Verse 1
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

Chorus
Dadkii waa dhibtee nagala soobax
Dhibkii waa batee nagla soobax
Dhiigi waad qubtee nagala soobax
Dhulkii waad gubtee nagala soobax
Nagala soobax (2x)
Dadkii waa dhibtee nagala soobax

Hobaalayow heedhe (ad lib)

How come they only fix the bridge
After somebody has fallen
Hobaalayow heedhe (2x)
How come they only fix the bridge
After somebody has fallen
Hobaalayow heedhe (2x)
How come you turned the deafest ear
When it is your own brother calling
Hobaalayow heedhe (2x)
How come you turned the deafest ear
When it is your own brother calling
Hobaalayow heedhe (2x)
How can you teach your kids to love
When it is killing they are memorizing
Hobaalayow heedhe (2x)
How can you teach your kids to love
When it is killing they are memorizing
Hobaalayow heedhe (2x)

K'Naan talking
Verse
Until the lion learns to speak
The tales of hunting will be weak
My poetry hails within 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 trees
It's studied in parts of the Greece

Runtaa
Hadii kale waxaan lahaa
Hahee

I am sick as far as lyrics
I with it as far as gimmicks
I spit barraging limit
The shit they talking, rip it
I am hip, the hop is living

Verse 1
My tragedy’s different
My life’s deep, listen,
Gotta bail, I’m limping
Walked outta hell’s kitchen
Why bother cherishing
My past is everything, wrong, and my arrogance
Walked down the stairs pissing
Cop us cuz they’re bitching
life isnt fair, singing
Blues and my rap dripping
Ooze out the blood sinking
Deep down to earth thinking
Leave out a nerp chicken
I should run, forfeit, and everything I know
Listen

I was
The misdirected
I was
The least expected
Hop on

Intro
Yeah, yeah, it's me, struggling

Verse 1
I start out, just to vibe out
I ain't about to bow out
I'm more gangsta than you are but I ain't about the rau rau
My season will come, it has to
Honestly I feel like I'm ten months pregnant or something
I am past due
Sincerely I'm touchy these days I can't take nothing
I'm tryna treat my record like the law shit
I'm dying to break something
And mostly, I'm up and stressing, when other folks sleep
Believe me, I know struggle, and struggle knows me
My life owes me, like an overdose I'm slowly
Drifti

Chorus
I was stabbed by Satan on the day that i was born
I was promised loving, but instead I was torn,
La la la, la la la, my heart bled fear
La la la, la la la, my eyes shed tears

Verse 1
A poor black ghetto child
He can’t shoot and he can't go run them out
There’s no school and the kids go runnin wild
The police and the court wanna run them out
He’s so cold, and the po po hate em all
He ain't seen his daddy since back in ‘84
But oh well so it be, now he's in jail
His mothers stressin just to get him out

Verse 1
When you here in the water and you feel like its order
Releasing your tension the stress and disorder Is big in America
Stephanie, Erica, both of them suffer from livin in hari cuz
Livin is very competitive
Hassling creditors, hazardous accidents
Driving with negligence
Too many beverages, people got to many things on they letters
Says Tv's deadliest, professing the ugliest
War, war, war, war
What the hell you keep on killing me for
Please won't you come and bend down low
Let me tell you what little I know
And if its worth something
Spread it indeed like

Eh yo, welcome to my world, please listen
Hey!

Chorus
Poison in my veins, inside I'm torturing my brains
And still I try, ai ai ai
Voices in my head, am I alive or am I dead
Alone I cry, ai ai ai

Verse 1
Consider, configure the shit that I'm in
And the pain, I'm literally going insane
I'm frightened, my heart and my head and I've been fighting
I'm certain, it's hurting the rest of my body
Them voices are loud as Manhattan come from chatting
They say, Anderson let us
And they know you better than all these
Replicates screaming they represent

Verse 1
It's like writing to the dead
Dear people, i dont know if youll hear my last plea
But somebody needs to be concerned about me
It's like im standing on the edge of a high tower by kanie
Y'all are rootin me to jump, nobody stopping me
It's like a drug filled rock n roll documentary
Just wait till the world knows what's inside of me
Cuz you'll be sorry when im gone
and I'll be gone so very soon
f the pressure on my diaphragm keeps resisting
If the feds keep my brothers stomping up and down prisons
If you cant understand my offerings and deep mission
No label

Verse 1
So good things come to those who wait
Sure
I've waited about - pop, pop, pop, pop
That's four cousins shot!
I got grudges, let's discuss this
My music needs no touch ups
I got a long record of fuck ups, trust me
You don't know a past as weird as mine
Or a life as hard as mine
I had to hustle, chop, sell drugs, grind
Whatever you want to call it is fine, but just listen
And don't prejudge
I don't want anyone dissmissing me as another thug or some shit like that
No sir, if I fall I will get right back
I got circumstances, but let me stop dancing around the
