Here's a lyric video for John Legend and Common's new collab, "Glory."

Around three weeks ago, John Legend and Common (who, along with Kanye West, made up the inaugural members of G.O.O.D. Music's roster) dropped off a track from the timely Martin Luther King Jr. film "Selma," which arrives on Christmas. Today, we get a lyric video for their collab.

Featuring actual images from the 1965 race riots in Selma, Alabama interspersed with stills from the upcoming film, the "Glory" lyric video is just as powerful as Legend and Common's track, which mines the racial inequities of years past as well as today. Saty tuned for the rest of the soundtrack, and let us know what you think of this video.
