Yelling Away - Common
(featuring Zap Mama & Talib Kweli) [Talib] Ok, it's the emcee extraordinaire Talib Kweli Chillin on Soundbombing 3, with my peoples From the East, Cypha Soundz, from West, Mr. Choc This is how we do it, I got y'all back, y'all got mine Let's do this- no more music motherfuckers [laughing] [Zap Mama- Chorus] Yelling, yelling, yelling away Going, going, going away And fly, away [Talib] Yo, fly, aint it Blue skies the limit, the skies infinite It reflect in the eyes of those who try to send spies in it Capture the sun if they could, but they go blind by it Look in the sky and I see Africa's eyes in it The land is dry like the cry in'finite The tear we she'd grow to fruit til the eye replenish The industry wanna try to give my rhyme a sentence Behind bars with my rhymes diminished, they tryna end us But all them clowns do is give my mind a senate To watch my people's enemy die in my presence Fly away on the highest adventure out on the line And enter the gate of Zion, need to decide who sent em' I went through the jungle (yeah) Stalking like a black panther, rap's answer to that cancer Choking the life out the hood They won't let a man emancipate his people This refreshing like the spray of the bay in Puerto Rico [Chorus:] x2 [Zap Mama] All the things, you desire Earth... Wind... Water, fire These elements hammer nice together See, you can find it there Find it there [Chorus:] x2 [Common] Yo, I came into this world as the naked truth A little baby girl, trying to make it through Through this earth, wind, fire and water That I'm someone's daughter Cadence of divine order Sorta sent to let the people know their times spent It's precious and we can't keep our minds bent On just the pleasures of s**, drugs, wine, bread In essence, we one with the environment Though I've been here, less than a year Being so close to god, I guess I haven't learned the fear When I heard nature telling me, time to come home Told my mind this is the path for you to walk, not to run on Understand the night, to reach a higher day Follow yourself so you can fly away (fly away) Fly away dawg, fly away dawg, fly away dawg, fly away dawg [Zap Mama] You are feeling, the stress But in life, you're truly blessed Go... For... Nothing less Spread your wings and fly away Fly away [Chorus:] x4 [Zap Mama] Go... For... Nothing less (x3)
