Common - G.O.D. (GAINING ONE'S DEFINITION) (featuring Cee-Lo)

[Birdiewantstofly]

Can someone tell me where could I find the instrumental of this song?



[iraqi4ever1234]

I have respect for this man, he respects all religion like Islam.

[ashmeetj]

FUCK Drake.

[Felixdidit]

This shit dope...

[CAW118]

damn i wish ceelo put a style in his verse then this song wud be golden

[91Definite]

@CAW118 Yeah i felt his verse isn't as much "hit home" though...I like Common's verse and the beat that's all..I give cee lo props though. I believe he should've been on the chorus and another person (other than cee lo) do a verse. Common could've brung another person on the song..

[Heat0nMyFeet]

can someone tell me the meaning behind the elders and trumpets metaphor at the end of the first verse?



[MrMrChumpy]

@Heat0nMyFeet its related to the book of revalation in the bible. hes sayin either way the bible and quran have some structure or level of authority (if you will) in the paradise they mention. This song explains how i feel about religion especially when Com said "Who am I or they to say to whom you pray ain't right"

[eddierob]

@Heat0nMyFeet 144,000 people will be chosen to go into heaven according to some faiths like jehova's witness, not sure tho

[eddierob]

@Heat0nMyFeet I believe that is a jehova's witness reference that 144,000 people will be able to go to heaven

[OldschoolTypeSoul1]

@eddierob It is from the Jehovah Witnesses about the 144,000 (Revelation 14:1). When Jesus said he would be preparing a place for the ones chosen by Jehovah to rule in the heavens (John 14:2) he called them a little flock (Luke 12:32). The Apostle Paul wrote in Corithinians 15:51-55 that only some will not have to suffer death and will be risen up as spirit creatures (angels).

[OldschoolTypeSoul1]

@eddierob As for the rest of faithful manking they will be live on earth in a paradise (Psalms 37:9,10; Mattheew 5:5). As for the dead they will be resurrected and after Armageddon (Acts 24:15). And by the way, Earth won't be destroyed in Armageddon like all the other "Churches" are teaching for Jehovah promised that he created the Earth to habited (Isaiah 45:18). For the people that stay faithful after the 1000 years of judgment they will have everlasting life (Revelation 21:3,4).
