Lyrics

Welcome to the middle east
The land of your dreams
Where camels meet mystical belly dancers
Middle East? - that phrase is trash
Middle Europe still counting cash
You paint my face then say I'm fake
Put gold on bombs and call it trick
حبيبي قلي ليش
لسا عم نستخدم
هالعبارة الغريبة؟
خلونا نفكر فيها
وسط شو؟
وشرق من وين؟
هي مجرد قصة من أوروبا الوسطى
يلا حبايب
خلونا نسترجع الرواية
Middle East? nah fam, it's a label
Europe draws maps, then sets the table
You sell our stories like it's some mystique
Spice market dreams with a savage critique
You want our song but mute our pain
Hijack the look, then switch the name
Falafel for dinner and then some drones for dessert
Marhaba to the culture you purposely misheard
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Relax alright?
You're acting like I came to start a fight
It's just a phrase
I've been there ok?
I even saw Babylon
The gate – in Berlin
إنتو بتحبوا تدرسوا
اشكالنا وعاداتنا
إحنا إرهابيين ومتخلفين
وإنتو أبطال ومتطورين
وسط طيزكم
من مركزكم
إلكم وسط
وإلنا وطن
صبري راح
وراسي داخ
يلا يابا
خلينا نسترجع الرواية
Come ride my camel through your own creation
I'll bring the hummus - you bring the colonization
Sip my oil like it's fine libation
I'll bring the spice - you bring the occupation
I mean... I was tryin' to be nice
Just describing things, that's allowed, right?!
And Middle West, pff
What's that even supposed to be?
Wait – Europe stole the Ishtar gate?
Funny how words shift depending on who's saying them
I'm not saying I'm bad – I'm just thinking
So -
Is it problematic?
Middle East? nah fam, it's a label
Europe draws maps, then sets the table
You sell our stories like it's some mystique
Spice market dreams with a savage critique
You want our song but mute our pain
Hijack the look, then switch the name
Falafel for dinner and then some drones for dessert
Marhaba to the culture you purposely misheard
Middle East? nah fam, it's a label
Europe draws maps, then sets the table
You sell our stories like it's some mystique
Spice market dreams with a savage critique
You want our song but mute our pain
Hijack the look, then switch the name
Falafel for dinner and then some drones for dessert
Marhaba to the culture you purposely misheard
