I'm a rocker, and I gotta tell you, K'Naan has got me listening and thinking and hypnotized with this song.
I gotta see him in Austin this month. It's a 3 hour drive, but It''l be worth it to meet him.

Knaan is the truth. Love the fusion. Wish the brother the best!

niiiice.....

kinda music that tugs at the soul, keep the gems coming K, YEOW!!!

TRUE MUSIC

Amazing song!!

YEOW!!!!


SO!

In the beginning
there was a hum
from a poet whose pulse felt
DRUM DRUM DRUM!

He would perform prayers and all
till one day he heard a voice call
COME COME COME!

Sus'pi'cious he moved
to vicious caution
Dismisses,
he thinks is a little often
People get held back
by the voice inside 'em.

YO!

The voice said
"a voice is big inside you"
Rejoice then ...please let me invite you
...To evil, greed and lies too.

YEAH!

Confused and dazed
he moved in ways
he soon became "Hakuna"
BOOM BOOM BOOM

A knock on his door, his heart is no more
A knock on his door, his soul is no more


Yeah...
That was in the beginnin'
As the story goes on...




So -

The poet’s got a proposal
he would always hope but never know
what it feels
to be free
He would be the frozen
imposed as the chosen,
all laws oppose him
But it would be greed

That’s got him there
he's power-hungry,
and proud too



People don’t care, people just scared
People don’t care, people just bear...




Yeah
That was In the beginning..

there was a hum

...then things changed






They say-
it is better to light a candle than to curse the dark

in the eyes of the youth
there are question marks

like freedom
freedom for the mind and soul,

we don't see them
see them for their worth at all,

that’s why we lead em

lead em to these wars
and what is it we feed em

feed em our impurities
and who it is we treat em

treat em like the enemy
humanity will need em

need em like the blood we spill
and we're freedom

freedom for the hearts we fill
we mislead em

they hunger for the love we give
but we cheat em

the guys beat him and all he wants
is his freedom,

so they defeat him,
whatever spirit he’s got

"beat him"

and they teach him
the rest of the world don’t need him

and he believes
in the disease that he’s heathen


Put up your fists if all you want is freedom
Put up your fists if all you want is -







That was in the beginning...
then things changed..

yeah


and we keep holdin' on,

and we keep bein' strong...

and we keep goin' on

and on and on and on..

I haven't heard true music like this in years.

This is true Hip Hop! My ears are smiling!

Yiiiiaaaoowww!
*breathing*


So -
In the beginning there was hum
from a poet whose pulse fell
Drum drum drum!

He would perform prayers and all
till one day he heard a voice call
Come come come!

Suspicious he moved with vicious caution
Dismisses, he thinks it's a little off

People get held back
By the voice inside them

Yo -
The voice said I'm poised to speak inside you
Rejoice and please let me invite you
To evil, greed and lies too

Yeah -
Confusing days he moved in ways he soon became a kuuni
Boom boom boom
And knock on his door his lord is no more
And knock on his door his soul is no more

La la la la- yeah
La la la la- that was in the beginning
La la la la- as the story goes on
La la la la-


So so so -
The poet's got a proposal
He would always hope but never know
What it feels to be free

He would be the frozen imposed as the chosen on all those opposing
But he would be greedy
That's got him there
He's power hungry and proud too

People don’t care, people just scared
People don’t care, people just prayer

La la la la- yeah
La la la la- that was in the beginning
La la la la- there was a hum
La la la la- and things change
La la la la-


Yeah, yeah, yeah -
Say -
It's better to light a candle than to curse the dark
In the eyes of the youth there are question marks
Like freedom
Freedom for the mind and soul
We don't see them
See them for their worth at all
That’s why we lead them
Lead them to these wars and what is it we feed them
Feed them our impurities and who it is we treat them
Treat them like the enemy humanity will need them
Need them like the blood we spill and where freedom

Freedom for the hearts we fill
Mislead them
They hunger for the love we give
But we cheat them

The cops beat them when all he wants is his freedom
So they defeat them
Whatever spirit he’s got
Beat them

And they teach them that the rest of the world don’t need him
And he believes it’s a disease that he’s heathen
Put up your fists if all you want is freedom
Put up your fists if all you want is -

La la la la- That was in the beginning
La la la la- And things change
La la la la-


Yeah, yeah, yeah -
And we keep holding on
And we keep being strong
And we keep going on
And on and on and on

And we keep holding on
And we keep being strong
And we keep going on
And on and on and on
3x
