Lyrics Fatima - K'naan
Picture
the
morning
taste
and
devour
We
rise
early
pace
up
the
hour
Streets
is
bustling
hustling
their
heart
out
You
can't
have
the
sweet
with
no
sour
Spices
herbs
the
sweet
scent
of
flower
We
came
out
precisely
the
hour
Clouds
disappear
the
sun
shows
the
power
No
chance
of
a
probable
shower
I
fell
in
love
with
my
neighbors
daughter
I
wanted
to
protect
and
support
her
Never
mind
I'm
just
12
and
a
quarter
I
had
dreams
beyond
our
border.
Is
it
true
when
they
say
all
you
need
is
just
love,
Is
it
true
What
about
those
who
have
loved
Only
to
find
that
it's
taken
away
And
why
do
they
say
that
the
children
have
rights
to
be
free
To
be
free
What
about
those
who
I've
known
Whose
memory
still
lives
inside
of
me.
Fatima,
What
did
the
Young
Man
say
Before
he
stole
you
away
On
that
fateful
day
Fatima
Fatima,
Did
he
know
your
name
Or
the
plans
we
made,
To
go
to
New
York
City,
Fatima
And
after
school
we
studied
the
lessons
I
ask
God
to
slow
down
the
seconds
He
does
the
opposite
that's
what
I'm
guessing
I
better
chill
and
count
my
own
blessings
Fatima,
Fatima
what
is
the
matter
How
come
you
ain't
come
up
the
ladder
So
we
can
be
like
there's
no
tomorrow
Damn
you
gonna
make
me
wait
until
tomorrow
She
spoke
Arabic
and
Swahili
She'd
say
Upendo
(Swahili
for
love)
Anta
Habibi
(Arabic
for,
you
are
my
love/dearest
friend)
You
so
bright,
you
shine
like
my
TV
Then
one
day
she
never
came
to
meet
me
Is
it
true
when
they
say
all
you
need
is
just
love,
Is
it
true
What
about
those
who
have
loved
Only
to
find
that
it's
taken
away
And
why
do
they
say
that
the
children
have
rights
to
be
free
To
be
free
What
about
those
who
I've
known
Whose
memory
still
lives
inside
of
me.
Fatima,
What
did
the
Young
Man
say
Before
he
stole
you
away
On
that
fateful
day
Fatima
Fatima,
Did
he
know
your
name
Or
the
plans
we
made,
To
go
to
New
York
City,
Fatima
(Repeat)
If
beauty
was
in
the
eyes
of
beholder
How
come
everyone
hushed
when
she
walked
by
How
come
girls
would
look
just
to
scold
her
How
come
the
angel
wanted
to
hold
her?
Fatima,
Fatima
I'm
in
America
I
make
rhymes
and
I
make
them
delicate
You
would
have
liked
the
parks
in
Connecticut
You
would
have
said
I'm
working
too
hard
again.
Damn
you
shooter,
Damn
you
the
building
Whose
walls
hid
the
blood
she
was
spilling
Damn
you
Country
so
good
at
killing
Damn
you
feeling,
for
persevering
Is
it
true
when
they
say
all
you
need
is
just
love,
Is
it
true
What
about
those
who
have
loved
Only
to
find
that
it's
taken
away
And
why
do
they
say
that
the
children
have
rights
to
be
free
To
be
free
What
about
those
who
I've
known
Whose
memory
still
lives
inside
of
me.
Fatima,
What
did
the
Gun
Man
Say
Before
he
took
you
away
on
that
fateful
day
Fatima
Did
he
know
your
name,
or
the
plans
we
made
To
go
to
New
York
City
(Repeat)
Fatima.
(Spoken)
Now
I
just
want
to
make
it
clear,
I
don't
want
you
to
shed
a
tear.
Because
this
here,
is
a
celebration,
We're
not
mourning,
We're
celebrating
Yeah
So
baby
don't
cry,
Please
don't
let
the
tears
fall
So
don't
cry.
