Blew up my school in the 8th while playing catch with a hand grenade. True story, he told that very often. Man, how much I respect this guy!!!
“So I am coming to America I hope we’re gonna have a good time” Hits really hard when you know the reality
I came from Somalia or Kenya like couple months after my dad died and i came here when i was five years old in 2004. America is beautiful but 4 years later i lost my mother. America has been hard for me but im hangin on because i have a family and friends that support me in everyway!! I know my parents would be so proud of me..R.I.P Mommy and Daddy! I miss you More!
Sorry to hear that😭

Webale K'naan! I'm sitting here in the ATL listening and singing as I cry. Thank you for reaching out to the world and sharing. To those people criticizing: He is telling a true story of many people in many lands. Doesn't matter if you like it or not.

Very
K'naan...damn Truth... only people who have gone through the struggle of settling into the society in the West can comprehend the deep message this song has for millions of immigrants from the Motherland....
I’ve been listening to this song ever since it came out and everytime I listen to it like it’s new
i like how its referencing Eddy Murphy's "coming to america"

Waaberi means sunrise! Wardhigley(river of blood) is where he's from, it is also a district in Mogadishu.

+chris Fontaine Song was on the More Beautiful Than Silence EP. Wasn't on any studio albums. Ironically the song More Beautiful Than Silence was...not good imo.
2020 and still here
the imbube back-track is super dope, ONE AFRICA..ONE SPIRIT
needed this after listening about the deaths in the news.
Nice
I just wanna live a good life ! :')

I can relate to that line about the grenade because in 2000s in Mogadishu grenades were dumped on the streets, as kids we would play with them as a ball many kids lost their lives like this including some of my Koran school friends Awil and Liban may they rest in heaven when it exploded while kicking it around.
Thank you !

Agreed
@SylenceDogood1 New York City, where they stayed briefly before moving to Canada, to the Toronto neighbourhood of Rexdale, where there was a large Somali community and his family still resides. There, K'naan began learning English, partly by listening to hip hop albums by artists like Nas and Rakim. Born in Somalia, K'naan spent his childhood in Mogadishu and lived there during the Somali Civil War,
i need the instrumental to this track its such fire
Canada/U.S.A

You should be grateful for everything we have here. Try living in Somalia for a day & you'll understand.

Why is this not available on Apple Music or Spotify in my region (Sri Lanka)?
Yeah, im a 13 year old girl ! I don't really remember anything from somalia either ... i was young .
How does this video have only 27 000 views????
Dude!! I've been in Somalia almost half of my life and AK was never my babysitter #Peace
Keynaan caadi ayaa nooga waashe
@ThePunchClock I'm pretty sure K'naan knows what the lyrics are. It is his channel...
Man this really speaks to you if your an immigrant
he went to america first for a bit but then moved to canada and stayed
he says he went to toronto first (Rexdale) in the song. literally
Cras mussen the song is called - until the lion learns to speak.
@GentleKeks Have you heard Better?
@joonasse33 that is understandable hope he is well.
to me? when i hear a good song i feel good, and wen the singer is a somali? i feel happy
Sounds like 'ladysmith black mambazo' on back ground vocals, If it is how come they are not credited for it?
can someone help me find a specific song he made way back :)
In the song he sings mostly in somalian, so i'm kinda lost when it comes to a sample of lyrics...
but, i think it went something like, a me , aneshekana maneskekana, or something :)
Anyway, it's not the song called somalia... i would really appreciate it :) thanks :)
Its called america
Its called America ft Mos def

Does the background music like a slow version of "Boom Boom, Ain't It Great to be Crazy" to anyone else? Start singing it from 1:14 on.
Ak was his babysitter lol.

I'M STILL IN MOGADISHU K'NAAN
Everywhere, anywhere you go, its going to be fucked up in its own way.
I shit you not, i ant afraid...just yes
RAP= Rhymes And Poet
He kind of goes over board of what happens since he want's action in Somalia but right now it's honestly cooling down with violence. I think he left that place when america attacked it so it would probably have the worst amount of violence then but frankly it's hard to tell.
