"We making moves, I always try to look at the positive and be like  'Man, we're about to change this.' I'm teaming up with people that's in the field cause it's people that are out there doing that work everyday."

As far as his thoughts on the city's increasing violence Common says,"It's a problem. Can't nobody be proud of that."
