[Intro]
We Persian and proud
No matter how many times these people are burning us down
[Verse 1]
But we still fly
They're k**ing legends all over, they'll never k** mine
The richest city on the earth making feel pride
Leonidas and Alexander, the devils invade and pander
I'll tell you a story, just let me k** time
We got Cyrus and Darius fighting tyrants in areas
That united the people from ancient Persia to Syria
And all the way to Macedonia and even Bulgaria
Back then, not anybody knew of Allah
They worshipped a deity named Ahura Mazda
The good versus the evil 'cause the two surround us
We created a city, today a view we're proud of
I say welcome to Persia, the gate of all nations
The city of Persepolis was our greatest creation
Mathematics and algebra, even music instruments
Some of the greatest people, ancient civilization
We were attacked by the Arabs and white man
Alexander came and stole from people of Iran
He burned down our cities, America likes to bypa**
Depict us as villains, make mockeries out of my land
[Hook]
See our world fell down but we still stand
The ghost of the Ahriman all around me
The heat of the fire, we still feel that
But I'm yelling "Persian Pride" showing it proudly
And we will never die...And still we rise
This is something that they will never take from me
Just listen closely
[Verse 2]
America telling her people to hate us
Compared us to ISIS, the Taliban, and Al Qaeda
To get people excited to terrorize and invade us
So they can run away with money while the government rapes us
Hollywood making us villains, ugly ogres and savages
Its an agenda, its not a joke or an accident
They want to point fingers, make us the chosen antagonist
Same with the m**ms, and Mexicans, the colored and Africans
We can all be Kings, we can all be legends and we can all be free
We can all be Cyrus and we can all achieve
'Cause what we'll make is something that no single God can bring
I'm bringing Persian mixed with the culture of HipHop
When I was younger, my own culture I ripped on
I hated myself, 'cause television and Fox News
Called me the root of evil and hoping I'd get shot soon
They say Iranians are murderous thugs
Like all we ever known was violence, ugly turbans and blood
We're surrounded by liars, politicians and mullahs who have damaged our empire
[Hook]
[Conclusion]
Nihilist in moderation
Am I the only who survived in this abomination
A combination of Cyrus the Great and Tyler Durden
A Persian liberator walks amongst his conquered nation
An angry anarchist plotting, hope to bomb the matrix
f** your religion, I might snap
I get letters from God, I never write back
You see, he tells me he loves me, but theres a slight catch
To let him walk all over me and never fight back
Machiavelli wants to turn me into a Persian Prince
Acquire virtue and rid of my mental turbulence
I'm learning that I'm flawed
But thats part of this trip, this journey to be God
