"Vision" lyrics
Common & 9th Wonder Lyrics
(feat. PJ & Bilal)
No stopping philosophy
I am the pottery of greater hands
For the children of the lesser, I'm a greater man
Onstage I stand saying how and why we live
Through my daughters and reporters
Now I live to tell the story of the glory of the fight
Before the eternal, the emporium of light
I pour with all my might into the truth of journalism
Had my ups and downs, paid my dues and earned the wisdom
Concerted vision of broadcast symphonies
In with ESP then had an epiphany
Share the gifts to me unapologetically
Yeah, I got that dog in me
Still, I got a pedigree, ahead of my time
Ain't no one ahead of me, what I leave behind
Is divine legacy, it's bigger than I
My vision knows no limits, it lives in the sky
Never seen nothing like me (Oh)
Got the vision inside me
Ain't no limit to how far we go
Now you know
Never seen nothing like me (Yeah)
I'll lead the way, just get behind me
Ain't no limit to how far we go
Now you know
When I ain't have nothing, I possessed everything
Moms said, "Get your arm strong so you could carry dreams"
Barely seen in a scene that's evergreen
Pops said, "If it's your song, forever sing"
And cross waters uncharted
Be a voice for the unheard and Our Father who art in Heaven
I fight like hell to tell a champ story
When I couldn't fight no more, others did it for me
Doors be opened that no man can close
Through phrases, the story of a people is told
Behold a rebel with a cause without a pause
One after another, yo, I battle for ours
And push bars on TV screens
Quoting rap gods, hip-hop kings and queens
Get the money long time, no cash
I was caught up in the hustle, then I found my path
Never seen nothing like me (Oh)
Got the vision inside me
Ain't no limit to how far we go
Now you know
Never seen nothing like me (Yeah)
I'll lead the way, just get behind me
Ain't no limit to how far we go
Now you know
Never seen nothing like me (Oh)
Got the vision inside me
Ain't no limit to how far we go
Now you know
Never seen nothing like me
I'll lead the way, just get behind me
Ain't no limit to how far we go
Now you know
I am the pottery of greater hands
For the children of the lesser, I'm a greater man
Onstage I stand saying how and why we live
Through my daughters and reporters
Now I live to tell the story of the glory of the fight
Before the eternal, the emporium of light
I pour with all my might into the truth of journalism
Had my ups and downs, paid my dues and earned the wisdom
Concerted vision of broadcast symphonies
In with ESP then had an epiphany
Share the gifts to me unapologetically
Yeah, I got that dog in me
Still, I got a pedigree, ahead of my time
Ain't no one ahead of me, what I leave behind
Is divine legacy, it's bigger than I
My vision knows no limits, it lives in the sky
Never seen nothing like me (Oh)
Got the vision inside me
Ain't no limit to how far we go
