SPLIT’s KEDA Arabic Lyrics English Translation
The songwriter writes about holding back his ego with chains and staying true to his original crew. He notes a key line, ‘I’ve never locked away the things in my heart, because my intentions are never dark’. This poet crafts an image of a man focused on his craft, watching from a distance.
I’m like keda I’m like kedaI’m like this, I’m like this.
J’ai le flow inspiré de l’aikidoI’ve got a flow inspired by Aikido.
Alift w jamais nfout li kanI’ve grown accustomed, and I’ll never leave the ones who were,
Maaya mn louwel machi b mic b jouj ligatwith me from the start, not with a mic but with two gloves.
I’m like keda I’m like kedaI’m like this, I’m like this,
B snasel chaddin l’egoholding back my ego with chains.
