Big Sean Hot New 'Dark Sky Paradise' Album Release 2015: Rapper Drops Inspirational 'One Man Can Change the World' Song Featuring Kanye West, John Legend [Listen]
Big Sean has released a brand new track off his upcoming third studio album "Dark Sky Paradise," titled "One Man Can Change the World" featuring Kanye West and John Legend.
In the inspirational cut, the Detroit emcee reminisces his struggles in the past, including his big dreams to success and his stepbrother's drug dealing.
"All I, all I wanted was a hundred million dollars and a bad chick / Imagine this so much some nights it felt like that I had it," he raps. "I'm talkin' dreamin' so hard, some nights it felt like draft day / You know my step brother used to flip them bags outside the crib / Like it was trash day, no Kim K, but he bagged yay (Ye)."
Big Sean then gets emotional while honoring his grandmother, who served in World War II as one of the first female black captains.
"Where I'm from I swear they broke, they need way more than the cast / We need more than what you have / And then we need more than that," he spits. "But how am I supposed to say I'm tired / If that girl from West Virginia came up in conditions that I couldn't survive / Went to war, came back alive / On top of that became a female black captain / When being black you had to extra, extra try."
Also, G.O.O.D. Music boss Yeezy and Legend each take turns to contribute the piano-driven ballad's touching hook: "They used to tell me / I hope you learn to make it on your own / And if you love yourself just know you'll never be alone / I hope that you get everything you want and that you chose / I hope that it's the realest thing that you ever know."
"And when you get it all just remember one thing / Remember one thing / That one man could change the world," they continue.
"Dark Sky Paradise," which features the "Blessings" rapper's already-released platinum single "I Don't F--k With U," is scheduled for a release on Feb. 24. It will also include various collaborations from Ariana Grande, Pusha T, Jhené Aiko, Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Wayne and more.
