Live Today - Derrick Hodge, Common

Transitions

Transitions of a man’s mission

Can turn the moment, into something he owns

Not just for him, but for them

To understand, this is peace of a man

Woman beside providing balance

So that we can do our best, with God’s talents

Yeah

Live today

Don’t give it away

It away

Cause we live today

We live today

Today I’m known, today I’m born

New ways I’m going, new ways I’m growing

New ways I’m flowing

A form unknown from the corner is one stone

Colouring life with more than one tone

Nation embracing life’s placements

Faces in places we in, the direction it’s taking us in

Like the wind from a city that’s discovered by DuSable

Chicago taught me how to lead and to follow

My heart, even when it’s hollow

I plant a seed for today that believes in tomorrow

Sun telling me never feed in the sorrow

Pay attention, cause these times are borrowed

Days is a maze, Is a lesson, it’s a maze

It’s a blessing it’s a blessing we live today

Live today

Don’t give it away

It away

Cause we live today

We live today

Life everlasting

Passion is extreme from dreams that we have

The path that we take

The path that we make

Yo, Some things we gotta undo, and unlearn

Taking turn to earn

Taking turn to burn

Taking things is firm

Firm in the mind and rewind them

Think we timed them

We divide them out, divide them in

The way common sense and my man D. Hodge blend

We take it in like a breath

I can be the chef in the kitchen

While I’m switching

Up a different type of style

I gotta think faster

Got a task for

Everybody

Just to do

Just to live today

Just to live today

We live today for the present known and it’s a blessing

For our future

Giving thanks, for our ancestors in the past

Forgiveness for the transgressors

Cause we dance with the ancestors

(End)
