K'naan - America
uh huh uh huh uh huh
Oh this takes me home
It makes me think about
sitting outside of my old home
When I was younger
and singing something like
Gabaryaray shuxaano
Maro Shabeel eh xirato
Maro qafiif eh huwato
Magacaaga ii sheeg
Magacayga waa Sharaf
Sharaf
Xaaji weyaan
Aqalada xiriirta
Dhinac baa ka jooga
Ala yaa usheega
Tinta ushaleeya
Naa hoey Zamzamey
Sabaax nuurey
Adoo kilkiley
Iyo
Kaloon badanay
Adoo xajka jira
Xasuus badhanay
Saxiibtaa
Caasho
cashaq baa dhilay
Ugu dhambaystina
Aniga iyo geel uba
Ugu banaan bixin
Waa aniga orodneey
Nabad dheynee
Mareekan waa laga soo waayey
Mareekan waa laga soo waayey
Mareekan waa laga soo waayey
Waa aniga orodneey
Nabad dheynee
Mareekan waa laga soo waayey
Mareekan waa laga soo waayey
Mareekan waa laga soo waayey
There are certain things fresh
And certain things mesh
I got my own sound
I don't sound like the rest
And even my attire and
my choice of dress
And not long ago
I don't spoke English
My point is police pull me over a lot
They wonder
what kind of rap sheet I got
And sometimes
I take a young girl out to eat
And hold the door open
oh your so sweet
Of course my affection's
super illustrated
And I like to give don't reciprocate it
Unless you could give me
someone innovated
Well lets cook it up
we dont refrigerate it
But back to the country
of the educated
Where people get robbed
and they celebrate it
Waa aniga orodneey
Nabad dheynee
Mareekan waa laga soo waayey
Mareekan waa laga soo waayey
Mareekan waa laga soo waayey
Waa aniga orodneey
Nabad dheynee
Mareekan waa laga soo waayey
Mareekan waa laga soo waayey
Mareekan waa laga soo waayey
Maraken
My country tis of thee
Sweet land for robberies
Dos smokin' S-U-V's
Grab me an army green
Fat and frills
Thrills and spills
Eat and sleep
Hump and kill
Shop til you drop
Work til you dead
Get all you can
Then get in the wear
Outta my face
On your knees
Sleep in the mansion
Shut out the streets
Make that cake
Woop that trick
Lick my swagger
Suck my sick
Get high get low get sticky get rich
Get yo own show get down get quick
You slow you blow you broke your fix
Terror dome
home swag home
Terror dome
home swag home
Home swag home
Home swag home
Mareekan waa laga soo waayey
Mareekan waa laga soo waayey
Mareekan waa laga soo waayey
Waa aniga orodneey
Nabad dheynee
Mareekan waa laga soo waayey
Mareekan waa laga soo waayey
Mareekan waa laga soo waayey
There are some things pure
while certain things blur
Dilute it with the lie and
you believe when it occur
Falsified information got
my people in the stir
We have to be in search
of something equal to the cure
Straight out the door
I come to give you more
Lay the law keep it raw
when I speak it from the core
Get underneath your skin
like especially with the claw
Conflicted with the rich cause
I kick it with the poor
I laugh in the face of adversity
Sound clashed with the b***
cause its natural to me
But if you pay attention
to the past you will see
Not long ago you black
they'd hang your *** from a tree
Certain things things change
while some stay the same
Some are recluse
others are lovers of the game
I'm trying to walk the lane
was the cane
Instead of doing things
they keep you covered in the flame
Waa aniga orodneey
Nabad dheynee
Mareekan waa laga soo waayey
Mareekan waa laga soo waayey
Mareekan waa laga soo waayey
Waa aniga orodneey
Nabad dheynee
Mareekan waa laga soo waayey
Mareekan waa laga soo waayey
Mareekan waa laga soo waayey
Nanananana that **** was
cool in English
But let me get that Somali verse
Gabaryaray shuxaano
Maro Shabeel eh xirato
Maro qafiif eh huwato
Magacaaga ii sheeg
Magacayga waa Sharaf
Sharaf
Xaaji weyaan
Aqalada xiriirta
