Listen with headphones on! Don't miss a beat word or rhythm! Orchestral, powerful, prophetic, funky and majestic! Thank you, Common and Macy Gray!!! Bravo!!!!
I'll never forget when i was younger we use to let the radio play while we were sleeping and they would play this song around the same time every night. and i would always wake up out my sleep to jam for a lil while lol. this song just got that night time vibe
That reminds me of a erica badu song called other side of the game i used to lay on my sister floor at night waiting on it to come on and they would play it at the same time every night
Cant even argue with dat, I cant lie though my list changes now and then bcuz music is so diverse, i cant really create a set list! but my top 5 right now is, 2pac, Andre 3000, Nas, Biggie, Common.
For me: DOOM, Andre 3k, Kendrick, Common, Mos Def. I appreciate Biggies and Pacs Talent and legacy, however I can’t bring myself to really enjoy their music. RIP tho
"Whether serving or a surgeon you gone go through it, can't imagine going through it without soul music" "It's like Donny Hath helped me see Lonnie's path" Those two lines are deep as hell they pick me up when I'm down.
Throwback! I miss this type of hip hop. These days I get excited when common, talib kweli, mos def, Q-tip, little brother, elzhi, 9th wonder etc drop albums.

This is one of the most beautiful songs I ever hear....that relationship died for u to be born.....for you to grow he had to go so what u stopping him for. I fell in love with Common after I heard this song.
One of my fav cuts and videos from Common. Loved the original, but I like this version better. The original had a more melancholy feel, but this track is hopeful and inspiring. I miss this energy from Com.
Common is beyond talented. Shame he isn't as recognised as other artists that don't even have a tenth of his skillz!!! :D I love him anyway!! And this is one of my fav tracks of his!!! Good memories!!!
His voice & universe are so rich... I don't see any duality in his eyes actually I guess that's what an emcee was meant to be. Strong, confident & inspiring. The filthy sh*t we're fed nowadays.. it's a shame bro
I used to play the part two version of this song. I used play it often when I was stressed out and my anxiety would be triggered my freshman year of college. I would throw my headphones in, crank this up and tone every thing out. It gave goosebumps but also made me feel calm and warm. Idk but this song brought me real peace
This song gave me alot of clarity when it first came out! This was real hip hop, Common is one of my favorites and it did him justice with the legendary Macy Gray! Just her vocals and the hook made this a serious vibe! The choreography was excellent 💯🌙🌛
Common is such an intelligent and down to earth lyricist...love the way his mind works..and having the likes of Macy Gray on this was absolutely brilliant....
I miss when music sounded like this.
Best comment ever. . .
It really wasn't that long ago, but how fast things changed it feels like another lifetime...
Go listen to Lamar or Kanye
wrong with you?
Me too
The last generation of rap to have a soul. There’s underdogs out there now but they get little to no attention at all.
When music from 20 years ago is better that’s today’s music🎵
Ghetto heaven IS Zion on earth. I used to live there, in my heart I still do.
Listen with headphones on! Don't miss a beat word or rhythm! Orchestral, powerful, prophetic, funky and majestic! Thank you, Common and Macy Gray!!! Bravo!!!!
One of my favorites! He's so under-rated.

Common arguably in the top 5 mc's of all time
not it any order, but my opinion. Tupac, Biggie, Nas, Big L , Scarface.
Cant even argue with dat, I cant lie though my list changes now and then bcuz music is so diverse, i cant really create a set list! but my top 5 right now is, 2pac, Andre 3000, Nas, Biggie, Common.

Love your happiness don't begin with a man.....find heaven in yourself and God
I stil remember like today when this video premiered on MTV2, December 2000.
damn it's been 15 years?
been a while, I was 14 in my mom's apt.....we had gotten cable again lol
ayyyye the real struggle...i remember watching videos on this channel called THE BOX MUSIC TELEVISION when we had no cable lol. real 80s baby shit
I know right, same here I wish I would go back to the 90s and early 00s.
Dope times!
Happy birthday to Common. 3. 13 Here is to our Oscar winning teacher Please continue to share your knowledge Find Heaven in yourself and God

Throwback! I miss this type of hip hop. These days I get excited when common, talib kweli, mos def, Q-tip, little brother, elzhi, 9th wonder etc drop albums.
One of my favorite songs... Just remember having this on my headphones walking in Manhattan... Such a peaceful song...
Gold Lensed Aviators, Leather Jacket/ Vest, Blue Bell Bottom Jeans, & Chuck Taylor Converse.
Mannnn come on with the ghetto heaven with macy gray on the track bro. I really loved this song still listening 11/15/23
How in the world does this song have dislikes??
Legendary the Poet because people hate on Macy. This version is just as good as the D’Angelo feature.
Probably fans of the 'family stand' version.... The originators of the song. Who knows....
This one is just as good as the one with D'angelo, actually I heard this version first. People are haters
It is absolutely not better than the version with D'Angelo
It has dislikes because the internet is plagued by haters like ticks on a stray dog
Damn near 20 years Old. Damn... I remember this like it was 5 minutes ago. I'm old...
Bruh ... i was in sixth grade i was 11 .. im 30 now i feel you
2020. Thnx I remembered this song and I found it again!
So smooth,fresh and Clean,thumbs up if u still listen to this in 2020!

2000 2001 if i can remember
His best album...wow. this beat!!! Come on 2020....learn from your musical father's of hip hop...
This is one of the most beautiful songs I ever hear....that relationship died for u to be born.....for you to grow he had to go so what u stopping him for. I fell in love with Common after I heard this song.
I miss THIS COMMON..and the days when music still had something to say
This brotha is so cool!!
Can't stop listening to this
Also listen to the original "GHETTO HEAVEN" by the Family Stand. It's totally different and equally wonderful...
Most underrated MC of all time
One of my All Time Favourite tracks
Exactly what I need during this pandemic! Love common and Macy gray!
The flute harmonies at chorus end :)
Goddamn this a fire joint
This video inspired me to become a photographer! Thank you Common!
i lOvE Dis And Macy Gray did DAt
One of my fav cuts and videos from Common. Loved the original, but I like this version better. The original had a more melancholy feel, but this track is hopeful and inspiring. I miss this energy from Com.
Common his so soul and knowledge in him this why I love his music cause he's speaks it from the heart
I love you Common and Macy!!❤️❤️😊😊
This song stays gold.
165,000 views is a horrible understatement of how good this song actually is.
2020 are we still jamming??
Hell yeahhh
one of the most underrated songs I know that second verse was straight truth
Common is beyond talented. Shame he isn't as recognised as other artists that don't even have a tenth of his skillz!!! :D I love him anyway!! And this is one of my fav tracks of his!!! Good memories!!!
chi-town swag
His voice & universe are so rich... I don't see any duality in his eyes actually
I guess that's what an emcee was meant to be. Strong, confident & inspiring.
The filthy sh*t we're fed nowadays.. it's a shame bro
2:38 ❤️
I love this song! This was one of common's best to me!
As a kid I didn't listen to the words but I loved this song, still do.
The video is so beautiful.
Been a while since I listened to this jam
Common was preaching that shit. Classic.
Music still rock because of this dude
Still a banger in 2018!
I love this cut, Common really rocks it. Plus, this was the first time Macy Gray sounded good to me, it was great use of her unique sound.
Try listen to Marcy's track called "I Try " you will love her more!
Macy fits in like a piece to a puzzle......this is excellence.
I used to play the part two version of this song. I used play it often when I was stressed out and my anxiety would be triggered my freshman year of college. I would throw my headphones in, crank this up and tone every thing out. It gave goosebumps but also made me feel calm and warm. Idk but this song brought me real peace
Love Common music and this is one of my favorite songs!
Thank you! Classic Common was so much more soulful to me.

This song gave me alot of clarity when it first came out! This was real hip hop, Common is one of my favorites and it did him justice with the legendary Macy Gray! Just her vocals and the hook made this a serious vibe! The choreography was excellent 💯🌙🌛
