LYRICS:
They don't expect me on this beat
The thunder on the street
But I never turn the cheek, surrender or retreat
You can bet that I am strong
Tryin' to write what is wrong
They say it won't be long
Keep on singing your song
But ey yo you need a single, single to make a mingle, something that's kinda simple, I'd hate to call it jingle, a single is a missile, takes you right to the middle of 106 & Park and maybe Jimmy Kimmel
You'll need somebody famous, co-singin' it for your anus
Who you got on your album?
I don't see where the name is
But I do it my own way I do it my own way I do...
If you do what you do your own way, you could be famous too.

(Chorus)
If the beat is hot, does it matter where or who its from?
If the flow is hot, does it really matter where I'm from?
If the song is hot, does it matter cuz the DJ drum?
If the girl is hot, does it really matter where she's from?
If the beat is hot, does it matter where or who its from?
If the flow is hot, does it really matter where I'm from?
If the club is hot, does it matter how we bump?
If the girl is hot, does it really matter where she's from?


I could've been from the West Side or the Chi-Town like Twista
With a flow so sick it would blow you to bits, it will show you the glits and gold in the wrist and the boat in the fish and I blow them a kiss, let's blow give them 'em a sweet talking in a piss while taking a piss are you talking to the fish or the girls in the boat exposing their tits.

I could've been from NY like Rakim with the my pen
I can get paid in full with praise and tools erased and rules my case of jewels am cold like glacier glue with blades and fools am ragin' bulls

I could've been from L.A. like Dre and Snoop rolling in my six four with fresh case jewels and am ridding on em niggas unless they cool and I got border troubles like em ese's fool

I could've been, I could've been from the dirty like A town and M.I.A, I could ride an invisible motor cycle and go HEY hey hey...storm like the hurricane and i don't mean Ey Bay Bay I'm from African where they say K'naan "Bumayey"...

(Repeat Chorus)

If you wanna make it hot then you better do a drop (drop drop drop drop drop drop drop drop) if you wanna get a hit you better auto tune sh** (sh**, ohh yeah) and he is tougher than you suckers non of you could ever buck at him look at him make you tough guys look like you are from suckatem,
I do it my own my own my i do it my own way I do
If you do what you do your own way you could be famous too...

Repeat Chorus (x2)

  • here are some correction of the lyrics of the last verse..... his not saying "if you wanna get a hit you better add to the street"

    but what he is saying is that " if you wanna get a hit you better auto tune this shit" this meaning that you add the T-pain effect on the song and it will sell.....dats why he applies the effect when he says that..... you get it?????

  • Thanks, yeah I know what you mean lol.

  • thanx for Vid and lyrics man and why isn't K'naan on the radio?

  • Wavin' Flag plays on the radio where I live.

  • K'naan is my hero - he just dissed every popular artist out there and STILL sounded better than them.

    Plus, the Auto-Tune bit is my fav - SO TRUE. He & Lupe should get together for a track or two. :P

  • @rybis95 My girlfriend saw them together. I'm so jealous. I wasn't really into either of them at the time but K'naan is one of my favorite artists now and Jason Mraz has a bunch of songs I like.
