《G.O.D. (Gaining One’s Definition) Featuring Ce-Lo》歌词

[00:00:00] G O D - Common (凡夫俗子)
[00:00:17] After bein' 25 you know
[00:00:20] Just trying to survive in the world
[00:00:23] 'Bout to have a little boy or baby girl who knows
[00:00:28] Anyway just when you start getting' that little age
[00:00:30] And experience to you
[00:00:31] You start thinkin' about stuff
[00:00:32] Tryin' to make the right moves
[00:00:34] So bust it out this is what I was thinkin' check it
[00:00:37] Yo the education of the Lon-chicka-Lonnie Lynn
[00:00:40] Began began with time
[00:00:43] Bein' my bloodline is one with the divine
[00:00:46] In time brotha you will discover the light
[00:00:49] Some say that God is black and the devil's white
[00:00:52] Well the devil is wrong and God is what's right
[00:00:55] I fight with myself in the ring of doubt and fear
[00:00:58] The rain ain't gone but I can still see clear
[00:01:01] As a child given religion with no answer to why
[00:01:04] Just told believe in Jesus 'cuz for me he did die
[00:01:07] Curiosity killed the catechism
[00:01:10] Understanding and wisdom became the rhythm that I played to
[00:01:13] And became a slave to master self
[00:01:15] A rich man is one with knowledge
[00:01:17] Happiness and his health
[00:01:18] My mind had dealt with the books of Zen Tao the lessons
[00:01:21] Koran and the Bible to me they all vital
[00:01:25] And got truth within 'em gotta read them boys
[00:01:27] You just can't skim 'em different branches of belief
[00:01:30] But one root that stem 'em
[00:01:32] But people of the venom try to trim 'em
[00:01:34] And use religion as an emblem
[00:01:36] When it should be a natural way of life
[00:01:39] Who am I or they to say to whom you pray ain't right
[00:01:42] That's who got you doin' right and got you this far
[00:01:45] Whether you say "In Jesus name" or "Al hum du'Allah"
[00:01:48] Long as you know it's a bein' that's supreme to you
[00:01:51] You let that show towards others in the things you do
[00:01:53] 'Cuz when the trumpets blowin'
[00:01:55] 24 elders surround the throne
[00:01:57] Only 144 000 gon get home
[00:02:00] Only 144 000 gon get home
[00:02:02] Only 144 000 gon get it baby
[00:02:11] I've lived and I've learned
[00:02:13] I have taken and I've earned
[00:02:16] I have laughed I've cried
[00:02:19] I have failed and I have tried
[00:02:22] Sunshine pouring rain
[00:02:25] Found joy through all my pain
[00:02:28] I just wanna be happy with being me
[00:02:34] Let me voice my concern
[00:02:35] So many of my fellow brothers have given themselves a title
[00:02:38] That their actions didn't earn
[00:02:40] Our ignorance is in the same breath as our innocence
[00:02:42] Subconsciously seeking to find
[00:02:45] An impressionable mind to convince
[00:02:47] I've finally come to the realization
[00:02:48] Why black people in the worse place
[00:02:49] 'Cuz it's hard to correct yourself
[00:02:51] When you don't know
[00:02:51] Who you are in the first place
[00:02:53] So I try to find the clue in you
[00:02:55] But evidently white folks know more black history than we do
[00:02:58] Why're we bein' lied to
[00:02:59] I ain't know our history was purposely hidden
[00:03:01] Damn somethin' in me wanna know who I am
[00:03:04] So I began my search
[00:03:06] My journey started in church
[00:03:07] It gave my heartache relief
[00:03:08] When I started to understand belief
[00:03:10] Hustlin' was like a gift spent my share of time in the streets
[00:03:13] Taught me survival from this evil
[00:03:14] I'm just gonna have to deal with
[00:03:16] And I felt like a fool when I tried to learn it in school
[00:03:19] It almost seemed like a rehearsal when the only
[00:03:20] Science and math are universal
[00:03:22] Takin' elder advice read the Bible the Koran
[00:03:24] Searched scrolls from the Hebrew Israelites
[00:03:25] Hold on this ain't right Jesus wasn't white
[00:03:28] Some leads were granted with insight
[00:03:29] And it's all in the plan
[00:03:30] But it took me some time to overstand
[00:03:32] He still created with the imperfection of man
[00:03:33] So with followin' I disagree
[00:03:35] By no means have I forgotten or forgiven
[00:03:38] What's been done to me but
[00:03:39] I do know the devil ain't no white man
[00:03:41] The devil's a spiritual mind
[00:03:42] That's color blind there's evil white folk and evil niggas
[00:03:44] You gon surely find there's no positivity without negativity
[00:03:47] But one side you gonna have to choose
[00:03:49] Any chance to speak I refuse to misuse
[00:03:51] So how can you call yourself God
[00:03:52] When you let a worldly possession
[00:03:54] Become an obsession
[00:03:55] And the way you write your rhymes
[00:03:56] And can't follow your lesson
[00:03:57] If a seed's sown you make sure it's known
[00:03:59] You make sure it's grown
[00:04:01] If you God then save your own
[00:04:02] Don't mentally enslave your own
[00:04:03] If you God then save your own
[00:04:05] Don't mentally enslave your own
[00:04:06] If you God then save your own
[00:04:07] Don't mentally enslave your own
[00:04:09] Well I've lived and I've learned
[00:04:11] I've taken and I've earned
[00:04:14] I have laughed I have cried
[00:04:17] I failed and I have tried
[00:04:20] Sunshine pourin' rain
[00:04:22] I found joy through my pain
[00:04:26] Just wanna be happy bein' me bein' me
