The revolution will not be televised </br>The revolution is here - Common

Never looking back, or too far in front of me. The present is a gift, and I just wanna be.

Took a picture of the truth and tried to develop it </br>Had proof, but it was only recognized by the intelligent </br>Took the negative and positive, cause niggas got to live </br>Said I got to get more than I'm given </br>Cause truth'll never be heard in religion </br>After searching the world, on the inside what was hidden?</br>It was the truth

I went to the movies — it was Kanye, myself and John Mayer, and we went to see "Ray." We were watching it, and I was just inspired by the movie, just as a musician and as an artist, I felt inspired. We left there and went straight to the studio. Kanye started cooking up this beat and started doing this chant, like, "Go, go, go," and while we were sitting there thinking what to write, John Mayer said, "You could write about your fantasy." And I was like, "Am I going to let John Mayer come up with the concept for this joint? This is hip-hop." But John Mayer is a very talented brother and you don't know where your blessings are going to come from. He was singing, and we made him a sample on it, going 'Go.' So it all came together and now we have the song 'Go!,' which is about going to my fantasy.
