[Intro: Minister Louis Farrakhan (sample)]

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



[Verse 1]

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'mma 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 'f**k em'

Until you get home, I'm the one you trust in



[Interlude]

I'm happy to be in any place

Where God's name is remembered



[Hook: Bilal]

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



[Verse 2]

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



[Hook: Bilal]

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

With God



[Outro]

To those of you who are unfamiliar with those words

They mean, in English, 'Peace, be unto you'
