K'naan - Kicked Pushed
Kicked Pushed: Some of you may have heard or read about what happened in Sweden's
Gothenburg. Where after the performance a bouncer wouldn't allow me to
go backstage to collect my things, though I had my pass in hand. The
story is deep, and Sol Guy (my friend and manager) ended up going to
jail for the night in Sweden. And me and the band spent the night at the
station waitin for him. While it was us who were disrespected and
actually physically assaulted, it was also us who were betrayed,
processed and reminded of the diseases in the human heart. Fortunately,
we were traveling with a camera and so we have some of those people and
some of the situation on camera.
Those of you who know my music know that I've never really written for
leisure. And that my experiences have always been at the forefront of my
music. And you must agree, rarely is life uneventful. But this one
called for special presentation. So I wrote a song, using Lupe Fiasco's
Kick Push instrumental. Documenting the experience we had in Sweden, I
call this song... KickED PushED. We also put together a video for the
song, using the ACTUAL footage from the scenario. Nothing is re created,
or re enacted, everything that you see is REAL.
Enjoy it (it's hard to say that about this one)
Peace,
K'naan.
