Mohamed Adan Dahir, The Lion of Africa
[Intro – Spoken Word, echo effect]
This is for the warriors...
From the streets of Hargeisa to Ouagadougou...
Ibrahim Traoré, The Lion of Faso...
We ride with you...
Somaliland stands... Africa unites.
[Hook – Chorus, aggressive tone]
Rise up, rise up, warriors march,
From the horn to the west, we lightin' the spark.
Heavy is the crown, but the truth is the art,
Traoré leadin', we tearin' 'em apart.
Rise up, rise up, breakin’ the chain,
Burkina Faso roarin’, blood in the rain.
Somaliland behind you, feel the flame,
Africa rise, never the same!

[Verse 1 – Fast Flow, Fire Start]
Yo! Young lion, no silence, speak with fire,
Ibrahim, stand tall, never expire.
Enemies tremble when real ones rise,
No compromise, we cut all ties.
Rebels with a cause, leaders of the storm,
We ain't bowin' down to no uniform.
From the ashes, we craft our form,
Real revolution, no need to conform.
He in the streets with the power of the youth,
Feedin' 'em hope, and speakin' the truth.
Vision like Sankara, roots like a tree,
Unchained the system, now let us be free.
---
[Verse 2 – Deeper Flow, Conscious Rhyme]
Burkina Faso, heart of the flame,
Blood, sweat, tears in the name of the name.
They tried to sell the soul, lock the game,
But Traoré came through, flippin' the frame.
Now the youth got power, pride, and voice,
Not puppets of West, but men of choice.
Black fist raised under African skies,
From Sahara winds to Somaliland cries.
We bleed for the soil, fight for the land,
We die on our feet 'fore we beg with hands.
The Lion of Africa, yeah that’s the plan,
Mohamed and Ibrahim — solid like sand.

[Verse 3 – Global Message]
Tell Macron, we don’t play your chess,
Tell the West, Africa won't suppress.
Tell the UN, respect our quest,
We reclaimin’ gold, soul, and the rest.
Hargeisa echoes, “Down with the chains!”
Mogadishu dreams in revolutionary flames.
Kampala sings, Kinshasa roars,
Traoré’s vibe knockin’ global doors.
Kids in the ghetto, stand with pride,
The system lied, but truth won’t hide.
He ain’t just a leader — he’s the guide,
Takin’ us through that empire slide.
---
[Hook – Chorus Repeat]
Rise up, rise up, warriors march,
From the horn to the west, we lightin' the spark.
Heavy is the crown, but the truth is the art,
Traoré leadin', we tearin' 'em apart.
Rise up, rise up, breakin’ the chain,
Burkina Faso roarin’, blood in the rain.
Somaliland behind you, feel the flame,
Africa rise, never the same!

[Verse 4 – Heavy Bass, War Rhythm]
Boom boom, hear the sound of war,
This ain’t rap, it’s a lion’s roar.
No colonizers knockin’ that door,
You push, we push back with more!
Ibrahim walkin’ with spirits behind,
Ancestors chantin’, fire in the mind.
Africa’s
Mohamed
