K’naan - For Mohamoud Soviet lyrics
[K’naan - For Mohamoud Soviet lyrics]
You know my closest friend got killed
And the way I used to see him
He was like the dusty foot philosopher
It means the one that's poor
Lives in poverty but lives
In a dignified manner
And philosophizes about the universe
They talk about - they talk about
Things that well-read people do
And they’ve never read
They've never been on a plane
But they can tell you
What's beyond the clouds
And that’s who the dusty foot philosopher is
And the way I used to see him
He was like the dusty foot philosopher
It means the one that's poor
Lives in poverty but lives
In a dignified manner
And philosophizes about the universe
They talk about - they talk about
Things that well-read people do
And they’ve never read
They've never been on a plane
But they can tell you
What's beyond the clouds
And that’s who the dusty foot philosopher is
