Not only is he an accomplished actor and author of several books, Common runs a foundation that inspires young people to read, write and grow.
“… when I write, I see my daughter’s eyes I’m the truth, across the table from corporate lies Immortilized by the realness I bring to it If revolution had a movie I’d be theme music My music, you either fight, f—, or dream to it My life is one big rhyme, I try to scheme through it Through my shell, never knew what the divine would bring to it I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want millions More than money saved, I wanna save children Dealing with alcoholism and afrocentricity A complex man drawn off of simplicity Reality is frisking me This industry will make you lose intensity The Common Sense in me remembers the basement I’m Morpheus in this hip-hop Matrix, exposing fake shit …”–CommonSo, ladies, I spoke to Common after the Happy Feet Two premiere a couple of weeks ago and he told me he’s a big believer in using your thoughts and words to attract what you want into your life.

How sexy is that?
