INTRO
Ya Rab ehros we’2o2af gamb balady, el ghenwa metakhara bas el alaam lesa’f albi,
3awzeen neshoof Misr fi salaam
We mengher ayi zolm,
Dee masha3er sadqa, Mesh bas tamseel aw aflam,
Da3aya a3shan el shohra, ya3nee da kalaam? da albi beyet-ata3 3ala balady we sha3bee, Omee ya Misr
Fenek ya zamaan? Omee ya Misr Wahashetnaa eletihad wel hanaan
(Oh Most High protect and stand by my country, this song is late but the pain is still within my heart, we want to see Egypt in Peace and without injustice, these are real feelings, not just acting or films, promotion for exposure, is that really the talk? My heart is tearing up over my country and my people… Oh Mama Egypt! Where are you Herstory? Oh Mama Egypt! We have missed the Unity and the Compassion/Care)
CHORUS
*mehtageen taghyeer fel wad3 el ehna fee (x2)
Daroori we mengher takheer lel wad3 el ehna feee, mehtageen taghyeer fel wad3 el ehna fee*
(rep all)
<We need change, urgently and without delay)
V1:
Bombs popping off
Missiles unjust anhialation
Peace treaties aid trucks of trickery lethal elimination
Political activists imprisoned without real cause
Female dignity tarnished without a choice
Voices of the Revolution
We’re Standing 4Justice
Targetted and killed with applause ‘n u think u can trust ’em?
In the name of cleaning the streets
Controlling rioters Damn teefs
elitist devilish zionist Murderers
They b da real st polluters
calling us criminals?!
All we need is a decent maleem 2feed our families,
In-equality roaming roads of Misr, religious prejudice!
Egyptian innocenct blood pours
4their order’s devil-sent
Peaceful Protestors of Freedom
Hi-jacked by the beast’s militants
Dictators and Fedz r not 4our interest
Discriminating, segregating causing more unrest
Will the melanated ‘n oppressed
Ever witness True Justice?
(Will we witness, el 3adl, el 3adl… True Justice x2)
CHORUS
V2:
Wanna know wat I’m talkin’ about?
Too much corruption’s all around
The state of the World is not ok
Destruction war famine decay
Too many deaths
Too much disease
I’m praying Lord ‘n I’m on my knees,
Gotta find an answer 2this plse
Injustices Inequities
So much Pollution
Still no Solution
Watz then 2happen 2Evolution?
Tsunamis, Earthquake,
Flood, Tornado’s
Injecting AfriKa-Bombing Arabia
SCAF or army, police or yuts, have been misguided by evil fools,
bringing corruption up in our hoods,
fi kole shara3, wef kole’ hara, sey2ool men el demoo3, …(Haram yakhsora)
Dam el shohada2 (Haram yakhsora)
Dam el abreey2aaa (Haram yakhsora)
CHORUS
(Rep all in English)
We need some change, we need some change, we need some change, we need some change,
Daroori we mengher takheer lel wad3 el ehna feee, We need some change, we need some change
Mama Egypt once a Pharoah Land,
Peaceful and Regal
Now there’s Blood on our sand
There’s Blood on our sand….
El hob (Love)
El 3adl (Justice)
El Tafahom (Understanding)
El salaam (Peace)
El ehteraam (Respect)
El etihad (Unity)
El musawah (Balance)
El horeya (Freedom)
(Rep All)

“Holding the flag for women who are generally under-represented in the arts and cultural world, specifically in the Hip-Hop scene. THE ‘First Female Egyptian Rapper’ has the guts to address those MAJOR issues such as Freedom of Speech, Women’s Rights etc and manages to be extremely respected for that, all over the Egyptian media, because her music talks about Love, Justice, Equality, Freedom, Respect, Unity, Dual Identity, Oppression, Peace, Female Independence…” (Afrolution.com 2011)
