I always hated how streaming services like Tidal and Apple don’t have this version. Always thought this was better than Part 2 with Macy Gray. Thanks for uploading this
This original version was on the album at first but then Dangelo and Common had a falling out which made Common take him off and put Macy Gray on with a different beat.
This is the best version of this song. The other version just doesn't compare. I've been listening to this joint since the album first came out and I can feel this song in my soul.
This track is the straight TRUTH!!!! It was on original album but after couple years they put MACY's version on it. Always thought this was the better version ( no disrespect to Macy). Glad we are finally able to enjoy it again......Straight CLASSIC!!!!!
It's 5:54 a.m. woke up needing to hear this record. This takes me back to the year 2000. I went to prison a few months later for almost three years. Life was never the same again. R.I. P. Mom. Big up to Common once called Common Sense. God Bless.!😌👏
This was originally going to be on "Voodoo" but D traded Quest "Chicken Grease" (which was originally going to be on LWFC) for this one. That whole run of albums the Soulquarians did was just magic captured in the studio. Absolutely incredible stuff.
So vibey!!! This was always the better version!! The beat is so soulful. D’angelo vocals captures the vibe and colors the track gracefully. Perfect track ride to
Clifford Ryan beautiful album Dilla produced a couple of songs so did Dj Premier top 5 album of all time in my eyes it’s up there with Slum Village Fantastic Vol 2 and Tribe Midnight Maurders album
Probably the best album from one of my fav MCs. Just downloaded album on Rhap and it had horrible remix w/ Macy Gray-ab brutal. D’Angelo version hits your soul
Daniel Medford he made a beat that was never released but it sounded a lot like this. Just search up “J Dilla Working on his MPC3000” and you would hear that beat
Dangelo helped me bcum the man I am today.. uplifting an inspiring an encouraging thank you for this record common doing it easily as always with his poetic mind in heart. Yall blessed us

I like this better than Macy. Sorry, but this is the one I fell in love with. Puts me in a different place. I remember when I bought this, but I'm still finding new places inside my head whenever I hear this.
Idk whose idea and decision it was to replace this here version with part two, but they FUCKED UP. I still have LWFC original CD, but only the Macy Gray version is on Spotify 😒
I remember playing this song on repeat when i was around 12-13. This song really became the song i play when im really stressed. It always calmed my mind and spirit. Also, common and I have the same birthday #PiscesGang
was listening to geto heaven pt.2 thinking how good it was then I remembered this version exists and is even better, shit this whole album doesn't even have one mediocre song.

Dillas on another level. Glad him and Common did a lot together.

@@LIG87 Guaranteed Dilla Influenced It...
I knew I saw your name before.

so much better than the Macy Gray remix!
And this version is not on the album on tidal smh
Facts this version so much better
I like both but this version does hit harder than the Macy Gray remix. Much respect to both versions!!!
Well the Macy version was my introduction, but my man D'Angelo makes this one hit deep.
Macy Gray can't sing!

Yeah I remember by the original as well but when I got the digital version it has pt 2. I liked this version better. Glad it's on here.

Facts! Do you know why it was replaced?
Aaron Jaunty remix version
Common is one of the greatest underrated artists ever
"A thug is a lost man in disguise" that line will make you think.
Remember Neal Gem.

Facts
This hit, and Dangelo's Africa was recorded in the same studio, in the same year!!! Unbelievable!!
D'Angelo wrote this song.
Electric Lady Studios. Legendary
This was originally going to be on "Voodoo" but D traded Quest "Chicken Grease" (which was originally going to be on LWFC) for this one.
That whole run of albums the Soulquarians did was just magic captured in the studio. Absolutely incredible stuff.
@@DoubleRDubGaming💯💯💯💯
@@DoubleRDubGamingthe bass line on chicken grease 🔥
Common gets slept on, he was always real
I never did
FACTS
He ain’t real anymore he supports pedophiles these days
So vibey!!! This was always the better version!! The beat is so soulful. D’angelo vocals captures the vibe and colors the track gracefully. Perfect track ride to
04:11 "Can't imagine going through it without soul music"
Amen
that snare and cymbal on the drop
Dilla produced this. King of the snare.
it's actually d'angelo, questlove and james poyser on the production, but im sure they all had dilla in their minds
Best common song, probably one the best songs I have ever heard
The production and vocals make me want to cry
Find love in yourself ✊🏿
This one gives me a good feeling, that's what music is supposed to do ✊🏿
FIND HEAVEN IN YOURSELF AND GOD!!! BLOW MY MIND TO BITS!!!
I just want to hug my Aunty when i hear this one R.I.P
the creativity of the song stands out this cd should have won the grammy we all know how that go he finally did get one tho
Clifford Ryan beautiful album Dilla produced a couple of songs so did Dj Premier top 5 album of all time in my eyes it’s up there with Slum Village Fantastic Vol 2 and Tribe Midnight Maurders album
One of my favorite albums, this was underrated. ❤
Reminiscing on glorious era of Hip hop. Soulquarians delivered Magic on this album. This Will go down as One of the best Hip hop album of all time.
Going through a storm anyone can seem warm" so many gems in this one...Peace.
Forever a classic
Something about this song while driving thru a storm, just put your state of mind in a new realm!!! Classic joint!!!
Probably the best album from one of my fav MCs. Just downloaded album on Rhap and it had horrible remix w/ Macy Gray-ab brutal. D’Angelo version hits your soul
The Macy version is sweet but Part 2 is one of the greatest songs of the 2000s
What a spiritual song...this music is so much bigger than me.. Hip Hop saved me
This is when JDilla was Jay Dee Jay Dee was always my favorite he was more soulful
This gotta be Dilla on the beat...AMAZING!
:o) // it is....
This isn’t a Dilla beat. I’m sure he inspired it tho.
Questlove, D'Angelo and James Poyser on the beat.
Daniel Medford he made a beat that was never released but it sounded a lot like this. Just search up “J Dilla Working on his MPC3000” and you would hear that beat
ThaMizphit74 don’t forget Pino Palladino on bass
Commons 2nd verse is pure poetry
Dangelo helped me bcum the man I am today.. uplifting an inspiring an encouraging thank you for this record common doing it easily as always with his poetic mind in heart. Yall blessed us
Beautiful music. One of the best tracks on the album.
I feel this through my bones
I heard this once in college in 2007 and couldn't find it for the longest. Thought it was the myth for a while. Thx for the upload
2020 this song is still RELEVANT
You dont know how long I been looking for this version...💯💯💯classic
I never stop loving this song! It’s such a powerful vibe 😍
So mad spotify ain't got this mix
2021 and I'm still in Geto Heaven
J Dilla gets into you.
man this chit sound so dam good in 2017 wheeeew pure dopeness to this date!!!!!
Dammm this album is Fuego.
I hope Common comes out with something like this again before his time due.. spark that Blunt n chill to this .🙌🙌
I feel you! Watching him do these MS commercials, I look and think "Common, this ain't you!"
Wow! Bought this in 2000. Always remembered the House version of Geto Heaven.
Manners and Respect KINGS peace love wisdom LIGHT
Searchin for a love, throughout the ghetto
Young girls is thick, righteousness is narrow
I got my third, I want the sparrow
Want my peoples straight and rock sweet apparrel
The mother of my child, we not together
Baby it's your back, I got forever
As the weather, talks to us
Him rockin the Holy Spirit walks through us
The blunted eyes of the youth search for a guide
A thug is a lost man in disguise
The rise and fall, of a nation, even when the buildings tumble
I still stand tall, I walk through the valley, wit a life preserver
Feelin at times, that I might just murder
Yo but that aint what I was sent for
I want folks to say his life it meant more
Than ?any ca, any ba ca? any broad
He found Geto Heaven in himself and God
Geto Heaven...
Standin in some Geto Heaven
Geto Heaven...
Standin in some Geto Heaven
Geto...
Love, your happiness don't begin wit a man
Strong woman, why should you depend on a man
I understand you want a man that's resourceful
If he pay your bills, he feel like he bought you
Talkin to a friend, about what love is
Her man didn't love her, cuz he didn't love his
Hugged her from afar, said what I felt
You never find a man, till you find yourself
Time helps mistakes, you can learn from
Cuz one man fucked up men you shouldn't turn from
You want a certain type of guy, gotta reach a certain point too
At the destination, a king will annoint you
Goin through the storm, many bodies stay warm
That relationship died, for you to be born, you worth more
Than anything you could cop in a store
For you to grow he had to go so what you stoppin him for
Not even I could ignore bein alone it's hard
Find heaven in yourself and God
I know I love my baby
My baby loves me
I'm layin in some heaven, need a little company, yeah
It's twenty four seven, time to get some Geto Heaven
Time to get some Geto Heaven
Geto Heaven, Geto Heaven
It's time to get some Geto Heaven
Time to get some Geto Heaven, ohhhhhh...
This music is so much bigger than me
As far as happy, yo it's like a trigger to me
Dealin with crab rappers, and groupie broads
Record execs, at times it do be hard
But to choose words, and be heard across waters
Doin something you like to support daughters
Keepin your guys who collectin court orders
Conveyin messages that the ancestors brought us
Thought of things to say to become the end thing for the day
Somehow, that didn't seem the way for me to make it
Music is a gift that is sacred
I hope you didn't use it hopin you could grow to it
Whether servin or a surgeon, you gon go through it
Can't imagine goin through it, without soul music
It's like Donnie Hath' helped me see Lonnie's path
On my behalf, let's take whole steps to Imhotep
And show depth, as we make people nod
Find heaven in this music and God
Find heaven in this music and God
Find heaven in this music and God
Geto Heaven
Geto Heaven
Geto Heaven, yeah, yeah
Geto Heaven, my baby
Geto Heaven, my baby
Geto Heaven, my baby
Geto Heaven, my baby
Geto Heaven, my baby...
I like this better than Macy. Sorry, but this is the one I fell in love with. Puts me in a different place. I remember when I bought this, but I'm still finding new places inside my head whenever I hear this.
Say word!!
Don't need to bash Macy to lift up D'Angelo they're both great lol
This version is just more soulful.
Man I love everything about this song. The beat is so mad 🔥
Idk whose idea and decision it was to replace this here version with part two, but they FUCKED UP. I still have LWFC original CD, but only the Macy Gray version is on Spotify 😒
Even when D is off-key it brings chills, tears and whatever way I can to make a situation better.
I messed around and lost the original CD with this version. I wonder what possessed them to replace this classic.
This is my favorite Common song. It speaks truth. Wish this was the song on all the media outlets. Only on here can anyone find this song.
I wish this version had a video. Far better than Macy's, no disrespect. So much more soul ❤
My cat always chills out whenever I play this song. Music got healing in it fr 🙏🙌
Day gets so heavy, need a lil company.
This was on the original release.
Thank you for the upload.
This hits deep.
I remember playing this song on repeat when i was around 12-13. This song really became the song i play when im really stressed. It always calmed my mind and spirit. Also, common and I have the same birthday #PiscesGang

True

Dilla at his best! Like always
This song has got me through the struggle!
So underrated. I get emotional every time I listen to it.
The hood, slums, projects, gutter, geto anthem.
biggest song on the album IMO
This is How music should be now and days u feel me we gotta make a change for this depressing world yah we gotta take a stand word up.
This is the version I prefer
common is the realest
My baby loves me...
Hottttttttt. Fireeeeee.
You can tell how being commercial funnier music just by the fact that Pt 2 is on streaming and has a music video because this is WAY more soulful
This shit be rockin... still can't touch this one💪💪💪💪💪💪💪common sense 🤷
Thank you for this perfect gem
There are about ten songs give or take that make me tear up.. this about # 7
Cosign. Every single time
Common is the Jay Z of Conscious rap. Dude in my top 5 for sure
