With God On Our Side - K'naan (克南)[00:00:00]
It's a movie and the whole[00:00:09]
World is viewing it[00:00:11]
And the popcorn is dreams[00:00:12]
Torn but we're always chewing it[00:00:14]
They said dishonest by god but[00:00:16]
The costumes by the devil[00:00:19]
And the screenplay is adapted[00:00:20]
From a book that's embezzled[00:00:23]
This is where I grew up[00:00:25]
This is where I grew proud[00:00:27]
This is where neighbors never[00:00:29]
Say music is too loud[00:00:31]
This is where the streets have[00:00:33]
No name but they have history[00:00:34]
This is loss is victory[00:00:37]
Oh my name it ain't nothing[00:00:40]
My age it means less[00:00:44]
The country I come from[00:00:48]
Could be like the rest[00:00:52]
I was taught and brought[00:00:56]
Up there laws to abide[00:00:58]
And the land that I live[00:01:04]
In has god on it's side[00:01:06]
I was young I grew[00:01:13]
I could tie my shoe[00:01:14]
I was blind but I knew that[00:01:16]
I would always see blue[00:01:19]
Blue seas I see through on[00:01:20]
The bottom I'll meet you[00:01:23]
And when we come up for a breath[00:01:25]
Would you mind if I kiss you[00:01:26]
Childhood came up for the kiss[00:01:29]
But it slips it's pain in with mist[00:01:30]
And the sunny skies came and I missed it[00:01:33]
Vanished and when swept[00:01:36]
Landed we slept in the arms[00:01:38]
Of convenience blanket obedience[00:01:40]
Now to some of the americans[00:01:44]
War had it's day[00:01:48]
And the civil war too was soon laid away[00:01:52]
And the names of our warlords[00:02:00]
I was made to memorize[00:02:04]
With guns in their hands they said[00:02:08]
God's on their side[00:02:12]
I had an undying wish[00:02:17]
To keep from dying[00:02:19]
I had an untimely hitch[00:02:21]
Keep me from climbing[00:02:23]
But I climbed a hitch[00:02:25]
Itself and I tried flying[00:02:27]
I had an uprising in my soul[00:02:29]
The left was fight in the right[00:02:33]
And the right was fight in the light[00:02:35]
And the light was blind in the night[00:02:37]
And the night woke up in tears[00:02:38]
When my fingers went to wipe them[00:02:41]
They became a poem but to write then[00:02:42]
They would have to speak[00:02:44]
Tears in another language[00:02:45]
That would take years[00:02:47]
So now as I'm leavin'[00:02:48]
I'm weary as hell[00:02:52]
The confusion I'm feelin'[00:02:56]
Ain't no tongue can tell[00:03:00]
The words fill my head[00:03:04]
And fall to the floor[00:03:08]
If god's on our side then[00:03:12]
Would you ever need war[00:03:16]
