I was rollin' around, in my mind it occurred…………..
What if God was a her?......
You know I’m an ordinary cat for the most part, however every now and then I get in one of those fucked up moods. Yea, you know the ones where you just want to sit back by yourself and just zone with a couple shots of henny. I usually throw on one of those albums that’s fitting my mood at the time. The last couple of weeks I’ve been on that vibe. Very seldom does an artist put out an album and you feel like that album was put out with you in mind. It’s like everything you’ve wanted to say comes out in the lyrics. When Common dropped BE back in May 2005, I was a year in with my girl still doing what we ungrateful dudes do. My dudes and I were gearing up for the summer and running into new females. I went through the whole process of getting caught up on a few different occasions. This album really opened up my eyes in various ways. Common over the years has gone through many changes within himself, which he has showed through his music. It’s that maturity through music that helps you mature within yourself. With lyrics like:
“I was rollin' around, in my mind it occurred
What if God was a her?
Would I treat her the same? Would I still be runnin' game on her?
In what type of ways would I want her?
Would I want her for her mind or her heavenly body?
Couldn't be out gettin' bogus with someone so godly
If I was wit' her would I still be wantin' my ex?
The lies, the greed, the weed, the sex
Wouldn't be ashamed to give her part of my check
Wearin' her cross, I mean the heart on my neck
Her I would reflect on the streets of the Chi'
Ride wit' her, 'cause I know for me she'd die
Through good and bad call on her like I'm chirpin' her
Couldn't be jealous 'cause other brothers worship her
Walk this earth for her, glory, I'm grateful
To be in her presence I try to stay faithful”
This album came out and was considered by many a certified classic. BE, sold close to one million records to date and was measured by many to be Common’s best work yet. At the time, I like many struggled to stay faithful and never took the time to realize what kind of woman I had right there riding for me. So whether you prefer to spark a L, Drink a little liquor, or whatever it is you do to relax, take that time to throw on that album you feel was made just for you to hear and let the music speak to you.
