K' naan - In the Beginning |
| [00:05.89] |
|
| [00:07.89] |
dì yī cì zhì zuò qǐng jiàn liàng! |
| [00:13.73] |
YEOW! ! ! ! |
| [00:18.45] |
SO! |
| [00:19.14] |
In the beginning |
| [00:20.54] |
there was a hum |
| [00:21.17] |
from a poet whose pulse fell |
| [00:22.05] |
DRUM DRUM DRUM! |
| [00:23.06] |
|
| [00:24.03] |
He would perform prayers and all |
| [00:24.76] |
till one day he heard a voice call |
| [00:27.15] |
COME COME COME! |
| [00:28.10] |
|
| [00:28.94] |
Sus' pi' cious he moved |
| [00:29.53] |
with vicious caution |
| [00:30.40] |
Dismisses, |
| [00:31.87] |
he thinks is a little often |
| [00:33.22] |
People get held back |
| [00:34.87] |
by the void inside ' em. |
| [00:36.39] |
|
| [00:36.58] |
YO! |
| [00:37.45] |
|
| [00:38.15] |
The void said, |
| [00:38.99] |
I' m poised to speak inside you. . . |
| [00:40.46] |
" Rejoice then. . . please let me invite you |
| [00:42.03] |
. . . To evil, greed and lies too. " |
| [00:44.13] |
|
| [00:46.03] |
YEAH! |
| [00:46.50] |
|
| [00:47.00] |
Confused and dazed |
| [00:48.14] |
he moved in ways |
| [00:49.04] |
he soon became " Hakuna" |
| [00:49.95] |
BOOM BOOM BOOM |
| [00:51.02] |
|
| [00:51.65] |
A knock on his door, his heart is no more |
| [00:53.57] |
A knock on his door, his soul is no more |
| [00:56.67] |
|
| [00:58.62] |
Yeah. . . |
| [01:02.63] |
That was in the beginnin' |
| [01:07.63] |
As the story goes on. . . |
| [01:09.63] |
|
| [01:12.63] |
So - |
| [01:13.63] |
|
| [01:13.83] |
The poet' s got a proposal |
| [01:14.63] |
he would always hope but never know |
| [01:16.63] |
what it feels |
| [01:17.63] |
to be free |
| [01:18.63] |
He would be the frozen |
| [01:19.63] |
imposed as the chosen, |
| [01:20.63] |
all laws oppose him |
| [01:21.63] |
But it would be greed |
| [01:22.33] |
|
| [01:22.63] |
That' s got him there |
| [01:24.03] |
he' s power-hungry, |
| [01:25.63] |
and proud too |
| [01:26.63] |
|
| [01:27.63] |
People don' t care, he will just care |
| [01:29.53] |
Evil don' t care, he will just prayer. . . |
| [01:32.63] |
|
| [01:35.63] |
Yeah |
| [01:37.63] |
That was In the beginning. . |
| [01:40.63] |
there was a hum |
| [01:44.63] |
. . . then things changed |
| [01:46.63] |
|
| [01:48.63] |
Yeah |
| [01:49.63] |
They say- |
| [01:50.03] |
it is better to light a candle than to curse the dark |
| [01:51.63] |
in the eyes of the youth |
| [01:53.63] |
there are question marks |
| [01:53.93] |
like freedom |
| [01:54.93] |
freedom for the mind and soul, |
| [01:56.63] |
we don' t see them |
| [01:57.63] |
see them for their worth at all, |
| [01:58.63] |
that' s why we lead em |
| [01:59.63] |
lead em to these wars |
| [02:00.63] |
and what is it we feed em |
| [02:01.63] |
feed em our impurities |
| [02:02.63] |
and who it is we treat em |
| [02:03.63] |
treat em like the enemy |
| [02:04.63] |
humanity will need em |
| [02:05.73] |
need em like the blood we spill |
| [02:07.13] |
and we' re freedom |
| [02:08.13] |
freedom for the hearts we fill |
| [02:09.93] |
we mislead em |
| [02:10.93] |
they hunger for the love we give |
| [02:11.93] |
but we cheat em |
| [02:12.93] |
the guys beat him and all he wants |
| [02:13.93] |
is his freedom, |
| [02:15.03] |
so they defeat him, |
| [02:16.03] |
whatever spirit he' s got |
| [02:17.03] |
" beat him" |
| [02:17.93] |
and they teach him |
| [02:18.93] |
the rest of the world don' t need him |
| [02:19.93] |
and he believes |
| [02:20.53] |
in the disease that he' s heathen |
| [02:22.13] |
Put up your fists if all you want is freedom |
| [02:24.73] |
Put up your fists if all you want is - |
| [02:26.13] |
|
| [02:32.13] |
That was in the beginning. . . |
| [02:36.73] |
then things changed. . |
| [02:38.13] |
|
| [02:43.13] |
yeah |
| [02:44.13] |
|
| [02:44.93] |
and we keep holdin' on, |
| [02:46.13] |
and we keep bein' strong. . . |
| [02:48.53] |
and we keep goin' on |
| [02:50.13] |
and on and on and on. . . |
| [02:52.13] |
|
| [02:53.13] |
and we keep holdin' on, |
| [02:55.13] |
and we keep bein' strong. . . |
| [02:58.13] |
and we keep goin' on |
| [03:00.13] |
and on and on and on. . . |
| [03:02.13] |
|
| [03:03.13] |
and we keep holdin' on, |
| [03:05.13] |
and we keep bein' strong. . . |
| [03:07.13] |
and we keep goin' on |
| [03:09.13] |
and on and on and on. . . |
| [03:11.13] |
|
| [03:12.13] |
and we keep holdin' on, |
| [03:14.13] |
and we keep bein' strong. . . |
| [03:16.13] |
and we keep goin' on |
| [03:18.13] |
and on and on and on. . . |
