Coming To America Lyrics - More Beautiful Than Silence - K'naan

I came out of a killer, neighborhood called River 

Where life expectancy is shorter than a caterpillar 

I was once a gorilla, and this show was my cage 

My trina was the gauge, Ak was my baby sitter 

When we be out and looted, the whole city was shooting 

I know it's fucked up but somehow, this army came shooting 

Niggas heard African rappers and thought about them voodoo 

It's superman, tell the real soldier boy come to shoot you 

Same food and of course what you... nigga 

Fuck what you heard, yeah nigga 

Come walk in the dark no fear nigga 

It's a ... my eyes no tears nigga 

Working malaria, your hood can't even compare here 

Got keys, they really love barriers 

Come ... here, I'm daring you 

I'll shoot your ... ain't afraid like give me a ...lemonade 

You up my school... while playing catch with a hand grenade 

Yeap, that's a true story, this ain't Hollywood glory 

I ain't the prince of the ... my life is too ...

I'm tired of always going through barriers 

I just wanna live a good life 

So I'm coming, coming to America, 

I hope we gonna have a good time 

Baby thanks for letting me marry ya 

... car sure looks fine 

So I'm coming, coming to America, 

I hope we gonna have a good time 

Now my second home city, what can I say 

It took my fucking heart from me 

I played the judge part and i... 

Oh yeah, that mean it never got no bars for me 

See that ... to the motherfucker... be 

Fuck puck but it ain't no hockey 

When the cops came, they knocked me 

I had to flee, they said to bargain, I had to pee 

So I crossed the border while they put a warrant out for me
