Текст песни: K'naan. ABC's.

Bundle up my whole style is so cold
I glow like old guys who flow bold
My flow got no threat in vocal
Your flow got no button its so old
I don't mean to sound like a showboat
but it's true my pers-ahn is no joke

I'm scripted into some kind of portal
I'm legend and sometimes i go bold
i'm from the ?
no place is shifty global
more pistols rush and revolvers
we shoot at all that is normal
but it ain't just cuz we want to
we ain't got no where we can run to
somebody please press the undo
they only teach us the things that guns do

they don't teach us the abcs
we play on the hard concrete
all we got is life in the streets
all we got is life in the streets (repeat twice)

Chubb Rock (can't understand him)

Chorus

Superman and known by the locals
abskewed and so flies low bold
attitude that came out of struggle
this ain't you but i make it hopeful
you real but my real is tenfold
my real will make yours a rental
gangsta if at ease, essential
fight with guns or utensils

so bold nothing is confidential
break fists is not continental
and lunch could not compliment her
we still become competitors
these streets they fake with no gold
matter fact someone stole the light bulb
nobody fat enough for lypo
they don't teach us to read and write
so

Chorus
