which is why i want to tell you about my favourite cousin

he and I grew up where the sun shines

and we both partook with the gun crimes

and we both liked american rap rhymes " those lines right there made me cry im from Ethiopia & i left my country to have a better life now im living in Toronto :) so i know how k'naan feels.

[adriantts99]

he is so real. he is really real.

[cardo2468]

name a rapper in dis day an age, dat's more REAL dan dis!

[LegGanders]

@cardo2468 Macklemore. I love K'Naan, no lie, but Macklemore is 100X more real than him.

[knowledgeischillin]

im sorry but i cant take the dj in the back seriously, he's turning knobs all the time and spinning the record on the table thats off, its hilarious

[PSTRIPPLEE]

This guy is butters but he got swagggg

[Bountylicious]

Somalia Nation is known as "The Land of Poets" . Now you all know why.

but not many people know only historians, explorers and our NE African nieghbours (and all Afro Asiatic people/countries) mostly.

[fkucnts1]

@Bountylicious somalia nation is kniwn as land of the nigger muslims who rape and kill each other beacuse thats what a nigger dus best. their main export is terrorism. infact if an earthquake hit them overnite no one would care or notice becoz its a uselss country

[Bountylicious]

@fkucnts1 haha, whatever you say delusional twat. only you think so. lol

[abdifatahdini]

@Bountylicious dont waist your time on fkucnts1, the thing only wants your attention so dont give to it abaayo

[Bountylicious]

@abdifatahdini okay Brother, I agree, I will take your advice  God bless : ¬)

[MrXamzah]

@fkucnts1

before you write something about some people ''

go to school and learn how to write '!

stupid mother fucker.

[TheKingdom89]

@Bountylicious Salam brother, just wanted to say hello from KSA. i see there's a hater trying to get your attention, don't give him that. we to wise for him and people like him. Alsalamu Alaykum.

[Bountylicious]

@TheKingdom89 Salam, I am a 25 year old woman btw, Thank you brother/sister for the lovely words, may God bless you. Asalaama Alaykum.

[TheKingdom89]

@Bountylicious lol sorry, i thought you're a dude :).

[Bountylicious]

@TheKingdom89 no its okay. take care.

[Bountylicious]

Incredible song. Why does K naan look more like a black person then a Somali. lol I am one btw.

[Oyinda4lfe]

When Music Hits you you feel no pain-Bob Marley.................. This is Music

[GKPrOdUcTiOnZzZzZ]

2:56 is the best lyric in the whole song, etc... power trippin'

[atheist382]

Religion does three things quite effectively: divides people, controls people, deludes people.

You believe in a book that has sticks turning into snakes, and you say we are the ones that need help?

[weemaddoc]

@atheist382 in the same sense your wrong too, like everything in life the retards take the story and not the morals to it, the bible is stories not a fact book, we learn from stories and stories can make us who we are.

example ? eye for an eye, doesnt mean he kills my little sister i kill his, its about justice being made naturally, what goes around comes around kind of.

The Religious dont need help, the Extremists do, if you live your faith peacefully and respectfully then who are we to judge

[atheist382]

@weemaddoc Religion is anti-science. It must be stopped. It is a poison. The world would have progressed so much without it.

[weemaddoc]

@atheist382 How unrealistic to say it must be stopped, it wont be :L its USED to be anti-science but now its far from it, the vatican has a telescope to search for other life forms, yes the world would be far more technological without it but then it would be far more fucked through technological polution, and not to mention the effect the world would have had without it, no morals and nothing to keep the majority of people on the straight and narrow

Listen to the song, you lost your argument

[weemaddoc]

@atheist382 ran out of characters so i will continue on here :L

Have a pop at the extremists and i'll happily help, but no the peaceful majority

Religion doesnt divide us, bigotry does, its even a Celtic v Rangers match is peaceful in the majority, the minority dont fight because their beliefs or 'History' they fight because they want an excuse to.

[TheRealKushKush]

Yoooo we know were just another two rappers in millions trying to "make it"but what can we do. This is our dream. Go to reverbnation/TheRealKush I rap with my homie Dr Jay Spacely. Together we created the rap group The Jetsonz You can find his page at Reverbnation/DrJaySpacely We're both 19, and were passionate about this. We do this for the underground. The pulse of the people!!

[nikonano7]

Whats crazy is how on earth there are 10 dislikes for this song..

[doina2ni]

i can't believe i couldn't really make the difference between studio and live session! perfection incarnate!

[bboylycan13]

hes from Africa and speaks perfect inglesh BUDA DANG

[bendy4life]

Haven, Make this the music of our future. i am sick of artist like K'naan and Damian Marley being being underated.

[hobocow43]

is there a reason that all the good studio versions are gone? And why does this sound exactly like the studio version if its live.... OH yeah, K'naan is beast.

[MooneYoungBlood]

I wasn't gonna watch this video cause live versions usually suck, but I'm actually really pleased with this.

[rineficanefardonefo]

this is not K'naan version this is fucking manulated version of fking music-money-makers,fk off

[MrTerawe]

nice song

we need more

[aracely2305]

Wow ...what a song ... :(

[abdulduule]

sike love from holland brav smoking ass allway's !

[ThePhiZzo]

Too bad, somalia has such a bad dignity :( But I love its neighbour E T HI O P I A

[markus122piesuckers]

last verse is sad

[moolacade]

K'nan best of the world for ever

[dacraziestman]

Those 9 dislikers have no appreciation in this music, which in turn means no appreciation in truth and life

[okutoidickson]

Kenya is proud of U K-naan. I bang trubador on my phone daily!

[ilikethewordrandom]

he's so underrated ! <3

[SanyikaShakur420]

sounds so good live way better than most rappers

[zahannah1]

this is song has a meaningful lyrics. well said dude!



[hurtlocked]

It is good to see you again music, it has been a while hasn't it. Please sit and stay awhile.

[marilouu92]

- "...and bush really isn't being all that inaccurate, when he says they're winning the war..."-

absolutely true, they accomplished exactly what they wanted, which was to corrupt and destroy the development of Iraq

[wretcherwretch]

@marilouu92

Alright, I hate talking politics in youtube comments but that's just plain dumb. Whatever your political leanings are, you can't say that Iraq was developing under Saddam Hussein. It was a tyrannical dictatorship. Period.

To the non-nutters,

This song is fantastic, and among my top 5 most played on my smart phone. In my top 10 are also "If Rap gets Jealous" and "Wavin' Flag". Knaan, you da man.

[marilouu92]

@wretcherwretch LOL yeah, you're right the Iraq is MUCH better now :) omg, thank you george bush. for fixing it. and making it a democracy now. yay for bushy !! :)

[wretcherwretch]

@marilouu92

I wouldn't say that either, though. It was a very poorly timed war, which we engaged under false pretenses. Plus, in just under 2 terms, Bush couldn't find WMDs OR the perpetrator of the attacks. So I wouldn't be waving "go bush" flags anytime soon, or ever.

[marilouu92]

@wretcherwretch I was being completely 100% sarcastic. I think I agree more with the random person who posted the first comment. Just.. don't believe everything the media wants you to believe. You need to read. Read, read, read, and then do some more reading. When you compare and contrast many different sources and opinions, only then will you find the truth. I'm not going to impose my opinion on this issue onto anyone, i'll just say that you need to find things out on your own. That is all.

[wretcherwretch]

@marilouu92

If you agree more with the first comment, you really haven't read shit. Ignorance parading as being well-read is still ignorance.

[marilouu92]

@wretcherwretch Holy shit i don't understand why you're getting so worked up about this, i just meant that i agree more with the first comment as in between the first and second comment, i'd be leaning more towards the first (since you took my second one seriously). I'm not having a political discussion under a K'naan music video, you need to take it easy and go write a book if you think you're so knowledgeable. Truth is, couldn't care less. Gtfo.

[wretcherwretch]

@marilouu92

You sure I'm the one worked up about this?

[marilouu92]

@wretcherwretch loool *sigh*. goodbye dear.

[marilouu92]

@wretcherwretch Although, just so you know, i didn't post that first comment to begin with :p I must have left my youtube open somewhere.

[faduma2w]

if i was his mom i would have stayed and let them both go :'(

[franfran5643]

TT_TT wh-why does thi-this song haveta... haveta be soo goo~ooood

damn, that verse about him and his cousin is deep, so true and meaningful, K'Naan is most definatly one of the only real hip hop/ rap artists left

[jevomaz3]

[MrGolise]

[IBENSADUUN09]

I never listen to rap music at all but my daughter when she had this song people like she came to me and insisted i should listen to the song so i did the fact it is one of the best song i had in rap muisc

[ThayinJai]

People wonder why nothing gets better, because little shits still idolize these playboy bitch-ass drama queen "artists" who set forth an image of death that they don't even realize will destroy unity because they don't understand spiritually

what they are saying or what they are doing. 

[dulceadicciondeamor]

I LOVE YOU MORE K'NAAN

[boys2601]

I was wondering always why musician give their back to current global situation sing about useless things! but I am really happy with k'naan great works!

[dulceadicciondeamor]

solo tengo que decir ¡¡¡K'naan eres mi inspiracion!!! i love people like me" is beautiful is cool is cute i love youuuu

[stacaye]

wow how does he remember all that? these words must come from his heart...

[xSwift2strikex]

At a boy K'naan reveal the HATE embrace the LOVE

[maxieyellowbobpants]

knaan is the best artist alive!!!

this song made me cry when the part when he got departed from his cousin due to the war in somalia

[KickerSwiss]

haha K'Naan is dope

I remember the first time I heard him last summer on my birthday at a Jason Mraz concert

i dont think anyone really knew who he was but now he has blown up

i love the words he speaks, I know this man will go far, but hopefully he doesn't change his ways cuz they are beautiful ahaha

[iloveeyouuMJ]

wow, this song is so emtional!

ilovek'naan

[glossopcrue]

sounds like Eminem

[mobman121]

@glossopcrue more like c-lo

[GirlsGenerationCams]

i believe k'naan wont change his music style cause he does not seem like the kind of guy to sing crap for more money; just my opinion.

[Nintendee]

@GirlsGenerationCams Ever heard the song soobax? "I work for the struggle, I don't work for doe, I mean what I say, I don't do it for show" In other words of coarse he wont change his music for money because that's not why he started music in the first place. He is a poet, a refugee from Somalia that simply wants to get the message out and help his country.

[jenocidevontroika]

hermoso

[zidanez88]

the best track in troubadour. k'naan is very talented! hope he doesn't change his music style

[chaoshellbound]

its amazing there are not many artists who can sound spot on to there albums.

[CyberComic]

this guy is ultra brilliant ! DAMN!!!!

[missgarowe]

Heavy Lyrics

[TheLinuskung]

ok guuys

onething is sure: this song is great

BUT

he´s song waving flag for the wm 2010 in SA is MUCH better!!!

sorry this song is also great

THATS WHAT I THINK

Aaaand:

SRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH

I AM FOR SWITZERLAND AND IAM JUST 12 years old

AND PLEASE respect my opinion and please respect that

[DrivinMeWild09]

@TheLinuskung bs, der song wavin flag wurde für die wm 2010 vergewaltigt. er ist furchtbar gerimixt worden. es kann nicht sein dass man einen david guetta braucht um in die charts zu kommen. aber du bist erst 12, da kann es sein dass du dich nicht so gut auskennst. english: bs, the song wavin flag got raped for the world cup 2010. it is a horrible remix

[ThePhiZzo]

@TheLinuskung alter schwede! tolle meinung! ps.: zieh nach deutschland, is besser :D

[rahulilrplac]

If I am human, I should feel his pain.

I felt his pain.

Beautiful song. Beautiful man.

[ipodwales911]

When I first heared one of his songs, I just thought: WOW

And the song I heard first was People like me

He's so fantastic

[darkness101011]

aw man this chorus is so real talk!!!

[MaLovelyM]

So deep !!!! Love it like I love all K'naan songs ! He's AMAZING !!!

[oelmil]

after the death guru knaan is the only true hip hop around and btw he is from somalia

[fabolous301]

if this nigga means the shit he says, then he got a good heart

[neylavg]

i love you knaan

[Jami4ever]

@neylavg

[CollMomo]

Kid Cudi and K'Naan are representing the new hip-hop generation !!

[TheDeeqaluula]

ooh Lord help people like me. I feel this

[Grobar4ever92]

k'naan ty you for this song :D

[iPaSooN]

This guy is amazing. Other Rappers just sit there scream and curse and talk about money, and girls. This guy on the other hand.... Just unbelievable. Keep it up man.

[Tandy2000HD]

Beautiful song, I really prefer the live version. When K'naan sings "people like me" it sounds just so much more truthful and humbling than the chorus on the album.

[lilsj206]

Yo deep song this is man..

Much luv to all the pirates back home fighting for there property and resources.

[Grand22Hustle]

this is a real hit with real message in it..once a pirate always a pirate..viva somalia

[mariamlelue]

This song is one of the best for this era! Big Up K'Naan!

[ChuckDee1234]

Fresh! K'Naan UN Ambassador for REAL hip hop!

[fru2zzy]

my favorite song

[froghy26]

@somalibloods, Im so sorry about your bro:(

sometimes I really try hard to understand this fucking world but.. I hate it

[MrHoodboisouth]

straight from the heart

[somalibloods]

on bloods dis shit bang it remind me of all da shit our families went through my older brothers getting killed and me shot some by pussy ass rebels at 5 yrs old and watching them destroy our country and now we are all spread across the world. is da big homey reppin murdapolis mn blood gang sooowoooo bitch fuck all u crap ass motherfuckas

[neylavg]

i love you k{naan

[froghy26]

It hurts so much, I have to cry always when im listenin to this song. Thank you knaan 4 the music! You make my day always and give me power to go on. I love you from the bottom of my heart!!

[nakfa83]

the end made me cry. the part with his cousin. from your eritrean sister long live Somalia and the somali people. jenet or jenah will be there soon. God willing heaven will open and God will listen to the prayers of millions of somali for peace. God bless you K'naan. thank you for sharing your artistic creations that envoke humanity. keep fighting for SOmalia and it's people. Loved your interview with Riz Khan. I applaud your for being well informed artist. proud of you brother.

[shishisennin]

long live somalia, we will get the lands that is rightfully ours back soon, and it warms my heart when people say what you just said about my homeland, the world does not know much about somalia and our history, you need to know our history to understand what is going on in somalia right now, k'naan is like our messanger, he makes people love somalia instead of hating it, the western world have talked shit about us all the time, but he tells the world the truth about somalia.long live Somaliweyn
