K'Naan- Spoken Word(Somalia)

[lamaanestudio]

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 reservation

[abdi5501boone]

thanks man! appreciate it

[lamaanestudio]

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'

Yeah, yeah, we used to take barbed wire

Mold them around discarded bike tires

Roll 'em down the hill on foot blazin'

Now that was our version of mountain bike racing, damn

[lamaanestudio]

'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'
