Kna'an - T.I.A. lyrics

[Spoken:] I hope you got your pa**ports, and vaccine shots. [Verse 1:] I take rappers on a field trip any day They never been opposite real clip anyway I know where all the looters and the shooters say Welcome to the city we call Doomsday. When n***az is just fried chicken like Tuesday Oh you from the hood huh, who say? My Nigerian n***az would call you p**y My Somali n***az are quick to grab the uzi Around here we only bumping Fela Kuti Tupac, or Bob Marley, Lucky Dube. So we don't really give a f** about your groupies This Is Africa, Hooray. T.I.A. (Hooray) T.I.A. (Hooray) T.I.A. (Hooray) It means, This Is Africa (Hooray) [Hook] You don't know how hard it is here The streets is tricky in these parts here You don't know how hard this is here The streets need this sh** here You don't know how hard it is here The streets is tricky in these parts here You don't know how hard this is here The streets need this sh** here [Verse 2:] I walk rappers through the k**a woods any day They never been opposite real goons anyway I know all the tricky sticky icky alley ways Welcome to the continent of Holidays (Africa) Where Holidays quickly turn to hell days Stars fall quicker than box of shell case No Bill Gates, No [?] Why you cats debating, acting and faking these days I deliver what they need like milk crates I learned from the deadly streets no regrets And I wasn't ever looking for street cred But these streets bred me to be street safe It's no secret we know how to squeeze lead But the Pre-set is not to have to squeeze it Used to be at peace but now we using T-Shirts And it reads RIP cause the peace dead When I walk through the slums like (Nomane?) Little children say K'naan (Bumaye?) The rap game just got itself a new day This is Africa, Hooray. T.I.A. (Hooray) T.I.A. (Hooray) T.I.A. (Hooray) It means, This Is Africa [Hook:] You don't know how hard it is here The streets is tricky in these parts here You don't know how hard this is here The streets need this sh** here You don't know how hard it is here The streets is tricky in these parts here You don't know how hard this is here The streets need this sh** here
