Yeah, but hes only done it once and his Somali rap is nice, especially America. Only one other song where he raps/sings in Somali but his just featured. Some Damian Marley and Nas track about Africa.

Haven't listened to it yet, but I'm disappointed with the cover. Yes, half of our people are nomads, but that is the view the world already has of Somalia/Somalis. I would have preferred something urban like:

 

An alleyway of old Hamarweyne

Kulmiye   

could have worked with AAR MAANTA for few songs and that would give a minimum to appeal to his Somali fan base. nothing new here!

Enjoy the seed Sxb :D

 

It's not a memory core that I am here today

Life has been been so cold

But I'm not typical

I mean a long long time

I go I should have died

But see my blood's on fire

I can't help but survive

 

I never ran away

I done being afraid

Put it on my name

No matter what the stakes

Look it in the face of danger

'Cause sun has never been a stranger

 

I was the seed planted by lovers

In a refugee camping over seas

I grew free I grew more roots

And became a tree

So now they never gonna cut me down

Oh no, they never gonna cut me down

Oh no, they never gonna cut me down

Oh no, they never gonna ,never gonna

 

My skin is black and green

Nothing you haven't seen

You know my history I stand for victory

They turn their backs to me

They taking x to me

I got my wait up now

Nothing can knock me down

 

I never ran away

I done being afraid

Put it on my name

No matter what the stakes

Look it in the face of danger

'Cause sun has never been a stranger

 

I was the seed planted by lovers

In a refugee camping over seas

I grew free I grew more roots

And became a tree

So now they never gonna cut me down

Oh no, they never gonna cut me down

Oh no, they never gonna cut me down

Oh no, they never gonna ,never gonna

 

Oh a oh e I know how

Oh a oh e I survive now

(Oh a oh e I know how

Oh a oh e I survive now)

Oh a oh e I know how

Oh a oh e I survive now

(Oh a oh e I know how

Oh a oh e I survive now)

 

I was the seed planted by lovers

In a refugee camping over seas

I grew free I grew more roots

And became a tree

So now they never gonna cut me down

Oh no, they never gonna cut me down

Oh no, they never gonna cut me down

Oh no, they never gonna ,never gonna

I don wanna judge him wrong but please someone explain what he means these lines

 

I never thought I'd see the hair in my nose gray

But life goes on how ironic

If I could do it over I'd probably smoke chronic

But still follow the footsteps of prophet Mohammed

I probably turn every lie that I told honest

I be an equal terrorist I give the middle finger to my therapist

And flush my sedatest

I'll have a baby with a feminist and name him sexist

Life's a contradiction on my check list????

 

in his song, gold in tumbuktu
