[K'naan]Picture the morning taste and devourWe rise early pace up the hourStreets is bustlin' hustlin' their heart outYou can't have the sweet with no sourSpices, herbs, the sweet scent of flowerShe came out precisely the hourClouds disappear, the sun shows the powerNo chance of a probable showerI fell in love with my neighbors' daughterI wanted to protect and support herNever mind I'm just 12 and a quarterI had dreams beyond our border(Chorus)Is it true when they say all you need is just love? (Is it true?)What about those who have loved?Only to find that it's taken awayAnd why do they say that the children have rights to be free? (To be free)What about those who I've knownWhose memory still lives inside of me(Chorus II)Fatima, what did the young man say, before he stole you away?On that fateful day FatimaFatima, did he know your name or the plans we made?To go to New York City, Fatima[K'naan]And after school we studied the lessonsI ask God to slow down the secondsHe does the opposite that's what I'm guessin'I better chill and count my own blessingsFatima, Fatima what is the matter?How come you ain't come up the ladder?So we can be like there's no tomorrowDamn you gon' make me wait until tomorrowShe spoke Arabic and SwahiliShe'd say "Upendo anta habibi"You so bright, you shine like my TVThen one day she never came to meet me(Chorus)(Chorus II) 2x[K'naan]If beauty was in the eyes of beholderhow come everyone hushed when she walked byHow come girls would look just to scold herHow come the angel wanted to hold her?Fatima, Fatima I'm in AmericaI make rhymes and I make 'em delicateYou would have liked the parks in ConnecticutYou would have said I'm working too hard againDamn you shooter, Damn you the buildingWhose walls hid the blood she was spillin'Damn you country so good at killin'Damn you feelin' for persevering(Chorus)(Chorus II) 2x(Outro)Now I just want to make it clearI don't want you to shed a tearCuz this here (Fatima) is a celebrationWe're not mourning, we're celebrating(Fatima) YeahSo baby don't cryPlease don't let the tears fall(Fatima) So don't cry
