In The Beginning
K'naan
我从南极来
Yeow!!!!
So!
In the beginning there was a 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 is a little often
People get held back by the void inside'em.
Yo!The voice said,I'm poised to speak 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 beginning
As the story goes on...
So...
The poets 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.
Thats got him there he's power-hungry,and proud too.
People don't care, people just scared.
Evil don't care, evil just prayer.
Yeah!That was in the beginning...
there was a hum...
and 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,thats 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 hes got.
Beat him!
And they teach him the rest of the world don't need him.
And he believes that in the disease that hes 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...
And things changed.
Yeah!Yeah!Yeah!
And we keep holdin'on.
And we keep bein'strong.
And we keep goin' on.
And on and on and on.
And we keep holdin'on.
And we keep bein'strong.
And we keep goin' on.
And on and on and on.
And we keep holdin'on.
And we keep bein'strong.
And we keep goin' on.
And on and on and on.
And we keep holdin'on.
And we keep bein'strong.
And we keep goin' on.
And on and on and on.
