lirik lagu zerotheghost - safar
[sample: zia mohyeddin]
“a vast majority of these asians, coolies of the empire, came at a mature age from small villages, almost completely untouched by western civilisation
they have never had any real context in which to view their predicament
before they came, they were only familiar with the farming life.”
[verse 1: zerotheghost]
ay
where ur clothes from
where them girls from
sorry can you tell me where you really really really from?
where your farms from?
f~ck i gotta do to get myself one
i’m burning in this sun
i’m burning from this spice, the hottest from calcutta
take a break, not a kitkat, i got myself a coolie
cl!ck~of~the~finger, that my paki start running
i work at the east india company, you might remember me
for the rest of your life
drew a line between the indian equator forever
after counting stolen peez and taking every last measure
you could never believe these gorahs didn’t measure
a map accurately giving me my cheddar
get a new job working at the nhs
wonder if i’ll ever get a chance to meet her highness
meet the mountain of light, steal a glance with my eyes
or cry, rivers of blood, they paki bashing tonight
get your ~rs~ inside
don’t leave it too late
give a f~ck if its a party for your school best mate
these streets are never that safe, son, learn life through a tv screen
son, live your life through a white man dream
skinny fat brown boy, wanna know why you ache?
wanna know why your genetic malfunctions create
the sap thats hanging from your belly is the famines from your great grandaddy
we nearly starved him to death
you shoulda seen his face, when we taxed him to death
asking for a raise, i laughed after he left
and he never got paid, still he owes me the cheque
cold
cold
[bridge: zerotheghost]
that’s how they did it
all across the world
afghanistan
kurdistan
sudan
the carribean
filastine
iraq
somalia
rwanda
beige wisdom
black power
lest we forget
the world was ours
[verse 2: zerotheghost]
nowadays it’s so hard to see real from fake
flip a coin and take a chance, it comes back counterfeit
i thought my fam for real though, drinking from oasis
beneath illusions was too many famine throughout the ages
driving past the caravans and new build estates, i guess
life is what you make bouncing on a council state
still the safar of the soul is the one we make alone
in the barzakh no, not the sapphire in your stones
that new age sh~t, its all appropriation
evasive crackers colonised the wisdom of the sufis
the africans and asians warned us: occupation
make the mind thinks he white, the hair is the black type
the f~ck are they on, right? i’m done with the backbite
spit facts to your face, bro i’m done with the colonised
perceptions of a paki, but the teacher very happy
if she don’t know her history, or why she here in the first place
i’m in the marrakesh masjid, doing my dhikr
subh~n~llah a hunnid times, and purify intentions
prevent malevolence, uh, acknowledge my blessings
spiritual foresight is stronger than hindsight
with every single gift i bestow onto the world
deeper and deeper and deeper, the way we twirl
we move into the asiatic soul dimensions
the ones that they could never hold, the ones they never mention
can barely hold it down what they did to our people
crowns of the regal to israeli evil
still, i probably get cancelled for that last bar
predictably dismiss everything i’ve said so far
that is our safar, that is how they do it
say we hate the jewish when we really more jewish
a live performance of neocolonialism moving
stay the f~ck out my way, the proof is blacker than your puddings
[sample: zia mohyeddin]
“they have lived in the belief that existence is a cross
to be born for the sake of their children
life in any case is ephemeral
hereafter is what counts
they have clung on to a pitless routine of work and overtime
but now with all the swift changes around them
especially in their own children”
