Fatima (法蒂玛) - K'naan (克南)[00:00:00]
Picture the morning taste and devour[00:00:10]
We rise early pace up the hour[00:00:12]
Streets is bustling hustling their heart out[00:00:15]
You can't have the sweet with no sour[00:00:18]
Spices herbs the sweet scent of flower[00:00:20]
She came out precisely the hour[00:00:22]
Clouds disappear the sun shows the power[00:00:25]
No chance of a probable shower[00:00:27]
I fell in love with my neighbors daughter[00:00:30]
I wanted to protect and support her[00:00:32]
Never mind I'm just 12 and a quarter[00:00:35]
I had dreams beyond our border[00:00:37]
Is it true when they say all you need is just love[00:00:40]
Is it true[00:00:44]
What about those who have loved[00:00:45]
Only to find that it's taken away[00:00:48]
And why do they say that the children have rights to be free[00:00:50]
To be free[00:00:54]
What about those who I've known[00:00:55]
Whose memory still lives inside of me[00:00:57]
Fatima[00:01:00]
What did the young man say[00:01:01]
Before he stole you away[00:01:04]
On that fateful day Fatima[00:01:06]
Fatima[00:01:10]
Did he know your name[00:01:12]
Or the plans we made[00:01:14]
To go to New York city Fatima[00:01:16]
And after school we studied the lessons[00:01:20]
I ask god to slow down the seconds[00:01:23]
He does the opposite that's what I'm guessing[00:01:25]
I better chill and count my own blessings[00:01:28]
Fatima Fatima what is the matter[00:01:30]
How come you ain't come up the ladder[00:01:33]
So we can be like there's no tomorrow[00:01:35]
Damn you gonna make me wait until tomorrow[00:01:38]
She spoke Arabic and swahili[00:01:40]
She'd say Upendo until Swahili[00:01:43]
You so bright you shine like my TV[00:01:45]
Then one day she never came to meet me[00:01:48]
Is it true when they say all you need is just love[00:01:50]
Is it true[00:01:54]
What about those who have loved[00:01:55]
Only to find that it's taken away[00:01:58]
And why do they say that the children have rights to be free[00:02:00]
To be free[00:02:04]
What about those who I've known[00:02:05]
Whose memory still lives inside of me[00:02:08]
Fatima[00:02:10]
What did the young man say[00:02:12]
Before he stole you away[00:02:14]
On that fateful day Fatima[00:02:16]
Fatima[00:02:20]
Did he know your name[00:02:22]
Or the plans we made[00:02:24]
To go to New York city Fatima[00:02:27]
Fatima[00:02:30]
What did the young man say[00:02:32]
Before he stole you away[00:02:34]
On that fateful day Fatima[00:02:36]
Fatima[00:02:40]
Did he know your name[00:02:42]
Or the plans we made[00:02:44]
To go to New York city Fatima[00:02:47]
If beauty was in the eyes of beholder[00:02:50]
How come everyone hushed when she walked by[00:02:53]
How come girls would look just to scold her[00:02:56]
How come the angel wanted to hold her[00:02:58]
Fatima Fatima I'm in America[00:03:00]
I make rhymes and I make them delicate[00:03:03]
You would have liked the parks in connecticut[00:03:06]
You would have said I'm working too hard again[00:03:08]
Damn you shooter damn you the building[00:03:11]
Whose walls hid the blood she was spilling[00:03:13]
Damn you country so good at killing[00:03:15]
Damn you feeling for persevering[00:03:18]
Is it true when they say all you need is just love[00:03:21]
Is it true[00:03:24]
What about those who have loved[00:03:26]
Only to find that it's taken away[00:03:28]
And why do they say that the children have rights to be free[00:03:30]
To be free[00:03:34]
What about those who I've known[00:03:36]
Whose memory still lives inside of me[00:03:38]
Fatima[00:03:40]
What did the gun man say[00:03:42]
Before he took you away on that fateful day[00:03:44]
Fatima[00:03:49]
Fatima[00:03:51]
Did he know your name or the plans we made[00:03:52]
To go to New York city[00:03:57]
Fatima[00:03:59]
Fatima[00:04:01]
What did the gun man say[00:04:02]
Before he took you away on that fateful day[00:04:04]
Fatima[00:04:09]
Fatima[00:04:11]
Did he know your name or the plans we made[00:04:12]
To go to New York city[00:04:17]
Fatima[00:04:19]
Fatima[00:04:21]
Now I just want to make it clear I don't want you to [00:04:22]
Shed a tear[00:04:27]
Because this here is a celebration we're not mourning we're celebrating[00:04:29]
Fatima[00:04:41]
Yeah[00:04:42]
So baby don't cry please don't let the tears fall[00:04:44]
So don't cry[00:04:53]
