lyrics
Translation: Evolvement
Verse 1
Let me teach you the rules of the game up front
Even if you don’t think my words are worth anything
I put on my golden crown
“Arabic Rap” is written on it, with diamonds
This is the original rap, and the voice is coming from Iran
Our goal is big, so we put these verses out there
Our feet are on the ground, and our weapon is our faith
Even if we couldn’t speak, we communicate with body language
We behead and we recreate all the ominous pages of history
We create wounds and then we’re silent since our hearts are impure
We’re happy while everything we do is disgusting
When we hear what’s said of us, we laugh because our minds are empty
But we’re not terrorists, and not antihumanists
When the decisions are tyrannical you just need to be opportunistic
We’re in a fight all the time, but who is really behind it?
A force is controlling us and we’re just looking at them
Our thoughts are asleep, and they’ve all beed decided
And execution is our final verdict
And we fight for freedom constantly
We walk on the path of peace like the current in cables,
Like a hidden skin disease, the blood in the vains,
There’s no fear, we’ll stand in front of tyranny like a pillar
And this voice is the evidence, we write against evil openly
Everyday you look around and can’t find a friend
Everyone’s an air head, but your brain has a reason
Has a reason for everything, So you try to guide them
But they’re brains are locked, and you still try to find your audience in them
Sit in my masterclass and I’ll teach you the ways of the world
We suffer and we’re insulted, so much that we forget our own names
You try to organize your thoughts
But they still manage to pull you in
Play around and be happy, why do you care what’s our essence?
Chorus
Start thinking, the light is near
Start thinking, feel the spring in the air
We don’t have a use for a long life
We might even die without having a single good day
Nothing will be solved as long as your mind is sick
Nothing will be solved as long as your mind is sick
Nothing will be solved, nothing will be solved
We don’t use our brain even a little
Verse 2
We hope that the earth is destroyed
We think like a colonized country
We got water but we’re waiting for rain
And we only got a picture left from the good old days
Forget these thoughts
Humanity insists on destroying the earth over and over again
Air raid siren in our ears since the childhood
But I feel like God’s always with us
Our good heart is our sin, both inside and outside our home country
We try harder, every hour and every day
Effort is good, but where’s the thinking?
I know you’re tired, thinking you’re the loser in this game
Khouzestan is hell too, the whole world is a divine test
But we’re all siblings, and believe in reality
Enough is enough, the time for reform has come
Let’s change the way think from this day forward
Teardrops running down the face, heart’s broken in pieces
But piece by piece we’ll grow ur knowledge
Everything can be fixed if your mindset is right
Chorus
Start thinking, the light is near
Start thinking, feel the spring in the air
We don’t have a use for a long life
We might even die without having a single good day
Nothing will be solved as long as your mind is sick
Nothing will be solved as long as your mind is sick
Nothing will be solved, nothing will be solved
We don’t use our brain even a little
