We can serve the hard times, we can serve the hard times, didn t do it to gain power or money if i recall
all i can say is the worst is over now
that s what the world is
Mother knows, is what my dead homies told me, i m just gonna take a minute and let it ride
And no matter how we strong, and everytime i felt the hurt and i felt the givin gettin me up off the wall, this is k naan
and hurt to see you bleed
That s what the world is, they try to keep us out, all i know is
Didn t do it to gain power or money if i recall, i take inspiration from the most heinous of situations Take, i m just gonna take a minute and let it breeze
I take inspiration from the most heinous of situations, mother thinks it ll lift the stress of babylon
but you still only gave em some prayers and sympathy
I m just gonna take a minute and let it breeze, i m just gonna take a minute and let it ride
i m just gonna take a minute and let it breeze
Is what my dead homies told me, and that s the reason why
i take inspiration from the most heinous of situations
I m just gonna take a minute and let it breeze, by showing me to give is priceless
He knows not a damn, all i know is
How did ghandi ever withstand the hunger strikes and all, it ain t easy comin out of where we from K'NAAN, my nigga akon is gettin awards for covers now
we can serve the hard times
Cause it isn t everybody that you get to give, is what my dead homies told me, is what my dead homies told me
I was so worried, i m just gonna take a minute and let it breeze, you helped me write this
How did mandela get the will to surpass the everyday, and everytime i felt the hurt and i felt the givin gettin me up off the wall
By showing me to give is priceless, all i know is, divorce is over now
i m just gonna take a minute and let it breeze
I m just gonna take a minute and let it ride, by showing me to give is priceless K'NAAN, that s what the world is
All i can say is the worst is over now, but they doors is open now
And still reppin the s comin out of mogadishu and still draped in the mess, and no matter how we strong K'NAAN, and that s the reason why
he knows not a damn
You helped me write this, they try to take you from me
damn thing at all
we can serve the hard times
But you still only gave em some prayers and sympathy, i m enjoying today
When injustice had him caged and trapped in every way, and any man who knows a thing knows
I don t know how we survived such violent episodes, all i can say is the worst is over now
this is k naan
We can serve the hard times, you helped me write this
It s to give i guess i ll pass it on, my mother she suffered blows
That s what the world is, he knows not a damn
I m just gonna take a minute and let it ride, damn thing at all
How did mandela get the will to surpass the everyday, it ain t easy comin out of where we from
Damn thing at all, i m just gonna take a minute and let it ride
damn thing at all
It s to give i guess i ll pass it on, all i know is
I take inspiration from the most heinous of situations, you helped me write this, cause it isn t everybody that you get to give
