[00:01.12] K'naan - In the Beginning
[00:05.89]
[00:07.89] 第一次制作请见谅！
[00:13.73] YEOW!!!!
[00:18.45] SO!
[00:19.14] In the beginning
[00:20.54] there was a hum
[00:21.17] from a poet whose pulse fell
[00:22.05] DRUM DRUM DRUM!
[00:23.06]
[00:24.03] He would perform prayers and all
[00:24.76] till one day he heard a voice call
[00:27.15] COME COME COME!
[00:28.10]
[00:28.94] Sus'pi'cious he moved
[00:29.53] with vicious caution
[00:30.40] Dismisses,
[00:31.87] he thinks is a little often
[00:33.22] People get held back
[00:34.87] by the void inside 'em.
[00:36.39]
[00:36.58] YO!
[00:37.45]
[00:38.15] The void said,
[00:38.99] I'm poised to speak inside you...
[00:40.46] "Rejoice then ...please let me invite you
[00:42.03] ...To evil, greed and lies too."
[00:44.13]
[00:46.03] YEAH!
[00:46.50]
[00:47.00] Confused and dazed
[00:48.14] he moved in ways
[00:49.04] he soon became "Hakuna"
[00:49.95] BOOM BOOM BOOM
[00:51.02]
[00:51.65] A knock on his door, his heart is no more
[00:53.57] A knock on his door, his soul is no more
[00:56.67]
[00:58.62] Yeah...
[01:02.63] That was in the beginnin'
[01:07.63] As the story goes on...
[01:09.63]
[01:12.63] So -
[01:13.63]
[01:13.83] The poet’s got a proposal
[01:14.63] he would always hope but never know
[01:16.63] what it feels
[01:17.63] to be free
[01:18.63] He would be the frozen
[01:19.63] imposed as the chosen,
[01:20.63] all laws oppose him
[01:21.63] But it would be greed
[01:22.33]
[01:22.63] That’s got him there
[01:24.03] he's power-hungry,
[01:25.63] and proud too
[01:26.63]
[01:27.63] People don’t care, he will just care
[01:29.53] Evil don't care, he will just prayer...
[01:32.63]
[01:35.63] Yeah
[01:37.63] That was In the beginning..
[01:40.63] there was a hum
[01:44.63] ...then things changed
[01:46.63]
[01:48.63] Yeah
[01:49.63] They say-
[01:50.03] it is better to light a candle than to curse the dark
[01:51.63] in the eyes of the youth
[01:53.63] there are question marks
[01:53.93] like freedom
[01:54.93] freedom for the mind and soul,
[01:56.63] we don't see them
[01:57.63] see them for their worth at all,
[01:58.63] that’s why we lead em
[01:59.63] lead em to these wars
[02:00.63] and what is it we feed em
[02:01.63] feed em our impurities
[02:02.63] and who it is we treat em
[02:03.63] treat em like the enemy
[02:04.63] humanity will need em
[02:05.73] need em like the blood we spill
[02:07.13] and we're freedom
[02:08.13] freedom for the hearts we fill
[02:09.93] we mislead em
[02:10.93] they hunger for the love we give
[02:11.93] but we cheat em
[02:12.93] the guys beat him and all he wants
[02:13.93] is his freedom,
[02:15.03] so they defeat him,
[02:16.03] whatever spirit he’s got
[02:17.03] "beat him"
[02:17.93] and they teach him
[02:18.93] the rest of the world don’t need him
[02:19.93] and he believes
[02:20.53] in the disease that he’s heathen
[02:22.13] Put up your fists if all you want is freedom
[02:24.73] Put up your fists if all you want is -
[02:26.13]
[02:32.13] That was in the beginning...
[02:36.73] then things changed..
[02:38.13]
[02:43.13] yeah
[02:44.13]
[02:44.93] and we keep holdin' on,
