“They Say“ is a response to his critics that say negative things about his career, and how he tries to maintain his original values while having the desire for success. Common was a highly regarded underground artist who spoke often about social issues and “Afro-centricity”.

Slowly, he became more commercially successful and even did a Gap commercial (sell-out!) and was highly criticized for being a hypocrite.
