If you don't listen to K'naan you need to cop his album "Troubadour" and give it a serious listen...
"When i get older i will be stronger, They'll call me freedom, just like a wavin' flag"
Yeah, Yeah, we used to take barbed wire
Mild them around discarded bike tires
Roll’em down the hill on foot blazin’
Now that was our version of mountain bike racing, DAMM!
Do you see why its amazing?
When someone comes our of such dire situation
And learns the English language
Just to share his observation?
Probably get a Grammy without a grammar education
So fuck you school! and fuck you immigration!
And all of you who thought I wouldn’t amount to constipation
And now I’m here without the slightest fear and reservation
They love me in the slums and in the native reservations
The world is a ghetto with ministering deprivation
But mommy didn’t raise no fool, did she?
I promise, I would get it and remain strictly loyal
‘Cause when they get it then they let it al switch and spoil
But I just illuminated it like kitchen foil
A lot of main stream niggas is yappin’ about yappin’
A lot of underground niggas is rappin’ about rappin’
I just wanna tell you what’s really crackalackan
Before the tears came down this is really what happened
