We’ve started a book titled - Qorashee Nolashaada - Plan Your Life by Ali Hussein Aden. This book begins with a power saying: Haddii aad ku fashilanto inaad wax qorsheysato, waxaad qorsheysay inaad fashilanto meaning if you fail to plan, you’ve planned to fail. We will go chapter by chapter and in between we’ll have sections about new words. If you have any questions, suggestions or concerns, feel free to reach out to me at [email protected]

The rapper = Sharmake (aka Sharma Boy) Sharmake in somali means one who does not see evil.

Rap Somali waxaan ka wataa koob—I hold an award in

Somali rap

Kuma korin boob—I wasn't raised through bribery or theft

Nolashayda top—My life is at its peak

Waxa soo da’ay roob—Rain has poured down

Waxaan tagay goob—I arrived at a place

Gabdho wada gob—Filled with remarkable women

Waan ku dhacay wab—I stumbled upon

Waxa kacay dab—A fire ignited

Dareenkaygu waa dhab—My emotions are true

Dhulka wab—Fallen to the ground

Cadawgayga gab—My enemy has fallen

Marhoraan ku riday god—I had already laid them to rest
