[WalkLightStepStrong]

I've listened to this 4x in a row now.. I listen to it everyday.

I miss my people, I'm not going to snow anybody but it tears me up every time.

I no longer find myself in the corner huddlin' with those angry men but the last one standing is the only one strugglin', it fucking sucks.

I miss y'all...

K'naan is second to one...

[Natywayne]

KNAAN is my favorite rapper he talks about life and seeks to inspire not unecessary stuff like money and girls..HE is BEAUTIFUL

[iamshumbagong]

Until the lion learns to speak

The tales of hunting will be weak

My poetry hales with in the streets

My poetry fails to be discrete

It travels across the earth and seas

From Eritrea to the West Indies

It knows no boundaries

No cheese

It studied in parts of Greece

(runtaa hadii kale waxaan lahaa aaheey)

[Gmatute6969]

he sounds like eminem

[50vasquez]

@Gmatute6969 I beg to differ.

[DemonizedSniper]

[06G35xSeDaN]

Thumbs up for the Hummus at :42

[greendayusa11]

idk how k'naan isnt as popular as kid cudi, mac miller n' shit. his lyrics are dope as fuck and he sounds great. idk care that he isnt as popular but it is just a disgrace to society for not seeing him

[wiecox]

Let the God bless K'naan...:.. (:

[akamo121]

[ripshot420]

[jzgler0240]

i just get chills every time i listen no matter how many times i listen...and i set up an account just to post on this song

[BUDGETFREE]

Dusty Foot destroyed everything that was that Waving Flag monstrosity. It breaks my heart that fat cat record labels compromised his musical integrity. STAY TRUE K'NAAN YOU'RE THE MAN!

[abdullahih635]

[JavixicoParkour]

[tutuvo07]

he is inspiring...

[TdotStudios]

knaan is a soul survivor

[sam2habesha]

it honestly pisses me off how k'naan is famous for this one song "wavin flag " he made sooo many better songs that the world doesnt take credit for.. -.- smh

[CappitranoBellephant]

@sam2habesha Not only that they altered it on the radio and made dumbass remixes to make matters even worse.

[OfficialTOATV]

@sam2habesha i know what you mean But Thank god for Waving Flag he is More Famous then he would of been without it ! atleast some people are now aware of him

[TheJourney2218]

Part I love and can relate to the most is...

My season will come, it has to

Honestly I feel like I'm 10 months pregnant or somethin

I'm past due

[controll27]

Am a young Nigerian rapper, please check dis out --> /watch?v=5eC_5s_sSuc

[robertslema9]

K'naan should be like the president...of the world!! Like if you agree..

[Zackyjoker]

13 people who disliked this are either retards or people who didnt listen carefully

[mattyboomboom95]

"We even had a cripple, we use to call em lazy legs"

[BoyBigSexy]

K'naan for president :D

[Guedea39]

if you like this dude you will like immortal technique and lowkey

[PlazmaPwnage]

Why does K'naan need a autobiography ?? Just listen and analyse his songs and you will see what his trying to say ! This guy was in somali when he was young and shot a AK at the age of 8 ! He doesn't need a autobiograpy !!! Somalian Legend

[knaanlilwayne]

WE are Knaan's biggest fan

WE are one

[awesomman67]

he deserves atleast 1000000 views on everythin

[Loveyou364]

He deserves a lot more views than 216,929!

[sakeyproductions]

"i got a little recording gig but evidently i"m stugglin" true story

[bloodyhel456]

this song reminded me of eminem for some reason

[rockalday]

True inspiration.

[igotalovestoned]

@crazypersonpeople exactly.



[igotalovestoned]

Knaan is not like other rappers talking about money,cars,bitches,drugs or anything else.

[simonsact]

@igotalovestoned this rap is abought money only difference is that less violent

[kevinm30534]

@igotalovestoned, yeah he's like eminem then

[igotalovestoned]

@kevinm30534 yes but much better than eminem

[kevinm30534]

@igotalovestoned no, thats just abit too far..

[darina102]

@igotalovestoned just he has a true richer experience in life

[joepaines]

Where can I download this version of the song? This is much better than the one on the album.

[PitchfordStache]

This video needs waaaaay more views. K'naan is the best.

[sirmarksalot]

Is that his real mom in the video?

[cc3814]

@crazypersonpeople True, but don't you think it would be interesting to hear it from an autobiographical perspective. I certainly do.

[samar90]

we have to do our part and make sure this video gets a million more views and likes

[lazylayla28]

love his guy hurry up n come perform in loondon!!!

[sweetgirl891000]

GOD,,this guy just look exzactly like my friend from ethiopia,,,

[saymynamePete]

[TimedSell]

Im pretty sure i heard the story of his life, it was pretty hard for him, lotttttaaa people died

[xheartshapebox]

I just wanna chill with k'naan man, he looks like that kinda guy.

[uros91info]

thumbs up if you think thumbs are stupid

[somegalfromcan]

@uros91info LOL - I agree!

[Parasitesque]

You know you're good.

So...

All i can say is that, I hope you make it.

[dpacl1]

cant get over these lyrics

"ever since i was a fetus

the only break i ever got was at recess"

so unbelievable

[MrTomster99]

sick tune

[AFRIKTODAY]

Knaan is up there with all these wannabe artist man! The kid got mad skillz. A real artist!

[Boqolify]

we even had crippler and we used to

call him lazy Legs

bicheeezz wat do u know about that

Top 5 and he is Somalia

[11jacobsen]

how are there only 199 thousand views!?!



[mindlessfreak2000]

His song's have so much emotions to them, how can't they be great...He raps more meaning into songs that most rappers don't even do nowadays.

[wommosh]

one of my fav. i really relate to this here vibe!!

unlike my nigga k'naan, my life still hasn't paid in full wh@ it owes me!! sh**

th pain in this song is real my niccaz

[punjabithug4lyf]

D-Blockkkkkkkkk Diixonn standdd up right here

[jidetolenu]

inspiration before my soccer(football) games

[YababaVideo]

@jidetolenu Yeah this is a very good artist.

[canttouchthis193]

@TheHogwartschick woahh, aren't you cool. >.>

i spell it canjaaro. what, you think im lying about where im from? who are you to point out my mistakes? idgaf how long you've known him, cause ive listened to him for a long time too. get over yourself.

[ShortBusTrading]

Some of these songs sound way too much like Eminem and Tupac.

[myeshabeats]

D-BLOCKKKKKK!!!!

[ohmagoshman]

I love down the street from the house he leaves in the beginning BRAPPP T-DOT

[PocketFire]

buncha thumb whores...

[11jacobsen]

knaan is an inspiration. he had one of the worst lifes you can pretty much have. he grew up in an unbieleavble atmosphere and now what he does today is amazing. knaan should be known around the world becuase he is making the world better. is music is real music and comes from the heart and tells about his life. his videos deserve wayyyy more views. hes awesome. keep on going k'naan.

[kanatsizkanatli]

@11jacobsen he got a mum and dad right? he loved them right? they loved him, right?

He had very successful poets and singers around him (role models) right?

So how the fuck did he have 'the worst lifes you can pretty much have'????!

K'naan is a great man but even he would tell you, he has been very fortunate in life!

[DerbyGinge24]

Oh yeah why does this have 'until the lion learns to speak' tagged onto the beginning?

[domrafa]

His songs made me do some research/raised my interest about Somalia... It's far more than the portrayed war-torn anarchic pirate's den... In fact, a great civilization flourished there in the past. I hope they find order and peace asap.

[TheDeeqaluula]

thumbs up hadii canjeelada hunguri kaa qabtey!

[skugl23]

Ah. Baby needs a special baby chair.

[canttouchthis193]

ha, in the begining his mom was making canjaaro. my mom makes that for breakfast too! :D love this song, love knaan, somlian pride(:

[DerbyGinge24]

i admit i only knew k'naan after waviin' flag so maybe im bound to like troubadour. dusty foot philsopher is different, more philosophical and emotional but probably not as good tunes.

my point is k'naan is amazing in all of his songs

[moon4491]

he kinda sounds like eminem in this song

[lmcorrigan0]

K'naan has THE best lyrics PERIOD.

[Skyjuice120]

what k'naan was before the world cup. purity. most of troubador does nothing compared to the Dusty Foot. Miss you k'naan.

i saw the originial waving flag at bonnaroo 2008. out of this world. incredible beat, not the synthetic bullshit

[PossumHollowBand]

Yeah yeah I feel ya my brotha, all we africans be struglinz mane...

[14smooth14]

DAM THIS IS SOULFUL..! I FEEL YOU.! WE ALL STRUGGLE.! WE JUST GOTTA KEEP OUR DREAMS ALIVE AND OUR HEADS UP.!

[InTheFreedomOfJesus]

you want the answer, Christ is, folks like what's this, please don't try to dis, life sweet but I'm feeling death kiss, will I be missed? a legacy I want leave, but before I leave and my bones freeze, can I feel more sweet summer breeze? see, we all struggle but you can find hope, not dope, sin chokes, the life out of us, so pretend to be worries like we an extra on spartacus, before we return to dust, put your faith in the savior, Jesus, He's coming back again, hope for when you're struggling

[elfnamedbuddy]

@InTheFreedomOfJesus cool story bro

[FlagrantFoulsCanada]

For every person who heard wavin flag I wish 2 people heard this song.

[shipoopie0101]

"The realist thing to me is, since i was a fetus, the only break i ever got was at recess, so legitimately i remain very little relieved, and at thug rappers i remain very little intrigued"

so gooood

[TheLakeview4]

0.00-0.25 ain't it just cool to be able to jam with folks and enjoy the most of family. people are so focused with getting ahead that they end up leaving their essence(family) behind.

[Chav3193]

fuck mainstream rap, this is where its at <3

[Swaybourne8]

Beautiful & True

[Abii20200]

i  love when i saw canjero mmmmmmmmmmm

[saivillaq]

Love this song. And well sorry to say but I do think that K'naan is better than Eminem.

[wcmaster26]

Sounds like Stan-Eminem lol

[Chav3193]

@wcmaster26 get fucked wrangling cock master

[rolio1]

And america is still bombing poor people, yo dey deadly!! such as somalia 1993, iraq e.t.c, i hope speaking the truth does not get me in trouble.

[lo0lo0007]

I think I'm in love *_*

[bkhex]

was the name of the song in the begining

[Zaubazubu]

@bkhex until the lion learns to speak

[Whoopass033]

I Finally found sum real music,,, more power to k'naan and to the marleys LOVE AND PEACE ON EARTH..!!

[cgd39]

thumbs up if you think K'naan should write an autobiography

[RootbeerNINJA]

@cgd39 what did you think you were listening to?

[barabile]

@cgd39 His story is the same as any other Somali.

[rooneykotwn]

@cgd39 that would be an incredible book!!!!

[jwurth8]

@cgd39 i barely ever read but id definitely read that!

[Shai15777]

Slim Shady?

[Sar0303]

2:21 can I both adopt u ? hehe so cute

[dpacl1]

I hate that K'naan is only known for wavin flag, when he has so many other great songs

[CSLspidey66]

@dpacl1 Yeah. And he isn't even known for the GOOD version of Wavin' Flag.

[maxieyellowbobpants]
