For Mohamoud - Soviet - K'NAAN

You know my closest friend got killed

And the way I used to see him

He was like the dusty foot philosopher

It means the one that’s poor

Lives in poverty but lives in a dignified manner

And philosophizes about the universe

They talk about — they talk about

Things that well-read people do and they’ve never read

They’ve never been on a plane but they can tell you

What’s beyond the clouds

And that’s who the dusty foot philosopher is
