Common Sense – Ant Clemons (feat. D Smoke & Maeta)
By
If we turned off the news, and we turned our tongues We would hear what Marvin said, and we’d see what’s goin’ on (On, on, on) If we changed point of views, maybe then we could save a heart If we had common sense, we could fix what’s goin’ on What if I hurt when my brother hurt? (Hurt) What if I cry when my mother cry? (Cry) What if I showed you heaven on earth? Would you believe in paradise? But if we changed our perspectives? (Ooh) What if we changed our perspectives? (Ooh) But if we switched our perspectives? Would you believe in paradise, ‘dise?
Dice don’t always roll the way you want ’em to You played that cards you was dealt with Been a star before they noticed you Switch your perspective, you would Never leave this paradise
But if we changed our perspectives? (Ooh) What if we changed our perspectives? (Ooh) But if we switched our perspectives? Would you believe in paradise? If we turned off the news, and we turned our tongues If we had common sense, we could fix what’s goin’ on (Yeah)
Ooh, heaven, ooh You trigger my nerves and tickle my fancy, what if true brethren knew? That we got more alike than the stars at night and the blue heaven hue Seen more than a few miracles Was made in His image so you’re my reflection, guess you’re my true mirror’s view Now what if I looked at you and saw myself? What would I call myself? Evidence of an intelligent maker, I may look at God myself If I could see my truth right through your pair of eyes Perhaps I’d believe in that true paradise
What if I hurt when my brother hurt? (Hurt) What if I cry when my mother cry? (Cry) What if I showed you heaven on earth? Would you believe in paradise? But if we changed our perspectives? (Ooh) What if we changed our perspectives? (Ooh) What if we switched our perspectives? Would you believe in paradise? (‘Dise) If we turned off the news, and we turned our tongues We would hear what Marvin said, and we’d see what’s goin’ on If we had common sense, we could fix what’s goin’ on
