The Narcicyst - #Jan25 lyrics

[Produced by Sami Matar] [Intro: Omar Offendum] "First they ignore you Then they laugh at you Then they fight you Then you win" [Verse 1: Omar Offendum] 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... [poof] 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 ma**es 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? [Interlude] 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! [Hook x2: Ayah] 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 [Verse 2: The Narcycist] 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... [Hook x2] [Verse 3: 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 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 [Hook x2] [Verse 4: Amir Sulaiman] Won't be just n***as, 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 [Hook x2]
