this is damn fresh
great verse from Com, the rest… a lil corny. But still diggin the other songs and lookin forward to the release!
The lyrics sound like an after school special song.
RIP Mr Teddy Pendergrasss
PPL Don’t know Malachi Z York penned this ballad.
this is really corny…No dissrespect but I am not feeling this. John Legend is not doing anything good for The Roots.
This actually sounds amazing, great arrangement/production.The vocal shit is well corny……probably needs to be seen within the context of the project though and in terms of that, hats off to them!!
Common’s verse sucks. He must be bored of using the same words/rhetoric for the last 15 yrs!!
ME GUSTA EL QUESO U LIKE CHESSE ?
Classic soul, baby. There’s nothing like it. Common and Ms. Fiona are a nice addition.
that was beautiful thing to wake up to this ..sunday morning!!!!!
good ! good ! good !
This is not corny incase you didnt know this is a remake of the song by Harold Melvin and the Blue notes with Teddy Pendergrass-get your facts right before critisizing…beautiful retake of this classic song.
I’ll be honest that is good news
Gotta love my man Com, but Black Thought is one of the greatest and gets better every day. Shoulda let him bring the wisdom on this one.
sorry but Comm’s verse is nice(period)
Love the vibe. great way to start the day off for sure.

This is SO REFRESHING!!!!!!!!! Common,… ahh yes…. The Roots ,John Legend and Melanie Fiona classic!!! But why NO verse from Tariq aka Riq Geez aka Black Thought aka Philly’s finest Emce!!!!!??????!!???
the lyrics are corny/sounds like an after school special song…
wow the ignorance of this and other generations.
try some education.
to lol@thelittlekids—this is an old song redone from the 60′s, maybe you should get some education
Im feeling the song…great remake. I really didnt see anything Boring or corny about commons verse at all.
Don’t think it was tight in the past nor in the future.
Com verse cool.
Dip the song in dirt and it might have some texture.
