Lyrics Til We Get There - K'naan
'Til
we
get
there
'Til
we
get
there
'Til
we
get
there
Yowego,
from
the
poorest
and
blackest
of
people
To
survive
in
the
streets
of
Modesho
The
most
dangerous
armed
and
lethal,
yet
peaceful
We
no
evil,
I
come
from
the
slums
that's
run
down
Spit
native
intelligent
tongue
sound
Would
rather
get
gunned
down
than
dumbed
down
So
come
down
Much
success
to
you
comrade
To
who
I
wrong,
if
it's
never
been
said
before,
my
bad
I
took
a
page
from
the
book
of
Martin
Luther
And
decided
that
it's
better
to
hug
ya
than
to
shoot
ya
I'm
sorry
homie
if
it's
not
what
ya
use
ta
But
the
way
that
we
livin'
these
black
lives
is
beautiful
All
the
things
we've
been
through
and
the
tree
we
done
bloomed
We
probably
family
but
we
never
knew
'Til
we
get
there,
I'm
on
your
side
'Til
we
get
there,
I'm
on
your
side
And
it
can
take
some
time,
'til
we
win
this
fight
'Til
we
get
there,
I'm
on
your
side,
yeah
That's
what's
called
solidarity
When
we
struggle
it's
therapy,
after
chaos
we
get
clarity
My
enemy's
enemy
is
my
man
remember?
I
ain't
tryin'
to
be
endin'
up
in
this
man's
dilemma
We
only
here
for
a
minute,
it's
what
you
make
it
so
live
it
See,
I'm
a
ryder
and
I'm
gon'
be
remembered
For
those
of
you
not
born,
to
those
of
you
not
here
I
wish
you
the
best
and
that's
real
This
ain't
ya
average,
when
they
portray
us
they
say
"all
savage"
Cause
we
have
it,
blast
it,
won't
stash
it
Cause
we
fight
to
the
death
and
manage
To
makes
songs
of
struggle
and
to
habits
And
dammit,
if
I
don't
get
even
It's
chant
down
Babylon
season
Die
for
Nee
Orleans
to
Cleveland
'Til
we
even,
we
not
believin'
'Til
we
get
there,
I'm
on
your
side,
yeah
'Til
we
get
there,
I'm
on
your
side
And
it
can
take
some
time,
'til
we
win
this
fight
'Til
we
get
there,
I'm
on
your
side,
yeah
I
love
when
we
makin'
plays
I
love
all
our
brilliant
ways
I
love
when
we
get
paid
and
never
move
away
from
the
hood
We
keep
gettin'
while
the
gettin'
is
good
You
right
at
home
in
our
neck
of
the
woods
Cause
we
people,
momma
said
treat
others
like
you
want
'em
to
treat
you
We
just
wanna
live
and
be
peaceful
Long
as
it
makes
sense,
I'm
a
have
patience
Especially
with
my
brothas
I
go
back
in
the
day
with
We
speak
the
same
language,
suffer
the
same
dangers
Cause
our
children
are
victims
of
lead
paint
chips
Out
in
L.A.
they
put
the
black
against
the
Mexicans
Old
rivaling's
is
throwin'
up
they
sets
again
They
put
the
short
against
the
tall
and
the
old
vers
the
new
Pretty
soon
it's
gon'
be
me
against
you
All
the
things
we
been
through
and
the
tree
that
we
bloomed
I
wish
you
much
success
and
stay
true
'Til
we
get
there,
I'm
on
your
side
'Til
we
get
there,

on
your
side,

some
time,

win
this
fight
