  • HEY BITCHES...LESS YAPPING MORE LISTENING...

  • like if you're watching this in 2011!!

  • How can people compare knaan to bob marley? They have 2 different style. Its like comparing rock and classical music.

  • @SnideMovie The style of some of his songs and the way he tries to convey a message in some songs is very Bob Marley-esque.

  • Great song!

  • K´naan is rappin with a message and not just for beeing popular

    that is the important thing in his songs

  • Best song ever

  • Can we get an mp3 file of this?

  • Why are you guys arguing about religion and shit. Just relax and enjoy the song, his world views should have no hindrance on whether you like the song or not. Cuz im atheist...and thats the farthest you can get from believing in gods and their many many holy texts.

    peace!

  • whao

    for all is k´naan = waving flag but he is more.

    he is the best

  • other Rappers "rap"about Women money and shooting, K'naan raps a speaks about the troubles of the world and his childhood. Fuck em' all K'naan you are the best.

  • What album is this off of?

  • He is a legend.

    There were few.

    Buddy Holly. Bob Marley.

    K'Naan will go down in history like those guys. Mark my words. He's 100% original rap master who's seen true suffering and knows truth and beauty.

    I have spoken.

  • @JoshMan522 Lmao "I have spoken". Such authority thou carry?

  • @JoshMan522 True words,true words.

  • @JoshMan522 there were some more like rapper Tupac Shakur and Jim Morrison

  • @JoshMan522 lupe fiasco is getting better too..

  • @456catman did they ever make a song together.... if not they shud

  • @JoshMan522 His really a great great mc,he reminds me lil at lupe fiasco both masterminds!!

  • @JoshMan522 Well said man, well said. The only difference is that k'naan doesn't smoke weed

  • @OmgWtfGtf0  Heheh... well said, yourself.

  • our thoughts would conflict like the bible?

  • @phildogifyable he saying that the bible is conflicted in its teachings

  • @phildogifyable what does he mean by that?

  • @phildogifyable

    Think about this: "turn the other cheek" and then, "an eye for an eye"

    yep, conflict.

  • @FunnyBunniful

    You can make anything conflict if you take it out of context. The point of "eye for an eye" was that the punishment should fit the crime, and it was directed to the courts of law in that day. Furthermore, other than in the case of murder there is no evidence that this was ever taken literally. Cheek for a cheek was made to civilians.

    So let me put it in today's terms: In the U.S. theft is a punishable crime, yet police say not to confront a robber in most situations? Conflict?

  • He's going to be big, he already is crossing all kinds o f social-economic boundaries, I am a white middle aged woman living in the south, and I think he is wonderful... and I am telling everyone I know about him- spreading his word. :-)

  • knaans amazing this is true i just dont like how his music is changing. what got me was in the beginning my old home and soobax but now its changed and become more...mainstream sounds like the best word. but hey whatever, knaan kicks ass

  • every 1 gets the rewards for the good they do

    and every 1 get sins 4 the bad they do

    and k'naan's gettin his rewards

    god bless ppl like u k'naan <3

  • this just might be one of the most chill songs in the wholee world :B

  • i love this song .

    is a good breakup song

  • I have 5 dislikes for the 5 dislikes

  • This tune is HARD!!

    K'naan = BEST!

  • all religions fight over what they think god said..till god actually speaks to me im gonna live life not in any religion, dont get me wrong i believe in the Almighty and respect every religion to a point, anything that conflicts with another living creature trying to live its life i wont do, i wont kill myself in the name of a god, i wont stone sum 1 to death for a god. i take the basics from religions and follow my own path, i meditate, pray, and give praise to god and treat every 1 like family

  • @Streetzisdeathrow that's great that you meditate, pray, and give praise to god and treat every 1 like family, but if you don't follow God's law, then you are on Satan's side. And God's Laws can be found in His Holy Scriptures. Sola scriptura my friend, sola scriptura, and you can't go wrong...oh and by the way, God has not chosen a select few, maybe u should read the bible, he has chosen all people to be his (2 Tim 2:3-5).

  • @bluechika881 the bible is translated wrong.sorry

  • @Streetzisdeathrow In the past, the Jews were raised up and called by God to be his chosen people, to lead other's to Him.They were His first Born child, and were to help the "younger children" to obey God's laws.But they refused. They got caught up in the fact that they were special because of their "birth right" and ended up not leading any gentiles to God.As a result, they are no longer God's chosen people or a "big brother to the gentiles."God desires all to be saved, but few are willing.

  • Thats real but the Bible line got me uptight. "Your thoughts conflict like the Bible?" Alright, I know it's got many different authors but its all inspired. I don't know how it conflicts. But whatever...

  • @shumugga 1 example : In one part of The Bible it states that a girl that has lost her virginity before marriage should be stoned, yet the ten Commandments state "thou shall not murder".

  • @IsRealityAnIllusion Murder is premeditated. God has taken sides in war. War is nothing but killing. Murder and killing differ. Can you state the verse that states a girl that has lost her virginity before marriage should be stoned?

  • @shumugga So your saying it's fine to 'kill' someone but not to murder them?

    Anyways, at the moment I cannot state that verse, but I suggest you google "Why Can't I Own a Canadian".

  • @IsRealityAnIllusion the mosaic laws (stoning)were a wayto enforce God's law.God's law was do not commit adultery, breaking God's law if punishable bydeath (Romans 6:23).That is she (and the guy) were tobe stoned.Just like any sin,if webreak God's law we desire death, but Jesus,knowing that we have all sinned and therefore all deserved death, took on that punishment for us (Rom3:23).He died for our sins, and now all we have to do is believe in Him, and it would be as if we never sinned(John3:16)

  • @bluechika881 haha your reading a Roman Catholic Bible and your talkin bout Knaan never reading a bible. Put down ur fairy tale book n pick up the collection of Hebrew bibles if u want the truth..All religions are a lie, they all stem from God and yet we all fight, i say rid us of religion and just let us worship god for who he is..im sick of people fighting over religion how can we say we love god yet go kill his creations..Many will hear gods call but only few are chosen by YHWH.

  • @shumugga knaan is muslim, that's why he said the Bible conflicts, but i could bet you a million dollars that that fool K'naan has never even read the Bible before in his life, yet he's trashing it....I tell you the truth, K'naan is blind and so are his lyrics, why listen to him?

  • @bluechika881

    You missed the point of this song.

    He also has great songs besides this one: In the Beginning, Smile, Soobax, Take a Minute, Waving Flag, and other great compositions.

    It could be considered blindness if you assume that he is blind due to his own personal beliefs not agreeing with yours, which results with you deeming him not being worthwhile to listen to.

    But I don't know you well enough to make that judgement.

  • @Paymenow u forgot smile

  • @Paymenow wow what you said was amazingly mature for the internet. nice job.

  • k'nan your are the best i love you<3<3<3<3

  • Listen to Blues For The Horn if you don't think K'naan is not one of the most lyrically talented rappers ever.

  • Is this off a mixtape?

  • k'naan, you're amazinnnnnq<3

  • big up k'naan da first somalian brother to ever hit this big mashallah keep goin with these good song luv ya k'naan mashallah allah helped u sooooooooo much mashallah big up mogadishu .xxxxxxx

  • Knaaaaaaaaaaaan! Best rapper i love this song

  • knaan and lupe fiasco my favorite rappers right now :)

  • Knaan I salute you. U R ONE FOR THE HUMANITY.....GOD GIVE U SUCCESS IN LIFE AND TAKE CARE OF THE PEOPLE OF SOMALIA.

  • kid cudi is better :P

  • @TheSbr2th you clearly don't know what good music is...

  • @raoulmbabazi i clearly do.... only good songs by knaan are take a minute, waving flag and in the beggining son.. kid cudi has like 20 great songs

  • @TheSbr2th

    It's pathetic saying a song is bad. It's your opinion. Not fact.

  • @raoulmbabazi just because you don't know ANY other songs by K'naan doesn't mean those are the ONLY good songs... 20 great songs by kid cudi!? Srsly wtf?? Name them... ALL 20.. have you heard Symphonies by Kid Cudi? K'naan has more soul.. more brains... more intelligence and DEFINITELY better songs...

  • K'naan the best rapper allive... is the message that ppl should listen to, before grading fake rapper like lil wayne!

  • haha, "your body doesn't tempt me no more, well maybe just a little" Thats just so true.

  • K'naan is good but Eminem is better :D

  • @ixSickNezZxi

    hahahaha Eminem can maintain sitting on Dr dre's lap... and make fun of dead poeple Elvis... I like the guy cuz he make me laugh his like the best clown... but on the serious level K'naan would men handle wid mad experience.... so I far figured u be must clowny with that statement made lol

  • I find this song dissapointing. I liked K'naan because he spoke the truth about how fucked up this world was and how we can change it. This is too much like those other rappers who only talk about girls being bitches and parties.

  • amazing song. K'naan is so underrated 

  • i think its good that he can finally promote his music due to Coca Cola and FIFA but i can't find any of his music besides 50 versions of waving flags (good song but not his best)

  • Um meine Meinung auch mal auszudrücken ... meistens sind mir die Texte ziemlich egal. Auch wenn das manche nicht verstehen können, für mich kommt es nur auf die Musik, den sound und das "Feeling" an. In dem Sinne finde ich Rap ziemlich scheiße;)

    K´naan macht wunderbare songs. Man kann total entspannen und irgendwie denkt man an alles, was man in den letzten Jahren erlebt hat...

    @TheMrLittleBigGuy damned right...he IS fucking underrated and we have to change that ;)

  • @Rockcall110

    meine worte!

  • k naan is one uv my friends uncles i meet him hes so amazing!

  • Everyone VOTE for KNAAN as best International Act on bet.com

  • Knaan is not fantastic...he is SUPER FANTASTIC.

  • this is not rap izz art

  • Hes not just good,

    hes fantastic

  • knaan doesnt say bullshit lyk other gay rappers

  • THIS IS THE BEST ARTIST ALIVE!!!!!

  • this isn't rap, it's creativity :D

  • Alright I'm vexed

    "Aite look I'm tired and stress

    Don't commend me like that cool it

    I'll be back watch dr phill or somtin

    You a lil to excited it's not your birthday

    You might as well be a rapper talkin all that shit"

  • he sounds a bit like common in this song

  • best rapper ever..... i did not studder!

  • oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooo

    3. Close hand

    4. Hold hand to heart for 5 second.

    5.Send this to 3 other vids

    6. Tomorrow will be best day of life

  • @SSMunchMunch

    No Shit?

  • check my channel for more great vid like this one!

  • i like dis song

  • nice one I love this one just like the rest of his songs,,:)

  • Why is there a religious debate on a youtube comment thread? Those NEVER work out. Quit it.

  • K'naan is fucking underrated.... He is WAY better than all other rapers, and his lyrics is not som bullshitt. I love him, even without loving the rap genere....

    K'nan your the best

  • @TheMrLittleBigGuy lol ''all'' i think you should expand you knowledge of hip hop before you claim that

    granted k'naan is a beast

  • @TheMrLittleBigGuy

    rapers?

    RAPPERS.

  • @TheMrLittleBigGuy *rapper!! lol

  • @TheMrLittleBigGuy He even says he's "Rock heavy". If I had to put K'naan in a genre (You can't) I'd call him Rap Alternative.

  • @TheMrLittleBigGuy What do you mean by underrated.

    He ain't got as much dough?

    An artist, poet, philosopher, is what he is.

  • @LoggyWD It means he doesn't get as much attention as those rappers that don't deserve it... And he's right

  • @LooeyTV the common audience cant follow such things.. it's too exact for them. they cant evaluate it, cant see the quality cant judge right, and they cant appreciate it

  • @TheMrLittleBigGuy Youre so right dude^^

  • @TheMrLittleBigGuy You're so fu*king damn right man..

  • @TheMrLittleBigGuy the only reason you like him iz cuz yu dont like the "rap genre" lmfao hes aite but JUST aite

  • i agree. his songs actually hav meaning. im nt a big fan of this song bt yeah

  • @TheMrLittleBigGuy ahaahahaha rapers??? RAPERS???? lol i agree but funny typo

  • @TheMrLittleBigGuy Hahahaha

    Yes hes way betterthan al the rapers xDD

    Sorry, i couldnt resist : )

  • @TheMrLittleBigGuy i kno it doesnt mean much because i kno u meant rapper but still dawg u called him a raper (rapist) lol n ye all real music is underated today, hell i dont even watch tv music channels these days because all u see is Dr. suess mother goose rappers with whack ass rhymes..Give Praise to the underground they always keep it real. id rather by the same Knaan cd twice then to buy 1 song of Lilwayne or any other mainstream rap artists shit.

  • @Streetzisdeathrow have u heard of Lecrae? He's not a mainstream rap artist, actually, he's story is very similar to K'naan's but Lecrae has life changing effects through his rhymatical lyrics. Some of my favorite hits from him are Beautiful Feet, Who He Is, Send Me, and The Bride. you should check him out sometime =D

  • @TheMrLittleBigGuy If youre not a fan of the rap genre, who are you to criticize music you dont even listen to?

  • @razorfist10 shut up!!! jerk

  • @TheMrLittleBigGuy  you'r right

  • @TheMrLittleBigGuy 5 months ago he was, now everyone in the street knows his name. he's finally gettin the attention he deserves

  • K' naan is THE MOST underrated artist ever. He deserves MUCH more credits than he gets at the moment.

  • @sanderpropitius

    Waving flag got him a shitload of attention :D

    he's on his way up !

  • Haha who gives a shit everyone! Just relax and listen to the music! =)

  • Why isnt this on itunes?

  • @guessimthatgreat I know right iwas looking for it !

  • What album is this dope track from?

    Anyone know?

  • how can anyone live their life happily without believing in a heaven??

    most athiests that i know are pretty bitter.

  • @jdc44guy to many focus on getting to heaven without cherishing whats already here, im going to worry about life now and do well, because i want to, not because i want to go to some heaven that may or may not exist, enjoy life now,is what i think

  • i do not understand why most comments to k'naan's videos are subjected to stupid racist comments of pple responding to each other...get lives pple if you r not enjoying the videos or at least remain relevant.

  • @somcana that's called conflicts

  • @somcana never resolved

  • i like this

  • why we talken about this on youtube my thou about this is ...you guys have no life XD just leave if you dont like

  • really nice ....wht a soundddddddd..!!!

  • oh realy he sound lil nasty!which i dnt think is him but i still like him thou!

  • haha wat a joke this is not k'nan singing....

  • @Futuregirl2009

    its knaan sining

  • @Futuregirl2009 That's most definitely K'Naan.

  • Believe what the fuck you want to. I believe in God, but to an extent. People that obsess over their religion just emberass themselves.

  • Why so many religious posts?

  • god or no god k'naan is the best

  • k'naan belives in god, he is muslim....

  • Comment removed

  • wow...and to think i used to like this guy and his music...truth is, if u want to see a contradiction, then read the quran and compare it to the hadiths, not to mention that they both contradict the true nature of God, which is Loveman knaan, I had thought so highly of you, but now I understand that there is not light in you. Thanks and take care, I hope you make it to heavenI hope we all do

  • What? wow chicka, u better back up there! where u coming like this from? He's a very talented n honest artist, how is there no light in him? because he talks about real life ad people changing? wake up n take the lil wayne outta your ears for a minute to appreciate something real.
