Lyrics
Toso, toso isku tii sade, hadba kiina taak darane, taageera wiligiine. Waking up, I can smell the shah brewing, so you know I'm heading straight to the kitchen. I know hell, and don't forget the kharf, for the taste on my tongue, it reminds me of the hal. The best feeling I had ever known, ten siblings gathered in a single home, ain't nobody hold it down like hoyo. You never made it seem like it was difficult, always had a smile on your face. The trails of your tears, you ain't never left a trace. Those bitter situations you didn't want us to taste, so growing up was sweet like the sun in Somalia. Lately I've been restless missing ya, but I can't even go back home. Abba getting on me, rocking at my waist, means walk up in the streets is what I miss the most. We gotta come together like baris the most, why we gotta fight, cause really we just one tribe. Now let's just unite like our families at dinner time, let's cherish all our elders and listen to their stories. Take care of all our youngins and show them that we all want Somalia, where we come from. Somalia, where we come from. Somalia, where we come from. Somalia, where we come from. I'm a Somali, and I'm still alive. I've been through a lot, but I'm still alive. I'm still alive, I'm still alive. I'm still alive, I'm still alive. I'm still alive, I'm still alive. I'm still alive, I'm still alive. I'm a Somali, and I'm still alive. I've been through a lot, but I'm still alive. I'm still alive, I'm still alive. I'm still alive, I'm still alive. I'm still alive, I'm still alive. I'm still alive, I'm still alive. Somalia, where we come from. Somalia, where we come from. Somalia, where we come from. I'm still alive, I'm still alive. I've been through a lot, but I'm still alive. I'm still alive, I'm still alive.
