Common – Good Morning Love 070 Shake – I Laugh When I’m with Friends
When we wash all our pain away Hurry up and bounce it before I forget
We say, oh, my Lord What I made in my head
When we can't make it through the day
I don't wanna spend my life thinking what they'll think
We pray, oh, my Lord
or what they might
It's a test coming to my faith
If I go see her show, she might collapse and lose her
We pray, oh, my Lord, mm
life
Will my people ever be safe?
I guess I'll save some money and save myself from
In the land that takes us and breaks us, I can't be
wasting time, like
sure
Fuck this lil' dyke, the way she's going, it'll be her
Walking with the Lord, I see footprints fault if she ever dies
My mama always told me use my good sense All that time you was talkin', that shit was eatin' me
Common always looking for the good sense alive
Since we all got good in our essence Through the judgments, you didn't see I was fightin'
In the hood sense, we all good anyway for my life
That's why you always hear another dollar, 'nother How could I send signs?
day And God forgive me if I cry
I see the day as a new beginning Then I'll become an attention seeker and not a leader
Movement of the people, movement of the women See people will only really understand you when they
To get the Earth spinning in the right direct need you
This movie of life, sometimes might project I guess I'm better off all alone in a two-seater
Act, scenes that don't seem serene People tellin' me to stop, don't be weak human being
I like palo santo, put on Love Supreme While the voice inside my head keeps tellin' me that I
And get into the being of the great I am need it
That's when I get to seeing just how great I am I now ask you, please stop judgin' me
Many many times from mistakes, I ran I got myself out this single handedly
But I'm just a cake, let me bake, goddamn And we do what we do 'cause we don't understand
I pray I don't forsake my man the consequence
And whenever I fall, on faith, I land Of every step we take is wrong
Imperfections, resurrections How could we ever see the mess?
In the mirror staring at God's reflection (Uhh)
Reflecting on my aggressions And it's not just you and me, the whole youth is
On my regressions, on my obsessions depressed
There's a lesson in not feeling less Living with the devil, constant battle every day
And in seeing life itself as a blessing Wake up, gotta talk to people but I don't know what to
say
When we wash all our pain away
And they tellin' me get off my ass, I was born on the
We say, oh, my Lord
wrong path
When we can't make it through the day
(Yeah, mmm)
We pray, oh, my Lord
And I'm tryna solve these problems
It's a test coming to my faith
But I was always bad at math
We pray, oh, my Lord, mm
(Mmm, yeah)
Will my people ever be safe?
And your voice has made it harder
In the land that takes us and breaks us, I can't be
And that's just honestly
sure
I had to shoot up to my brain
Yeah To become the person that I wanna be
The jubilee of a newer me (Yeah, oh)
Giving my enemies something new to see Growin' up tryin' to figure out who you are
My community, they be fueling me Sniffin' shit at 14, it becomes a little hard
In the struggle of us, there's a unity When you're livin' in a scene where the healthy shit is
The moral universe stay schooling me far
Will the king of kings really rule in me? But the drugs are no further than your room or your
I'm an instrument, stay in tune with me car
This orchestrated by Kareem, Samora, Boom, and Don't be alarmed, it'll get brighter, it'll get better
me It's 'cause we are fighters and tougher than leather
If agape had a Cupid, she'd be shooting me The strong you is inside, but you just haven't met her
 This rap here is fear's eulogy Only we control our storm because we are the
Escape rooms with glasses of wine weather
Just another crutch for my brokeness Don't get how I could love the things that really torn
A term that I got for my therapist me
As a black man, I feel I should be sharin' this Remember telling myself that I was quitting in the
In the hood they say we crazy and we derelicts morning
But we needed for our kids and our marriages And did you really try and help or was you tryna tell a
The old folks say we don't do that story?
But taking care of self is the new black It's okay 'cause I got me and I don't need you to feel
Unconventional ways, unconditional ways sorry
Mediation, mindfulness, it's just given to praise
The future's bright, let's make it pro
I'm in a phase, all I see is victory
We got us, we are the light
You on that wave, then come and get with me
We are the world, we are love
I only want what's meant for me
We gotta fight for ourselves 'cause no one's gonna
And say the things that's sent to me
No one's gonna
In penitentiaries, I met the most enlightened
(Yeah)
Finding the losses, Heaven's excitement
I write with a force of a kid that wanted to I laugh when I'm with friends, but I'm sad when I'm
Be in The Source, but that changed, of course alone
I maintained the sauce and became a boss And I be alone and I be alone and I be alone
I apologize if I came across (Yeah Uh)
As judgmental, or self-righteous I laugh when I'm with friends but I'm sad when I'm
'Cause in you, I see his likeness alone
And I be alone, I be alone (Yeah, ohhh)
I laugh when I'm with friends but I'm sad when I'm
alone
And I be alone
