Soobax

Brian West / Gerald Eaton

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:

Dadkii waa dhibtee nagala soobax
Dhibkii waa batee nagla soobax
Dhiigi waad qubtee nagala soobax
Dhulkii waad gubtee nagala soobax

So for real, who's to blame, we loose lives over
Qabiil's name, disregard, for the soul, we just don't
Give a f**k no more, left alone, all alone, settle
Your issues on your own, what to do, where to go, I
Got to be a refugee damn, soobax:

Dadkii waa dhibtee nagala soobax
Dhibkii waa batee nagla soobax
Dhiigi waad qubtee nagala soobax
Dhulkii waad gubtee nagala soobax


Mogadishu, use to be, a place where the world would
Come to see, Jaziira, sugunto liida, wardhiigleey iyo
Madiina, Hargeysa, Boosaaso, Baardheere iyo Berbera,
My skin needs to feel the sand the sun, I'm tired of
The cold God damn soobax

Dadkii waa dhibtee nagala soobax
Dhibkii waa batee nagla soobax
Dhiigi waad qubtee nagala soobax
Dhulkii waad gubtee nagala soobax

I guess I could use the last bar to flow, I'm known as
A lyrical rhyme domino, I'm cynical, well, oh now you
Know, put a whole in an emcee like cheerio, they don't
Hear me though, I work for the struggle I don't work
For dough, I mean what I say, I don't do it for show,
Somalia needs all gunmen right out the door.
