America (Album Version|Edited) - K'naan/Mos Def/Chali 2na

Lyrics by：K'NAAN

Composed by：K'NAAN

Uh huh uh huh uh huh

Uh huh uh huh uh huh

Say yeah

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 hoéy 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 mish

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 you're 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 let's cook it up we don't 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

D**e smoke and SUV's red meat and army greens

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 wind

Outta my face on your knees

Sleep in the mansion shut out the streets

Make that cake whoop that trick

Lick my swagger suck my sick

Get high get low get stcky 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

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 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 'cuz I kick it with the poor

I laugh in the face of adversity

Sound clashed with the bass 'cuz it's natural to me

But if you pay attention to the past you will see

Not long ago you black they'd hang your a*s from a tree

My certain things change while some stay the same

Some are recluse others are lovers of the game

I'm trying to walk the lane

The Sirat al-Mustaqim

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 s**t was cool in english

But let me get that Somali verse

Gabar yaroo subhaano maro shabeelo hirato

Maro qafiifa huwato maga'aaga ii sheeg

Magaeygu waa sharaf sharaf haaji weeyan

Aqalada hariirta dhina baan ka jooga

Alla ya u sheega tinta u shanleeya

Nahoy zamzamey sabaah nuurey

Adoo kin kin iyo kaluun badaneey

Adoo hajka jira xasuus badaneey

Sahiibtaa asho ashaq baa dilay

Ugu dambeyntiina

Aniyo geeluba

Wa u banaanbahnay
