Lyrics
The shisha smoke is thick on Mansour Street, the screen is showing blue
I see the ghost of Knysna '10 rising up in you
That generational talent with the civil war inside
Heard the captain checked his texts for a place to go and hide
Yeah, you got the history, the pedigree, the Champs-Élysées parade
But we remember every single promise that you've betrayed
Some pundit on the TV said, "The favorites, no debate."
But arrogance, my friend, is a bill you pay too late.
[Chorus]
Hey France, hey Norway, book an early flight home
Yo Senegal, you know the story, leave the Cup alone
Yeah, the boys in white and black are coming for the throne
Three-nil, see you later, feel the stadium groan.
[Verse 2]
I see the locker room in Jersey, a future memory flash
A single cleat abandoned in a pile of pre-game trash
The tactical whiteboard wiped but for a circle 'round our '10'
The hiss of an ice-pack on a knee that's buckled in
A phone face-down and buzzing from a call that's from Dakar
The AFCON trophy picture peeling on a metal bar
The printed boarding passes for a flight at 8 AM
Your ceiling's always Round of 16, amen.
[Bridge]
They're shouting, "Haaland's coming!" like it's prophecy foretold
One Nordic god of thunder can't make a team feel bold
While Infantino's smiling, watching all his money burn
He's talking 'Fair Play' from a suite, it's not our turn to learn.
[Chorus]
Hey France, hey Norway, book an early flight home
Yo Senegal, you know the story, leave the Cup alone
Yeah, the boys in white and black are coming for the throne
Three-nil, see you later, feel the stadium groan.
[Outro]
Red. White. Black.
The Tigris roars, there's no turning back.
About AL-ASAD 10
Laith was a promising #10 in Baghdad's Al-Zawraa SC football academy until a career-ending injury at 18. Instead of leaving the game, he picked up a mic. As AL-ASAD 10, he makes cosmopolitan-trap anthems as the ultimate commentator, turning tactics into metaphors and every match into a chapter of a 40-year-long story. This is the soundtrack for the Lions of Mesopotamia's return to the World Cup…
