Victory

This is a victory song. when it plays it's like my mind is at the top step, running in a circle, and dancin with his and her arms up, just like in Rocky.

I want to be as free as the spirits of those who left
I'm talking Malcom,
Coltrane,
my man Yusef
Through death
through conception
New breath and resurrection
For moms,
new steps in her direction
In the right way
Told inside is where the fight lay
And everything a nigga do
may not be what he might say
Chicago nights stay,
stay on the mind
But I write many lives and
lay on these lines
Wave the signs of the times
Many say the grind's on the mind
Shorties blunted-eyed
and everyone wonderin' where I'm
Bush pushing lies,
killers immortalized
We got arms
but won't reach for the skies
Waiting for the Lord to rise
I look into my daughter's eyes
And realize that
I'ma learn through her
The Messiah,
might even return through her
If I'ma do it,
I gotta change the world through her
Furs and a Benz,
gramps wantin 'em
Demons and old friends,
pops they hauntin' him
The chosen one from the land of the frozen sun
When drunk nights get remembered more than
sober ones
Walk like warriors,
we were never told to run
Explored the world to return
to where my soul begun
Never looking back
or too far in front of me
The present is a gift
and I just wanna BE

- Common (song, Be)

If you've heard it you know where I'm commin from, but this song is beautiful art and soul inspiring. the beat starts, sounds like it's just a standing bass. it's a somewhat simple beat, but deep and gentle. Then it picks up and continues as a beautiful melody and once the rythem is established a synthesizer kicks in with a mellow electronic sound and it harmonizes (kik's it accapella) with the bass and goes through it's proccess, and then the beat get's another layer of harmony with a clear strong paino. Again following the initial beat of the bass, but with different timing, and this simple, harmonious beat is soooOOoOOoOOoOoo beautiful it almost murders me every time. . . .and just when you feel estatic Common jumps on ship and moves your being.. . ."I wanna as free as the spirits of those who left, I'm talkin Malcom, Coltrane, my man Yusef.. . . " oh, OH oh OH.... OH! !

This message is shiver shakin. The beat is Kanye. The flow unstoppable. This song feels like victory.. .. . and I just wanna BE!!
