K'Naan - The Dusty Foot Philosopher Lyrics
[Intro]
Yo, just imagine, like whistling down a desert or some shit
Don't this make you wanna swing like monkeys outta trees?
[Verse 1]
This amateur's famous,
All you fame getters,
Hate caterers,
Our main names are date of births,
On a later verse,
Make a nigger play reverse (move backwards),
Marching with some soldiers here,
We coming over there,
The kind of niggers soldiers fear,
You just gotta stare,
Please relax son,
I'm taking over like drug dealer cars to auctions,
Oh these are hungry men,
These are angry men,
Heard you got a lot of guts,
They'll call your bluff,
Your shit is laughable,
Why you rapping oh,
Why don't you just wrap sandwiches to earn a capital?
And have the shit that you spit,
And even have sick,
If you was doing my physical you couldn't have my shit,
Back to my verse flow,
I don't get shit yo,
My skills so bright when I spit my lips glow,
[Chorus]
The dusty foot philosopher
Ripping up kilometers
Winking at you officers da dum da dum da dum
The dusty foot philosopher
Sicking up the monitor
Waking up the auditors da dum da dum da dum
[Verse 2]
And I've seen war and some,
Survived the slaughter son,
Kids play cops and robbers and not with the water guns,
So yeah yeah picture me,
And big brotherly,
Walking through the fire,
We came to claim our victory,
And I roll with a harder pen,
I might start a trend,
Beat down a wack MC cause you know there's a lot of them,
Wait till my shit crashes,
Rip asses,
Women who give me neck suffer from whiplashes,
I frighten the masses,
Cause I'm that nasty,
I heard to get a deal you had to give lap dances,
This shit is serious,
Sincere it is,
The people wanted something real,
Well yo here it is,
My rhymes push records back like a belly button dirty rutting,
I got stiff neck steady nothing it aint nothing,
I got the track laid like I'm fucking,
The only balls you got is made outta cotton,
[Chorus x2]
The dusty foot philosopher
Ripping up kilometers
Winking at you officers da dum da dum da dum
The dusty foot philosopher
Sicking up the monitor
Waking up the auditors da dum da dum da dum
[Verse 3]
This is what you waited for,
Glad you stayed the chorus,
Cause a lot of rappers is getting treated like lady whores,
And I don't like Babylon,
I don't like your song,
I don't like hearing that fake accent from Dylon,
The industry commentator,
Fuck it I'm a hater,
My mind is like your life straight up cause it's made up,
I'm strolling like babies with big gas ladies (yeah),
That rock more fellahs than ten thousand daisies,
Harder than harbour and Bin Laden inside the bottom compound with Donald Rumsfield and Bush blood,
Moving along like people who don't want it,
Even if I had jewels I'd be the type who don't run it,
They call me dusty cause my feet have been through a lot,
The wisdom of my survival that's just due to a lot,
So I'm not gonna sit here and whine like crushed grapes,
My mind leaves you speechless like duct tape,
[Chorus x2]
The dusty foot philosopher
Ripping up kilometers
Winking at you officers da dum da dum da dum
The dusty foot philosopher
Sicking up the monitor
Waking up the auditors da dum da dum da dum

Stupid people love this piece of shit. So, eat and enjoy. What a humanitarian he is . Wow, shit floats and others follow
Piece of shit
Well, the reason behind that piece of shit . Is that he doesnt live in shit anymore. So, he forgets about the people that doo. Get it?
Why is Knaan such a piece of shit?
Shitty meets Knaan and they kiss!! What a fucking piece of shit he is.
Go Knaan! You piece of shit!
What a piece of shit.
Go see a doctor, dude.
Oh my god I was 18 when I first listened to this song. Good memories
This is why a pornstar yelled at me. She told me to get off my ass because she thought I was staring when the streetcar didn't stop. FML. 😃
Why underrated
I'm getting some slim shady vibes.

this song is super goofy 😂
my skills so bright when I spit my lips glow: pretty funny lol
I approve
he shoulda left 50 name outta this I ain't like that shit
I'm hearing different lyrics. ?
why does this have a Eminem feel to it, the voice doesn't sound like Em but the style DEFINITELY does! there is absolutely no reason someone should disagree with me UNLESS you've NEVER listened to Emin3m
ohhh shit I'm not thee only that thinks this, shit i just read the comments haha wow
😬😈😈lVyou

If we're being real, this is one of the best hip hop albums of the era
I always thought Eminem sung this lmao
Anybody else thought this was Eminem when they first heard the song?
that's so weird I actually thought it was eminem too hahaha
sounds like old school Eminem at some parts
lol ya I thought it was wen I heard it come on Pandora now I'm here lol glad I found em
A bad day becoming a good day :)
ayyye! dudutdutdadaaahh

Keyzer Soze stfu such a liar
eminem dont say nigga...
in the description :P stupid dude haha
I love this song, Is such a tease xD
Well thats enough internet for the day
love that song
His voice sounds like eminem and little wayne had a bum-fuck session
niqqa shut da hell up ... ur face is fucked up
this song owns all rapstas
the lyrics websites almost never have correct lyrics. someone just posted them, they're not official. they are funny, however.
cause knaan owns lil wayne mate
i've found that alot of these lyrics sites dont have good lyrics, especially not for k'naan
the 1st verse is the most inaccurate, but the rest are alright ;p
im the vinny in these comments..GET THE FUCK OUT!
Ain't even half sick?
@vinnienaarheid How the fuckk can you compare k'naan to lil wayne!
lol i enjoyed reading the lyrics than listening to it lool
@DemonizedSniper It was not out of context, it actually made sense the way he said it.
@DemonizedSniper Watch the end of the video....
Love his lyrics.
how cn u witsle if ur lips r dry
@ACWON2520 poor form by k'naan right there
I saw him last year at a fundrising event in BC... it was a small party of artists, business people and Vancouver's elite... He was somewhat rude to the party while on stage and threatened several times to walk off...said people were disrespecting him.. and that how could a grow of +/-300 disrespect him. He braged about playing slod out football stadiums>> I like him musice and his storyies... but that left a bad taste.
hes hip hop, meaning he is expressing himself, no imitating of Eminem happening here, may have similar voice but two different expressions!
@MrRyderBlack that is what i also thought xD
Hey there must be some mistake does sharing our thoughts and opinions always turn to slagging some other being ?
S!CK!!!!
he sounds a bit like the old eminem
Why does knaan strangly sound like the old eminem or vice versa? oO
lol cheeky song gotta love k'naan
@rechedelphar
He's referring to Dylan from making the band — him and his fake Jamaican accent.
Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan & ......Dylan
@zet168
If someone said that to me in a rap battle, my feelings would be seriously hurt
This Guy is nothing like eminem
K'aan>Eminem
I fucking LOVE the ending, it cracks me up every time :D
I was on a bus on the top deck and just burst out laughing and the blacks at the back went "dat boyz on drugs"
@Bananenflanke92 all stoners have qick computers haha
aww shit! who da real Slim Shady?
@rejeb101 do u mean techno?
@youngbuck189 you're pathetic
1) Hold your breath.
2) Copy all of these steps.
3) Go to two other video.
4) Paste it in the comments.
If you can do all of this without breathing you're a good pot smoker
back home, Kids play cops and robbers, and not with water guns!!!!
From k'naan to rappers- I heard you got alotta guts, your shit is laughable, why you rap at all? why don't you wrap sandwiches to earn a capital!
Stop fucking the hate enjoy the music
This guy sounds like a black eminem
execuseme it's not da dum da dum da
it's tra tra traaaa
the guy who wrote down these lyrics fucked up a lot. lol
@youngbuck189 Who the HELL are you?! 1. Eminem is NOT 'mainstream garbage', you are!, 2. Eminem didn't lose his flow, his rhymes, OR his way!!, 3. Don't f**kin' tell me to listen to Miley Cyrus!!!, 4. You're the little white bitch, BITCH!!!!, 5.I'm not gonna keep listening to your shit about Eminem, 'cause shenahdia 1 is right, why do YOU feel the NEED to diss Eminem to compliment K'Naan?!?!?!?!?!, & 6.Go back to 1st grade...
@Carnationess Eminem is a little white bitch who stopped being good years ago. He lost his flow, his rhymes and his way. Maybe you love mainstream garbage force fed down your throat, but some don't. Just because it's on MTV doesn't make it good reject, go listen to Miley Cyrus.
@youngbuck189 Dude, you REALLY need to go to hell. K'Naan AND Eminem are wayyy up there, like, Michael Jackson up there, but not that music genre. Where the hell are you, anyways? Are you a famous musician, are you a famous artist? I really don't think so, so just stay off the damn computer douche bag...
@shenahdia1
Only in a perfect world. ^-^
bessssssst
i like both
@shenahdia1 honestly people should just enjoy the music and if you don't like dislike and don't comment. It's that simple. Music like this is about enjoyment not debate.
16 people have clean feet
i'm not necessarily disrespectsing eminem, but when you think about it, the hardships Eminem raps about in his songs aren't even close to the shit K'Naan went through.
They are 16 soon 17 idiots in the world!
