Soobax - 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

Nagala soobax, nagala soobax

Dadkii waa dhibtee nagala soobax

Dhibkii waa batee nagla soobax

Dhiigi waad qubtee nagala soobax

So for real, who’s to blame

We lose lives over Qabiil’s name

Disregard for the soul

We just don’t give a fuck 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

Mogadishu used 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, goddamn 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
