Semtex goes over the 8 out of 10 songs he heard off of Com’s latest effort, Invincible Summer. One particular song addresses what Common’s been speaking about for years, from Jada’s Why remix, to just last year’s The People:

CHANGES: Common said that he hoped that this would be the victory anthem for when Barack Obama is elected President so you can guage what this joint is about. This is a very inspirational song. Common’s daughter recites the poem at the end of the track too.

Bush pushing lies, killers immortalized
We got arms but won’t reach for the skies
Waiting for the Lord to rise
I look into my daughter’s eyes
And realize that I’ma learn through her
The Messiah, might even return through her
If I’ma do it, I gotta change the world through her
- Common’s BE Intro
