«Syria» από τον Omar Offendum

Ένα ραπ για τη Συρία και το λαό της από τον συριοαμερικανό Omar Offendum, αφιερωμένο στη μνήμη του λαϊκού τραγουδιστή Ιμπραήμ Κασούς που δολοφόνησε το δικτατορικό καθεστώς της Συρίας αφαιρώντας του τον λάρυγγα, επειδή τραγούδησε στις διαδηλώσεις της πόλης του Χαμά: «Ωρα να φεύγεις Μπασάρ».

«Θα γεμίσουμε όλα τα κελλιά!»: Ενα rap για τη Συρία από τους Strong Heroes of Moscow

Το κομμάτι υπογράφουν οι Strong Heroes Of Moscow που τον περσμένο Ιούνιο ανέβασαν αυτό το video σατιρίζοντας τον πρόεδρο της Συρίας Bashar al-Assad και τα επιχειρήματα που χρησιμοποιεί το καθεστώς του για να δικαιολογήσει την καταστολή της εξέγερσης του συριακού λαού. Οι αιμάτινες κηλίδες στο video κυλούν πάνω σε πρωτοσέλιδα αραβικών εφημερίδων για να τονίσουν τη φωτογραφία του 13χρονου διαδηλωτή Hamza Ali al-Khateeb που έγινε σύμβολο της κυβερνητικής θηριωδίας καθώς μετά τη σύλληψή του οι αρχές επέστρεψαν στην οικογένειά του το ακρωτηριασμένο νεκρό του σώμα…

Οι στίχοι σε αγγλική μετάφραση:

We’re going to fill all the cells, we’re going to fill all the prisons. We want to empty the Russian guns, for the sake of the Assadi nation.
We are your soldiers Bashar, we are just dust on your boot! For your eyes’ sake we will knock down the Syrian homeland, you are the democracy!

Wherever you walk and step we will kneel and kiss the ground. We will step over every single infiltrator like the animals in the wild.

We’re going to fill all the cells, we’re going to fill all the prisons. We want to empty the Russian guns, for the sake of the Assadi nation.

We are your lions, don’t mind anything. We will fill the square with blood. It’s never about the quantity, we are the quality.

Screw freedom! Screw this rubbish! It’s a conspiracy coming from Mars. We don’t have Hindus, we don’t have Sikhs, we don’t have Zardashtis.

We’re going to fill all the cells, we’re going to fill all the prisons. We want to empty the Russian guns, for the sake of the Assadi nation.

You with high forehead, I will sacrifice my soul and my money for you. And for your eyes’ sake, you precious thing, I will slaughter my own family with a knife.

They said ‘God, freedom only!’ We will chop them like lettuce. They are only like a couple of million infiltrators, they were never the majority.

We’re going to fill all the cells, we’re going to fill all the prisons. We want to empty the Russian guns, for the sake of the Assadi nation.

Without you we’re screwed. May you get over my shoulder and hang. Your media is using all the superstition and they discovered the terrorist salafi group.

Terrorism has no cure, for you we will occupy Deraa. We will never get tired, we will never give up, until we have a genocide.

We’re going to fill all the cells, we’re going to fill all the prisons. We want to empty the Russian guns, for the sake of the Assadi nation.

Your name is always up there, your voice is heard up in the skies. Even if your own people starve to death we will elect you for eternity.

We don’t have one opinion, or two opinions. We have your light that blinds the eyes. You are our magnificent, you beautiful thing. You are the king of humanity!

We’re going to fill all the cells, we’re going to fill all the prisons. We want to empty the Russian guns, for the sake of the Assadi nation.

We’re going to fill all the cells, we’re going to fill all the prisons. We want to empty the Russian guns, for the sake of the Assadi nation.

«25 Ιανουαρίου» – Ενα τραγούδι με αφορμή μιαν εξέγερση

«Jan. 25». To τραγούδι γεννήθηκε σε ένδειξη αλληλεγγύης στον εξεγερμένο λαό της Αιγύπτου συμβολίζοντας το πνεύμα της αντίστασης των νέων του αραβικού κόσμου και των όπου γης καταπιεσμένων.

Από τους MCs:  Freeway, The Narcicyst, Omar Offendum και Amir Sulaiman. Τραγουδάει η καναδή Ayah ενώ στην παραγωγή είναι ο αμερικανοπαλαιστίνιος από τη νότια Καλιφόρνια  Sami Matar.

Οι στίχοι:

«First they ignore you

Then they laugh at you

Then they fight you

Then you WIN»

– Ghandi

OMAR OFFENDUM:

I heard em say

The revolution wont be televised

Aljazeera 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

Um il-Dunya’s living proof

That its a matter of time

before the chicken is home to roost

Bouazizi lit the…

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 masses 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 a Freedom of the Press

we know Freedom is the answer

The only question is…

Who’s next?

AYAH:

Time to push, and we aint 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

THE NARCICYST:

Weathering the storm, pleasure to be born,

news media disseminate at heaven’s gate’s level of alarm…

3rd Person Dictators couldn’t sever them till dawn

3 mill in your streets, 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 Mohammed Bouazizi…

All I see is…

Al-Jazeera Logos,

Pillars of the State can now hear their own souls,

Karma waits for no man,

your presidential charm and armor break,

out of place in your own homeland,

Now Dip like Mezza..

imagine a million human march to Gaza,

From Qahira to Baghdad, siyasatkom saa7ira…..

3alamat Al-akhira…

AYAH:

Time to push, and we aint 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

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 squeezin 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 pharoah

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

AYAH:

Time to push, and we aint 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

AMIR SULAIMAN:

wont be just niggas

wont be just spiks

a rabs pakis rednecks and hicks

the leaders aint 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 like i got a key to the crib

the house and the senate

ousted in a minute

takes these streets to wall street

this ones for kemit

they on that ghandi

they on that che though

but that che turn cairo fuego

Hard for the press to find a Scapegoat

When evey man woman and child at the table

They think they John Adams

They think they Ben Franklin

they want democracy

what them arabs thinkin

the world leaders now can see when

keep people from eating

the people will eat them

AYAH:

Time to push, and we aint 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
