The Believer Lyrics - Common

[John legend - Hook] 

I believe in the light that shines and will never die 

Oh I believe the fire burns, we stay alive 

They will talk about us 

Like they talked about the kings before us 

They will talk about us 

[Common - Verse 1] 

These are the words of a believer, achiever, leader of the globe 

Feeding souls of those in need 

I bleed the blood of the struggle 

Walking over troubled puddles 

Hustles in my chest, no hustle no progress 

Extremities of life and it's process 

Birth of a son, death of another 

With love I can rest both mothers 

And told 'em, who's in control is the one that's above us 

I walk where money talks and love stutters 

Body language of a nation going through changes 

The young become dangerous, pain gets spent into anger 

Anger gets sent through the chamber 

It's tough when your own look like strangers 

We are the sons of gangsters and stone rangers 

If he could how would Ernie Barnes paint us 

Look at the picture, hard not to blame us 

But time forgives in the Chi where the young die often 

Do they end up in a coffin because we haven't taught them? 

Is it what we talking we really aint walking 

Dues hustlers pay, how much did it cost 'em? 

Find myself on the same corner that we lost 'em 

Real talking, in they ear like a walkman 

Thoughts spin around the corner to the World 

When I see them, I see my baby girl 

Believe

[John legend - Hook] 

I believe in the light that shines and will never die 

Oh I believe the fire burns, we stay alive 

They will talk about us 

Like they talked about the kings before us 

They will talk about us 

[Common - Verse 2] 

The lord lives among us 

The younger's hunger become a means to get it 

By any ways necessary, under pressure 

Children feeling lesser, with the steel up on the dresser 

Killin' will aggressors, destiny's children 

Survivors, soldiers, in front of buildings they eyes look older 

Hard to see blessings in a violent culture 

Face against weapons, sirens, holsters 

That aint the way that Langston Hughes wrote us 

Soul controllers on the shoulders of Moses and Noah 

We go from being precious to Oprah 

Cultivated to overcome ever since we came overseas 

Today and the way that you can see we determined 

Solar keeps burning, shawty's know to keep learning 

Lesson's in our life, are like stripes that we earning 

Took Gramps advice that Christ is returning 

Like a thief in the night, I write the beacons of light 

For those of us in dark alleys and parched valleys 

Street kids spark rallies of the conscience conquerors of a contest 

That seems beyond us, even through the unseen, I know that God watches 

From one King's dream he was able to Barack us 

The prophets, nothing can stop us 

Believe

They will talk about us 

Like they talked about the kings before us 

They will talk about us 

I know I know I know our dreams won't turn to dust 

They will talk about us 

I know I know I know our dreams won't turn to dust 

They will talk about us 

I know I know I know our dreams won't turn to dust 

They will talk about us
