Mohamed Adan Dahir – The Lion of Africa

[Hardcore Verse – Non-Stop Global Flow]
Yo, from Hargeisa streets to London nights,
I spit revolution under stadium lights.
No peace till we all unite,
From the belly of the beast, I ignite the fight.
United Kingdom, I walk with pride,
With Malcolm’s spirit and Mandela’s stride.
France, liberté, égalité,
I speak for the ghetto where the children pray.

Rebell mit Vision, ich brech' das Drama.

Africa risorge, siamo dei.

Verdad en mis letras, fuego en el hombre.

Liefde voor mensen, niet voor de lijn.

Afrikas lejon, vi krossar tröst.

Men eg roper høyt, eg lar det ikke skule.

Now I spit that freedom with every write.

When truth steps in, fake peace gets battered.

Leão desperta, a quebrar o dom.

非洲的狮子,带着真诚.

아프리카의 사자, 평화를 불러.

शेर जो न रुकता, बस आगे बढ़ा दे.

Truth don’t sleep, it learns and teaches.
South Africa, amandla! ngiyakhuluma –
Iphimbo elikhulu, akukho okungayiqeda.

Afirika ni mo, gbogbo eda ni aye.
Ethiopia, ድምፄ ነው የእውነት መብራት –
አፍሪካ ታነሳለች, ማብራሪያ ሁላችን ነን።
Somali, hadalkaygu waa toosh, hankayguna waa gusheana –
Gobonimo waa halgan, dhiig iyo dhaqan.
Swahili, mimi ni simba, siogopi chochote –
Uhuru ni wangu, ninaimba kwa wote.

[Final Blast – English]
I’m the voice that rips through every wall,
The Lion of Africa, I answer the call.
No chorus, no rest, just fire in my chest,
Till every nation knows, I won't accept less.
I’m the Moses of the mic, I part seas with words,
Rebuild broken dreams with multilingual verbs.
From pain I was born, in truth I stay,
A king with a vision, I lead the way.
