k'naan - in the beginning[00:00:01]
第一次制作请见谅![00:00:07]
yeow!!!![00:00:13]
so![00:00:18]
in the beginning[00:00:19]
there was a hum[00:00:20]
from a poet whose pulse fell[00:00:21]
drum drum drum![00:00:22]
he would perform prayers and all[00:00:24]
till one day he heard a voice call[00:00:24]
come come come![00:00:27]
sus'pi'cious he moved[00:00:28]
with vicious caution[00:00:29]
dismisses,[00:00:30]
he thinks is a little often[00:00:31]
people get held back[00:00:33]
by the void inside 'em.[00:00:34]
yo![00:00:36]
the void said,[00:00:38]
i'm poised to speak inside you...[00:00:38]
"rejoice then ...please let me invite you[00:00:40]
...to evil, greed and lies too."[00:00:42]
yeah![00:00:46]
confused and dazed[00:00:47]
he moved in ways[00:00:48]
he soon became "hakuna"[00:00:49]
boom boom boom[00:00:49]
a knock on his door, his heart is no more[00:00:51]
a knock on his door, his soul is no more[00:00:53]
yeah...[00:00:58]
that was in the beginnin'[00:01:02]
as the story goes on...[00:01:07]
so -[00:01:12]
the poet’s got a proposal[00:01:13]
he would always hope but never know[00:01:14]
what it feels[00:01:16]
to be free[00:01:17]
he would be the frozen[00:01:18]
imposed as the chosen,[00:01:19]
all laws oppose him[00:01:20]
but it would be greed[00:01:21]
that’s got him there[00:01:22]
he's power-hungry,[00:01:24]
and proud too[00:01:25]
people don’t care, he will just care[00:01:27]
evil don't care, he will just prayer...[00:01:29]
yeah[00:01:35]
that was in the beginning..[00:01:37]
there was a hum[00:01:40]
...then things changed[00:01:44]
yeah[00:01:48]
they say-[00:01:49]
it is better to light a candle than to curse the dark[00:01:50]
in the eyes of the youth[00:01:51]
there are question marks[00:01:53]
like freedom[00:01:53]
freedom for the mind and soul,[00:01:54]
we don't see them[00:01:56]
see them for their worth at all,[00:01:57]
that’s why we lead em[00:01:58]
lead em to these wars[00:01:59]
and what is it we feed em[00:02:00]
feed em our impurities[00:02:01]
and who it is we treat em[00:02:02]
treat em like the enemy[00:02:03]
humanity will need em[00:02:04]
need em like the blood we spill[00:02:05]
and we're freedom[00:02:07]
freedom for the hearts we fill[00:02:08]
we mislead em[00:02:09]
they hunger for the love we give[00:02:10]
but we cheat em[00:02:11]
the guys beat him and all he wants[00:02:12]
is his freedom,[00:02:13]
so they defeat him,[00:02:15]
whatever spirit he’s got[00:02:16]
"beat him"[00:02:17]
and they teach him[00:02:17]
the rest of the world don’t need him[00:02:18]
and he believes[00:02:19]
in the disease that he’s heathen[00:02:20]
put up your fists if all you want is freedom[00:02:22]
put up your fists if all you want is -[00:02:24]
that was in the beginning...[00:02:32]
then things changed..[00:02:36]
yeah[00:02:43]
and we keep holdin' on,[00:02:44]
and we keep bein' strong...[00:02:46]
and we keep goin' on[00:02:48]
and on and on and on...[00:02:50]
and we keep holdin' on,[00:02:53]
and we keep bein' strong...[00:02:55]
and we keep goin' on[00:02:58]
and on and on and on...[00:03:00]
and we keep holdin' on,[00:03:03]
and we keep bein' strong...[00:03:05]
and we keep goin' on[00:03:07]
and on and on and on...[00:03:09]
and we keep holdin' on,[00:03:12]
and we keep bein' strong...[00:03:14]
and we keep goin' on[00:03:16]
and on and on and on...[00:03:18]
