Cover art for Be (Intro) lyrics by Common

i believe the song simply discusses how he wants to be free from the burdens of everyday life.Whether it is war , drugs , the future of hip hop , we must not let these things bring us down . That one must not worry about the past , nor focus too much on what the future holds , but instead realize that the present is a blessing and that we must cherish it
