Forever Begins Lyrics


Victory won in a world of Hennessey and guns
Too young for the marches but I remember these drums
To start reality of wars and battles we fought for ours
Caught in ghetto tragedyI talk to my aunt named Mattie Lee
And recognize the importance of family
Hand me a joint, good music and room to breathe
Those that doubt Com' will soon believeCan't judge the weave, my lady had one
I'm more like a fool for soul and passion
The price of gas rises, street life is pumpin' fast
Lives is I'm watch crashesAnd realize that we all survivors
No religion or race, whatever describe us
My guys do dirt, do dirt but never really talk about it
Forever begins just because I thought about itLivin' once again
We livin' then you go
Livin' then you go
Livin' then you go
Livin' then you goAshes and snowfalls, 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' runSooner or 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'Ghanastan goin' through the same thing
It trickles down at each other, we aim pain
I shoot for stars, peace and exclusive cars
Through the ride I learned to earn hardWatch gangstas turn God into Mr. War
No matter how much I elevate, I kiss the floor
It was in the van when she said Dilla was gone
That's when I knew we'd live forever through songLivin' once again
We livin' then you go
Livin' then you go
Livin' then you go
Livin' then you goLivin' once again
We livin' then you go
Livin' then you go
Livin' then you go
Livin' then you goLivin' when we livin' then you go
Livin' then you go
You go, you go
Then you go, you goOrigin is forever
Well, well, well, here 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's that say, what that say?
Oh they say "Just talk, don't sing"Son, I bet you feel like
You and I've been here forever
Thirty years old red eyes, beholdin' red eyes
I see my world's tears, yeah, origin is foreverEvery peak will have two valleys
Hopeful eyes in the comfort of true protection
And admiration of the child, that's forever
Forever is to strive the pace of endearment
Forever, forever is what I'd leave
My I self contribution, damn, what I'm gon' leave?Okay, I leave my one and only grain of spiritual sand
To the universal scales of humanity, all humanity
Forever is findin' a solution to a solution
Tsunamis, hurricanes, followin' the trails of the African slave shipsWar, war and more war
Floods, Columbine, global warming, earthquakes
Another somebody done me wrong, son
Virginia Tech, there's not a oh, what the 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, sip the ingredients of acknowledgment
Apology, amendment, atonement
We gonna work with the four A's here, forever part
Common good is forever, God's memory is forever

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr. (born March 13, 1972 in Chicago, Illinois), better known by his stage name Common (previously Common Sense), is a Grammy award winning rapper, author and actor known for lyrics that focus on love and spirituality. Signed to Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music, many people describe him as being a conscious hip hop artist who makes songs that send a message. He debuted in 1992 with the album Can I Borrow a Dollar? and maintained a significant underground following into the late 90s, after which he gained notable mainstream success through his work with the soulquarians.

As well as music, Common has worked as an actor, on the films 'Smokin' Aces' (as Sir Ivy) 'American Gangster' (as Turner Lucas) and 'Wanted'. He may also be seen in cameo roles in films such as 'Brown Sugar'.

His debut was the 1992 album Can I Borrow A Dollar, but he achieved little critical or commercial success until 1994's Resurrection, an instant classic. He produced several more albums, notably Like Water For Chocolate and the highly experimental Electric Circus, before releasing the Kanye West and J Dilla-produced Be in 2005, which was his first album to receive widespread mainstream appeal and radio playtime.

Common is considered a "cred" artist, which has lead him to collaborations with the likes of De La Soul, Jadakiss, T.i, Talib Kweli, The Roots, Kanye West, Lily Allen, Erykah Badu, and Fort Minor.

2007's Finding Forever was produced mainly by long-time collaborator, Kanye West.

Universal Mind Control is the 8th album from Chicago hip-hop artist Common.
