[00:04.992] The revolution will not be televised
[00:08.450] The revolution is here
[00:12.667] Yeah, it's Common Sense, with DJ Premier
[00:19.666] We gonna help y'all see clear
[00:23.576] It's real hip-hop music, from the soul, y'all
[00:26.969] Yeah, check it, yo
[00:30.504] The perseverence of a rebel I drop heavier levels
[00:33.220] It's unseen or heard, a king with words
[00:35.498] Can't knock the hustle, but I've seen street dreams deferred
[00:37.894] Dark spots in my mind where the scene occured
[00:40.588] Some say I'm too deep, I'm in too deep to sleep
[00:43.057] Through me, Muhammad will forever speak
[00:45.791] Greet brothers with handshakes on ghetto landscapes
[00:48.424] Where a man is determined by how much a man make
[00:50.745] Cop Cognacs and spit old raps with young cats
[00:53.476] With cigarettes in their ear, niggerish they appear
[00:56.005] Under the Fubu is a guru, that's untapped
[00:58.716] Want to be in the rap race but ain't ran one lap
[01:00.864] Ran so far from the streets that you can't come back
[01:03.358] You tripping with nowhere to unpack, forgot that
[01:06.215] "This is rap for real, something you feel"
[01:11.180] "And you know, yes you know"
[01:13.936] rap for real, something you feel
[01:16.375] "And you know, yes you know"
[01:19.355] rap for real, something you feel
[01:21.409] "Heeeeyyyy, heeeeeyyyy" This is rap for real
[01:26.274] "And you know, yes you know"  "Rap for the black people"
[01:31.318] In front of two-inch glass and Arabs I order fries
[01:34.176] Inspiration when I write, I see my daughter's eyes
[01:36.741] I'm the truth, across the table from corporate lies
[01:39.287] Immortalized by the realness I bring to it
[01:41.503] If revolution had a movie I'd be theme music
[01:44.113] My music, you either fight, ****, or dream to it
[01:46.615] My life is one big rhyme, I try to scheme through it
[01:49.153] Through my shell, never knew what the divine would bring to it
[01:51.772] I'd be lying if I said I didn't want millions
[01:54.240] More than money saved, I wanna save children
[01:56.827] Dealing with alcoholism and afrocentricity
[01:59.513] A complex man drawn off of simplicity
[02:02.219] Reality is frisking me
[02:03.495] This industry will make you lose intensity
[02:06.035] The Common Sense in me remembers the basement
[02:08.724] I'm Morpheus in this hip-hop Matrix, exposing fake ****
[02:12.289] "And you know, yes you know" "This is rap for real, something you feel"
[02:17.237] "And you know, yes you know" This is rap for real
[02:22.111] "Heeeeyyyy, heeeeeyyyy" This is rap for real
[02:27.358] "And you know, yes you know"  This is rap for real
[02:32.220] Somedays I take the L to gel with the real world
[02:35.192] Got on at 87th, sat by this little girl
[02:37.653] She recited raps, I forgot where they was from
[02:40.264] In 'em, she was saying how she make brothers cum
[02:42.849] I start thinking, how many souls hip-hop has affected
[02:45.137] How many dead folks this art resurrected
[02:47.695] How many nations this culture connected
[02:50.388] Who am I to judge one's perspective?
[02:52.622] Though some of that **** y'all bop to it, I ain't relating
[02:55.487] If I don't like it, I don't like it, that don't mean that I'm hating
[02:57.826] I just want to innovate and stimulate minds
[03:00.554] Travel the world and penetrate the times
[03:03.121] Escape through rhythms in search of peace and wisdom
[03:05.604] Raps are smoke signals letting the streets know I'm with 'em
[03:08.122] For now I appreciate this moment in time
[03:10.560] Ball players and actors be knowing my rhymes, it's like
[03:13.321] "And you know, yes you know" "This is rap for real, something you feel"
[03:18.192] "And you know, yes you know" This is rap for real, something you feel
[03:23.297] "Heeeeyyyy, heeeeeyyyy" This is rap for real
[03:28.651] "And you know, yes you know"  This is rap for the black people
[03:33.211] "And you know, yes you know" This is rap for real
[03:38.923] "And you know, yes you know" This is rap for real, something you feel
[03:43.936] "Heeeeyyyy, heeeeeyyyy" This is rap for real
[03:49.386] "And you know, yes you know" This is rap for real, something you feel
[03:55.250] And you know...
