Common - I'm Gone

Copied!

{Verse One}
Fuel for the fire to burn out my life
Fuel for the shuttle take me out of sight
Fly myself into outer space
I'm trying to escape the human race

{Chorus}
I'm gone
Insane
Can't get these images out of my brain
Stay strong
Stand firm
Just be patient it'll be your turn

{Verse Two}
Man on the street looking for some change
If change could save a life, then his life would be saved
The girl on the corner, trying to make some bread
To feed to her baby who's alonе in bed

{Chorus}
I'm gone
Insane
Can't gеt these images out of my brain
Stay strong
Stand firm
Just be patient it'll be your turn

{Verse Three}
Mama's taking pills so her muscles can relax
But your heart is a muscle now she's gone like that
Rich girl sees what her mama has done
She repeats the program, just for fun

{Chorus}
I'm gone
Insane
Can't get these images out of my brain
Stay strong
Stand firm
Just be patient it'll be your turn

{Bridge}
Life can be rough
Tough

{Verse Four}
Go downtown to the coffee shop
Have myself a little coffee talk
I get home, I turn on the news
Everything I see gives me the blues
Well

{Chorus}
{x2}
I'm gone
I'm insane
I can't get these images out of my brain
Stay strong
Stand firm
Just be patient it'll be your turn

{Outro}
Just be patient it'll be your turn
{x3}

edit bio

Common, born Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr. on March 13, 1972, is a Grammy and Oscar-winning rapper and actor hailing from Chicago, Illinois. Known for his poetic flow and soulful hip-hop style, Common has solidified his place as one of the most respected artists in the industry.

Growing up, Common served as a ball boy for the Chicago Bulls before attending Florida A&M University to study business administration. However, his passion for music led him to drop out of school and pursue a career in rap. He gained national attention after being featured in The Source magazine's Unsigned Hype column in 1991.

Common released his debut album "Can I Borrow a Dollar?" in 1992, followed by his breakthrough second album "Resurrection" in 1994, which featured the classic single "I Used to Love H.E.R." As his career began to soar, he faced a lawsuit from the music group Common Sense over his name, leading him to drop the "Sense" and release his third album "One Day It'll All Make Sense" in 1997.

Throughout his career, Common has released several critically acclaimed albums, including "Like Water for Chocolate" (2000) and "Be" (2005), the latter being released under Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music imprint. In 2018, he formed the group August Greene with Karriem Riggins and Robert Glasper, releasing a self-titled album.

In addition to his music career, Common has made a name for himself in the acting world, appearing in various television shows and movies such as "American Gangster," "Selma," "Suicide Squad," and "The Chi." He won an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for Best Original Song for "Glory" from the film "Selma," as well as Grammy Awards for his collaborations with Erykah Badu and Kanye West.

With his unique blend of storytelling and social consciousness, Common continues to inspire and influence audiences worldwide through his music and acting endeavors.
