Old walls that I built for you

Just to dig me out with silver spoons

No I didn′t see it coming, ohOld walls that I'm stuck inside

I guess beauty sees what I can′t find

I didn't, no I didn't, see it coming

Well I got your code and I got your message

I want you to know that you

Are the love of my life

The love of my life

You never leave when the song is over

You ride or die til the end

You′re the love of my life

You′re the love of my life

My life

From Baghdad to Beirut

I'm losing my damn roots

Far from home

Nobody cares about us

Nowhere to go to

This a sensible topic

But I′m rapping on it

Risking my freedom

Risking my peace

My people

My home

I lost all of these

But I'm not giving up on them

Tell me what happened to Raqqa?

Kabul, Baghdad, and Sana′a

So much heritage wrecked like Bosra

Palmyra and Gaza

But then

There's so much depth to this grief

So much pain you can′t see

So much more to be dealt with

That no one even bothered to seek

I've seen mankind killing over

Money and jewels

Then starting over

Feeding off power

Feeding off hate

And watching all of us go under

I just wanna see my region

Find its strength and pride again

History has yet to show

If it's gonna change or repeat itself

Like MLK I′ve had a dream

Where no land in the Middle East

Would suffer like they did in

Syria, Yemen, and "Felestin"

The question is

Would you rather save the people you love?

Or watch ur enemies die?

So ′till the day that I die

My voice, my body, my soul

My faith, my pencil, my fuel

Is for this fight

Old walls that I built for you

Just to dig me out with silver spoons

No I didn't see it coming, oh

Old walls that I′m stuck inside

I guess beauty sees what I can't find

I didn′t, no I didn't, see it coming

Well I got your code and I got your message

I want you to know that you

Are the love of my life

The love of my life

You never leave when the song is over

You ride or die til the end

You′re the love of my life

You're the love of my life

My life

How many brothers died for this shit?

Brother trust me I am done with this shit

Fact is

I went through all this trouble

To end up behind where I started all this

7000 years of history

Yet pain is all I see

They called us savages

What an irony

We had actual kings

From the Achaemenids

Cyrus the great

Founded the rights that you claim that u made

We founded poetry, maths, astronomy

Islam, Judaism, and Christianity

This for the Armenians, Arabs, and the Kurds

Persians, Assyrians, and the Turks

Azari, Bakhtiari, and Lurs

Never been divided

Fuck what you heard
