Be (Live at the North Sea Jazz Festival, 2005)

Common, Kanye West, James Poyser

[Intro]
Yeah, put your hands in the air, North Sea
Yeah yeah, it's like this y’all, yeah
Let me hear ya say 'Yeah'
Say ’Oh yeah'
Say 'The real hip-hop'
At North Sea
Check it

[Verse]
I want to be as free as the spirits of those who left
I'm talking Malcolm, Coltrane, my man Yusef
Through death grew conception, new breath and resurrection
For moms, new steps in a direction
In the right way, told her, "Inside is where the fight lay
Everything a nigga do may not be what he might say"
Chicago nights they, stay on the mind
I write many lives, they, lay on these lines
Wavin' signs of the times, many say the grind's on the mind
Shorties blunted-eyed and everyone wanna rhyme
Bush pushing lies, killers immortalized
We got arms but won't reach for the skies
Waiting for the Lord to rise, I looked into my daughter’s eyes
Realize I’ma learn through her
The Messiah, might even return through her
If I'ma do it, I gotta change the world through her
Furs and a Benz, Gramps wantin ’em
Demons and old friends, Pops, they hauntin' him
The chosen one from the land of the frozen sun
Where drunk nights get remembered more than sober ones
Walk like warriors, we were never told to run
Explored the world to return to where my soul begun
Never looking back, or too far in front of me
The present is a gift, and I just want to be...

And you say North Sea
Make some noise
Where my peoples at here from Amsterdam?
What about Rotterdam?
Den Haag?
What about the US?
