K'NAAN — Fire In Freetown lyrics

Lyrics

There’s no way to write it, there’s no way to fight it And I kick and scream but you got me despite it And I got my pride so I begin to hide it Like fire in freetown you begin to light it Aha, aha, sidii hogasha roobka
Aha, aha, you shine down upon me Aha, aha, sidii hogasha roobka
Aha, aha, you shine down upon me By some higher order you keep getting bolder
By God or by country you kill like a soldier
By some widdle you sung little but scream mighty stronger
Like fire in freetown you old magic spoiler
Aha, aha, sidii hogasha roobka
Aha, aha, you shine down upon me Aha, aha, sidii hogasha roobka
Aha, aha, you shine down upon me You place pins in my ribs and ask me to lie down
My pain is your pleasure but pleasure is all mine
You lend me your false ear, I lend you my false lines
Like fire in freetown I’m fueled by your gold mine
Aha, aha, sidii hogasha roobka
Aha, aha, you shine down upon me Aha, aha, sidii hogasha roobka
Aha, aha, you shine down upon me Aha, aha, sidii hogasha roobka
Aha, aha, you shine down upon me Aha, aha, sidii hogasha roobka
Aha, aha, you shine down upon me There’s no way to write it, there’s no way to fight it And I kick and scream but you got me despite it And I got my pride so I begin to fight it Like fire in freetown you begin to light it Fire, fire, fire, fire
She pulled out her match and she burned down my home
Fire, fire
She always come find me, she know where I roam
Fire, fire
She know where to touch me to turn me to stone
Fire, fire
She come like a storm and she rained on my lawn
Fire, fire
She know where to touch me to turn me to stone
Fire, fire
She always come find me, she know where I roam
Fire, fire
She pulled out her match and she burned down my home
