Any combination of Common & D'Angelo or Common & Dilla is bound to be good vibes. Even better when it's all three of them in one!! They make quite the trio ---- musical bliss.
This song got me through a lot of days during my college years. Now a Deacon, it was like my gospel for that time. Common is still teaching, still leading in true hip hop. Can't get enough. Peace and blessings.
I listened to it when I was a kid. Although i didn't understand the lyrics cognitively, the spirit in me understood it. That's the power of real music.
Your exactly right Music hits you in the Soul First before we understand the meaning, But Living Life Reveals it too Us, Artist are the Divine Poets that God uses to bring us the Message of Love of Self
Love, your happiness don't begin with 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 Talking to a friend, about what love is Her man didn't love her, cause 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 Cause 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 anoint you Going through the storm, anybody seems 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 stopping him for? Not even I could ignore being alone it's hard Find heaven in yourself and God
When I first heard this just now I bugged out yo like this I's real soul Getto music right here like the beat and the chourse and the drums in the back round got me a feeling like man this a beautiful songs that Common made and D Angelo in this song too is Fire tho Tho Thank you Dilla for the beat yo Thank you man Rest in peace
this is absolutely incredible, still gives me chills to this day.. i am so glad that i managed to get "Like Water..." on both CD and 2xLP (one of my favorite albums) before they switched this classic with the horrible remix with Macy Gray on later versions.. why the hell would they do that?? SMH
This album changed my life....helped shape me into the creator i am today... peace and love to all asiatics of the human family, #AWAKENINGTV #AWAKENINGMEDIAGROUP #ANDREAURAM
Song has a cleansing factor to it. Something you can feel deep inside your soul.

Let us not forget about Questlove on drums and Pino Palladino on bass -- pure magic.
Don't forget James Poyser on keys !
I've been with this song on my mind for years and FINALLY I FOUND IT AGAIN!!! I'M SO HAPPY I'M ABOUT TO CRY! HAHAHA
Common + Questlove=brilliance. One of the deepest hip hop songs ever.
I love this version.
Me too
Yeah. When the beat drops. Phew, perfection.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SONG. D'ANGELO ON THE CHORUS AND COMMON SPITTING THEM REAL LYRICS. CLASSIC TRACK NOT RECOGNIZED ENOUGH
This song got me through a lot of days during my college years. Now a Deacon, it was like my gospel for that time. Common is still teaching, still leading in true hip hop. Can't get enough. Peace and blessings.
This is therapy for me. This is timeless beautiful music. I Love this Hip Hop Music man.
True classics of art with respected artists,still listening in 2022
forever love the original form of true HIP HOP
Find heaven in myself and God 👏🏿.What I needed to hear right now 👏🏿👊🏿common and dangelo=🌺🔊

Love this song, this album was one of the classics from 2000.
Best version of this song. Audio bliss
Thank you Common, love you D.
love this!! true classic
Love, your happiness don't begin with 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
Talking to a friend, about what love is
Her man didn't love her, cause 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
Cause 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 anoint you
Going through the storm, anybody seems 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 stopping him for?
Not even I could ignore being alone it's hard
Find heaven in yourself and God
D'angelo was the perfect match for the hook
This was his song actually originally. He traded him this beat for "Chicken Grease"
Best Common album period this and Be

this is absolutely incredible, still gives me chills to this day.. i am so glad that i managed to get "Like Water..." on both CD and 2xLP (one of my favorite albums) before they switched this classic with the horrible remix with Macy Gray on later versions.. why the hell would they do that?? SMH
Unfortunately for sales...
The Macy Gray version was smooth too.
I agree the other version is annoying I get the point of making it but this version is perfect
Yes. This version is the best!!!
pure brillance right here
Some much better than the remix. Glad I got the OG pressing when it dropped!
This is truly art
perfection
Common and Dilla is a perfect combination
True, but Dilla didn't produce this one.
Palladino too!! I would have never known if I didn't see this. Jeez
Still shinin in the 3rd verse for all time.
So Smooth !

Cannot find this version in Spotify! I cannot believe the best tune of the album was replaced by the remix with Macy Gray :(
Gordon Parks Time Capsule : Red Brick, windows, water fountains, an assortment of ice cream, hot dogs

J Dilla ========= Premier
They're styles are very different but both legendary

Great but the original by family stand was great too, almost too good to mess with.
2020 all day rip dilla fuck
Why do they have the aweful remix on iTunes now? They need to keep the original version on there. Anyway This is one of the best songs of all time.
I just bought the cd yesterday and this version is on the album. F iTunes.
Andrew Westerberg same version is on spotify too...idk maybe some legal issues with this track
I love this version wayyyy better than the Macy gray version
For you to grow he had to go so what you stopping him for?
(^_~) Gud Music !
yeah i even credited as "Pino of the chitlin circuit" in the record ;)
J Dilla produced this
Allen Cole d'angelo, questlove and james poyser did
How come this version isn't on Spotify?
Wooooh! Fiyah! No Mo'music like this in the game really no mo'.Maybe its just an out dated sound.
@PORTTOWNREP Agreed but what about: Common+D'Angelo+Poyser+Palladino+?uestLove=Brilliance ?
