Common, Lupe Fiasco & Jennifer Hudson - We Can Do It Now
[Jennifer Hudson]
Guess I gotta forget all about this issue
and try to live my life just like it is
whooa,
but I want everyobody to remember me (everybody)
I will come back 10 years ago (well, hey)
said I want everybody to remember me
when I go back 10 years and years ago
When I get my second chance
[Lupe Fiasco]
When I get my second chance I'm gon redeem myself
when I bring myself, me and my team my help
aint no "I" in that but I'm in that so I am packed
so theres ten to millions inside of that
aint one man army, one man army I am that
bring it back like a typer-writer, writing that
I attack like a lightening strike with a lions wrath
with a vipers bite come alive with that
put your life on that
like everything I do though
all my old wounds have healed but they still feel like they new though
and everytime I see 'em I start to think of you yo
first I wasn't focused, wasn't willing and my goon's
so performance was just lackin at those moments that were crucial
now my heart is razor sharp and confidence is MUCHO
big, things I can't forgive, things I cant forget
things I can't relive, the agony is asking me, defeat is sweet to sin
but I put that on my city we will never miss again.
[Chorus]
Never miss the city of the wind that I'm in
city of the wind that I'm in
we can do it now
we can do it now
we can do it now
we can do it we can do we can do it now
second chance, second win, do it again
yeah eah, eeeeah
yeah we do it again
we can do it now
lets do it again
we can do it now
do it now
[Common]
The rise of the phoenix, sweat falls
time has it's meaning, I evolve
hit the ground and bounce back up, just like B-Ball
Muhammad Ali jaw, I knew that I would be all
(?) where I came from, the same place that (?) from
my name hung, from the rafters before an aftermath of a master
wishing I could have the moment to grab the trophy and glass of champagne
my locker rooms a cold place, LA got no gates
you mighta seen this man cry, that was just my old face
my soul waits redemption and intervention from a higher dimension
inspire mission, no more hoping or wishing, conditions'll change
(?) and say Barack on the range
I'm from the Chi' too, now I'm Barack in the game
came back and overcame, overstood the rain
more than just the fame, married to the game
now I hold the reign
[Chorus]
