So this is a music video for M.I.A's Born Free song (Thank you dailymotion.com). This video has been banned on Youtube as well as other websites for its violence and content matter. It is a truly amazing video on the atrocities of genocide. I love how they used American soldiers as the perpetrators and the ginger haired as the inferior race. Although genocide is bad, it hasn't been around me when growing up so I didn't really pay much attention. This video has really helped me realize how serious genocide is and I want to help.

Fuck Positivity
So like everyone else around the world, except maybe America, I have been watching the World Cup. It became an obsession that has robbed me of my sleep and eat. Yes, eat. I can use words however I please.
Anyway, I got the Listen Up! WOrld Cup official soundtrack and I am addicted to all the songs. They all sound glorious and epic. Just like how I want my life to be.
So here's K'naan's Wavin Flag video with Lyrics. I realize that K'naan has another song called Wavin' Flag about a totally different subject, so this is the one that he did specifically for the World Cup:
.: Official song South Africa FIFA 2010. K’naan & David Bisbal – Wavin’ Flag :.
Ooooooh Wooooooh
Give me freedom, give me fire, give me reason, take me higher
See the champions, take the field now, you define us, make us feel proud
In the streets our, heads are liftin , as we lose our inhibition,
Celebration, it surrounds us, every nation, all around us
Singin’ forever young, singin’ songs underneath the sun
Lets rejoice in the beautiful game.
And together at the end of the day.
WE ALL SAY
When I get older I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom
Just like a wavin’ flag
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back (x2)
Oooooooooooooh woooooooooohh hohoho
Give you freedom, give you fire, give you reason, take you higher
See the champions, take the field now, you define us, make us feel proud
In the streets our, heads are liftin, as we lose our inhibition,
Celebration, it surrounds us, every nation, all around us
Singin’ forever young, singin’ songs underneath the sun
Lets rejoice in the beautiful game.
And together at the end of the day.
WE ALL SAY
When I get older, I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom
Just like a wavin’ flag
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back (x4)
Wooooooooo Ohohohoooooooo ! OOOoooooh Wooooooooo
And everybody will be singing it.
And we all will be singing it.
