We Will Rise |
Is it just dream?, Am I a fool for trying? |
I stand defiant but my enemy’s the tallest giant, |
Will visions be reality? |
they tell me never, |
I wanna feel the unity that Malcolm felt in Mecca, |
I wonder if it made sense in his last moments, |
People don’t value the soul cause they can’t hold it, |
Find something real beyond death and misery, |
And understand the present in the context of history, |
It’s been established Sykes-Picot was a bitter marriage, |
Since the day Thomas Edward Lawrence tricked the Arabs, |
I never back stab my people like Abu Mazen, |
I’ll overthrow the monarchs like Abdul Karim Qassem, |
This is a battle that many better men have died fighting, |
But I hope to give an insight through my writing, |
My pen fires at the men who defend liars, |
I send fire till the end of your empire, |
We will fight to live, |
We will not give up, |
We will not give in, |
We will rise, |
And through the blood and tears, |
We will not give up, |
We will not give in, |
We will rise, |
Guess who’s back, descendant of the occupied, |
I represent the sentiments of many men you’ve colonized, |
The President is eloquent but he’s never been on my side, |
Melanin’s irrelevant cause everything was prophecised, |
There was a time when they talked about the Arab Nation, |
Broke our good leaders replaced them with a pack of masons, |
Took your Keffiyeh and changed it to a fashion statement, |
You sat with Satan, Camp David means assassination, |
Peace in your imagination, that’s not real, |
I’ve been where Arafat got poisoned and Sadat got killed, |
I’m not a martyr, just a man without a Masters or a master, |
Trying to unite the people like Abdul Nasser, |
This is a battle that many better men have died fighting, |
But I hope to give an insight through my writing, |
My pen fires at the men who defend liars, |
I send fire till the end of your empire, |
We will fight to live, |
We will not give up, |
We will not give in, |
We will rise, |
And through the blood and tears, |
We will not give up, |
We will not give in, |
We will rise, |
If you’re my brother, you’re my brother but please be loyal, |
Comrades for life till we’re deep in soil, |
They came to the middle east told us we need royals, |
Just ask Mossadeq about BP Oil, |
Look at history, the pecking order you will discover, |
Nationalize your resources watch your children suffer, |
Are you still my brother? |
Even if BAE Systems gives us weapons to kill each other, |
I strike back at the empire till it falls, |
Most of us invest our money in building walls, |
Mark the words of the lyricist that’s written this, |
Any money that I do make will build a bridge, |
This is a battle that many better men have died fighting, |
But I hope to give an insight through my writing, |
My pen fires at the men who defend liars, |
I send fire till the end of your empire, |
We will fight to live, |
We will not give up, |
We will not give in, |
We will rise, |
And through the blood and tears, |
We will not give up, |
We will not give in, |
We will rise. |
