all smolians should be proud of you K'naan. I am an Ethiopian girl :) and I loooooooooooooove your music! If all rap musics had sense like urs, may be i would have been a fan of rap! GBU and all our Somalian brothers. Peace!!!
@@pyrosarcasticfloused to listen to this when it was coming out as a kid. Glad there are still a few people finding this stuff. Super underrated artist!
As an Ethiopian as much as I love this song and k'naan, I'm disappointed how mulatu astatke is so underrated to the the point no one talks this song is sampled from mulatu's work😫😫
well there is a lady but thats it shes a lady shes not dressed skimpy or dancing or being a thot or focused on much shes treated like a person not an object or girl...she is also gorgeous ...
Man I love K'naan's music. He has real passion put into all of his songs and I love his style, he's a great performer and I hope he makes more stuff like this.

He is an amazing MC... and to be honest I don't think I've heard him swear yet so he's doing pretty much the Fresh Prince thing and proving his lyrical worth based on... well... lyrics
knaan has been through alot of hardship, specially coming from somalia. he's not like those fake ass amerian rappers that talk about getting high all day. people, stop with da hatred, if ya dont like the song, why are u here?
hes the kind of guy I would buy an album from. Even those who like good and profound, heart touching music but use to download illegally would buy this guys album because he really deserves to be supported :D

its weird how good music like this is not listened to as much as the popular crap especially when it comes to hip hip or rap...anyone with musical taste would enjoy this beat yet its not what radio stations play or what kids look for...parents allow them to listen to bad music with bad messages but not good music that an adult can enjoy with good messages ..makes sense to me....
One of the most underrated songs of all time!!! The lyrics, the message, the beat & the swag is ridiculous!!! K'Naan's gotta be one of the most overlooked MC's coz his talent speaks for itself!!! We're fed garbage on radio & this type music is ignored & overlooked!!! Really sad!!!
I really look up to K'NAAN, not for money, the grind or anything like that.. I respect and look up to him because of his mental strength and purity of his body. Never tasted alcohol or drug, not even the common ones like coffee. The kid is really pure. Much love K'Naan, how you managed to produce with Bob Marleys son and not smoke some herb is amazing lol thats what I call mental strength!
Ya know, it's pretty awesome: this guy is from Somalia, he's had (most likely) a hella hard life, and he turns his pain into amazing music. K'NAAN is living, breathing proof that no matter the location, there are good people just as there are bad people. Thumbs up if you hate racism/bigotry. :)
Straight up DOPE! and this iz the first time hearing it and always been a fan of the chubster since 1990 when Chub Rock jump upon the scene with a lean and a pocket full a green , the green didn't symbolize he made on top.

This is music, no ladies no drugs and it's never getting old🏓 'Attitude comes out of struggle'
It can be played in a class room.
well there is a lady but thats it shes a lady shes not dressed skimpy or dancing or being a thot or focused on much shes treated like a person not an object or girl...she is also gorgeous ...
Depends which track if you're worried about swear words though.
TOLKA WAAYE MIAY HHHHH RAGEEDI WA RUNTA
I first heard K'naan in grad school when our professor played TIA for us.
Man I love K'naan's music. He has real passion put into all of his songs and I love his style, he's a great performer and I hope he makes more stuff like this.
'You're real but my real is 10 fold, my real makes your real a rental.' K'naan's lyrics glow like old guys who go bold!
What a lyrical genius
2020 i'm alone here 😢
Nope

UNDERATTED MUSIC
This deserves a billion views & I'm sure it will get it one day because this song still hits even after all this time
Don’t worry I’m listening to it every day it will reach 1 billion

*legend K'naan*
Bundle up my whole style is so cold
I glow like old guys who go bald
My flow got no front in the vocal
Your flow got no button its so old
I don't mean to sound like a showboat
But it's true my persona's no joke
I stepped into some kinda portal
I'm legend and sometimes I'm noble
I'm from the most risky zone, oh
No place is more shifty global
More pistols, Russian revolvers
We shootin' all that is normal
But it ain't just because we want to
We ain't got nowhere we can run to
Somebody please press the undo
They only teach us the things that guns do
They don't teach us the ABCs
We play on the hard concrete
All we got is life on the streets
All we got is life on the streets
They don't teach us the ABCs
We play on the hard concrete
All we got is life on the streets
All we got is life on the streets
Rock, you know my era
B-boy seasoning, salt -n- pepa
Grown and sexy, come with the extra
Crushed up linen, fly like sess-a
This type brew I gave it birth
Now it's time again to give it a verse
Jamaican born, not a fan of the ganja
? Brooklyn to Somalia
And it goes in the background
Playa, that is my sound
The green doesn't symbolize I made it on the top
Pioneer legend, and they call me Mr. Rock
No B word or N word, I don't need those words (no)
Respect for hers
The game dried up, so we come with the grease
Leadin' ya right and treatin' ya right, so peace
They don't teach us the ABCs
We play on the hard concrete
All we got is life on the streets
All we got is life on the streets
Superman is known by the locals
As this dude who's so fly it's global
Attitude that came outta struggle
Destitute but I make it hopeful
You real, but my real is tenfold
My real'll make yours a rental
Gangsta if at ease, essential
Fight with guns or utensils
So bold nothin's confidential
Breakfast was not continental
And lunch could not compliment all
We still become competent souls
These streets ain't paved with no gold
Matter fact someone stole the light bulb
Nobody fat enough for lypo
They don't teach us to read and write, so
They don't teach us the ABCs
We play on the hard concrete
All we got is life on the streets
All we got is life on the streets
So nice pro
it's Old Ethiopian classic music i don't say you stoll it but i'm proud of you nice work.
Bro, he mentioned that he sampled some songs when he was in Ethiopia.

One of the most underrated songs of all time!!! The lyrics, the message, the beat & the swag is ridiculous!!! K'Naan's gotta be one of the most overlooked MC's coz his talent speaks for itself!!! We're fed garbage on radio & this type music is ignored & overlooked!!! Really sad!!!
i agree bruh he's the most under rated rapper, yet he's unique talented music is still popping
i heard this song in a movie the Trotsky today ... nice ... love and respect
Still the best track in 2022
Shoutout to Ethiopian jazz legend mulatu astatke
K'naan's poetry and rapping are masterful. Chubb's are awesome too. Great stuff for someone like me who doesn't want to hear the barrage of profanity.
I luv your song and even i give your name to my second son( K'Naan Ermias ) from Ethiopia
Step up con los mejores temas ❤
2023, just as sweet as it was released
great breakdance song
Ikr
