Common - Joy And Peace Lyrics






[Intro:]
For his goodness and for his wonderful works
Unto the children of men
If my people will lift my name tonight
I will come in
I will be exalted
I will be glorified
I will be lifted up
Welcome him in tonight
Can't you feel him?
Yes, yes
There is liberty
Open your heart tonight
Welcome him in, put them hands together
Fellowship
Joy and peace

[Common:]
All praise to the all-eye seeing
Supreme-being, giver of joy and peace
Love supreme freedom
Some see him in the son
Some see him in the daughters
The mountains, the waters, all divine order
The king unseen, one dream that I had
I was talking to my dad
He said, "Things ain't as bad as they seem"
Is this a God dream the way Ye sing it?
The dream seem to go on as the day lingered
The meaning of life, you can't frame or name it
True stars remain like the name of David
Niggas get foreign cars and think they made it
It ain't yours till you create it in the image of the
Beneficent, merciful, universal, versatile
My verses go till' heaven and earth become reversible
Christ particle, so anything is possible
Fuck big brother, father, mother
God is watching you

[Bilal:]
And I want the joy
And I want to know the peace of mind
I make a way, a way to see
Through it all and ohh
Living for joy and peace
Still in all in the night when it hurts
And your bed feels like snow
There's a joy in the rain
In your heart, there's a way
Turn your light on
Turn your light on
Turn your light on
Turn your light on
Turn your light on
Turn your light on
Turn your light on
Turn your light on
Turn your light on
Turn your light on

  5. g.... w....

    love this whole album, uplifting and dropping knowledge

  6. E.... S....

    Now, I decided to listen this album on my phone before I get his album along with his previous albums like Can I Borrow a Dollar and Resurrection. Common is more important to Hip-Hop in my opinion. What a real fine start to begin with!

  7. R.... P....

    Wow that’s my papa in that,

  8. J.... S....

    Good way to start the project off

  9. R.... H....

    Happy birthday Common!! The Leader, The Revolutionary and The God Mc!!

  10. J.... E....

    Why black America again. Should be a better America. Native Americans are so forgotten that we weren't here first. I guess everybody for their own.

  11. c.... l....

    Black people!!!!! Why is this not at least 1million views, damn we tripping!!!

  12. R.... J....

    I commented somewhere that Nas is slightly better than Common. I was wrong

  13. R.... J....

    This beat tho!

  14. A.... E....

    Only Common baby...all these years in the game and he still got it - fucking crazy love that shit

  15. c.... ....

    Damn....

  16. B.... ....

    Any song with Bilal or Dwele on the hook is a favorite

  17. E.... F....

    It ain't yours till you create it. hmmm..

  18. U.... M....

  19. T.... O....

    Dope Shit

  20. G.... A....

  23. S.... P....

    🎧🎤🎛🔊

  24. C.... C....

    I can bounce and ride to that yes sir, I know what music does for me

  25. J.... X....

    I LOVE YOU COMMON❤

  26. S.... L....

    We need to push these mainstream rappers out & lift true artists like common back up to the hip hop front where they belong! This is musisc! IDK how Nicki & Drake walk out the booth like, "yeah that's a winner" that garbage!
    This is what our people need what Common is doing & music similar.

  27. S.... L....

    Omg!!! This Album Is EVERYTHING!!

  28. M.... S....

    If you don't understand read a book.

  29. U.... o....

    me and my wife love common.... first he came from my wife's town.. Second he's still keeping it real...

  30. A.... J....

    loving it to the moon and the back, common.

  31. M.... ....

    i just listened to this on reapeat for over 15 times .👊🎹🎧🎵🔊 🎼 Inspired My Light is on Thank you. On My Phone On My Seattle Day out On Mon Doc appt. Disabled Blapmaker Joy over Pain

  32. K.... I....

    Uno stile nel modo di fare rap, dove credo sia il migliore

  33. P.... M....

    Who is that on the intro? The preacher

  34. M.... W....

    such a Mastermind. Just my two Cents

  35. B.... L....

    these young cats need to listen to common in black amercia telling fetty

  36. M.... B....

    1st words:
    "Praise to the All Eye Seein'"

    It's ok, because if you switch up the regular placement of the words, like just for example:

    The Order of the New World

    then people don't catch it and argue that there's no relation to the All Seeing Eye or the meaning behind the symbol. "Common wasn't talking about that.."

    M.... B....

    Mark B. Humble shut the fuck up

  37. a.... ....

    i work at a record store and we just got the hard copies of this in. i can't wait to blast this all day over the loud speakers at work tomorrow. flawless production; these beats are rare and glorious, and teamed with Common it's basically an invincible album. this is right up there with A Seat at the Table and Freetown Sound. friggin masterpiece.

  38. D.... ....

    The instrumentals get a bit awkward, but it seems intentional. Good shit otherwise.

  39. t.... b....

    welcome back

  40. A.... Z....

    Black América Again album is sooo fuckin underrated 😤 it pisses me of

    Anyway, Thanks Common! ❤️From Chile🇨🇱

  42. A.... S....

    speak the truth and the fake ones sleep on you!! keep up Common!! turn your light on!!!

  43. G.... V....

    When an artist always stay true to the essence of Hip Hop.

    G.... V....

    I so agree! He's still doing his thing.

    G.... V....

    There should be videos.

    G.... V....

    Love Jones Say it again sis so true.

  44. o.... ....

    Holy moly! Is it just me or are they sampling Gentle Giant's Empty City? :O

    o.... ....

    Yeah it does

  45. K.... b....

    This shit is a damn funk gymnasium...funk is just doing backflips all over the place on this track.

  46. J.... S....

    He always makes the smoothest tracks

  47. R.... L....

    This is real hip hop 🔥🔥🔥

  51. A.... S....

    I enjoy this album Common still making beautiful music this year been good for non mainstream hip-hop.

  52. I.... J....

    sounds a bit like j dilla, right?

    I.... J....

    Fun fact: When J Dilla died, his 3rd album, The Shining, was 75% complete, so Karriem RIggins, the main producer on Black America Again, decided to posthumously complete the album.

    I.... J....

    With Dilla's approval

    I.... J....

    Dilla's mother's approval. :)

    I.... J....

    SMUS wasn't common on the shining aswell?

    I.... J....

    He sure was. He was on 2 tracks in *The Shining* record.

  53. B.... N....

    daaam people need to stop sleeping on common

    B.... N....

    Precious Grace damn that's a shame, I guess. I don't think it's sleep. it's just with the way music has changed his concious rapping is not a focus to peoole who want "get high" tunes. guess your right though it's a damn shame. this album is fire though

    B.... N....

    I just hope ppl listen.

    B.... N....

    people don't sleep on common, sheep do.

    B.... N....

    He's a legend. He gained his recognition. How is he slept on? lol

    B.... N....
