[Intro: Various Speakers]
- What is a beautiful revolution?
- A beautiful revolution
- A beautiful revolution is when old and outdated ideas are replaced by new and better ones
- Everybody's in peace, everybody's shaking hands
- A beautiful revolution? The Earth going around the Sun, it's a beautiful thing
- The truth is, revolution can be small. It's in the stillness, and it can be painful and warm because it's happening on the inside first. It can't happen out there unless it's happening in here
- A beautiful revolution is a truthful revolution, a revolution that balances the extremes of, of inner and outer, light and dark, good and evil, masculine, feminine, black, white
- People were able to change other peoples' minds without any loss of life and without any shedding of blood
- That's a beautiful revolution
- That's, that's what a beautiful revolution looks like to me

[Outro: Morgan Parker]
And finally, we take us back, The boat and the big house, my body, my thoughts, our words, our fate, my people, our peace, my people. Come, sit down for a spell. We gather to announce our freedom, unafraid to turn our backs, and we can bring you. And nobody wants us dead. And we are free to rest and tend our wounds. Give us this day to grieve who we could've been. Give us this day to bless the Atlantic floor, to worship what was stolen. Give us more than survival. Weave fists, glistening with Blue Magic and Black Glory. Only roses in our mouths. We pray like this. We keep us safe. We can breathe. We give us breath. And we is us again. Amen

Common

Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr. (born March 13, 1972), better known by his stage name Common (previously Common Sense), is a Grammy and Oscar-winning rapper and actor from Chicago, Illinois. Common’s inspired mix of poetic flow and hip-hop soul has helped him earn his status as one of the most respected rappers in the game.

After being a ball boy for his hometown Chicago Bulls as a teen and attending Florida A&M University for business administration, Common Sense kicked in and he left school to become a rapper. He gained national attention after being featured in the Unsigned Hype column of The Source magazine in 1991. He released his debut album Can I Borrow a Dollar? through Relativity Records in 1992, followed by his breakthrough second album Resurrection in 1994, which features his hip-hop classic single “I Used To Love H.E.R.”

As his career began to take off, he was sued by the music group Common Sense over the name, leading Common to drop the “Sense” and allude to the change in the title of his third album, One Day It’ll All Make Sense (1997). He has released several critically acclaimed albums, including Like Water For Chocolate (2000), which features his J Dilla-produced hit single “The Light”, and Be (2005), which was released under fellow Chicago musician Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music imprint. He also joined musicians Karriem Riggins and Robert Glasper to form the group August Greene, and the trio released their self-titled album in 2018.
