I started digging into parts of myself that I probably ignore and don't really get to express because Common is an artist that is conscious and is aware and is trying to put a positive energy to the world.
CommonWe obviously feel destiny and purpose and do what we do, but within that are ways to help others and to inspire others and to support and encourage people.

CommonBlack people in America have come from slavery to other forms of being oppressed and there are some things that come with that - some pain and anger that come with that and we as black people have to deal with it to heal that. White people have to understand it and have some compassion toward it.
