原歌词

[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,

[01:44.41]	我是K'naan，仍代表着故乡索马里
[01:48.03]	我来自摩加迪沙城，将那里混乱不堪的记忆带在身上
[01:50.78]	无论如何我们已经强大起来了，我的朋友
[01:52.91]	但是朋友，我们离开我们的故乡并不容易
[01:55.97]	这也是我从不为我自己（而是为了非洲同胞）创作歌曲的原因
[01:59.28]	我逝世的朋友们对我说，要告诉他们事实的真相
[02:02.16]	嗯，我从曾经最坏的境遇中吸取创作的灵感
