|
| Then they laugh at you
|
| Then they fight you
|
| Then you win»
|
| I heard 'em say the revolution won’t be televised
|
| Al-Jazeera proved 'em wrong, Twitter has him paralyzed
|
| 80 million strong and ain’t no longer gonna be terrorized
|
| Organized, mobilized, vocalized
|
| On the side of Truth
|
| Umm ad-Dunya's living proof that it’s a matter of time
|
| Before the chickens home to roost
|
| Bouazizi lit the…
|
| And it slowly ignited the fire within Arab people to fight it
|
| From Tunis to Khan Younis, the new moon shines bright
|
| As The Man’s spoon was, as masses demand rights
|
| And dispel rumors of disunity, communally removing the tumors
|
| Of rotten 7ukoomas
|
| We’re making headway, chanting down the dictators
|
| Getting rid of deadweight
|
| Opening the floodgates like the streets of Jeddah
|
| Bawwabit il-thawra maftoo7a oo ma ba2an sid’ha
|
| We’ve been empowered to speak
|
| And though the future is uncertain
|
| Man, at least it isn’t bleak
|
| When our children can be raised
|
| Not in a cage — but on a peak
|
| The inheritors of mother earth are meek
|
| Freedom isn’t given by oppressors
|
| It’s demanded by oppressed
|
| Freedom lovers, freedom fighters
|
| Free to gather and protest
|
| For their God-given rights
|
| For the freedom of the press
|
| We know freedom is the answer
|
| The only question is…
|
| Who’s next?
|
| It’s very bad for my government!
|
| I haven’t any food, I haven’t any game!
|
| My and my children… I will die today!
|
| Time to push, and we ain’t falling back now
|
| Time to fight, because we are all we have now
|
| Do you hear?
|
| Calling out for back up
|
| Try to keep a look out for better days
|
| I’m weathering the storm, pleasure to be born
|
| News media disseminated a Heaven’s Gate’s level of alarm
|
| 3rd person dictators couldn’t sever them till dawn
|
| 3 mil in the street! |
| We will live in Peace! |
| (you will see it)
|
| But, first, God, rest the soul of those who choose
|
| To be free, from poverty they rose
|
| Knee deep in robbery, souls will plummet and burn like Mohamed Bouazizi (all I
|
| see is)
|
| Al-Jazeera logos
|
| Pillar of the State now hears this old soul
|
| Karma waits for no man, your presidential charm and armor break
|
| Out of place in your own homeland
|
| Now dip like mezze
|
| Imagine a million human march to Gaza
|
| From Qahira to Baghdad, siyasatkom saa7ira…
|
| 3alamat Al-akhira…
|
| And that’s where the beef ends
|
| You should learn a lesson from oppression where it begins
|
| Black, White, Yellow, it don’t matter what race
|
| Before you break us you can push us off the deep end
|
| Different country, same struggle: we even!
|
| Contemplate on squeezing when our kids ain’t eating
|
| Only other difference is it’s hot all year round there
|
| Winter time and your kids ain’t freezing
|
| But we all starving, all grieving
|
| And the people with the power ain’t got heart enough to feed us
|
| Follow the procedures, and I study my Quran
|
| This is modern day signs, we just waiting on Jesus
|
| You should be the teacher of Quran to your kids
|
| Instead of wasting time watching Kelly Ripa and Regis
|
| This is Egypt, home of the ruins
|
| Last time we needed change it took Musa to move 'em
|
| Operation «Get Rid of the Pharaoh»
|
| Now we getting rid who ain’t willing to share no
|
| Bread with the people. |
| We are all equal
|
| True men of God, Fear God, don’t fear no
|
| Person that’s walking on the face of the Earth
|
| If he got a tank, knife, gun, bow or an arrow
|
| Long as there’s breath then there’s still hope left
|
| So let hope rise like the eye of a sparrow
|
| Won’t be just niggas, won’t be just spics
|
| A-rabs, Pakis, rednecks, and hicks
|
| The leaders ain’t helping them feeding their kids
|
| The leaders helping pigs eating their kids
|
| Got me back on my Elijah, eating to live
|
| Run up in the White House with keyes to the crib
|
| The House and the Senate
|
| Ousted in a minute
|
| Takes these streets to Wall Street
|
| This one’s for Kemet
|
| They on that Gandhi, They on that Che, though
|
| But that Che turn that Cairo fuego
|
| Hard for the press to find a scapegoat
|
| When every man, woman, and child’s at the table
|
| They think they John Adams, they think they Ben Franklin
|
| They want democracy, What them Arabs thinking?
|
| World leaders now can see when keep people from eating
|
| The people will eat them |
