The opening verse on “Glory” by Common is nothing short of perfection. His delivery, message, and flow blend seamlessly with the drumless instrumental, evoking an overwhelmingly inspirational sensation.
Hands to the Heavens, no man, no weapon
Formed against, yes glory is destined
Every day women and men become legends
Sins that go against our skin become blessings
Flawless execution. I get chills just spitting this part.
That’s why Rosa sat on the bus
That’s why we walk through Ferguson with our hands up
When it go down we woman and man up
They say, “Stay down”, and we stand up
Shots, we on the ground, the camera panned up
King pointed to the mountain top and we ran up
The imagery is so powerful, it makes you feel as though you’re marching alongside Dr. King in Washington, 1963. Check out this masterpiece below
