We Live Today
Derrick Hodge Feat Common Lyrics
Transitions transitions of a man's mission
Can turn the moment, into something he owns
Not just for him, but for them
To understand, this is peace of a man
Woman beside providing balance
So that we can do our best
With God's talents
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We live today, live today
Live today, live today, live today
Live today live today, live today
Don't give it away
It away, it away, it away
Cause we live today
We live today, we live today, we live today
Today I'm known, today I'm born
New ways I'm going, new ways I'm growing
New ways I'm flowing
A form unknown from the corner is one stone
Coloring life with more than one tone
Nation embracing life's placements
Faces in places we in
The direction it's taking us in
Like the wind from a city
That's discovered by DuSable
Chicago taught me how to lead and to follow
My heart, even when it's hollow
I plant a seed for today
That believes in tomorrow
Sun telling me never feed in the sorrow
Pay attention, cause these times are borrowed
Days is a maze, Is a lesson, it's a maze
It's a blessing it's a
Blessing we live today
We live today, live today
Live today, live today, live today
Live today live today, live today
Don't give it away
It away, it away, it away
Cause we live today
We live today, we live today, we live today
Life everlasting
Passion is extreme from dreams that we have
The path that we take the path that we make
We create from the one true
Yo, Some things we gotta undo, and unlearn
Taking turn to earn taking turn to burn
Taking things is firm
Firm in the mind and rewind them
We divide them out, divide them in
The way common sense and my man D hodge blend
We take it in like a breath
I can be the chef in the kitchen
While I'm switching
Up a different type of style
I'm a different child i gotta think faster
Got a task for everybody
Just to do just to live today
Just to live today
We live today for the present
Known and it's a blessing for our future
Giving thanks, for our ancestors in the past
Forgiveness for the transgressors
Cause we dance with the ancestors
Can turn the moment, into something he owns
Not just for him, but for them
To understand, this is peace of a man
Woman beside providing balance
So that we can do our best
With God's talents
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Live today, live today, live today
Live today live today, live today
Don't give it away
It away, it away, it away
Cause we live today
We live today, we live today, we live today
Today I'm known, today I'm born
New ways I'm going, new ways I'm growing
New ways I'm flowing
A form unknown from the corner is one stone
Coloring life with more than one tone
Nation embracing life's placements
Faces in places we in
The direction it's taking us in
Like the wind from a city
That's discovered by DuSable
Chicago taught me how to lead and to follow
My heart, even when it's hollow
I plant a seed for today
That believes in tomorrow
Sun telling me never feed in the sorrow
Pay attention, cause these times are borrowed
Days is a maze, Is a lesson, it's a maze
It's a blessing it's a
Blessing we live today
We live today, live today
Live today, live today, live today
Live today live today, live today
Don't give it away
It away, it away, it away
Cause we live today
We live today, we live today, we live today
Life everlasting
Passion is extreme from dreams that we have

I'm already infatuated with Glasper's Experiment and Trio, but to listen to this cut and hear that it is just as formidable and lives up to Glasper's challenge to create excellent music, I'm very impressed. I am a pro music student who never stops learning, and even though my operating genre is gospel, THIS is also music I eat and drink daily. So thank you, Derrick, for living up to the standard and creating another project to look up to. I hope to take what I am taking in through your music and translate it to gospel. Will it reach the masses? Stay tuned.

This version is slightly different from the actual album version, and I must say this version is my favourite. It must be a refined studio reference version
