(spoken word) you have to be familiar with the new Common CD to grasp this.



As a sit back and listen to Common Sense vibin on the realest of reality. I sit and wonder where my Common Sense went..
somewhere along the way it got lost...
Was it back my freshmen year when I couldn't juse BE myself and was livin for you, you and you.. and EvERY BO-DY else.

Or perhaps it was when I got lost in the mix of love and false love and He never planned to TESTIFY but always claimed to be... FAITHFUL to the end... (ha yeah right.)

Or Maybe it was back in the day when I was a teenager and tellin myself IT'S MY WORLD (PART ONE) and never looked foward to PART TWO.

Or maybe it was somewhere in between those times when all I wanted to do was GO! and on the count of 3 I run back to my fantasy....

Maybe I wasn't born with it like maybelline...and looked towards THE CORNER... for pieces of my intellect that got missin mysteriously

got so caught up in what THEY SAY.. couldn't even here what the spirit was trying to say.

But that's all different now since I got THE FOOD that I needed, no not the kind you be eatin' though

I finally know what LOVE IS.. enough to know a GOD fearing man when I see one and to love him with all that I have.

And as I continue my journey to CHI CITY.... to make a name for my self but only is his name... shall I do so

Hopefully Ya'll understand where I'm coming from ...
cuz I speaks from the heart and soul of me.. with COMMONE SENSE by side, in my head, in my life, I reach out and touch those who can grasp .... but only... for my REAL PEOPLE.

PEACE

Girl, that was good. I love spoken word. Especially en its tributed to a Chi City artist, that has been trynna get a start for a good minute. Just wait Kanye is going to bring more G.O.O.D. music. In all, I appreciate this dedication, as if it was for me.

I dont know if anyone other than a few people take the time to listen to Common's songs but his words are words of wisdom and they really make u think. He makes u explore the deeper part of u and ur mind and I love that. I love his song faithful, testify, and they say! John Legend is rite behind him n' u already know where Kayne West is! Im glad sumone can recognize good music when they hear it!
