by me, 
Lord I’ve got to keep it moving. 

Some people feel like hip hop died,
With it’s pride, skateboards, and skinny jeans, 
When DJs stop spinning

Wale and K'naan they don't know is they're radio 
How the hell did they fit the TV in the radio

They told me go in, no problem I'mma go in 
And shy

right by a mic stand
Write a couple checks sip a
Couple y'all like that
It's my fact y'all are fiction with diction
Speak with conviction or we shouldn't

business so
"I'm serious I'm serious"
When I talk about my reservations
No allusions to recreation
I'm amending my situation
By relying on my apprehension

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

Sang about the killing ground of Somalia:

"We begin our day by the way of the gun

K'Naan is a musician and poet

MOGADISHU, Somalia

ONE has to be careful about
Stories especially true ones
When a story is told the first time, it

reminds me of a little poem by
Cheri that i heard one morn'
That talked about a woman:

There is a woman in Somalia
Scraping for bones on the roadside

(Pseudo)
J is for Justin, that's Bieber, not Trudeau
K is for K'naan, sorry K-os, you're bacon
L is for Leonard, cause C for Cohen was taken
M is for Murray,

Yo, K'Naan, man love or fear? Choose one

Huh, well let me ask you something
Let me ask everyone actually
Studio audience here the love movement

Yo

by far,
When life gets hard, you make me never stop, going to the top,
Love keeps raising and I’m never gonna stop
Yeah you’re better
Better than

worry 'bout it, leave it alone 'cause it will get
Better, better
Hope you believe it, by the end of this song, it will get
Better, better (hey, yeah,

You think by now that we would have learned
Behind every piece of art is a human to be heard

But I'm still better, better, better off worse
