Lyrics:
I am dreaming of a paradise
Somewhere a little Paris like where I wanna be
Let’s travel to the greener side
A lovely place inside my mind
Don’t you want to see
Imagine layers in the game where we all players
No more stargazing or police car chasing
Imagine life that bring us Lauryn Hill type of singers
Even the righteous schemers still let Christ redeem us
Life is greener on this side the beauty that we see
Be coming from inside
Imagine if you a God and she a goddess
My people get free locked up from weed charges
We no longer targets or bodies on the market
Clean water coming out of Flint’s faucets it’s awesome
Not being petty but got petty cash
Everything on the path we already have
Imagine having a woman like Betty Shabazz
Steady with class, ready to blast, til the chariots pass
To take me to my new destination
I think in miracles it’s my imagination
I am dreaming of a paradise
Somewhere a little Paris like where I wanna be
Let’s travel to the greener side
A lovely place inside my mind
Don’t you want to see
Imagine days divine no longer in a race with time
Every day we wake up is a day to shine
Imagine you could turn water to your favorite wine
And when you taking down your girl you can take your time
Imagine loving you enough you don’t need a like
Kids father’s in they life just to lead them right
No longer worried about sickness because we are eating right
Amanda Gorman’s poems, mantras that we recite
Imagine not being politically correct but spiritually direct still giving the respect
Imagine if you could change the world through song
No longer do we have to pay back school loans
Imagine in the hood doin our own renovations
Another way to keep the dollars circulating
Mountain tops of patience just to heal a nation
Since I was little I had a big imagination
I am dreaming of a paradise
Somewhere a little Paris like where I wanna be
Let’s travel to the greener side
A lovely place inside my mind
Don’t you want to see
Good times without no care
Won’t you let me take you there
Don’t you want to come with me
Don’t you want to come and see x2
#Common #ABeautifulRevolution #Imagine
Common doesn't get the props that he deserves. He makes great music. One of the goats imo.
Exactly!!
100% FACT and the way he has kept it real throughout the debacle hip hop and r&b has become since 2006 speaks volumes to me. Proof real music can still be made
@@1nfamous76 Dude doesn't compromise and he speaks on real things. I just want him to receive his flowers now.
@@CEEBrown couldn't agree more bro
ua-cam.com/video/yz95mLpz5Bs/v-deo.html
"imagine not being politically correct but spiritually direct and still giving you respect"... This man and his lyrics. A true artist
I felt that too when I first heard it 🔥🔥🔥
Facts Common a GOAT
Well said.
😎ua-cam.com/video/dCt_cvh4A2k/v-deo.html
I felt too, common is clear and direct to the point with his lyrics...
Imagine this song goes to number 1 on the charts
it really deserves to
It won't. Too positive.
ua-cam.com/video/ChybvSkbv3E/v-deo.html #ImagineParadise
Awe it should
Charts are garbage 🗑
30yrs of top tier lyricism ‼️‼️… Good shit Rashid #Southside
PJs voice is fire
WORD!!!!!!!!
AND THEY CAN SAY WHATEVER ABOUT HIS DATING HABITS. RUMOR IS HE DATING JEFFIFER HUDSON NOW.
@@everleenrichardson1474 what does that have to do with anything? Lol
Common always on point
AlwYs
grab a plate soul food
He's just being, 'Spiritually direct, while still giving you respect'.
Almost 30 years later Common has maintained consistent quality
No. He hasn’t.
@@anonymouslakernerd7214 yes he has (if we forget "that" album)
@@nibyafternight1983 Lol! Which is "that" album?
Prolly talkin' Electric Circus
He's remained consistent cuz he's one of the most diverse mainstream hip hop artists to EVER do it.
Can give U street, soulful, thought provoking, imaginative, creative, inspirational, etc music.
He's in my top 5 of all time!!!
"imagine loving you enough, you don't need a like"...... Preach to these social media addicts
Social media is a form of connection. A more toxic form, unfortunately, but still a form of connection. This song is about love, and you decide to use it as an opportunity to hate someone else. But hey, I ain't mad at cha.
@@BeastNationXIV Oh wow... someone capable of expressing their thoughts on social media w/o shaming/putting down others in the process😮 Now, that's what I call a rarity!
@@BeastNationXIV how is he hating? Some people literally are addicted to social media, so much so, where it causes them to become depressed, lack self esteem and self confidence, etc
@@tajmahal8472 naw he ain't hating it's true social media got are youth most of people today are followers instead of leading everyone want to follow the trend instead of leading for themselves
@@ryanni4 facts
Black Anthem for Summertime..🙏🏽
Yes.
Just adopted it for the Latino community
Common’s catalog is soul food music. Always uplifting and full of wisdom
Imagine U A God and She A Goddess,
My Ppl Get Free, Locked Up from Weed Charges!!
🤟🏾💨🎇🗝️🪙💯🖤
Well said and very true
Imagine if hiphop was consistently delivering this type of music….love it.
That will never happen. Rashid’s generation are the last of the conscious dudes
It will as we consistently support the work of the artist making the music.
This is such a beautiful song, no one does soulful hip hop like Common.
Word UP!
ua-cam.com/video/tlc1ygXk4E8/v-deo.html
Omg😲
Fun fact: Same sample as JAY-Z - IMAGINARY players and this is called IMAGINE
ua-cam.com/video/xl3VArYU2T8/v-deo.html
Absolutely right
Imagine if
*this was everybody's jam.*
Imagine if..everyone who is listening spread the message of love and peace, kindness of humanity knows no bounds ❤🙌✌
It’s our jam. That’s good enough for me.
*One could only Dream...* lol. If more people on the mass scale heard this, and enjoyed it - music could finally get back to its roots.. Because people would once again support artists who make music from the heart 💙✌🏾🎨⛅
It's my jam
ua-cam.com/video/xl3VArYU2T8/v-deo.html
Can this man be studied at schools because his floetry is still crisp
Awe mtshepana
Dumela ra
@@tshepomotshepana7635 he has been studied
Not soon tho, hiphoppers only get studied when they die, and Mr Lynn is in wonderful shape, and will stay like that for decades
@@AndreiBerezin He must be studied now by artists that need to improve their taste
After all these years common is still Chicago lyrical warrior🔥
Say that! Couldn’t have said it better
been listening to Common since the 90's. one of the most underrated artist/poet.
He deserves so much credit! One of the best in my book
I agree 💯
Give Common his flowers while he's still here, one of the dopest MC's! Great vibes
For Real!!
And you will never hear this song on prime time radio! They have to keep the frequencies low, on demon time!! This is high vibrational music! It's for the soul, mind, and spirit 💯💯🔥
Exactly right
Preach
We lucky in UK I came across this brilliant track on BBC 6 .....in daytime!! This isn't the mainstream BBC station though. You are right this song should be heard by a much bigger audience.. Well said
And stay on repeat!
You already know brother.
Common is back again.... And again and again....
Conclusion: Class transcends time and trend.
Honestly, that should be onna shirt my man!!
CLASS
transcends
time and trends!
Exactly! 😁🥳
ua-cam.com/video/xl3VArYU2T8/v-deo.html
Ummm yall know common just swagger jacked the whole song from Nas " if I ruled the world " dont believe me listen to if I ruled the world...thank me later
"Imagine life that bring us Lauryn Hill type of singers
Even the righteous schemers still let Christ redeem us." Definition of a lyricist.
Classic hip hop. So many jewels dropped in just this one song.
Real Talk For Sure😊
Can’t stop repeating this track
Factz i feel the same way
Yep this joint butter
Same here
I feel ya bro!!! Bomb track 💯💯💯💯
i did the same thing bro. this is music
If you survived Covid or are still here remember life is a gift and its what you make it. Enjoy it its only a short one. To the loved ones we lost may they rest in paradise.
God Bless 🙏
Common is the purest MC of all time
Your comment sent me to Googleville to find out the true difference between a rapper and an MC.
"Since I was little I had BIG Imagination"... That hit home for me
Common is a man of class and of the people. Great song 👍
This Ladies & Gentlemen, is a Masterpiece.
Too bad it will never get played on the radio. At least "we"know what good music is.
For sure
Hearing this song now a days is like drinking fresh mountain water, when all you have is soda's!
Thank you Common for remaining a true hip-hop soul when all the a$ap's
.. and baby's.. are miming music!!!
Facts!! Very refreshing!!
You don't know what your saying at all and are just creating negativity in the comments of a positive song. Even common wouldn't agree with what u said
No he’s just stating facts. Most rappers are just industry clowns yapping about how brainwashed they are and lots of them can’t even actually r.a.p (rhyming with poetry) and the industry is even different from how it was in the 90s and early 2000s
@@r3b3lvegan89 it's better now. Anyone from any background can find a fanbase and support, much more versatility and the genre is constantly expanding.
Perfect metaphor 👊🏿
This is fantastic
Kirk PATRICK tony baker same thing i said crazy beat and dope flow!
Remastered this song good work big bro
Uuuuhhhhh Kirk Patrick!!!
@@bobbymiddleton5153 Nice song
Chicago’s bests! 😁🙌🏽
I've never heard of her before, Her voice is amazinggg 🥰 Common always making beautiful and meaningful music 🎶 💖
U R CORRECT
Pj -2 missed calls....is a whole bop!😊😊😊
Just how hip-hop should sound like. This song hits different. It's a different kind of vibe.. Thank you Mr. Common.
Everyday we wake up.Is a day to SHINE✊💪
Common and PJ together…is just good music ‼️
Common always inspires the masses with his music. He's definitely in the top 10 MC's of all times ✊🏾👑
Common makes music that will be relevant 100 years from now. He was rhymes about life. Music from the soul never dies. I definitely have Common in my top ten.
Most definitely
Sheesh this is great. A breath of fresh air.
Yep No Doubt
2023 am still listening this amazing song 🎵 😍
PJ’s voice is sweet and innocent sounding. You and Common are a great connection to giving the sounds of tranquility, uplift, and motivation. I know Greensboro, NC is proud of PJ. I am proud of you, feels like backyard homegirl. 220 South Greensboro Road brings me right into Greensboro (one of my frequent spots to shop and eat). Keep doing you, young lady!
ua-cam.com/video/xl3VArYU2T8/v-deo.html
Yeah. Been following PJ for a couple of years
Wow!! This beautiful Queen is from NC! She's very talented. I've heard other songs she did with Common yes she has a very nice voice.
You have such a profound impact on my operator that even the largest thank you text would fall short of expressing my gratitude. Thank you for your support❤❤❤
@@kennyglivechat9179 Thank you! Blessings always.
KING COMMON 👑
Who ever dislike this clearly don’t like real music this is fire 🔥
Real talk homie 💯
FACTS!!
Thank you. A song that I can jam too and also listen to with my children. Salute!
Now That's Powerful, even the children can listen without feeling guilty or disrespectful.
This is sooo relaxing to listen to and PJ has an angelic voice!!
This kind of music with this kind of message is the future.
You have such a profound impact on my operator that even the largest thank you text would fall short of expressing my gratitude. Thank you for your support❤❤❤

ua-cam.com/video/yz95mLpz5Bs/v-deo.html
My top 10 of all time him thought mos talib - nas - Pac pun - L
Common still on the top of his game.
Can't stop playing this beautiful rap song,it bring me so much positive energy .
This song made me smile so much… The whole time! And I love her smile. I hope she never gets rid of the gap in her teeth because it’s beautiful🥰
You got gap in yours too?
@@kiddiessecretecorner1msubs523 not really. I still think that they’re beautiful on many people
I had the exact same thought! I love different/quirky smiles so much 😀
teeth gaps are actually a beauty standard in certain cultures!!
I know because I have one, Greg3G Windows to the Soul
Every time I listen to Common I think “we can all fix this”. This man’s mind is precious.
This is beautiful. And PJ’s vibe soft tones.. nothing else is needed. Dope.
I've played this song more than 30 times for the last 24 hours
Me Too
Same
Thanks for your sincere compliment and love, I’m not complete without you as my Fan 🌹I have you to be most thankful for 🌹
Me too, every morning from the first time I heard it... my all time favorite feel-good jam!
@@judithwatson4828 Thanks for your beautiful love and support, I really do appreciate your love for me and my family. God bless you. I’m glad I could finally reach out to you all, I'm very happy chatting you here, but I hardly chat here cause of those imposter trying to be me on here to prevent them from breaking through my gadgets . I’ll like to activate you on my personal chat via WhatsApp (+17865652837) Thanks to you all and note without you I won’t be where I am today.. Thanks...😘😘
Common is for sure living by his name, because it's common for him to continue making hits. 🔥
Yes true talk sir
Common is so underrated. Pure talent 👏🏾 🙌🏾💪🏾💯
This joint has everything that this Generation is missing in HIP-HOP. Thanks for this Common. The Emotions in this song is real... Plus Emotion Beat.
They need a whole album together this too fire🔥💙💯
They do
Absolutely
@@queenmarie2756 seriously?!!
Much love from Botswana. This gives me eargasm.
Man I've read about Botswana tales. I've read about Bessie Head's "Heaven is not Closed" and the conflict between Christianity vs. Setswana tribe. India love to you brother 🇮🇳🙏
"From Inglewood to a single hood in Botswana" - Common
Feel it from Japan
@@jayc5756 "I feel the I in we my n*gga yours is my trauma. Standing in front of the judge with no honor, my raps ignite the people like obama"💯
Spiritual hip hop.....since Resurrection. One of the best duos ever.
Classy and authentic. Not overly glamourized but most importantly beautiful sound 👌
his music is timeless, his voice has feels, real sentiment, emotions, memories spirit, and most importantly the soul that he delivers
The Revolution Shall Be Televised!!
Common is a Top 5 MC of ALL TIME!! His lyrics and his bodies of work speak volumes for themselves! And PJ is so attractive and her voice is so Soulful. Yall (Common&PJ) should make another joint album. We surely do need some real GOOD music in these times!✊
In my top 3 but I absolutely agree with you.
I'd love a _Part III_ to the _Beautiful Revolution!_ One of his crowning achievements, if you ask me... him and Black Thought are two of the GOATs.
@@Jimmy1982Playlists I would love a song with Common and Andre 3000 . Wouldnt that make life so much better!!!
You're totally on point
The best
Psh this combo is something crazy. Couldn't ask for more.
Facts
man common has this smoothness when he raps
Idk why his last four albums/releases haven't been getting more attention, they're all incredible
Common stands on the shoulders of GIANTS.....thank you for good quality REAL hip hop.....
Whenever I think about a better life, bettering myself, my triumphs, my woes, my pain and strides; I always listen to Common. Just something about his words, rhythm, lyrics. How he enjoys his life and saying it can and would get better and go further.
Edit: I think I can make it a little further. I know I can. Just gotta keep moving.
One the most sincere & most CONSISTENT artists that we are forever blessed to hear 🙏🏽 This is beautiful, goosebumps kinda beautiful!! THANK YOU COMMON 🇿🇦
Common is the truth. 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
I wish my students could listen to this and ‘Imagine’ the possibilities!
Always positive VIBE with common. Another reason I love this man! RESPECT always. One love
A beautiful and amazing Song full of Love, Sun and Soul.
Common is so Great.
Simply Love him 🤜♥️🤛
He did it again.. they sleep on common 🔥🔥🔥 hip hop nigga..
Another MASTERPIECE.... Common has never stopped blessing us with what we need to hear.
This man doesnt age, one of my fav artist, never sold soul.
You don’t know what he did or didn’t do...because the fact that he still in the industry and making movies tells it all. I like common but YES he did sellout back then . Stop being ignorantly blind just because you like an artist
He make a sell out album back in 2008 I think
Unquestionably my favourite old skool Hip Hop arist. Been buying his music since 1994 - "I used to love her" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The songstress is absolutely Gorgeous 😍😍😍😍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Common dropping knowledge and Pj's soothing beautiful voice 💕
I can see this man winning a Nobel Peace Prize
Even if he doesn't, he's won something way more deeper n more valuable, and that's the masses hearts, our hearts.
Nothing but feel good music for that ear drum! Props to common for always bringing positivity and light!🙏🏾
Wise songs like this will never make airtime because it’s positive. But, my fellow brothers and sisters sacrificing for good over money is the way of God. Come on common keep spitting positive lyrics!
“Imagine loving you enough you don't need a like” ❤
REAL HIP-HOP. POSITIVE BARS
Soulfull... Listening from Jamaica 🇯🇲. She sounds like one of our local Reggae artiste Etana... Good Music.
What a beautiful, soulful song with a very strong nostalgic feeling.
..because this is a rip off of nas " if I ruled the world " even the vocals are the same as Lauryn hill not the words but the concept...listen ti nas if I ruled the world
Why do people sleep on good music like this? But instead gravitate to the negative stereotype of music???
She has such a nice and beautiful voice! This song sounds like heaven
It’s time we start putting the word Legend on his name, consistently great lyrical depth and flow
"Kid's fathers in they life just to lead em right!" THIS. We need this. Yes, King! ✊🏽❤💪🏽
Thank you for making music that matters sir this is the music that will transcend generations and give people a clear view of the times we living in while blessing the next generation with view points to consider and lean on let love live and let love lead you always bless.
Th ank you for your love❤️❤️ and support for me and my career🎼🎸, I hope that you will not stop supporting me😊
Heaven on Earth. Change the Times, Change the Rules!
HOLY SHIT. HE’s BACK
Common never left been doing it. Mans catalog is legendary GOAT by all means at this point and timeless
*Beautiful!* 😊🙏🏾 Common manages to stay consistent after all these years, yet every song still sounds *REFRESHING!*
Inspirational indeed... Peace & Love 💙✌🏾🎨⛅
This is soulful.. nobody does it like common.. I can hear this over and over 👏👏👏🙏
Always been a true legend & pure artist, hardly gets his roses. Those who truly cherish his greatness know & relate. OG
Now this is the type of music that we need now and days in life fr...Salute "Common" great deliverance✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾Love the positive energy that you give everytime🙌🏾🙌🏾💖☀️☀️☀️👁️
Great to see that somebody can still do such amazing hip hop songs
Holy shit ! Here come the heroes of earth !!! Salute warrior , this is what this world needs right now !!!
Mad respect Mr. Common
This man is dropping gold consistently. * applause *
Still here in 2023 slappin. It's a shame his music never got the recognition it truly deserves
CMN still got it casually spitting bars like nothing. Not sure how many rappers could have made that sound so effortless but direct.
Common always been dropping these profound lyrical classics
Sampling Jay-Z's Imaginary Playas then writing about Imagining is underrated here to me
🎯🎯🎯
Both Jay-Z and Common have sampled Rene & Angela's classic 1981 song Imaginary Playmates.
@@IvyProsper yeah. haha. this is Rene & Angela, not Jay Z lol. I laughed at that one.
Imagine if you knew this wasn't a Jay Z song but a Rene & Angela sample
@@allpositivenetwork my point stands I was keeping it hip hop. Just as he is using a Nas type flow too from If I Ruled the World, "Imagine smoking weed in the streets without cops harassin'
Imagine going to court with no trial"
I'm hip tho people lol
Heard this of Affions live...
This on that “ Like Water for Chocolate “ Vibe 🔥🔥🔥 drop that vinyl, King
Be Finding Forever.
Music with meaning, NOT just another song. Much respect to Common.
Man, you have always been on another level. There is no Neo Soul without you, Badu, The Roots, Talib, HI tek, black eyed peas (bridging the gap) and so many more. Thank you❤
PJ Is Such a beauty. Common as it may sound, he's uncommonly common.
