"Resurrection" is the second single from
rapperCommon Sense's 1994 album Resurrection. Its
piano-led beat, produced by
No I.D., contains samples from "The Signs Pt. II" by
David Axelrod, "Dolphin Dance" by
Ahmad Jamal, "Sorcerer of Isis" by Power of Zeus, "Ice" by
Spirit and both "Why Can't People Be Colors Too?" and "Help Is on the Way" by
The Whatnauts. The song contains free-associative lyrics by Common and
scratches by DJ Mista Sinista that "blend harmoniously with the jazzy melody."[1] Nick Quested directed the "Resurrection" music video.
