[Verse 1:]
|
Until the lion learns to speak
|
The tales of hunting will be weak
|
My poetry hales with in the streets
|
My poetry fails to be discrete
|
It travels across the earth and seas
|
From Eritrea to the West Indies
|
It knows no boundaries
|
No cheese
|
It studied in parts of Greece
|
(runtaa hadii kale waxaan lahaa aaheey)
|
I am sick as far as lyrics
|
And with this far as gimmicks
|
I spit par age and limit
|
The shit they talk in rapid
|
I am hip the hop as living
|
I skip the obvious woman
|
Don't get what I am presenting
|
No rims my mind spinning
|
(runtaa hadii kale waxaan lahaa aaheey)
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
I was born and raised in a place
|
Where torn of flame would place
|
Where the foreigners not embrace
|
Where they warn you jog and pace
|
Where loners low what they gaze
|
Where the corners slow at a chase
|
Where they tarts and turn in the maze
|
With the pistol upon your face
|
(runtaa hadii kale waxaan lahaa aaheey)
|
So come with me to my longs
|
The death and deal we run
|
With passion see how I come
|
No cash I am free in the slums
|
The past can we overcome
|
I am asking we be the ones
|
To actually be the ones
|
To free our people from gun
|
(hadii kale waxaan lahaa aaheey)
|
|
[Verse 3:]
|
I was born and raised in a place
|
Where torn of flame would place
|
Where the foreigners not embrace
|
Where they warn you jog and pace
|
Where loners low what they gaze
|
Where the corners slow at a chase
|
Where they tarts and turn in the maze
|
With the pistol upon your face
|
(runtaa hadii kale waxaan lahaa aaheey)
|
So come with me to my longs
|
The death and deal we run
|
With passion see how I come
|
No cash I am free in the slums
|
The past can we overcome
|
I am asking we be the ones
|
To free our people from gun
|
(hadii kale waxaan lahaa aaheey)
|
|
[Verse 4:]
|
Until the lion learns to speak
|
The tales of hunting will be weak
|
My poetry hales with in the streets
|
My poetry fails to be discrete
|
It travels across the earth and seas
|
From Somalia to the West Indies
|
It knows no boundaries
|
No cheese
|
It studied in parts of Greece
|
(Hadii kale waxaan lahaa aheey)
|
Say I am sick as far as lyrics
|
And with this far as gimmicks
|
I spit par age and limit
|
The shit they talk in rapid
|
I am hip the hop as living
|
I skip the obvious woman

No rims my mind spinning
