Until the lion learns to speak The tales of hunting will be weak
My poetry hails within the streets
My poetry fails to be discreet
It travels across the earth and seas
From Eritrea to the West Indies
It knows no boundaries; no cheese
It's studied in parts of Greece
Hadii kale waxaan lahaa (aaheey)
I'm sick as far as lyrics
Not with as far as gimmicks
I spit barrage and limit
The shit they talk and rip it
I'm hip the hop is living
I skip the obvious women
Don't get what I'm presenting
No rims; my mind is spinning
Hadii kale waxaan lahaa (aaheey)
I was born and raised in a place
Where the tone of flame would blaze
Where the foreign is not embraced
Where they warn you jog and pace
where the loners lower their gaze
Where the corners slow at a chase
Where they twist and turn in a maze
With a pistol upon your face
Hadii kale waxaan lahaa (aaheey)
So come with me to my lungs
The depth can be overrun with passion
See how I come; no cash
I'm free in the slums. The past
Can we over come, I'm asking
Can we be the ones to actually
Be the ones to free our people from guns
Hadii kale waxaan lahaa (aaheey)
I was born and raised in a place
Where the tone of flame would blaze
Where the foreign is not embraced
Where they warn you jog and pace
Where the loners lower their gaze
Where the corners slow at a chase
Where they twist and turn in a maze
With a pistol upon your face
Hadii kale waxaan lahaa (aaheey)
So come with me to my lungs
The depth can be overrun with passion
See how I come; no cash
I'm free in the slums. The past
Can we over come, I'm asking
Can we be the ones to actually
Be the ones to free our people from guns
Hadii kale waxaan lahaa (aaheey)
Until the lion learns to speak
The tales of hunting will be weak
My poetry hails within the streets
My poetry fails to be discreet
It travels across the earth and seas
From Somalia to the West Indies
It knows no boundaries; no cheese
It's studied in parts of Greece
Hadii kale waxaan lahaa (aaheey)
I'm sick as far as lyrics
Now with as far as gimmicks
I spit barrage and limit
The shit they talk and rip it
I'm hip the hop is living
I skip the obvious women
Don't get what I'm presenting
No rims; my mind is spinning
Hadii kale waxaan lahaa (aaheey)
