Common - Get It Right lyrics

[Chorus: Raphael Saadiq] Time flies No time to waste while it's passing you by Time files Be patient 'cause good things happen in time We gon' get it right, we gon' get it right We gon' get it right, we gon' get it right [Verse 1: Common] Protest the anthems, yes, we chantin' A movement of people, it's like we dancin' To the ministry of, it's the energy of In memory of, of them that we love The trinity of the people, the peace, the power The truth we speak to power's even louder We can say it Blacker, we can say it prouder A woman vice president that went to Howard Now we talk helpin' Black businesses And our differences is magnificence Bringin' light to the poor and where the prisons is I was told good life is where forgiveness lives The ascension is to leave what's left behind And feed the seeds with deeds that bless the mind Caress the mind and question just defined When youth and God and time are best aligned [Chorus: Raphael Saadiq] Time flies No time to waste while it's passing you by Time files Be patient 'cause good things happen in time We gon' get it right, we gon' get it right We gon' get it right, we gon' get it right [Verse 2: Common] How can I be a better father, son, a better grandson? Honorin' Fannie Lous and the Fred Hamptons The Harriets, the chariots that carry us To various areas that marry us To progress, yeah, we the harvest The lovely days and midnight marauders Even through charges and days of darkness Know we in the hands of the greatest artists I see it in the waters, I see it in our daughters They could be bridges that know no borders For so long them folk tried to ignore us When we at the ballot box, it's a vote for us Peace to Stacey and the people of Georgia Who galvanized so that we could move forward Steps of order with the presence of mind Everything's more beautiful in time [Chorus: Raphael Saadiq] Time flies No time to waste while it's passing you by Time files Be patient 'cause good things happen in time We gon' get it right, we gon' get it right We gon' get it right, we gon' get it right [Outro: Raphael Saadiq] Goes to, goes to what I love Goes to, goes to the one I love Goes to, goes to what I love Goes to, goes to the one I love Goes to, goes to what I love Goes to, goes to the one I love
