MUSIC OF THE DAY... K'NAAN - THE WALL

K'naan was born Keinan Abdi Warsame in 1978. He is a Somali Canadian poet, rapper, singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist. Yeah he really is a complete package... :)

He is one poet I think would appeal to any one with his unique style of presenting his words and conveying his message.
I remember I got so obsessed with him some years back that I attempted sketching his picture off his album cover... LOLz! #Nohomo though... This song "THE WALL" off album titled "Country, God or the girl" is one of his very many works I find so interesting so I decided to share it so you all can have your say on what you think about  it... Cheers!!

You don't have to launch your missile to break down my defense

you don't need a fighter jet to end our arguments

we don't have to be like everyone to use our common sense

so I guess its time we burned the documents

cause I'm crazy and you crazy

so there aint a thing to lose

except our pride its suicide of all we ever knew

in some ways we're East and West the wall is coming down

sometimes we celebrate other times we say what have we done

and i feel you holding in and I'm holding on too

no matter what we say or do the wall is coming down

The wall is coming down

Down down down
I see you coming 'round
'Cause your wall is coming down

SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW

I don't have to build a fortress to hide what you can't see
I don't have to be the master and hold onto the key
Sometimes I feel so certain that we were meant to be
But I guess it's fine if you disagree

'Cause I'm crazy and you're crazy and there ain't a thing to lose
Except our pride it's suicide of all we ever knew
In some ways we're east and west and the wall is coming down
Some times we celebrate other times we say what have we done
And I feel you holding on and I'm holding on too
But no matter what we say or do the wall is coming down
The wall is coming down
Down down down
I see you coming 'round
'Cause the wall is coming down

So whenever we turn the wheel peace talking make a deal
You remind me of Palestine and I feel so Israel
Look at all the walls I've built and look at all the guards you've killed
And if the gates would open would it be more loving
Or would all my fears turn real
So for now I suppress your demonstration and I undress you here's the question
Is this love making or masturbation if every touch feels like instigation
I'm so sure if we all trusted the force of love
Even if our past is awful also break our pride in the torso
Whatever it takes for down these walls go

In some ways we're east and west and the wall is coming down
Some times we celebrate other times we say what have we done
And I feel you holding on and I'm holding on too
But no matter what we say or do the wall is coming down
The wall is coming down
Down down down
I see you coming 'round
'Cause the wall is coming down

Don't leave without having a say on what you think about this song.... Bless!!!
