Common, Pete Rock - Fortunate lyrics

A água mais pura da fonte
A água mais pura da fonte
A água mais pura da fonte
A água mais pura da fonte

I'm fortunate to be alive
Can't explain how I got here, but we've arrived
The deliverance and diligence from which we strive
It's the feelin' it's no ceilin' is when we rise
Fortunate to have friends who don't synthesize
I keep good company — we enterprise
Had a strong gaze since infant eyes
I guess I can see the power in the prize
Incentivized by the streets identified
Other people's struggles, I don't minimize
Fortunate to be born and raised in the Chi
Salt-of-the-earth people with the bravest eye
They say, "Your guy is the truth" —
I wasn't raised to lie
Fortunate to be so qué será
Every day that I get up


I trace the sky
And draw with the most high
On the place that I am
And that's fortunate

A água mais pura da fonte
A água mais pura da fonte
A água mais pura da fonte
A água mais pura da fonte

Fortunate for the breath of life
And the breath
Of the Lord through Reverend Wright
Fortunate in my house ain't a desperate wife
I study life so I can test the mic
The laboratory of a rapper's story
From the alley to the allegory
I pour a rhyme into time, let it travel for me
The one with self
Is the biggest battle for me
Fortunate when I was twelve, I let rap allure me
Fortunate through the wilderness, I see the trees
In the forest, there's a lotta fallen MCs
Fortunate that the God shared the lessons
He returned to the essence —
I still feel his presence
Most of my brethren are from 87
Childhood friends —
I'm glad that I kept 'em
Fortunate for the wisdom of the elders
And my grandmother and mother's love
That never failed us
I'm fortunate

A água mais pura da fonte
A água mais pura da fonte
A água mais pura da fonte
A água mais pura da fonte

Fortunate
I was raised 'round my uncle Steve
And my uncle Charles —
They both told me, "Believe"
The seeds of a revolutionary; evolutions vary
Necessary to become fruits
And berries of our labor
Told ya, "Search for a savior"
Fortunate I had a chance to raise her
In the days on the unknown
I'm fortunate to come home
To blocks we fought, we swung on
Fortunate the Lord put me on a path
To use the microphone for a rod and a staff
Fortunate that my heart and the beat knocks
The Windy City street bop
I'm fortunate for Pete Rock (Ayy)
I'm fortunate
