Common - Pops Belief lyrics

rate me

[Pops]

Yeah, yeah, bring it on

Uh huh, with the ya ya, yeah

Just sitting around kicking it a little bit

I thought we would record something tonight

And I do want to dedicate it to two very outstanding people

I live the spirit of

Gentlemen Crispus Attucks and Mr. Marcus Garvey

Thank you so much

The Believer

If I were a believer, I believe I would believe in the beginning

Everybody's beginning

Mine, that my very first ancestors were front row and present

When God stepped to the mic

I believe from the creation of the Garden of Eden

The separation of the tribes

Our long marches across the desert

Being Yacub's kids

For instincts born in caves of ice

All, each and every one, the souls of one God

Granted earthly existence to allow each to earn

The blessing of transcending, time-traveling throughout the universe

With the blessings and well-wishes of my fathers, prophets of my own

No search, no fear no mysteries

We inherit the power to turn nightmares into dreams

For those of us who come from less than enviable circumstances

Dreams, good dreams, sweet dreams, dreams come true

Truthful dreams, truthful dreams become life

Life becomes belief, belief becomes live!

Live the life you believe

The American dream, the black American dream, the universal dream

For the sake of the unwritten laws of humanity, I believe in God

I believe in my ancestors, I believe in my offsprings

I believe in Dr. Savior, I believe we must stop Willie Lynch'n each other

I believe in the truth, truth

See you next lifetime
