lirik lagu zaarour - 4thepeople
[intro]
middle eastern stereotypes, dogmatized, so simplified, idealized, and colonized
violence is normalized and commonized
my momma cry so agonized
we terrified and jeopardized and terrorized and traumatized
no empathize only criticize
no compromise to see the light until we rise and win the fight
we ostracized appropriated privatized
disrespected, dramatized
this is not right
(yeah)
[verse 1]
i just want pay to my people
and pray for my people
just cause we not equal
i hate when i see it
politicians and mafias they livin it regal
we dyin to live and they livin to steal
they laugh at appeals
they laugh when we protest and laugh at our tears
we move outta fear cause our home is in ruins
our voices are muted
we can’t trust a government hurtin his people we gotta redo it
cause jesus was holy but still had a judas
the blood in my veins is a powerful fluid
got thousands of years in my history rooted
the tree on my flag is a testament to it
we spillin this blood like we never had knew it
i’m livin my life like it’s easy to lose it
i pray to my god cause i’m feelin so useless
to see all my people that’s livin it shoeless and livin in sewage
we keep takin hits and we keep bouncin back
and the fact that we thrive is a shortcut to prove it
we lebanese pride till its backwards and fluent
we lebanese pride till its backwards and fluent
(say it again, yeah)
[news clips]
[bridge]
lebanese till the day i die
and we have to recognize
only us who can make it right
but they could not stigmatize
or scrutinize a nation who’s ashes will only rise, immortalized
lebanese till the day i die
lebanese till the day i die
and we have to recognize
only us who can make it right
but they could not stigmatize
or scrutinize a nation who’s ashes will only rise, immortalized
(say it again, yeah)
[verse 2]
bombings and weapons militias and mafias
you think its cool but we don’t cause we die from it
sometimes in life you just can’t find the positive
some people live and the rest die in poverty
we used to be scholars and kings
now they got us in chains and we feelin the opposite
sometimes the problems you got are a blessing
compared to the people who die from oppression
corrupted and evil
i pray for the day that they die second guessin
we’re angry i hope you digested my message
we’ll teach you a lesson
that’s me and my brethren
i pray for the day we unite as a people
and stop tripping over religious connection
that’s just my perception
we seen the explosions we seen the aggression
we seen civil war and we seen the rejection
we tried a rebellion
we tried to go protest they kept using weapons
my people they deafened
oh god
[news clips]
[outro]
phoenicians, jesus, romans, caliphates, ottomans
thousands of years
civil wars
love and hate
my people
we’ve been through it all we can get through whatever we’re going through right now
