Common - Courageous

I'm right here in the flesh, you can take it on that
I'm not claiming, not pretending to be what I'm not
I ain't nobody's angel, we're in this world tryina change it
Who you are, just embrace it, stay courageous.

Unapologetic on the same with it
Times in life I came with it
When the unseen came vivid
Of different flashes, same spirit
It's like a lyric by Stevie Wonder
Through innovation you can see the wonder
Spent time and life being a runner
Couldn't run from what I've seen this summer
Tryina understand where we are in time
Looking at the world, keeping God in mind
I know recipe it's hard to find
I went out there and found my [?]
I'm alive on the rival
My life is more than survival
You can live and be alive, too
That's how Heaven will describe you.

If you want something real, I'm right here in the flesh you can take it or not
I'm not claiming, not pretending to be what I'm not
I ain't nobody's angel, we're in this world tryina change it
Who you are, just embrace it, stay courageous
And be real. Yeah.
I'm right here in the flesh you can take it or not
I'm not claiming, not pretending to be what I'm not
I ain't nobody's angel, we're in this world tryina change it
Who you are, just embrace it, stay courageous

Look life in the eye, I can see clearer
A kingdom's coming, and you can hear us
Stay close to dust and sincerous
Those the ones that become mirrors
Speak no hate, let love hear us
Times on me is when I was fearless
There's a self that I got to take care of
So with the world I could truly share love
And be a bear of fruit on the planet
God's steps I don't take for granted
Time is [?] we internalize
Honour that little boy, that little girl inside
Pray these words will rise to the ears of angels
We let go of fears that we came through
Change is beautiful as it is painful
The world is yours, don't let it change you,
Don't let it change you.

I'm right here in the flesh you can take it or not
I'm not claiming, not pretending to be what I'm not
I ain't nobody's angel, we're in this world tryina change it
Who you are, just embrace it, stay courageous
And be real. Yeah.
I'm right here in the flesh you can take it or not
I'm not claiming, not pretending to be what I'm not
I ain't nobody's angel, we're in this world tryina change it
Who you are, just embrace it, stay courageous.
