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 was born while my parents fleeing from home, lived in IDP’s for some time and had been working as humanitarian aid worker since 2013! Alxmdulilah I’m the Director of a local NGO that helps those in need! I can feel the pain. I’m from Somalia 🇸🇴 🙌
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 :)
@@peterbonessI don’t get it. How can someone like Knaan have haters? This is what they mean when they say you can’t please everyone. Sick people like you are everywhere
Shout-out from the Caribbean Islands..this man is a real artist in my book .found his music when he collab with Nas and Damian Marley in 2009..respect from the Caribbean!
was a Refugee in Dhadaab camps in kenya in 1991-1996, and will always be a refugee thanks you k,naan for bringing awareness to Refugee and Immigration situation all over the world
I'm wondering why the meaningless songs gets so much viewers and reactions while important, meaningful and activist songs get less audience and reactions. K'naan the real artist and humanist.❤
We are all proud of you us somali Canadian who came to to this country us refugee and never forget the road that we took and what we still going through you are our voices god bless you amen
Okay, that made me cry, and thank you for that 'cause we all need to be reminded. So glad to see a song from you. You make a huge difference in this world and this is one old human rights/immigration activist who finds comfort in your songs. Again, THANK YOU.
Love love love K'naan. I regularly listen to his first couple albums and was wondering where he had gotten to. Then I found this. I feel lucky to have run into it.
K'naan is incredibly talented in delivering poetry and he easily catches the audience emotions the way he tells stories. Beautiful poetic words gracefully delivered with a unique delicate voice while proudly sharing powerful refugee experience story. Can't wait to see what is next, been waiting for so long.
HE IS BACK!!! 🔥🔥 BELIEVE ME.. I WAS JUST THINKING THAT U WOULD UPLOAD A VIDEO SOON.. AND I WOULD COMMENT ON IT.. WHAT A COINCIDENCE!! LOVE U SIR U ARE MY INSPIRATION 🙂🥰 "WHEN I GET OLDER I WILL BE STRONGER!" 'Refugee'... SO BEAUTIFUL ❤️..
Wow.... people from different countries showing love for K'naan... here is the ❤ from Ur neighbors Ethiopia
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.
❤❤❤
Your only problem - not all of you respect country you go to and want live to
One of the few truly humanitarian artists out there. K'naan, keep singing.
He Kann haha

Thank you Brother. God knows we've been through it, but he makes us Somalis proud.
Now! He is Grammy winner 🏆
He won a Grammy 😳
As someone who has been a refugee for the biggest chunk of my life , this brings tears and whole lot of emotion
Where are you from, if you don’t mind me asking?
LYRICS:
"Refugee"
If I was gonna be free, I'd have to change my name
Mama don't feel shame, somebody call me refugee
My old name was all wrong, I've waited for so long
To decide my destiny, somebody call me refugee
Somebody call me refugee
I am
I am
And I walked a long way
I am
But I was not at all alone
I am
Whole city gone astray
I am
Every suitcase held a home
Somebody call me refugee
Somebody call me refugee
Somebody call me refugee
And I'll wear it proudly, refugee
I am
I am
I am
There's a weight inside my shoe
I am
Built a nest for those I grieve
I am
And no matter what I do
I am
They will always walk with me
They will always walk with me
Somebody call me refugee
Somebody call me refugee
Somebody call me refugee
And I'll wear it proudly, refugee
I am
I am
Take me
I am
Make me, take me
I am
Make me, take me
I am
Make me, take me
I am
Make me, take me
I am
Somebody call me refugee
Somebody call me refugee
Somebody call me refugee
And I'll wear it proudly, refugee
I am
I am
And I'll wear it proudly, refugee

It feels like a meditation exercise and a hymn and a call to action and a song all in one. Beautiful!
Love from Tigrai (East Africa)
This is melodic, rich, and real. Cannot wait to get the new music. Am very grateful you've decided to share new music with us. Thank you.

After all these years, he's finally back
He's back!!❤❤
The king is back
i love him so much, he's part of my sweet memories 12 years ago
His song was one of the best even till now
I'm wondering why the meaningless songs gets so much viewers and reactions while important, meaningful and activist songs get less audience and reactions.
K'naan the real artist and humanist.❤
Becoz world doesnt want the reality
Because we’re running away from reality
Because many hate refugees.
Be happy You got taste
He always delivers, Kn'aan is a living legend ❤
We are all proud of you us somali Canadian who came to to this country us refugee and never forget the road that we took and what we still going through you are our voices god bless you amen
