K’naan - 70 Excuses lyrics

[K’naan - 70 Excuses lyrics]

I could've been a doctor
Were it not for a degree
I could've been a winner
Were it not for defeat
I could've been richer
Were it not for the taxes
I could've been a scholar
Were it not for classes
I could've been a rebel
Were it not for a cause
I could've been employed
Were it not for the boss

I could've been loved
I could've been loved
I could've been loved, I could've been

We could've been artists
Were it not for the muses
We could've been on time
Were it not for excuses


We could've been diamonds
Were it not for the penny
We could've been special
Were it not for the many
We could've been patient
Were it not for the waiting
We could've been committed
Were it not for the staying

We could've been loved
We could've been loved
We could've been loved, we could've been

I still love your views
Look up your interviews
Got me playing detective
Searching for some clues
I wanted to take you home
Show you where I've grown
Coffee down in Kenya then a swim in Cameroon
But you're in California
Working on your script young and beautiful
Just trying to make the most of it

You could've been loved
You could've been loved
You could've been loved, you could've been

Hilila wa la halle, qabiilkii waa la daayay
Dagaal la daa, rafaad la daa
Jaceeylkiiyaa waa la raayay
I could've been free, were not for the past
I could've been in first place
Were in not for the last
