K'NAAN


Basically, I got beef, I wanna talk to you directly, I 
Can't ignore, I can't escape, and that's cause, you 
Affect me, you cripple me, you shackle me, you shatter 
My whole future in front of me, this energy, is killing 
Me, I gotta let it pour like blood, Soobax: 

Dadkii waa dhibtee nagala soobax 
Dhibkii waa batee nagla soobax 
Dhiigi waad qubtee nagala soobax 
Dhulkii waad gubtee nagala soobax 

So for real, who's to blame, we loose lives over 
Qabiil's name, disregard, for the soul, we just don't 
Give a f**k no more, left alone, all alone, settle 
Your issues on your own, what to do, where to go, I 
Got to be a refugee damn, soobax: 

Dadkii waa dhibtee nagala soobax 
Dhibkii waa batee nagla soobax 
Dhiigi waad qubtee nagala soobax 
Dhulkii waad gubtee nagala soobax 

Mogadishu, use to be, a place where the world would 
Come to see, Jaziira, sugunto liida, wardhiigleey iyo 
Madiina, Hargeysa, Boosaaso, Baardheere iyo Berbera, 
My skin needs to feel the sand the sun, I'm tired of 
The cold God damn soobax 

Dadkii waa dhibtee nagala soobax 
Dhibkii waa batee nagla soobax 
Dhiigi waad qubtee nagala soobax 
Dhulkii waad gubtee nagala soobax 

I guess I could use the last bar to flow, I'm known as 
A lyrical rhyme domino, I'm cynical, well, oh now you 
Know, put a whole in an emcee like cheerio, they don't 
Hear me though, I work for the struggle I don't work 
For dough, I mean what I say, I don't do it for show, 
Somalia needs all gunmen right out the door.
