Until the Lion Learns to Speak lyrics

[Intro:]
Yo, this one here goes out to the struggle
In the tradition of the old poets
Yo, the nation of poets
We haven't forgotten that
Yo, In the tradition of Careys Ciise Kaarshe
God bless his soul
I want to say something to you, my friends around the mic

[Verse 1:]
Until the lion learns to speak
The tales of hunting will be weak
My poetry hails within the streets
My poetry fails to be discrete
It travels across the earth and seas
From Eritrea to the West Indies
It knows no boundaries
No cheese
It's studied in parts of Greece
(runtaa hadii kale waxaan lahaa aaheey)
I am sick as far as lyrics
Not with as far as gimmicks
I spit, barrage, and limit
The sh*t they talk and rip it
I'm hip the hop is living
I skip the obvious women
Don't get what I'm presenting
No rims my mind is spinning
(runtaa hadii kale waxaan lahaa aaheey)
[Verse 2:]
I was born and raised in a place
Where tone of flame would blaze
Where the foreigner's not embraced
Where they warn you, jock, and pace
Where loners lower their gaze
Where the corners slow at a chase
Where they twist and turn in the maze
With the pistol upon your face
(runtaa hadii kale waxaan lahaa aaheey)
So come with me to my lungs
The depth and be overrun
With passion, see how I come
No cash, I'm free in the slums
The past, can we overcome?
I am asking we be the ones
To actually be the ones
To free our people from guns
(hadii kale waxaan lahaa aaheey)

[Verse 3:]
Until the lion learns to speak
The tales of hunting will be weak
My poetry hails within the streets
My poetry fails to be discrete
It travels across the earth and seas
From Eritrea to the West Indies
It knows no boundaries
No cheese
It's studied in parts of Greece
(runtaa hadii kale waxaan lahaa aaheey)
I am sick as far as lyrics
Not with as far as gimmicks
I spit, barrage, and limit
The sh*t they talk and rip it
I'm hip the hop is living
I skip the obvious women
Don't get what I'm presenting
No rims my mind is spinning
(runtaa hadii kale waxaan lahaa aaheey)
