| [00:00.57] | {Chorus} |
| [00:00.82] | And any man who knows a thing knows, he knows not a damn, damn thing at all, |
| [00:06.01] | And everytime I felt the hurt and I felt the givin' gettin' me up off the wall, |
| [00:12.14] | I'm just gonna take a minute and let it ride, |
| [00:15.20] | I'm just gonna take a minute and let it breeze, |
| [00:17.89] | I'm just gonna take a minute and let it ride, |
| [00:20.64] | I'm just gonna take a minute and let it breeze, |
| [00:24.51] | How did Mandela get the will to surpass the everyday, |
| [00:26.64] | When injustice had him caged and trapped in every way, |
| [00:30.70] | How did Ghandi ever withstand the hunger strikes and all, |
| [00:33.70] | Didn't do it to gain power or money if I recall, |
| [00:36.89] | It's to give; I guess I'll pass it on, |
| [00:40.39] | Mother thinks it'll lift the stress of babylon, |
| [00:42.40] | Mother knows, my mother she suffered blows, |
| [00:46.15] | I don't know how we survived such violent episodes, |
| [00:49.22] | I was so worried, and hurt to see you bleed, |
| [00:52.40] | But as soon as you came out the hospital you gave me sweets, |
| [00:56.09] | Yeah, they try to take you from me, |
| [00:58.59] | But you still only gave 'em some prayers and sympathy, |
| [01:01.09] | Dear mama, you helped me write this, by showing me to give is priceless. |
| [01:06.22] | {Chorus} |
| [01:07.53] | And any man who knows a thing knows, he knows not a damn, damn thing at all, |
| [01:13.34] | And everytime I felt the hurt and I felt the givin' gettin' me up off the wall, |
| [01:19.15] | I'm just gonna take a minute and let it ride, |
| [01:23.22] | I'm just gonna take a minute and let it breeze, |
| [01:25.78] | I'm just gonna take a minute and let it ride, |
| [01:29.09] | I'm just gonna take a minute and let it breeze, |
| [01:31.90] | All I can say is the worst is over now, |
| [01:35.35] | We can serve the hard times, divorce is over now, |
| [01:38.34] | They try to keep us out, but they doors is open now, |
| [01:41.91] | My nigga Akon is gettin awards for covers now, |
| [01:44.41] | This is K'NAAN, and still reppin' the IS （?） |
| [01:48.03] | Comin' out of Mogadishu and still draped in the mess, |
| [01:50.78] | And no matter how we strong, homie, |
| [01:52.91] | It ain't easy comin out of where we from, homie. |
| [01:55.97] | And that's the reason why, I could never play for me, |
| [01:59.28] | Tell 'em the truth, is what my dead homies told me, |
| [02:02.16] | Oh yeah, I take inspiration from the most heinous of situations, |
| [02:06.22] | Creating medication out my own tripulations. |
| [02:09.03] | Dear Africa, you helped me write this, by showing me to give is priceless. |
| [02:14.72] | {Chorus} |
| [02:15.66] | And any man who knows a thing knows, he knows not a damn, damn thing at all, |
| [02:20.72] | And everytime I felt the hurt and I felt the givin' gettin' me up off the wall, |
| [02:27.60] | I'm just gonna take a minute and let it ride, |
