You Ain't us

I don’t know what to do anymore

Who to run to or who to implore

Somalia is the subject of the moment

People pretending to care from the government

Whatever your intentions maybe

Please leave us to it, we know what can set us free

Dadkeena iska daaya, dulkeena ka baxa

We’re not you and you ain’t us

We see you plotting and advise you reassess

The outcome is clear, is the 23rd for your convenience?

When pushed to the limit, we unite and revive

‘Cause the truth is Somali people were born to survive

It’s taken time I agree and our people should choose peace over war

How does it help when you prefer not to restore

The nation that was once Africa’s gleaming light

A beautiful place with wonders that soothed the sight

Facts like tribe or name will not stand in the way

Too much has happened for us to not seize this day

Are you all with me, prepared and ready to inspire

Let’s take the steps to create the future we all desire
