K'Naan - Voices In My Head Lyrics
Eh yo, welcome to my world, please listen
HEY!
[Chorus:]
Poison in my veins, inside I'm torturing my brains,
Voices in my head, am I alive or am I dead,
Alone I cry, aiaiaiai
[Verse 1:]
The shit that I'm in and the pain, I'm literally going insane
I'm frightened, my heart and my head have been fightin
I'm certain that it's hurtin the rest of my body
Them voices as loud as manhattan come chattin,
They say? and you kno you better than al of these replicates screamin they represent
C'mon man c'mon man
And it's evil, cause I'm only 20 something working for a crumbs n some bread
[Chorus]
[Verse 2:]
The harder the struggle the deeper the trouble,
Come out of the bubble, I'll teach you to cuddle,
With demons inside me, what demon is not me,
These demons inside me they got me, they stop me from feedin,
And eatin and keepin it even, and even my reason for breathin this season,
Sleetin in a danger, my nose when I'm readin, it's bleedin on paper,
It's bleedin on paper,
And I'm tired of this violence, so tortured inside?, akward and overly open inside, have I already died,
Has mom already cried? And why do I feel like I'm over this life,
I'm not hateful, I'm grateful, my girlfriend is tasteful, livin it up,
I might even blow, like a leak in a truck, with a torch and a clutch,
And explosion that leaves a whole? of dust, and the people,
Inside me saying, they wanna see me go tragically,
And it's evil, cause I'm only twenty something, working for some crumbs and some bread
[Chorus]
[Verse 2:]
I'm still awake, and it's quarter to six,
I'm trying to write and I ain't thought of no shhh,
I live with guilt like I slaughtered the sick,
I live with shame, like my daughter a bitch,
I don't make living but I still persist, I could sell out but I still resist,
So don't tell me about no pain and shit,
I was born and raised in poverty bitch,
And I smile all the while and don't complain,
I'm something like gail scott heroine,
Do you know what it feels like to lose a friend, again and again and again, again
The bitterness in the killer the poet, the river of blood within the mess flowin,
I'm the bitterness in the killer the poet, the river, the blood will keep on flowin,
People inside me say, the wanna see me go on tragically,
And it's evil, it's evil, cause I'm only twenty something years old working for a crumb or some bread or nothin
[Chorus: until end]

K'Naan Voices In My Head Comments
Pretty sure this song keeps me alive. Wish I could repay the favor.
Dude somali people have serious mental health issues. A culture of people that survived 2 civil wars. This song reminds me of my family.
OMG |same|
Dude he s totally not faking he s truly crying do you hear those emotions in the tone of his voice 😥
This song ❤
I was not and raised in poverty bitch!
I miss this K'naan
he's still the same person
your trash
MINDBLOWING
AND THE PEOPLE INSIDE ME SAY THEY WANNA SEE ME GOIN TRAGICALLY
I know, I mean his accent is heavy. No it isn't racist, I didn't say Africans suck, I said I didn't like his album because it was hard to understand.
Wow, no anger here. I agree, I was simply saying that his accent is heavy and hard to understand, but despite the language barrier this song connected to me because of the emotion he was conveying.
African = real. Great logic.
No it's "real" because it's a well written piece by a good artist. Get your shit straight.
I just came back to this video and saw a lot of flaming, so let me respond. First and foremost, you fucking idiots need to stop being so close minded and read. I said it was GOOD. Second, I meant his accent was too heavy for my tastes, not that I dislike Africans. I enjoy this song because of the lyrics and emotion behind it. Finally, I did not say it was bad, I did not slam it, I did not tell you not to listen to it, and yet people are mad.
So grow up and think, or just listen to the music. .
Again, I have nothing against Somalians. It is good, and I do like it. I am saying he had a heavy accent at this time and was hard to understand, so I didn't like it as much BUT I like this song BECAUSE of the emotion. Oh. and you don't know what music I like, so that's pretty narrow minded statement for you to make.
Easy gentle soul. I mean his accent is too heavy for my tastes, I don't dislike Africans, I have nothing against them. However as someone who isn't African, I'm simply not accustomed to the accent.
But no, I don't think Africa will fuck me or my mother. Thanks for the intelligent response though.
Everything I been through
Enough to break you
My life from the start, always been a creep struggle
that mean it's always been deep trouble
I'ma troubled man like tip
on a real tip
To reverse hands of the clock I give my left eye
And with the right visualise me startin' life high
Never havin' to feel this sad and blue, from rock bottom huh
For inner power, I reached out from Brazil to America to the girl on fire
She told me to spit my pain and soul through the wire
So I did, now tell me what I gotta do next to pay all my debts and fee's
Sittin' thinkin' I need a superwoman a dark skinned Alicia keys
Cause I head 'em say the darker the berry, the sweeter the halle juice
need somebody to console me, when startin' goin' loose
I mean it's not enough there stole my soul from me
Sqizzed the metal on me
now there put the
Livin' like this, only gonna lead me to being another kurt cobaine
the pain, stress and drama, I'm literally going bizzerk, going insane
I don't think you understand, i mean how could ya?
Chorus
The venom inside my veins
Going through growing pains
Voices in my head
Tell me everybody be better of if I were dead
Because all I am is cancerous in people's life's
Yo Benvinda a my conto
Please listen (Escute)
[Verse]
It's not easy like dube said
the monsters in my head
Torture me, persuade what there say could be true that I ain't nothin'
My whole life always felt like I been runnin'
Faster than America, ran from Vietnam
Holdin' mo' secrets than the pentagon
totally, the route he's on now is an utter dissapointment. His songs lack passion and intensity, he's a completely different artist, dusty foot philosopher was a classic
" I could sell out but I still resist " too bad he forgot about that .
the emotion in this song gives me shivers. So good
I know it is a shame.
i dont really like knaans first album because he sounds too african
and please no passionate music lovers: *ouuu i hate you mang you so blind*
yeah i know fuck you
my point is i dont like it and this song is insane
so much emotion
not bad knaan, not bad
