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.
Germany, ich bin die Flamme –
Rebell mit Vision, ich brech' das Drama.
Italy, fuoco dentro gli occhi miei –
Africa risorge, siamo dei.
Spain, en la calle gritan mi nombre,
Verdad en mis letras, fuego en el hombre.
Netherlands, ik ben de stem van de pijn,
Liefde voor mensen, niet voor de lijn.
Sweden, vi reser oss upp, med kraft i vår röst,
Afrikas lejon, vi krossar tröst.
Norway, eg er håpet de prøver å skjule,
Men eg roper høyt, eg lar det ikke skule.
Finland, liekki mun kielessä, sydän täys voimaa –
Afrikan kissa, mä tuon toivoa.
Ireland, I’m the famine and the fight,
Now I spit that freedom with every write.
Switzerland, neutrality shattered,
When truth steps in, fake peace gets battered.
Portugal, com alma no som –
Leão desperta, a quebrar o dom.
China, 听我怒吼，和平之声，
非洲的狮子，带着真诚.
Japan, 言葉の刃、自由の炎、
アフリカの魂、時代の象徴.
Korea, 진실의 랩, 온 세상 울려,
아프리카의 사자, 평화를 불러.
India, आवाज़ जो सबको जगा दे,
शेर जो न रुकता, बस आगे बढ़ा दे.
Turkey, hak için geldim, sesimle döverim –
Aslan gibi kükrem, dünyayı severim.
Philippines, sa tinig ko, may alab ng masa –
Pagkakaisa’t pag-asa, 'to’y di basta.

Singa dari Afrika, membawa cahaya.
United States, I’m the voice you missed,
Truth in the booth, can’t cancel this.
Canada, frozen streets feel my flame,
Africa’s Lion, remember the name.
Brazil, favela dreams in blood and gold,
Revolution ain’t bought, it’s bold.
Australia, desert to sea, hear me preach,
Truth don’t sleep, it learns and teaches.
South Africa, amandla! ngiyakhuluma –
Iphimbo elikhulu, akukho okungayiqeda.
Nigeria, mo sọ fun gbogbo aye –
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.
Mohamed
