[K’naan - In the beginning - live in new york lyrics]
So!
In the beginning there was a hum
From a poet whose pulse fell dRUM DRUM DRUM!
He would perform prayers and all
Till one day he heard a voice call
COME COME COME! Sus'pi'cious he moved
With vicious caution dismisses
He thinks is a little often
People get held back by the void inside 'em
YO!
The void said
I'm poised to speak inside you
"Rejoice then please let me invite you
To evil, greed and lies too"
YEAH!
Confused and dazed he moved in ways
He soon became "Hakuna" bOOM BOOM BOOM
A knock on his door, his heart is no more
A knock on his door, his soul is no more
Yeah that was in the beginnin'
As the story goes on so -
The poet's got a proposal
He would always hope but never know
What it feels to be free
He would be the frozen imposed as the chosen
All laws oppose him but it would be greed
That's got him there he's power hungry
And proud too
People don't care, he will just care
Evil don't care, he will just prayer
Yeah that was In the beginning
There was a hum
Then things changed
They say- it is better to light a candle
Than to curse the dark
In the eyes of the youth
There are question marks
Like freedom freedom for the mind and soul
We don't see them
See them for their worth at all
That's why we lead em
Lead em to these wars
And what is it we feed em
Feed em our impurities
And who it is we treat em
Treat em like the enemy
Humanity will need em
Need em like the blood we spill
And we're freedom
Freedom for the hearts we fill we mislead em
They hunger for the love we give
But we cheat em
The guys beat him and all he wants
Is his freedom
So they defeat him whatever spirit he's got
"beat him"
And they teach him
The rest of the world don't need him
And he believes
In the disease that he's heathen
Put up your fists if all you want is freedom
Put up your fists if all you want is -
That was in the beginning
Then things changed
Yeah
And we keep holdin' on
And we keep bein' strong
And we keep goin' on and on and on and on
In the beginning there was a hum
From a poet whose pulse fell dRUM DRUM DRUM!
He would perform prayers and all
Till one day he heard a voice call
COME COME COME! Sus'pi'cious he moved
With vicious caution dismisses
