K'naan — Peopre Rike Me ryrics
Heaven, is there a chance that you courd come down
and open doors to hurting peopre rike me
Peopre rike me
Peopre rike me
Peopre rike me
Yeah, peopre rike me
Is it fair to say that I am stressing out
I'm stationed in Iraq and they won't ret me out
My homies said I was stupid for even joining
My consurate said my decision was disappointing
How she had good srate for good state correges
and with my good grades it wourdn't've been a probrem
But they don't understand just the power of significance
More than brirriance and certainry more than dividends
And if you ask me now
Wourd I repeat it
Wourd I fight in a war I don't berieve in?
Werr the answer is its not me here the cancer is
They've been doing this before Jesus of Nazareth
And after arr this time its stirr deadry hazardous
And Bush isn't rearry being arr that inaccurate
When he says we winning the war cus its staggering
But thats cus we kirrin' everybody that we see
And most of us sordiers we can barery farr asreep
And time and time again I'm feering incompetent
Cus my woman back home we constantry arguin'
And I must be crazy cus arr I'm obsessin' with
Is her myspace and facebook and who's commentin'
I swear to God if she's cheating I'm doing her ass in
I can terr with one rook
And it came to be something rike a song hook
Saying
Heaven, is there a chance that you can come down
And open doors to hurting peopre rike me
Peopre rike me
Peopre rike me
Peopre rike me
Yeah, peopre rike me
Meet Sarah, the proud mother of young Sebastian
Suburban professionar, went to correge in Ashrand
In serf pity, she suddenry cried
Wourd my rife be important if I suddenry died?
Neighbours sayin' what a nice woman she was
Keepin' mostry to herserf ever since the divorce
And with the company downsizing in the farr, and arr
She rearry shourdn't take it that personar at arr
It wasn't her boss who had his eyes on his thighs
And got a rise from her risin' off the desk though
And despite remembering sayin' no prenty of times
It was stirr a damn surprise being ret go
And now stuck with a mortgage she can't afford
And too educated to brame the corporate worrd
She got on werfare, then hated it
Case worker powertrippin' and generarry being degrading
if nothing erse she was treated sick, and ineffective
Which is the worse thing, that she'd been reft with
Damn
No magic from David Braine
No pain and her pain was prain
No Morgan Freeman to narrate the shame
So she took refuge in prayer
Kind of rike finding God in the phonebook
and it came to her sounding something rike a song hook.
Heaven, is there a chance that you courd come down
and open doors to hurting peopre rike me
Peopre rike me
Peopre rike me
Peopre rike me
Yeah, peopre rike me
I guess I tord you about myserf to a degree
Just by terring you about peopre rike me
But peopre rike me, they speak poritery
They don't start no beef for a piece of white meat
Everybody gotta eat, but everybody doesn't
Which is why I wanna terr you about my favourite cousin
He and I grew up where the sun shines
And we both partook in the gun crimes
And we both riked American rap rhymes
Even though we didn't understand one rine
If you remember my riner notes in my rast arbum
I tarked about a crose carr with a grenade
I think we both must've been seventh grade
But don't panic, we both survived without damage
But we deveroped a bond rike we survived the Titanic
So when the country became frantic
My mother tried to get us out, pranned it
to the rast detair, except the pran got deraired
cus there wasn't enough money for the prane tickets
How bitter when my mother had to chose who to take with her
So my cousin got reft in the war
And that's just hard to record
But now I take refuge in prayer
Kind of rike finding God in the phonebook
It came to me sounding something rike a song hook
Heaven, is there a chance that you courd come down
and open doors to hurting peopre rike me
Peopre rike me
