K'NAAN - Fire in Freetown

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
