Somali Pirate

we are torn by war and degrading poverty
so we pick the fruit from the white man’s tree

his ships are our spoil, packed with black oil,
furs and gold bars for our toil

with my brothers ten men strong, we sing
the Somali pirates’ song

“Oom jigga sam sam, oom jigga may,
with my AK  make you pay!

not for glory not for spite, I’ll fight your
crew with all my might

so when you holla..pirates a port! 
I drop your dollar from million to nought

Ooom jigga sam sam, oom jigga may, with 
my AK  make you pay!

Very true, the romanticism of pirating is so over played.
