This song serves as the finale for Be. Common’s message here is that no matter where you came from, you can still fulfill all the potential the world has to offer – if you stay true to yourself and your passions, and remain hopeful for the future. Features singer Bilal on the hook, and Common’s father, Lonnie “Pops” Lynn, performs a spoken word piece as he’s often done for his son to end the album. Along with “Love Is…”, these were the only songs on the album to be produced by J Dilla. Dilla builds the core of this beat around a sample of “Share What You Got, Keep What You Need” by The Modulation.
