with us
Tell sisters they earths
and goddesses
If they got bottom
don't get caught
in a bottomless
Pit there's a lot of us fit
for the kingdom is near
You can tell by the wars
and how the seasons appear
You'll appear in circles
in Hollywood
I birthed you
And Chicago you know
how to parlay good
You'll get Oscars
Emmys and Grammys
Give those to your family
don't get caught up in the vanity
Or the world's insanity
Soon I will be gone
with the trouble of this world
Trouble of this world
trouble of this world
Soon I will be gone
with the trouble of this world
Going home to live
Going home to live
Going home to live
With God
To those of you who are unfamiliar
with those words
They mean in English
Peace be unto you
