State of Clarity Guru (Ft. Bob James & Common)

[Verse 1: Common]
My mind blows decisions, at times indecisive
I think about the paradox that life is
Keep my head to the sky and understand what Christ is
Turn off the news 'cause every day is a crisis
Lifeless niggas on the couch weeded out
It's certain types of niggas in my life I weeded out
I believe in the route of soul before paper
No gold before labor, truth told with no glaziers
Days are getting darker quick
I was told it was written, I'ma author it
Wanna go the same place that the martyrs went
The black figures on the wall in my apartment
Like LaDainian, y'all, I be charging it
Touching down with the people from my town
It's the Chi that be giving me my ground
Dug in the crates of my soul and I found… clarity

[Chorus: Guru and (Common)]
Be yourself (ah, and be so clear, come on)
Ayo, just be yourself (and be so clear)
So just be yourself (y'all be so clear)
C'mon, just be yourself (and be so clear)
Be yourself (yeah and be so clear)
Ayo, just be yourself (and be so clear)
So just be yourself (y'all be so clear)
C'mon, just be yourself (and be so clear)
