K'Naan - I Was Stabbed By Satan Lyrics






[speaking]
1.2.1.2

[Chorus:]
I was stabbed by satan, on the day that I was born,
I was promised loving, but instead I was torn,
La la la, la la la, my heart bled fear,
La la la, la la la, I shed tears.

[Verse 1:]
A poor black ghetto child,
He can't shoot and he can't go run them out,
There's no school and the kids go runnin wild,
The police and the court wanna run them out,
He's so cold, and the po po hate em all,
He ain't seen his daddy since back in '84,
But oh well so it be, now hes in jail,
His mothers stressin just to get him out on bail,
Now sing it out.

[Chorus]

[Verse 2:]
And so the story goes on, There's no glory in the war he takes a tote on
His own body, but his buddies wouldn't of rolled on,
So bloody when the car comes to a stop,
The police with the big glocks, will em out
They say freeze but there's only one comin out,
There's 2 dead with a legal gun to his head,
It's stupid, should of played ball instead,
Let's sing it out.

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]
So one day, when it's all said and done,
My life will be the bluest rap song ever sung,
My verses will be curses to the rich and all sorts of authority will cease to exist,
My daughters will be free of wars in my honor your fist,
Will raise in the air, in the silence of revolution, my face will appear,
Like the vision of a prisoner with his last beer,
This song is a poem and the whole poem is a tear,
Dropped in your ear.

[Chorus]

[Chorus: with ad libs]

[talking]
So why do kids cry when there born,
Ever ask yourself that, I mean there's no scientific reason explanin that
Well it is said satan stabs a child at birth, as an introduction to pain,
Y'know, welcome to the world right.

    R.... P....

    +Robert Pettersen Some people are just more lucky then others. Life is so unfair.

  12. T.... ....

  13. b.... ....

    this song is a poem and all poems are tear , mush respect to ma man K'naan

  14. D.... T....

    Hiii,
    It is stupid at the first place, to think that satan excist (my opinion).

    okay, so the most important reason, Satan is the badguy in Christianity an jewism.
    NOT IN ISLAM

    byee,

    D.... T....

    Je Moeder Satan existed for ever bro real shit

  19. l.... ....

    EVERYONE ONE OF US EXCEPT PROPHET (jesus) ISA (peace be upon him) Allah's miracle!!!

  20. J.... V....

    word, much respect.

  21. T.... ....

    i think fighting over religion beliefs is primitive and ignorant.islam and christianity as Love when combined together.the only thing we all must fight against is evil.i am christian and i dont see a problem with islam,rastafarian or anything as long as we all praise the True God and do his will

  22. C.... S....

    NEW SOMALI RAPPER, FRESH SOUND, FRESH LYRICS , ON MY PAGE. Ca$h
    and he is a patriot. i bet you wouldn't regret if took a glance........
    Sorry K'naan for spaming your videos lmao.....

  23. s.... k....

    so 99% of christians

  24. J.... ....

    The bible is a book. I'm not being forced to read it and it's not imposing it's belief on me. However, you come on a music video about muslim concepts written by a muslim artist and try to preach your Christian beliefs onto everybody who watches it. That's where I lose respect for you.

  25. k.... m....

    damn!!!!! i like the music bt the lyrics is killing meh

  26. M.... ....

    In the bible you can read that jesus is the son of god, so whats so wrong on my message?

  27. J.... ....

    No I don't mind Christians. It's the self-righteous Christians that attempt to force and impose their views on people that I can't stand.

    J.... ....

    JoseTabata31 same with the atheists that try to push "science" on everyone

  28. M.... ....

    christians?

  29. J.... ....

    I HATE people like you.

  30. d.... ....

    I was kissed by God- lucky me *shrug*

  31. d.... ....

    says the guy listening to music, oh the irony

  32. j.... ....

    No! Muslims are crazy!

  33. M.... ....

    i'll pray for you.

  34. a.... ....

    Fuck you dude

  35. M.... ....

    Jesus is the son of God!

  36. P.... ....

    It's actually "my heart bled fear" not tears.

  37. S.... ....

    I'm fairly sure that the 'reason' newborns cry is to rupture a membrane which kept amniotic fluid out of the trachea in the womb, inflate the lungs, and clear any fluid that may be in the respiratory tract

  38. n.... ....

    @smithsmithsmith2000
    he's so poor *

  39. c.... ....

    @ilccks Sadly 10 now :(

  40. F.... ....

    just so ya know its, "my heart bled fear" on the chorus, not sure if anyone mentioned that. It would kinda be an awful chorus if he just repeated tears.

  41. t.... ....

    Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. Psalm 51:5

  42. P.... N....

    i sounds happy, but why am i shivering? then again, the lyrics.. maybe its just the picture...

  43. P.... P....

  46. W.... G....

    Child cries at birth coz of Satan's stab. K'naan, you are one of a kind. Fantastic! Go K'naan...Go

  47. k.... ....

    The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: "The Satan verily stabs every human being in the waist in time of birth, except Jesus the son of Mary...”

  48. S.... V....

  87. d.... ....

    everyoneeee is equal, stop being so predjudice against people just because of the color of skin, money and other issues involving the government.

  88. h.... ....

    @fabolous301 its an old somali saying,

  94. M.... ....

    @ArcticZephyr man but if there isntt any money there wont be any envy, no hate, if there is no religion no hate again, and we would live in peace man. But that is utopia its just that there are always individuals that want to be more wealthy or what ever and they want to be better from other people in that way. I guess utopia is possible only in future like 500 years from now :D peace! :D

  95. l.... ....

    @gusubu17 This is one of the most real things ive ever read

  96. G.... T....

    your arguments are futile.... stop with the vanity, your killing any message one might obtain to help one's self. Here is about K'naan... not about governments and ism's, its about k'naan exploring himself and sharing that with us... your vanities are choking his art, and your brains are too busy to notice. Relax, Breathe, Love.

  97. a.... ....

    @ArcticZephyr propaganda is used by governments, public relations is used by corporations. Edward Bernays pretty much created public relations. Propaganda and public relations are very similar. When a government uses propaganda against another country its called ideological subversion. Thats how I understand it.

  98. J.... G....

    @sircesare Just gettin stoned listenin to some good music. I see this debate has continued. I like what we got goin here cesare haha. Hope all is good with you man. Keep readin'. An good shit Zephyr, you know what you're talking about.

  99. s.... ....

    @ArcticZephyr
    hehe you have hit the jackpot and yet you do not see the truth past it at least you know all this advertising is nothing more then propaganda u are one step away from understanding.

    but who the hell am i to think im correct i might just be a dumb guy thinking a government who is rightious is the wrong gov for us.

    hey thanks for the long debate man and thank you for not being a dick like everyone else in YT :) god bless you and your family (which ever god you believe in)
