1
And any man who knows a thing knows
2
He knows not a damn, damn thing at all
3
And every time I felt the hurt
4
And I felt the givin' gettin' me up off the wall
5
I'm just gonna take a minute and let it ride
6
I'm just gonna take a minute and let it breeze
7
I'm just gonna take a minute and let it ride
8
I'm just gonna take a minute and let it breeze
9
How did Mandela get the will to surpass the everyday
10
When injustice had him caged and trapped in every way?
11
How did Gandhi ever withstand the hunger strikes and all?
12
Didn't do it to gain power or money if I recall
13
It's to give, I guess, I'll pass it on
14
Mother thinks it'll lift the stress of Babylon
15
Mother knows, my mother she suffered blows
16
I don't know how we survived such violent episodes
17
I was so worried and hurt to see you bleed
18
But as soon as you came out the hospital you gave me sweets
19
Yeah, they try to take you from me
20
But you still only gave 'em some prayers and sympathy
21
Dear mama, you helped me write this
22
By showing me to give is priceless
23
And any man who knows a thing knows
24
He knows not a damn, damn thing at all

27
I'm just gonna take a minute and let it ride
28
I'm just gonna take a minute and let it breeze

I'm just gonna take a minute and let it ride
30
I'm just gonna take a minute and let it breeze
31
All I can say is the worst is over now
32
We can serve the hard times, divorce, it's over now
33
They try to keep us out but they doors is open now
34
My nigga, Akon is gettin' awards and covers now
35
This is K'naan and still reppin' the S
36
Comin' out of Mogadishu and still draped in the mess
37
And no matter how we strong, homie
38
It ain't easy comin' out of where we from, homie
39
And that's the reason why, I could never play for me
40
Tell 'em the truth is what my dead homies told me
41
Ooh yeah, I take inspiration from the most heinous of situations
42
Creating medication out my own tribulations
43
Dear Africa, you helped me write this
44
By showing me to give is priceless
45
And any man who knows a thing knows
46
He knows not a damn, damn thing at all
47
And every time I felt the hurt
48
And I felt the givin' gettin' me up off the wall
49
I'm just gonna take a minute and let it ride
50
I'm just gonna take a minute and let it breeze
51
I'm just gonna take a minute and let it ride
52
I'm just gonna take a minute and let it breeze
53
Nothing is perfect man, that's what the world is
54
All I know is I'm enjoying today
55
You know 'cause it isn't every day that you get to give
56
And any man who knows a thing knows
57
He knows not a damn, damn thing at all
58
And every time I felt the hurt
59
And I felt the givin' gettin' me up off the wall
60
I'm just gonna take a minute and let it ride
61
I'm just gonna take a minute and let it breeze
62
I'm just gonna take a minute and let it ride
63
I'm just gonna take a minute and let it breeze
64
I got nothin' to complain about
65
You know where I'm from
66
You know where I'ma last, so
67
You know I was flyin' high
68
I'm just gonna take a minute and let it ride
69
I'm just gonna take a minute and let it breeze
70
I'm just gonna take a minute and let it ride
71
I'm just gonna take a minute and let it breeze
