In The Beginning Lyrics - Singles - K'naan

YEOW! 

SO! 

In the beginning 

there was a hum 

from a poet whose pulse fell 

DRUM DRUM DRUM! 

He would perform prayers and all 

till one day he heard a voice call 

COME COME COME! 

Sus'pi'cious he moved 

with vicious caution 

Dismisses, 

he thinks is a little often 

People get held back 

by the void inside 'em.

YO! 

The void said, 

I'm poised to speak inside you... 

"Rejoice then ...please let me invite you 

...To evil, greed and lies too." 

YEAH! 

Confused and dazed 

he moved in ways 

he soon became "Hakuna" 

BOOM BOOM BOOM 

A knock on his door, his heart is no more 

A knock on his door, his soul is no more 

Yeah... 

That was in the beginnin' 

As the story goes on... 

So - 

Photos 

The poet's got a proposal 

he would always hope but never know 

what it feels 

to be free 

He would be the frozen 

imposed as the chosen, 

all laws oppose him 

But it would be greed 

That's got him there 

he's power-hungry, 

and proud too 

People don't care, he will just care 

Evil don't care, he will just prayer... 

Yeah 

That was In the beginning. 

there was a hum 

...then things changed 

They say- 

it is better to light a candle than to curse the dark 

in the eyes of the youth 

there are question marks 

like freedom 

freedom for the mind and soul, 

we don't see them 

see them for their worth at all, 

that's why we lead em 

lead em to these wars 

and what is it we feed em 

feed em our impurities 

and who it is we treat em 

treat em like the enemy 

humanity will need em 

need em like the blood we spill 

and we're freedom 

freedom for the hearts we fill 

we mislead em 

they hunger for the love we give 

but we cheat em 

the guys beat him and all he wants 

is his freedom, 

so they defeat him, 

whatever spirit he's got 

"beat him" 

and they teach him 

the rest of the world don't need him 

and he believes 

in the disease that he's heathen 

Put up your fists if all you want is freedom 

Put up your fists if all you want is - 

That was in the beginning... 

then things changed. 

yeah 

and we keep holdin' on, 

and we keep bein' strong... 

and we keep goin' on 

and on and on and on...
