I'm just a believer baby
In those dreams of mine
You see they just keep on comin'
In a long, long line
Oh yeah, I'm the believer
Oh yeah, I'm the believer
And like that songbird singin'
Whether it's red or blue
Just like those church bells ringin'
I'm keepin' my faith in you
Oh yeah, I'm the believer
Oh yeah, I believe in you
And though the seas may rise
Until they do
I keep doin' the things I'm doin'
And believe in you
I'm makin' the change
I'm keepin' my faith in you
Oh yeah, I'm the believer
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Sure is a windy road
That I walk with you
Look how the trees are bendin'
Their leaves are fallin' too
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I'm the believer, babe
Oh yeah
I remember my mama saying
I want to be
On this windy road
For eternity
I'm makin' the change
I'm keepin' my faith in you
Oh yeah, I'm the believer, babe
I believe in you
Oh yeah, I'm the believer, babe
I'm the believer
I'm the believer
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

[John legend - Hook]
I believe in the light that shines and will never die
Oh I believe the fire burns, we stay alive
They will talk about us
Like they talked about the kings before us
They will talk about us
[Common - Verse 1]
These are the words of a believer, achiever, leader of the globe
Feeding souls of those in need
I bleed the blood of the struggle
Walking over troubled puddles
Hustles in my chest, no hustle no progress
Extremities of life and it's process
Birth of a son, death of another
With love I can rest both mothers
And told 'em, who's in control is the one thats above us
I walk where money talks and love stutters
Body language of a nation going through changes
The young become dangerous, pain gets spent into anger
Anger gets sent through the chamber
It's tough when your own look like strangers
We are the sons of gangsters and stone rangers
If he could how would Ernie Barnes paint us
Look at the picture, hard not to blame us
But time forgives and the Chi where the young die often
Do they end up in a coffin because we haven't taught them?
Is it what we talking we really aint walking
Dudes, hustlers pay, how much did it cost 'em?
Find myself on the same corner that we lost 'em
Real talking, in they ear like a walkman
Thoughts spin around the corner to the World
When I see them, I see my baby girl
Believe
[John legend - Hook]
I believe in the light that shines and will never die
Oh I believe the fire burns, we stay alive
They will talk about us
Like they talked about the kings before us
They will talk about us
[Common - Verse 2]
The lord lives among us
The young uns hunger become a means to get it
By any means necessary, under pressure
Children feeling lesser, with the steel up on the dresser
Killin' will aggressors, destiny's children
Survivors, soldiers, in front of buildings they eyes look older
Hard to see blessings in the violent culture
Face against weapons, sirens, holsters
That aint the way that Langston Hughes wrote us
Soul controllers on the shoulders of Moses and Noah
We go from being oppressors to Oprah
Cultivated to overcome ever since we came overseas
Today and the way that you can see we determined
Solar keeps burning, shawty's know to keep learning
Lesson's in our life, but life stripes that we earning
Took raps advice that Christ is returning
Like a thief in the night, I write the beacons of light
For those of us in dark alleys and parched valleys
Street kids spark rallies of the conscience conquerors of a contest
That seems beyond us, even through the unseen, I know that God watches
From one King's dream he was able to Barack us
The prophets, nothing can stop us
Believe
[John legend - Hook]
I believe in the light that shines and will never die
Oh I believe the fire burns, we stay alive
They will talk about us
Like they talked about the kings before us
They will talk about us
I know I know I know our dreams won't turn to dust
They will talk about us
I know I know I know our dreams won't turn to dust
They will talk about us
I know I know I know our dreams won't turn to dust

[Intro: Man - talking]
"Somebody told me, that the, I'm the truth
Don't worry about it, get down with me and ah
We'll set you free... "
(Hit it!)
[Break: Brother Ali - talking]
Yeah, yeah
Gone in a swing like that right there
Yeah, ah
(I want everybody to jump out their seats
And start clappin your hands)
[Verse 1: Brother Ali]
Rhymesayer Entertain, try to name a better team
Reveal your jealous aim, some things'll never change
Best twang your family together mayne
Them people cellophane, allowin their mother name
I'm invincible, walk with my word and my balls and my principles
Like a true prince should do
Only givin you a little bitty glimpse of truth
As I live it through, imagine what I'm fittin to do
I ain't that hit it and quit it dude
Live it for that minute, then split and I'm here to get residual
Pedal hard and settle not for even a notch
Between the premium spot, cream of the crop
Believe it or not, I'm over every line like one
Life changin moment at a time
Please trust you'll find, no better design
I'm so justified, I'm boast of epic kind
Nose to the grind stone, wait, no never mind
I could tell you 'til I'm blue in the face, the end of time
If you was ever gon' bear witness to the child
Then your ass probably would've been admitted by now
[Chorus: Brother Ali]
So now, ah, come now walk with me
I think and I walk and I talk awkwardly
If when you gotta see in order to believe
Then your ass must be blind, none strong as me, Ali
Ah, come now walk with me
I think and I walk and I talk honestly
I show strangers what they ought not to see
But that's just our nature, none strong as we, ha
[Verse 2: Slug]
Call me Slug, that's it, don't need no acronyms
Tryin to keep the masochist tucked inside the pacificist
But God it's gettin hard to give 'em passes when
They act as if they came up on the south side of Nazareth
Can't imagine this, it's like a beauty pageant
Where them models project and serve the law of averageness
Coat hanger on the mic, rappin mannequins
Stash 'em out behind the garage, where the trash be in
Don't go and get mad, I ain't your daddy kid
And you not Ant, so why you tryin to sample this?
So pop your little titties out, ego expandin
Them shenanigans'll catch a free ride up in that ambulance
Can't fix them damages with bandages
Another midlife crisis, tryin to brag on all the ass you get
Cash it in and take a look at who you dancin with
You just a middle man between the fiends and your management
Minneapolis, takes the passion with
A twist of lemon, 'cause I'm on some old fashioned shit
So tell Anakin we lookin for Orlando with
Coach and the "Champion", go fix a couple sandwiches
[Chorus: Brother Ali]
Yeah, come now walk with me
I think and I walk and I talk awkwardly
If when you gotta see in order to believe
Then your ass must be blind, none strong as me, Ali
Ah, come now walk with me
I think and I walk and I talk honestly
I show strangers what they ought not to see
But that's just my nature, none strong as we, come on
[Verse 3: Brother Ali]
Used to raise babies in a funky old dirty place
So I kept me a snub nosed .38
Took it to the pawn shop on the first and paid
Rent with it, didn't want to send 'em to the pearly gates
In the clutch of the beat drop
See me hop up off the Sheetrock and strut like a peacock
Get your teeth knocked, clean out your speech box
Must not believe that meets the grease part
I wrote God a love letter with street chalk
Fell through potato chips, could of put beach hut
And there I stood in all of my splendor
'Til I did believe I told 'em everything that I meant to
[Chorus: Brother Ali]
Come down now, come now walk with me
I think and I walk and I talk awkwardly
If when you gotta see in order to believe
Then your ass must be blind, none strong as me, Ali
Ah, come down walk with me
I think and I walk and I talk honestly
I show strangers what they ought not to see
But that's just our nature, none strong as we, ah
(Get, get, get, get, get, get, get down)...
"But the squares won't dance 'cause they're just all fakes
And they can't understand the commands of the breaks" (breaks, breaks)
[Outro: Scratched Run-D.M.C. Sample]
"A stage, a crowd and two Rhymesayers" [x4]
"Two Rhymesayers"
"A stage, a crowd, a-a crowd, and two rhyme-Rhymesayers"

Activity killed you
When are you gonna find half of things that you knew in your body were wrong
I wanted to be friends with you
Now I have come to find it was mistaken
In passion nobody was wrong
And I believed you
They sat down in London
Had to be hard to be hard to keep hating yourself when these people are so well behaved
You did time in Duncanville
Part of you is living there still in a hole where the souls of the lost geared to save
And I believed you
When you said happiness
Is all you wanted
You said this
Is all you wanted
How I miss
We almost made it
Happiness
All of your good friends
All of the people like me keep a list of the things in this world that we trust
You are here in after referred to as someone who gave it a shot, gave it off, left the cruel world to us
And I believed you
You won't get nervous
You won't come down
You won't feel helpless
You won't be around anymore
Anymore

You can point and laugh
I'm sure he's used to that
Using faith like an acrobat 'til the net breaks
He won't get upset
That though we've never met
I know everything he's said 'cause a friend once told me:
He's got hellfire in his eyes
There is madness behind the lies
He would burn us all alive just to prove his point
God save the believer we mistake for a deceiver
'cause it makes us feel better.
The time has come and gone
To say what's right and wrong
People like him don't belong 'cause we're all OK
You'd better write him off
without a second thought
Thinking just leads to getting caught in the traps he sets, like:
Who is that on his knees?
It's that daring young man from the flying trapeze
Crying "Father, Father, help me please" Well good luck, pal, you're gonna need it
Chorus
