3:39

I hope you got your passports, and vaccine shots.

I take rappers on a field trip any day
They never been opposite real clip anyway
I know where all the looters and the shooters stay
Welcome to the city we call Doomsday.

When niggas is just fried chicken like Tuesday
Oh you from the hood huh, who say?
My Nigerian niggas would call you Pussy
My Somali niggas are quick to grab the uzi

Around here we only bumping Fela Kuti
Tupac, or Bob Marley, Lucky Dube.
So we don't really give a fuck about your groupies
This Is Africa, Hooray.

T.I.A.
(Hooray)
T.I.A.
(Hooray)
T.I.A.
(Hooray)
It means, This Is Africa
(Hooray)

You don't know how hard it is here
The streets is tricky in these parts here
You don't know how hard this is here
The streets need this shit here

You don't know how hard it is here
The streets is tricky in these parts here
You don't know how hard this is here
The streets need this shit here

I walk rappers through the Killa woods any day
They never been opposite real goons anyway
I know all the tricky sticky icky alley ways
Welcome to the continent of Holidays (Africa)

Where Holidays quickly turn to hell days
Stars fall quicker than box of shell case
No Bill Gates, No PCs
Why you cats debating, acting and faking these days

I deliver what they need like milk crates
I learned from the deadly streets no regrets
And I wasn't ever looking for street cred
But these streets bred me to be street safe

It's no secret we know how to squeeze lead
But the Pre-set is not to have to squeeze it
Used to be at peace but now we using T-Shirts
And it reads RIP cause the peace dead

When I walk through the slums like (Nomane?)
Little children say K'naan (Bumaye ?)
The rap game just got itself a new day
This is Africa, Hooray.

T.I.A.
(Hooray)

featuring Chubb Rock

3:10

Bundle up my whole style is so cold
I glow like old guys who go bald
My flow got no front in the vocal
Your flow got no button its so old

I don't mean to sound like a showboat
But it's true my persona's no joke
I stepped into some kinda portal
I'm legend and sometimes I'm noble

I'm from the most risky zone - oh
No place is more shifty global
More pistols, Russian revolvers
We shootin' all that is normal

But it ain't just because we want to
We ain't got nowhere we can run to
Somebody please press the undo
They only teach us the things that guns do

Chorus
They don't teach us the ABCs
We play on the hard concrete
All we got is life on the streets
All we got is life on the streets
(repeat)

(Chubb Rock)
Rock, you know my era
B-boy seasoning, salt -n- pepa
Grown and sexy, come with the extra
Crushed up linen, fly like sess-a
This type brew I gave it birth
Now it's time again to give it a verse
Jamaican born, not a fan of the ganja
______ Brooklyn to Somalia
And it goes in the background
Playa, that is my sound
The green doesn't symbolize I made it on the top
Pioneer legend, and they call me Mr. Rock
No B word or N word, I don't need those words (no)
Respect for hers
The game dried up, so we come with the grease
Leadin' ya right and treatin' ya right, so peace

Chorus

Superman is known by the locals
As this dude who's so fly it's global
Attitude that came outta struggle
Destitute but I make it hopeful

You real, but my real is tenfold
My real'll make yours a rental
Gangsta if at ease, essential
Fight with guns or utensils

So bold nothin's confidential
Breakfast was not continental
And lunch could not compliment all
We still become competent souls

These streets ain't paved with no gold
Matter fact someone stole the light bulb
Nobody fat enough for lypo
They don't teach us to read and write, so...

Chorus

3.

4:32

Yeah
Believe it or not
What kept me alive
Is my dreams

[Chorus:Repeat x2]
I'm a dreamer
But I ain't the only one got problems
But we love to have fun
This is our world
From here to your hood
We alive man
It's OK to feel good

I got a friend named Flow,
Who got a friend named blow
With a finger named clap
That'll leave you on the side like a Kangol hat.
He ain't have no choice he was born this way
These streets will pull your number like a phone display
You gotta be defensive with your life
You gotta be like Bush and take Pre-emptive strikes
And the boys from the hood are always hard
Let alone in Mogadishu it's a mastered art
If you bring the words hood to a seminar
We from the only place worse then Kandahar,
Now that's kinda hard
But we still like to party and hardy har
Something good happens we say Mashalla
Something bad happens Kay Sara Sara.
I close my eyes and all I can see is you dancing with me

[Chorus]

It's ok to feel good, it's the truth
Yo check it out

What would it take for a boy about my age to hear cheers in his head upon that stage
And the cheers that would drowned out the tears from my brown eyes
Come on back stage you see the screams ain't the screams from gun shot streams
In my dreams these screams are from hot teens
And I'm barely thirteen but I pack dirty, a Russian fire arm that shoots thirty
Just then I hear the bus engine I'm transcending I'm crowd surfing I can't see the time burning I'm not hurting with my mahogany pen.
I'm on a world tour with Mohammad and them.
And we be over sees and not in these trees where my peeps stay alive like the Bee gees
And the likes of JZ would save my steeze and singing handily brought Hip-Hop peace

[Chorus]

Sometimes we just like to have fun,
Man we like to forget all the fighting
All the guns and the tires burning,

Back on the verse
Imagine crack was in birth
Imagine the earth wasn't hurt
Imagine no homeland alerts
Imagine no record locater so I wouldn't have to get a criminal waiver
Imagine if peace wasn't in my briefs
Instead peace could stretch across the sees
So finally we could just rest and in easy no refugees
And you, well you could dress in a book
And I can read your body in less then a look
I got a dream girl in my mind and that the hook,
An intellectually, sexual and still can cook

Yeah, and I feel good right now
I feel good right here
You feel good?

[Chorus]

We not down and out, just cause times are hard
Yeah shout out to the struggeler's,
In my country, hardest place on earth
But still
I still know how to get down,
I still know how to vibe out,
I still know how to talk to a pretty girl.
Take it easy now.

Yeah
Believe it or not
What kept me alive
Is my dreams

[Chorus:Repeat x2]
I'm a dreamer
But I ain't the only one got problems
But we love to have fun
This is our world
From here to your hood
We alive man
It's OK to feel good

I Come Prepared

featuring Damian Marley

4:09

Set to high
Now calling all revolutionary youth
Dam Marley alongside K'naan
Gunpowder philosopher what some boy feel like

I made the list this year
I'm on a roll, you ain't know East African rock 'n roll
You don't know what time it is like your clock is old
You ain't know you're packin' like the block is sold

How could it be from the deepest darkest of zero
To become king of New York like De Niro
And he ain't even from New York that's what's weird yo
But where he's from they just ratatata ratatata

So come now don't you try to play the hero
Around here we've got pirates with torpedoes
Alongside all the warlords and beardos
The only city niggas blacker than tuxedos

Baby girl let me get all up in your earlobe
And if you shut me down you can kill my ego
Which is my enemy makes you my amigo
So either way you and I are button and needle

And they say I might become big as a Beatle
But I don't let it get to my head or feet yo
And I got more street cred than legal
But just in case we keep a big Des Eagle

Yeah, I come prepared, I come prepared, I come prepared (ready)
Yeah, I come prepared, I come prepared, I come prepared (always)
Yeah, I come prepared, I come prepared, I come prepared (peppa, peppa(?)
Yeah, I come prepared, I come prepared, I come prepared

What was I on before this flow or sequel
Somethin' about how I thought I was a Beatle
I'm trippin' but it was something lethal
It was fresh but possessed something Medieval

I came solo I ain't even bring my army
The type of niggas that'll always ruin the party
You know those socially inadequate Somalis
Who walk in uninvited in your VIP

And Africans love them some B.I.G.
But Tupac is official H.N.I.C.
And my job is to write just what I see
So a visual stenographer is what I be

Superman, superstar, give me super-fat dough
So I can be super-rich and super fat so
But maybe not super fat but super stacked though
So I can fix some money shit on super back low

How many immigrants are this here sedan
And is anyone carryin' any contraband
Not really but I'm late for my concert man
And here's a card for my lawyer Mr. Sam Goldman

Yeah, I come prepared, I come prepared, I come prepared
Yeah, I come prepared, I come prepared, I come prepared, always
Yeah, I come prepared, I come prepared, I come prepared, yeah Zion youths
Yeah, I come prepared, I come prepared, I come prepared

Some no cowboys, no the Kalashnikov, no play taebo
If him feelin off the balance, feel walk tight rope.
and gamble with them rafters like a casino
And a somebody for save them like them save Nemo

Cause the Somalis are Somalians some mad people
We a travel with some long strap in our vehicle
And a screech across the border like a Latino
Moving through the LAXs and London Heathrows
Wait, man a gangsta we no star freak show
No gimmicks nor shenanigans a real street flow

Feel me woman a feel flier than a Flamingo
Real bullet we a bust and a no Placebo
K'Naan have so much gun him open gun depot
And we take way boy gun just like we a gun repo
So tell some tosse MC there's no more free throw
Soon as we finish a clip another clip reload because

Yeah, I come prepared, I come prepared, I come prepared, ready
Yeah, I come prepared, I come prepared, I come prepared, (oh now)
Yeah, I come prepared, I come prepared, I come prepared,
Yeah, I come prepared, I come prepared, I come prepared
Yeah, I come prepared, I come prepared, I come prepared,
Yeah, I come prepared, I come prepared, I come prepared

featuring Adam Levine

3:07

She shot me, she shot me,
Bang, bang… she shot me.
She shot me, she shot me,
Bang, bang… she shot me.
She shot me, she shot me,
Bang, bang… she shot me.
She shot me, she shot me,
Bang, bang. (Get out the way, yo)

Ahh… there she goes again, the dopest Ethiopian
In other words, she came through explodin’
In the podium, dynamite
Napoleon like sodium mixed with petroleum,
Slowly but surely, she was walking toward me
Cut the convo short ‘cause she had to wake up early,
But continuing the story,
Don’t worry she gave me digits for her Blackberry
“You’re very handsome” is what she said.
And the way she looked in my eyes said “Put me to bed.”

Oh my, oh my, I should have known when she said to me on the phone:
“You do not know me very well, but I would never hurt a fly.”
Then she aimed at my chest with love in her eye.
I said she aimed at my chest with love in her eye.

She was walkin’ around with a loaded shotgun
Ready to fire me a hot one.
It went bang, bang, bang…
Straight through my heart. (Straight through my heart)
Although I could have walked away,
I stood my ground and let her spray.

She shot me, she shot me,
Bang, bang… she shot me.
She shot me, she shot me,
Bang, bang… she shot me.
She shot me, she shot me,
Bang, bang… she shot me.
She shot me, she shot me,
Bang, bang.

Scorpion,
She’s so hot she’s a scorch-ian,
Killing me softly,
Lauryn or Kevorkian,
Couldn’t tell if she’s coo-coo or corky, when
I asked her name and she said “Call me Ten.”

Testing, testing
Things just got more interesting
She’s dressed in a vest pin, double-breasted holster,
A very Western toaster,
She ain’t nothing Kosher.
Ah… she lets me closer.
Hotter than a pepper-crusted Samosa
While I try to keep my composure.

She was walkin’ around with a loaded shotgun
Ready to fire me a hot one.
It went bang, bang, bang…
Straight through my heart. (Straight through my heart)
Although I could have walked away,
I stood my ground and let her spray.

She shot me, she shot me,
Bang, bang… she shot me.
She shot me, she shot me,
Bang, bang… she shot me.
She shot me, she shot me,
Bang, bang… she shot me.
She shot me, she shot me,
Bang, bang.

Am I wrong?
But what is love without the pain to go along?
And what is pain if not the reason for me to sing this song?
And this song is for the weak and for the strong.
Cause I was strong and still…
She got me, she got me,
Bang, bang… she got me.
She got me, she got me,
Bang, bang.

She was walkin’ around with a loaded shotgun
Ready to fire me a hot one.
It went bang, bang, bang…
Straight through my heart. (Straight through my heart)
Although I could have walked away,
I stood my ground and let her spray.

She shot me, she shot me,
Bang, bang… she shot me.
She shot me, she shot me,
Bang, bang… she shot me.
She shot me, she shot me,
Bang, bang… she shot me.
She shot me, she shot me,
Bang, bang.

She shot me, she shot me, 
Bang, bang… she shot me.
She shot me, she shot me, 
Bang, bang… she shot me. 
She shot me, she shot me, 
Bang, bang… she shot me.  
She shot me, she shot me,

If Rap Gets Jealous

featuring Kirk Hammett

3:40

So good things come to those who wait
Sure, I've waited about pop-pop-pop-pop
That's four cousins shot!
I got grudges, let's discuss this, my music needs no touch ups
I got a long record of fuck ups, trust me you don't know who has this weight as mine, or a life as hard as mine.
I had to hustle, chop, sell drugs, grind, whatever you want to call it is fine,
But just listen, and don't preach us
I don't want anyone dismissin' me as another thug or some shit like that,
No Sir! If I fall I will get right back,
I got circumstances, but let me stop dancin' around the issue
And tell you straight forward, I'm poor
A refugee, been in prison and survived the war
I come from the most dangerous city in this universe
You're likely to get shot at birth!...

So I can rap quench my thirst
I don't even hear verses no more
I hear jerkin' off, punks with lip glosses and purses
I don't see nobody I can reach anymore
I see nurses, fuck that!,I'm gonna stay alive! I'd rather do a stage live!

And if rap gets jealous 'cause I rock heavy
It don't worry me if m'aa fuckers don't get it
Yo, if rap gets jealous, words that were admitted
I used to be a public enemy don't forget it.
And if rap gets jealous 'cause I rock heavy
It don't worry me if m'aa fuckers don't get it
Yo, if rap gets jealous,'cause of where I'm headed
Aggression, obsession, we're pain in the gain.

So good things come to those who wait
Sure, I've waited about pop-pop-pop-pop
That's four cousins shot!
I got grudges, let's discuss this, my music needs no touch ups
I got a long record of fuck ups, trust me you don't know who has this weight as mine, or a life as hard as mine.
I had to hustle, chop, sell drugs, grind, whatever you want to call it is fine,
But just listen, and don't preach us
I don't want anyone dismissin' me as another thug or some shit like that,
No Sir! If I fall I will get right back,
I got circumstances, but let me stop dancin' around the issue
And tell you straight forward, I'm poor
A refugee, been in prison and survived the war
I come from the most dangerous city in this universe
You're likely to get shot at birth!...

So I can rap quench my thirst
I don't even hear verses no more
I hear jerkin' off, punks with lip glosses and purses
I don't see nobody I can reach anymore
I see nurses, fuck that!,I'm gonna stay alive! I'd rather do a stage live!

And if rap gets jealous 'cause I rock heavy
It don't worry me if m'aa fuckers don't get it
Yo, if rap gets jealous, words that were admitted
I used to be a public enemy don't forget it.
And if rap gets jealous 'cause I rock heavy
It don't worry me if m'aa fuckers don't get it
Yo, if rap gets jealous,'cause of where I'm headed
Aggression, obsession, we're pain in the gain.

So yeah, basically I gotta release occasionally
I gotta let you know what's goin' on with me
And facing me are some tough choices
I got a good side and a bad side
Inside my head,I hear screams and loud voices
And I can't lie,ain't got Shit!
I ain't got to brag,I'm hard pressed for some cash
'Cause that's where I'm at with that,you're so superficial!
Of course it's for shizzle, now my choice is to pass on you
Voice! 'Cause my mission is the world
To know my name! my aim! is plainly success!
But I still gotta come practice!...

So I can rap-Quench my thirst
I don't even hear verses no more
I hear jerkin' off,punks with lip glosses and purses
I don't see nobody I can reach anymore
I see nurses,Fuck that!,I'm gonna stay alive! I'd rather do a stage live!

That's gotta be Fucked up!,know what I'm sayin'?
Ha! That's gotta be Fucked up
You know,just imagine like,imagine you build a Fuckin' castle

Uh,
Yeah,
Somalia

Yeah,
I spit it for my block,
It's an ode, I admit it.
Here the city code is lock and load
Any minute is rock and roll
And you rock and roll,
And feel your soul leavin'.
It's just the wrong dance
That'll leave you not breathin'.
I'm not particularly proud
Of this predicament but,
I'm born and bred
In this tenement, I'm sentimental, What?!
Plus it's only right to represent my hood
And what not.
So I'm about to do it in the music, in the movies.
Cut to the chase pan across to the face
I'm right there.
Freeze frame on the street name
Oops wait a minute,
This is where the streets have no name
And the drain of sewage.
You can see it in this boy how the hate is brewin'
Cause when his tummy tucks in
Fuck the pain is fluid.
So what difference does it make,
Entertaining threw it.
Some get high mixing coke and gun powder, sniffin'.
She got a gun but could have been a model or physician.

So what you know bout the pirates terrorize the ocean.
To never know a simple day without a big commotion.
It can't be healthy just to live with a such steep emotion.
And when I try and sleep, I see coffins closin'. (Repeat)

Yeah,
Yeah,
We used to take barb wire
Mold them around discarded bike tires.
Roll em down the hill in foot blazin'.
Now that was our version of mountain bike racing
Damn!
Do you see why it's amazing,
When someone comes out of such a dire situation
And learns the English language,
Just to share his observation!
Probably get a Grammy without a grammar education.
So fuck you school and fuck you immigration!
And all of you who thought I wouldn't amount to constipation.
And now I'm here without the slightest fear and preservation,
They love me in the slums and in the native reservations.
The world is a ghetto with ministerin' deprivation.
My mommy didn't raise no fool did she hooyo?
I promise I would get it and remain strictly loyal.
Cause when they get it then they let it all switch and spoil.
But I just illuminated it like kitchen foil.
A lot of main stream niggas is yappin' about yappin'
A lot of underground niggas is rappin' about rappin'.
I just wanna tell you what's really crackalackan
Before the tears came down this is what happened.

So what you know bout the pirates terrorize the ocean.
To never know a simple day without a big commotion.
It can't be healthy just to live with a such steep emotion.

featuring Chali 2na,Mos Def

4:46

(K'NAAN)

uh huh uh huh uh huh
oh this takes me home,
it makes me think about sitting outside of my old home when I was younger and singing something like

[Chorus I (with translation)]
gabar yaroo subhaano [Young beautiful girl]
maro shabeelo hirato [wearing tiger-patterned]
maro qafiifa huwato [light, thin clothing]
maga’aaga ii sheeg [Tell me your name]
magaeygu waa sharaf [she says: My name is Sharaf]
sharaf haaji weeyan [Sharaf Haaji, it is]
aqalada hariirta [Those beautiful houses]
dhina baan ka jooga [I live beside]
alla ya u sheega [Somebody please tell them]
tinta u shanleeya [give them a clue]
nahoy zamzamey [of you, Zamzam]
sabaah nuurey [who shines like the morning light]
adoo kin kin iyo [like the scales]
kaluun badaneey [of a colorful fish]
adoo hajka jira [while you were gone on Hajj]
xasuus badaneey [had many memories]
sahiibtaa asho ashaq baa dilay [Your friend, Aisha died of love]
ugu dambeyntiina [at long last (I realized)]
aniyo geeluba [both I and the camels]
wa u banaanbahnay [need love]

[Chorus II - x2 (with translation)]
wanagii orodnee [Remember us fleeing]
nabad barinee [searching for peace?]
mareykan waa laga soo waayay [3x] [In America, none was found]

There are certain things fresh, and certain things mesh,
I got my own sound, I don't sound like the rest,
And even my attire and my choice of dress,
And not long ago I don't spoke English
The point is police pull me over a lot
They wonder what type of rap sheet I got.
And sometimes I take a young girl out to eat,
And hold the door open, oh you're so sweet,
Of course my affection's super illustrated
And I like to give don't reciprocate it
Unless you could give me someone innovated
And let's cook it up we don't refrigerate it
But back to the country of the educated
Where people get robbed and they celebrate it,

[Chorus II x2]

(MOS DEF)

Maraken,
my country 'tis of thee
sweet land for robberies
dos smokin SUV's
red meat and army greens
fat and frills
thrills and spills
eat and sleep
hump and kill
shop 'til you drop
work 'til you dead
get all you can
then get in the wear (?)
outta my face
on your knees
sleep in the mansion
shut out the streets
make that cake
woop that trick
lick my swagger
suck my sick
get high get low get sticky get rich
get yo' own show get down get quick
you slow you blow you broke get fixed
terror dome, home swag home
terror dome, home swag home
home swag home
home swag home

[Repeat Chorus II x2]

(CHALI 2NA)

There are some things pure while certain things blur
Dilute it with the lie and you believe when it occur
Falsified information got my people in the stir
We have to be in search of something equal to the cure
Straight out the door, I come to give you more
Lay the law keep it raw, when I speak it from the core
Get underneath your skin like I scratched you with a claw
Conflicted with the rich 'cause I kick it with the poor
I laugh in the face of adversity
Sound clashed with the bass 'cause it's natural to me
But if you pay attention to the past you will see
Not long ago you black they'd hang your ass from a tree
Certain things change, while some stay the same
Some are recluse, others are lovers of the game
I'm trying to walk the lane,the siratul mustaqim [Arabic for "the straight path"]
Instead of doing things that keep you covered in the flame.

[Repeat Chorus II x2]

Nanananana that shit was cool in English, but let me get that Somali verse.

[Chorus I]

(K'NAAN)

Maraken,
my country 'tis of thee
sweet land for robberies
dos smokin SUV's
red meat and army greens
fat and frills
thrills and spills
eat and sleep
hump and kill
shop 'til you drop
work 'til you dead
get all you can
then get in the wear (?)
outta my face
on your knees
sleep in the mansion
shut out the streets
make that cake
woop that trick
lick my swagger
suck my sick
get high get low get sticky get rich
get yo' own show get down get quick
you slow you blow you broke get fixed
terror dome, home swag home
terror dome, home swag home
home swag home
home swag home

[Repeat Chorus II x2]

(CHALI 2NA)

There are some things pure while certain things blur
Dilute it with the lie and you believe when it occur
Falsified information got my people in the stir
We have to be in search of something equal to the cure
Straight out the door, I come to give you more
Lay the law keep it raw, when I speak it from the core
Get underneath your skin like I scratched you with a claw
Conflicted with the rich 'cause I kick it with the poor
I laugh in the face of adversity
Sound clashed with the bass 'cause it's natural to me
But if you pay attention to the past you will see
Not long ago you black they'd hang your ass from a tree
Certain things change, while some stay the same
Some are recluse, others are lovers of the game
I'm trying to walk the lane,the siratul mustaqim [Arabic for "the straight path"]
Instead of doing things that keep you covered in the flame.

[Repeat Chorus II x2]

Nanananana that shit was cool in English, but let me get that Somali verse.

5:02

Picture the morning taste and devour
We rise early pace up the hour
Streets is bustling hustling their heart out
You can't have the sweet with no sour

Spices herbs the sweet scent of flower
We came out precisely the hour
Clouds disappear the sun shows the power
No chance of a probable shower

I fell in love with my neighbors daughter
I wanted to protect and support her
Never mind I'm just 12 and a quarter
I had dreams beyond our border.

Is it true when they say all you need is just love,
Is it true
What about those who have loved
Only to find that it's taken away
And why do they say that the children have rights to be free
To be free
What about those who I've known
Whose memory still lives inside of me.

Fatima,
What did the Young Man say
Before he stole you away
On that fateful day Fatima
Fatima,
Did he know your name
Or the plans we made,
To go to New York City, Fatima

And after school we studied the lessons
I ask God to slow down the seconds
He does the opposite that's what I'm guessing
I better chill and count my own blessings

Fatima, Fatima what is the matter
How come you ain't come up the ladder
So we can be like there's no tomorrow
Damn you gonna make me wait until tomorrow

She spoke Arabic and Swahili
She'd say Upendo (Swahili for love)
Anta Habibi (Arabic for, you are my love, dearest friend)
You so bright, you shine like my TV
Then one day she never came to meet me

Is it true when they say all you need is just love,
Is it true
What about those who have loved
Only to find that it's taken away
And why do they say that the children have rights to be free
To be free
What about those who I've known
Whose memory still lives inside of me.

Fatima,
What did the Young Man say
Before he stole you away
On that fateful day Fatima
Fatima,
Did he know your name
Or the plans we made,
To go to New York City, Fatima [Repeats]

If beauty was in the eyes of beholder
How come everyone hushed when she walked by
How come girls would look just to scold her
How come the angel wanted to hold her?

Fatima, Fatima I'm in America
I make rhymes and I make them delicate
You would have liked the parks in Connecticut
You would have said I'm working too hard again.

Damn you shooter, Damn you the building
Whose walls hid the blood she was spilling
Damn you Country so good at killing
Damn you feeling, for persevering

Is it true when they say all you need is just love,
Is it true
What about those who have loved
Only to find that it's taken away
And why do they say that the children have rights to be free
To be free
What about those who I've known
Whose memory still lives inside of me.

[Repeats]
Fatima,
What did the Gun Man Say
Before he took you away on that fateful day
Fatima
Did he know your name, or the plans we made
To go to New York City

Fatima

Now I just want to make it clear, I don't want you to shed a tear.
Because this here, is a celebration,
We're not mourning,
We're celebrating
Yeah
So baby don't cry,
Please don't let the tears fall
So don't cry

Picture the morning taste and devour
We rise early pace up the hour
Streets is bustling hustling their heart out
You can't have the sweet with no sour

Spices herbs the sweet scent of flower
We came out precisely the hour

Fire In Freetown

4:37

There is no way to write it there is no way to fight it
And I kick and scream but you got me despite it
And I got my pride so I begin to hide it
Like a fire in a free town you begin to lighten it

[Chorus]
Aha aha aha
Sidii hogasha roobka
Ah ah aha you shine down upon me
Aha aha aha Sidii hogasha roobka aha aha aha you shine down upon me

By some higher order you keep getting bolder
By god or by country you kill like a soldier
By some widdle you sung little but scream mighty stronger
Like fire in free town you old magic spoiler.

[Chorus]

You place bins in my ribs and ask me to lie down
My pain is your pleasure but pleasure is all mine
You lend me your false ear and I lend you my false lines
Like fire in free town I'm fueled by your gold mine

[Chorus]

She pulled out her match and she burned down my home
Fire fire
She know it to touch me to turn me to stone
Fire fire
She come like a storm and she rained on my lawn
Fire fire
She pulled out her match and she burned down my home
Fire fire
She come like a storm and she rained on my lawn
Fire fire
She know it to touch me she know it I know
Fire fire
She come like a storm and she rained on my lawn
Fire fire
She pulled out her match and she burned down my home

And any man who knows a thing knows, he knows not a damn, damn thing at all,
And everytime I felt the hurt and I felt the givin' gettin' me up off the wall,
I'm just gonna take a minute and let it ride,
I'm just gonna take a minute and let it breeze,
I'm just gonna take a minute and let it ride,
I'm just gonna take a minute and let it breeze,

How did Mandela get the will to surpass the everyday,
When injustice had him caged and trapped in every way,
How did Ghandi ever withstand the hunger strikes and all,
Didn't do it to gain power or money if I recall,
It's to give; I guess I'll pass it on,
Mother thinks it'll lift the stress of babylon,
Mother knows, my mother she suffered blows,
I don't know how we survived such violent episodes,
I was so worried, and hurt to see you bleed,
But as soon as you came out the hospital you gave me sweets,
Yeah, they try to take you from me,
But you still only gave 'em some prayers and sympathy,
Dear mama, you helped me write this, by showing me to give is priceless.

{Chorus}

All I can say is the worst is over now,
We can serve the hard times, divorce is over now,
They try to keep us out, but they doors is open now,
My nigga Akon is gettin awards for covers now,
This is K'NAAN, and still reppin' the IS (?)
Comin' out of Mogadishu and still draped in the mess,
And no matter how we strong, homie,
It ain't easy comin out of where we from, homie.
And that's the reason why, I could never play for me,
Tell 'em the truth, is what my dead homies told me,
Oh yeah, I take inspiration from the most heinous of situations,
Creating medication out my own tripulations.
Dear Africa, you helped me write this, by showing me to give is priceless.

{Chorus}

Nothing is perfect man, that's what the world is,
All I know is,
I'm enjoying today.
You know, 'cause it isn't everybody that you get to give.

{Chorus}

Yeah, yeah, yeah x 8

And any man who knows a thing knows, he knows not a damn, damn thing at all,
And everytime I felt the hurt and I felt the givin' gettin' me up off the wall,
I'm just gonna take a minute and let it ride,
I'm just gonna take a minute and let it breeze,
I'm just gonna take a minute and let it ride,
I'm just gonna take a minute and let it breeze,

15 Minutes Away

4:56

Yea,
I'm sending this one out to anyone who's had to wait on a money transfer,
Yea its kinda whack when they charge you like 10 percent on the dollar
But you know how good it feels when they say

[Chorus]
You can pick it up today, its 15 minutes away.
You can pick it up today, its 15 minutes away.
You can pick it up today, its 15 minutes away.
You can pick it up today, its 15 minutes away.

The worst thing is the waiting man,
Its spiritually draining,
I guess I could repaint it, but don't think I'm complaining,
I'm in my small apartment,
This month has been the hardest
I couldn't afford some omelets,
I'm broke like an empty promise
Sometimes when im in a meeting, and everyone else is eating,
I feel so awkward asking, so I pretend like I am fasting,
My girl had paid my payments,
She wants to save my anus,
She says my loves contagious but my pride is so outrageous
She sent me Western Union, so I can make it doin'
It felt so good when she said write down this eleven digits
I go out to receive it, I'm desperate and I need it,
Feels like an angel's speaking, I can hardly believe it

[Chorus]

You finally got a cola, you met him in sarpola
A tourist with a dollar, he's some kind of a baller
Two babies in a stroller, and still he wants to hollar
He likes your Pepsi-Cola, but you ain't runnin' Lola
Brazil ain't nothin' easy, for Velez or fa sheezy
The sun would make you dizzy,
Workin' for something measly
These girls would make you trust em,
And sweetness is the custom,
But everyday they hustlin', everyday they hustlin',
John calls her with the number,
Home with her local lover,
Who was it that picked up the phone,
Oh that was just my brother
She goes out to receive it she's desperate and she needs it
Its like an angel speaking, she can barely believe it

[Chorus]

I got my confirmation,
The western union agent,
Said grandmas destination,
Had violent inclination
But now I'm proud and pacing,
And walking to the station,
Heavy precipitation,
But you cant me anything,
I got my bills in order,
I made it cross the border,
Such dazzles such a horror,
His life was like an Oprah,
Grandma I never forget you,
Worry I never let you,
Soon as I leave the venue,
This money I will send you,
I still haven't gone astray,
Don't drink or smoke and sway,
Though sometimes I don't pray,
It feels so good to say,
Go out and receive it,
Cause I just know you need it,
Your boy has grown up decent,
Grandma can you believe it?

[Chorus]

Yo let the beat ride out for a minute ima say somethin right quick to people.
I dont really do shout outs
But I'm gonna do a quick shout out to the people that helped me
When I was in need you know what I'm sayin',
The people who sent me things on Western Union what have you.
You know Mahama Yuisef takin care of us numerous times
When me and rezac stuck on the road somewhere.
Mr Jarvis Church who didnt even know about Western Union til he met me.
My wife Dedna helpin' out when we needed her, thank you baby.
Mr. solgai helpin out with my brothers bail money
Even before we been working together,
Thank you very much, orregato I appreciate it,
And now I'm sending money to people.
Generosity is the key, generosity is the key.
Thank you very much, it's K'Naan

Yea,
I'm sending this one out to anyone who's had to wait on a money transfer, 
Yea its kinda whack when they charge you like 10 percent on the dollar 
But you know how good it feels when they say

[Chorus]
You can pick it up today, its 15 minutes away.
You can pick it up today, its 15 minutes away.
You can pick it up today, its 15 minutes away.
You can pick it up today, its 15 minutes away.

[Chorus]
Heaven, is there a chance that you could come down
And open doors to hurting people like me
People like me [Repeat: x4]

Is it fair to say that I am stressing out
I'm stationed in Iraq and they won't let me out
My homeys said I was stupid for even joining
My counselor said that my decision was disappointing
How she had good for good state colleges
And with my good grades it wouldn't have been a problem
But they don't understand the power of significance
More than brilliance and certainly more than difference
And if you ask me now would I repeat it
Would I fight in a war I don't believe in
Well the answer is if not me where the cancer is
They been doing this before Jesus of Nazareth
And after all this time it is still deadly hazardous
And bush isn't really being all that inaccurate
When he says we're winning the war cos its staggering
But that's cause we're killing everybody that we see
And most of us soldiers we can barely fall asleep
And time and time again I'm feeling incompetent
Cos my women back home, we're constantly arguing
And I must be crazy cos all I'm obsessing with is
Her Myspace and Facebook and who's commenting
I swear to god if she's cheatin' I'm doing her ass in
I can tell with one look and it came to me sounding like something from a song hook

[Chorus]

Meet Sarah, the proud mother of young Sebastian
Suburban professional went to college in ...shton
In self pity she suddenly cried,
Would my life be important if I suddenly died?
Neighbors saying what a nice women she was
Keeping mostly to herself ever since the divorce
And with the company downsizing and the fall and all
She really shouldn't take it that personal at all
It wasn't her boss who had his eyes on her thighs
And got a rise from her rising off the desk though
And despite remembering saying no plenty of times
It was still a damn surprise being let go
And now stuck with a mortgage she cant afford
And too educated to blame the corporate world
She got on welfare and hated it case work a power tripping
And generally being degraded if,
Nothing else she was treated sick
And ineffective which is the worst thing
That she'd been left with
Damn, no magic from David Blane,
No painter to pain this pain,
No Morgan Freeman to narrorate the shame
So she took refuge and prayer
Kinda like finding god in the phone book
And it came to her sounding something like a song hook

[Chorus]

I guess I told you about myself to a degree
Just by telling you about people like me
But people like me they speak politely
They don't start no beef or peace ...
Everybody gotta eat but everybody doesn't
Which is why I want to tell you about my favorite cousin
He and I grew up where the sun shines
And we both partook with the gun crimes
And we both liked american rap rhymes
Even though we didn't understand one line
If you remember my line of notes in my last album
I talked about a close call with a grenade
I think we both must have been about 7th grade
But don't panic we both survived without damage
But we developed a bond like we survived the titanic
But when the country became frantic
My mother tried to get us out, planned it
To the last detail except the plan got derailed
Cos there wasn't enough money for the plain tickets
How bitter when my mother had to chose who to take with her
So my cousin got left in the war and that's just hard to recall
But now I take refuge and prayer,
Kinda like finding god in the phone book
It came to me sounding kinda like something from a song hook .

[Chorus: x2]

Does It Really Matter

3:54

Yea, uh
Its K'naan
Yea, uh.
About to take over with this,
here we go I check it

They don't expect me on this beat, the thunder on the street
But I never turn the cheek, surrender or retreat
You can bet that I am strong, trying to right what is wrong
They say it won't be long, keep on singing your song
But ayo you need a single, single to make a mingle
Something that's kinda simple, I'd hate to call it jingle
A single is a missile, takes you right to the middle of 106 and park
And maybe Jimmy Kimmel
You'll need somebody famous co-signing for your anus
Who you got on the album I don't see where the name is
But I do it my own way I do it my own way I do,
if you do what you do your own way you could be famous too.

[Chorus]
If the beat is hot does it matter where or who its from?
If the flow is hot does it really matter where I'm from?
If the song is hot does it matter 'cause the DJ dumb?
If the girl is hot does it really matter where she's from?
If the beat is hot does it matter where or who its from?
If the flow is hot does it really matter where I'm from?
If the club is hot does it really matter how we bump?
If the girl is hot does it really matter where she's
From?

I coulda been from the west side or the Chi-Town like twista
With a flow so sick it blow you to bits it will show you the glits
And gold in the wrist and the boat in the fish and I blow them a kiss,
lets blow give them em a sweet talking in a piss while taking a piss?
are you talking to the fish or the girls in the boat exposing their tits

I coulda been from NY like Rock 'em with the my pen
I can get paid in full with praise and tools erased
And rules my case of jewels I'm cold like a glacial cool
With blades and fools I'm raging bulls

I coulda been from L.A like Dre and Snoop
Rolling in my six-four with fresh case jewels
And I'm riding on 'em niggas unless they cool
And I got border troubles like 'em essays fool

I coulda been- I coulda been from the dirty like A town or M.I.A
I could ride an invisible motor cycle and go HEY (echo hey hey)
Storm like the hurricane and I don't mean ay-bay-bay
I'm from Africa where they say K'naan- boom-aye-ay

[Chorus]

If you wanna make it hot then you better do a drop
(drop drop drop drop drop drop)
If you wanna get a hit you better auto-tune this shit (shit, ooh yea)
And he is tougher than you suckers none of you could ever bark at him
Look at him make you tough guys look like you are from suckatem
I do it my own my own my I do it my own way I do
If you do what you do your own way you could be famous too.

[Chorus: x2]

Yea, uh
Its K'naan
Yea, uh. 
About to take over with this, 
here we go I check it

They don't expect me on this beat, the thunder on the street
But I never turn the cheek, surrender or retreat
You can bet that I am strong, trying to right what is wrong
They say it won't be long, keep on singing your song
But ayo you need a single, single to make a mingle
Something that's kinda simple, I'd hate to call it jingle
A single is a missile, takes you right to the middle of 106 and park 
And maybe Jimmy Kimmel
You'll need somebody famous co-signing for your anus
Who you got on the album I don't see where the name is
But I do it my own way I do it my own way I do, 
if you do what you do your own way you could be famous too.

[Chorus]
If the beat is hot does it matter where or who its from?
If the flow is hot does it really matter where I'm from?
If the song is hot does it matter 'cause the DJ dumb?
If the girl is hot does it really matter where she's from?
If the beat is hot does it matter where or who its from?
If the flow is hot does it really matter where I'm from?
If the club is hot does it really matter how we bump?
If the girl is hot does it really matter where she's
From?

I coulda been from the west side or the Chi-Town like twista
With a flow so sick it blow you to bits it will show you the glits 
And gold in the wrist and the boat in the fish and I blow them a kiss, 
lets blow give them em a sweet talking in a piss while taking a piss?
are you talking to the fish or the girls in the boat exposing their tits

I coulda been from NY like Rock 'em with the my pen
I can get paid in full with praise and tools erased 
And rules my case of jewels I'm cold like a glacial cool 
With blades and fools I'm raging bulls

I coulda been from L.A like Dre and Snoop
Rolling in my six-four with fresh case jewels
And I'm riding on 'em niggas unless they cool
And I got border troubles like 'em essays fool

I coulda been- I coulda been from the dirty like A town or M.I.A
I could ride an invisible motor cycle and go HEY (echo hey hey)
Storm like the hurricane and I don't mean ay-bay-bay
I'm from Africa where they say K'naan- boom-aye-ay

[Chorus]

If you wanna make it hot then you better do a drop 
(drop drop drop drop drop drop)
If you wanna get a hit you better auto-tune this shit (shit, ooh yea)
And he is tougher than you suckers none of you could ever bark at him
Look at him make you tough guys look like you are from suckatem
I do it my own my own my I do it my own way I do
If you do what you do your own way you could be famous too.

[Chorus: x2]
