K'NAAN - Refugee

[@NewPink14]

As a somali refugee i wear it proudly just like you K'naan my mentor since i was12

[@annaleebillings]

❤❤🎉❤❤

[@davidboaz7653]

As a refugee myself I completely resonate with the first line "If I was gonna be free, I'd have to change my name. Mama don't feel shame," it sparks a lot of emotions especially when you know what refugees go through on a daily basis.

I am a 40 y/o, white, female, suburban from birth, Canadian citizen. Your music has always resonated with me. Something about it cuts deep and transcends ALL of the culture lines. Its universal. Been a fan since Dusty Foot Philosopher and I still play troubador start to finish on the regular. I check in with your socials from time to time to see if you're dropping anything new and somehow this song flew under my radar until i saw you at the Grammy's! Congratulations! Your award is so well deserved and I hope it'll be start of something incredible for your next chapter. It's wild to me how under-recognized you are. Hoping we won't have to wait another decade for something new :)
