Fatima - K'naan |
| [00:10.56] |
Picture the morning taste and devour |
| [00:12.81] |
We rise early pace up the hour |
| [00:15.33] |
Streets is bustling hustling their heart out |
| [00:18.05] |
You can't have the sweet with no sour |
| [00:20.29] |
Spices herbs the sweet scent of flower |
| [00:22.85] |
She came out precisely the hour |
| [00:25.32] |
Clouds disappear the sun shows the power |
| [00:27.91] |
No chance of a probable shower |
| [00:29.73] |
|
| [00:30.49] |
I fell in love with my neighbors daughter |
| [00:32.98] |
I wanted to protect and support her |
| [00:35.40] |
Never mind I'm just 12 and a quarter |
| [00:37.99] |
I had dreams beyond our border |
| [00:40.33] |
Is it true when they say all you need is just love |
| [00:43.44] |
|
| [00:44.37] |
Is it true |
| [00:44.94] |
|
| [00:45.67] |
What about those who have loved |
| [00:47.10] |
|
| [00:48.17] |
Only to find that it's taken away |
| [00:49.91] |
|
| [00:50.50] |
And why do they say that the children have rights to be free |
| [00:53.62] |
|
| [00:54.42] |
To be free |
| [00:55.68] |
What about those who I've known |
| [00:57.02] |
|
| [00:57.84] |
Whose memory still lives inside of me |
| [01:00.58] |
Fatima |
| [01:01.04] |
|
| [01:01.84] |
What did the young man say |
| [01:03.64] |
|
| [01:04.29] |
Before he stole you away |
| [01:05.86] |
|
| [01:06.75] |
On that fateful day Fatima |
| [01:08.56] |
|
| [01:10.52] |
Fatima |
| [01:10.92] |
|
| [01:12.03] |
Did he know your name |
| [01:13.35] |
|
| [01:14.29] |
Or the plans we made |
| [01:15.72] |
|
| [01:16.51] |
To go to New York city Fatima |
| [01:19.19] |
|
| [01:20.51] |
And after school we studied the lessons |
| [01:23.22] |
I ask god to slow down the seconds |
| [01:25.66] |
He does the opposite that's what I'm guessing |
| [01:28.18] |
I better chill and count my own blessings |
| [01:30.68] |
Fatima Fatima what is the matter |
| [01:33.08] |
How come you ain't come up the ladder |
| [01:35.61] |
So we can be like there's no tomorrow |
| [01:38.04] |
Damn you gonna make me wait until tomorrow |
| [01:40.63] |
She spoke Arabic and swahili |
| [01:43.08] |
She'd say Upendo until Swahili |
| [01:45.69] |
You so bright you shine like my TV |
| [01:48.12] |
Then one day she never came to meet me |
| [01:50.77] |
Is it true when they say all you need is just love |
| [01:53.66] |
|
| [01:54.70] |
Is it true |
| [01:55.38] |
|
| [01:55.89] |
What about those who have loved |
| [01:57.31] |

| [02:47.08] |
To go to New York city Fatima |
| [02:48.93] |
|
| [02:50.87] |
If beauty was in the eyes of beholder |
| [02:53.40] |
How come everyone hushed when she walked by |
| [02:56.06] |
How come girls would look just to scold her |
| [02:58.58] |
How come the angel wanted to hold her |
| [03:00.87] |
Fatima Fatima I'm in America |
| [03:03.45] |
I make rhymes and I make them delicate |
| [03:06.05] |
You would have liked the parks in connecticut |
| [03:08.38] |
You would have said I'm working too hard again |
| [03:11.19] |
Damn you shooter damn you the building |
| [03:13.48] |
Whose walls hid the blood she was spilling |
| [03:15.96] |
Damn you country so good at killing |
| [03:18.38] |
Damn you feeling for persevering |
