Common — Courageous

[Chorus: PJ] I'm right here in the flesh, you can take it or not I'm not claiming, pretending to be what I'm not I ain't nobody's angel When this world try to change you Who you are, just embrace it Stay courageous [Verse 1: Common] Unapologetic, unashamed with it Times in life, I came with it When the unseen became vivid Of different flesh, same spirit It's like a lyric by Stevie Wonder Through inner visions, you can see the wonder Spent time in life being the runner Couldn't run from what I've seen this summеr Tryna understand where wе are in time Looking at the world, keeping God in mind I know it's a peace, it's hard to find I went out there found mine decide I'm alive on arrival My life is more than survival You can live and be live too That's how heaven will describe you [Chorus: PJ] If you want something real I'm right here in the flesh, you can take it or not I'm not claiming, pretending to be what I'm not I ain't nobody's angel When this world try to change you Who you are, just embrace it Stay courageous and be real Yeah, I'm here in the flesh, you can take it or not I'm not claiming, pretending to be what I'm not I ain't nobody's angel When this world try to change you Who you are, just embrace it Stay courageous [Verse 2: Common] Look life in the eye, I can see clearer A kingdom's coming, you can hear it near us Stay close to the sincerest Those the ones that become mirrors Speak no hate, let love hear us Times I'm me is when I was fearless There's a self I gotta take care of So with the world, I can truly share love And be a bearer of fruit on the planet Guided steps I don't take for granted Time is manic we internalize Honor that little boy or little girl inside Pray these words arise to the ears of angels We let go of fears that we came through Change is beautiful as it is painful The world is yours, don't let it change you Don't let it change you [Chorus: Paris Jones] I'm right here in the flesh, you can take it or not I'm not claiming, pretending to be what I'm not I ain't nobody's angel When this world try to change you Who you are, just embrace it Stay courageous and be real Yeah, I'm here in the flesh, you can take it or not I'm not claiming, pretending to be what I'm not I ain't nobody's angel When this world try to change you Who you are, just embrace it Stay courageous
