G.O.D. (Gaining Ones Definition) Lyric Common ONE DAY IT'LL ALL MAKE SENSE

Common:
After bein' 25 you know just trying to survive in the world
Bout
to have a little boy or baby girl. Who knows?
Anyway just when you start
gettin that little age and experience to you
You start thinkin about
stuff...tryin to make the right moves
So bust it out this is what I was
thinkin check it

Yo the education of the Lon chicka Lonnie Lynn

Began, began with time
Bein my bloodline is one with the divine
In
time brotha, you will discover the light
Some say that God is Black and the
Devil's White
Well, the Devil is wrong and God is what's right
I fight,
with myself in the ring of doubt and fear
The rain ain't gone, but I can
still see clear
As a child, given religion with no answer to why
Just
told believe in Jesus cuz for me he did die
Curiosity killed the catechism

Understanding and wisdom became the rhythm that I played to
And became a
slave to master self
A rich man is one with knowledge, happiness and his
health
My mind had dealt with the books of Zen, Tao the lessons
Koran
and the Bible, to me they all vital
And got truth within 'em, gotta read
them boys
You just can't skim 'em, different branches of belief
But one
root that stem 'em, but people of the venom try to trim 'em
And use religion
as an emblem
When it should be a natural way of life
Who am I or they to
say to whom you pray ain't right
That's who got you doin right and got you
this far
Whether you say "in Jesus name" or Hum do Allah
Long as you
know it's a bein' that's supreme to you
You let that show towards others in
the things you do
Cuz when the trumpets blowin, 24 elders surround the
throne
Only 144,000 gon get home
Only 144,000 gon get home
Only
144,000 gon get it baby

Chorus Cee-Lo:
I've lived and I've learned

I have taken and I've earned
I have laughed, I've cried
I have
failed and I have tried
Sunshine, pouring rain
found joy through all my
pain
I just wanna be happy with being me

Cee-Lo:
Let me voice my
concern
So many of my fellow brothers have given themselves a title
That
their actions didn't earn
Our ignorance is in the same breath as our
innocence
Subconciously, seeking to find an impressionable mind to convince

I've finally come to the realization why Black people in the worse place

Cuz it's hard to correct yourself when you don't know
Who you are in the
first place
So I try to find the clue in you
But evidently, White folks
know more Black history than we do
Why're we bein' lied to? I ain't know our
history was purposely hidden
Damn, somethin' in me wanna know who I am

So I began my search, my journey started in church
It gave my heartache
relief when I started to understand belief
Hustlin was like a gift spent my
share of time in the streets
Taught me survival from this evil I'm just
gonna have to deal with
And I felt like a fool when I tried to learn it in
school
It almost seemed like a rehearsal when the only
Science and math
are universal
Takin elder advice, read the Bible, the Koran
Searched
scrolls from the Hebrew Israelites
Hold on, this ain't right, Jesus wasn't
White
Some leads were granted with insight
and it's all in the plan, but
it took me some time to overstand
He still created with the imperfection of
man
So, with followin' I disagree
By no means have I forgotten or
forgiven what's been done to me but
I do know the Devil ain't no White man,
the Devil's a spiritual mind
That's color blind, there's evil White folk and
evil niggas
You gon surely find there's no positivity without negativity

But one side you gonna have to choose
Any chance to speak I refuse to
misuse
So how can you call yourself God when you let a worldly possession

become an obsession and the way you write your rhymes and
Can't follow
your lesson
If a seed's sown, you make sure it's known, you make sure it's
grown
If you God, then save your own, don't mentally enslave your own
If
you God, then save your own, don't mentally enslave your own
If you God,
then save your own, don't mentally enslave your own

Well, I've lived and
I've learned
I've taken and I've earned
I have laughed, I have cried

I failed and I have tried
Sunshine, pourin rain
I found joy through
my pain
Just wanna be happy...bein me
Bein me
