[Common - Pops Belief lyrics]
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 sebi, i believe we must stop
Willie Lynch'n each other
I believe in the truth, truth
See you next lifetime
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

Life becomes belief, belief becomes live!
