"#JAN25 | Lyrics"




"First they ignore you

Then they laugh at you
Then they fight you
Then you WIN"
- Ghandi


OMAR OFFENDUM:

I heard em say 
The revolution wont be televised
Aljazeera 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
Um il-Dunya's living proof
That its a matter of time
before the chicken is 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 a Freedom of the Press
we know Freedom is the answer 
The only question is… 

Who's next?


AYAH:

Time to push, and we aint 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


THE NARCICYST:

Weathering the storm, pleasure to be born,
news media disseminate at heaven's gate's level of alarm...
3rd Person Dictators couldn't sever them till dawn
3 mill in your streets, 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 Mohammed Bouazizi...
All I see is...
Al-Jazeera Logos,
Pillars of the State can now hear their own souls,
Karma waits for no man, 
your presidential charm and armor break,
out of place in your own homeland,
Now Dip like Mezza..
imagine a million human march to Gaza, 
From Qahira to Baghdad, siyasatkom saa7ira…..
3alamat Al-akhira... 


AYAH:

Time to push, and we aint 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


FREEWAY:

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 squeezin 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 pharoah 
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


AYAH:

Time to push, and we aint 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


AMIR SULAIMAN:

wont be just niggas 
wont be just spiks
a rabs pakis rednecks and hicks
the leaders aint 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 like i got a key to the crib

the house and the senate
ousted in a minute
takes these streets to wall street

this ones for kemit

they on that ghandi
they on that che though
but that che turn cairo fuego 
Hard for the press to find a Scapegoat
When evey man woman and child at the table
They think they John Adams
They think they Ben Franklin
they want democracy 
what them arabs thinkin 
the world leaders now can see when
keep people from eating
the people will eat them


AYAH:

Time to push, and we aint 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

  2. Great track you people!

    You really got the spirit of the Egyptian people.

    It is available for download? I'd love to put in my next dj set.

    Last time I put one of the Manic Street Preachers in honor of the heroes of Egypt, but this is off course much more appropriate
