[1st Verse]

Victory won, in a world of hennessy and guns

Too young for the marches but I remember these drums

The stark reality of wars and battles, we

Fought for ours, parted in ghetto tragedy

I talk to my aunt named Mattie Lee

And recognized importance of family

Hand me a joint, good music, and room to breathe

Those that doubt Com' will soon believe

Can't judge the weave, my lady had one

I'm more like a fool for soul and passion

The price of gas rises

And street life is pumpin' fast lives, and

I watched Crash and realized that we're all survivors

No religion or race could ever describe us

My guys do dirt, move dirt, but never really talk about it

Forever begins, jus' because I thought about it



[Chorus]

Living

Once Again

We...



Living

Then you're gone [x4]



[2nd Verse]

Ashes and snow falls, I wonder when the roll call for heaven gon' come

Forever gon' come

It's a cold world and I can never go numb

Look fear in the eyes, say I'm never gon' run

Sooner than later, I know the cheddar gon' come

For now I write the world letters to better the young

On tree by jury, together we hung

Now we let our chains hang, and gang bang to maintain

Afghanistan goin' through the same thing

It trickles down, at each other we aim pain

I shoot for stars, peace and exclusive cars

Through the wire I learned to earn hard

Watched gangstas turn God in the midst of War

No matter how much I elevate, I kiss the floor

It was in the wind when she said Dilla was gone

That's when I knew we lived forever through song



[Chorus x2]



[Common's Father]

Origin is forever

Well, well well,

We are back in the studio again

Look at that

Hey, I don't need no cue cards

They got the engineers holdin' up cue cards

What that say

Oh they say; "just talk, don't sing"

Son, I bet you feel like you and I've been here

Forever

30 years old red eyes,

Beholding red eyes

I see my world's tears

Yeah, origin is forever

Every peak will have 2 values

Hopeful eyes in the comfort

Of true protection and admiration of the chime

That's forever

Forever is to strive

A place of endearment

Forever,

Forever is what I leave

My I-self contribution

Damn, what I'm gon' leave?

Ok...

I leave my one and only grain of spiritual sand



To universal scales of humanity

All humanity

Forever is finding a solution to a solution

Tsunamis, Hurricanes

Following the trails of the African slave ships

War, War, and more War

Floods, Columbine, Global Warming, Earthquakes

Another somebody's done me wrong, son

Virginia Tech, there's not a hole but to Heck

We're still, did you place your one grain of spiritual sand forever?

Confusion need a solution

Blend and stir, stir and blend the part of humanity

Sift the ingredients of acknowledgment, apology, amendment, atone

We gonna work with the four A's here

Forever part

Common good is forever

God's memory is forever....
