'Sikeena'
(Y.Alsalman, O.Chakaki, N.Al-Rufaie)
Lyrics by Hobson Jobson
Produced by Sandhill
2014 The Medium

Off 'El Nargisee' out July 27th 2014. 

Lyrics (Translated)
'Sikeena' is the Arabic Word For Knife

The sample is saying "We gave you knifes instead of flowers" 

OO:

Oh Iraq ... The road to Syria / Sham is full of blood ... A crescent made fertile from all the corpses ... Below the earth - buried worries & stories ... Who's to blame? 

Nothing is clear anymore in this cloudy world ... I know what you know ... 
My pain/pen is your dream ... Open your mind ... Close your mouth ... Don't even worry about it ... Listen to your mothers word when she tells you where the poison lies ... Behind your eyes you'll find your opiate ... 

So stand up my boy ... Smell the flowers & gather your tears ... Son of my hometown - notice all the blessings around you & kiss your elbow ... Eve is from your imagination ... Open your ribs / chest & embrace the blessings / goodness ... Go against the grain ... 

With a knife of poetry, they've captured the poet ... It cuts in action, and the actor is pleased ... He left the desert & ran for the coast ... To swim & enjoy himself - but drowned in the end ... 

Thus was the price of his freedom ... His hopes & intentions ... 
An oceanic imprisonment ... Mental Preoccupation ... An occupation of thought ... A disconnection of the vertebrae ... Up above the palm tree he saw the morning sun of pride ... 

The liquor of love - be wary of drinking ... For so many have tragically perished after tasting it ... Be it the love of a person - or love of a nation - Be careful ... My advice brother is to be patient ... 

Don't forget to take care of your family & keep treading lightly ... For land-mines & rifles lie between your home & your grave ... All the lies of this world ... This TV screen will tell you ... The words are not comforting but Allah is most generous. 


Narcy: 

Oh Dear World ... We are lost in the population during a planetary revolution .... Something I never fathomed .... Hold Your Self together Believers , The Devil is overseeing us, but we will hang that criminal by his tail ...

The Dark Oppressors of Our Sick Age ... You should stay close to me if we find a path , even if illuminated by fire ... and when they rain bullets down on us , we will drown them in the redness of tears of blood .... Dialogue is not enough, we will raise our fist and smack them like Omar Sharif ...

For I have Not Forgotten. For The One Who Does not have Mercy Upon Me. Nor Does He want to understand me .... Speaking in other languages (those of our cousins) ...

We are seated together, counting our dead .... dinner has been eaten but our thirst remained in the house of organized religion .. They do not serve us water without blood ... controlling you, me, us , everyone ....

Oh Mother where is the information gone ? Our televisions playing anesthetic stabbing us with the biggest of needles ... his  eyes huge in his regard ... and spineless he slithers like a Cobra laying between the Ummah (Collective) ...

But where is the Ummah? Why do you no longer think of your mothers, fathers , sisters and brothers .... A united Arab Replublic .... pffff, like Biggie said, It was All A Dream...

STREETS MOVE ON  ON AIR   Kyle Rapps

In this chapter of the Lost Memoirs, Majnun confesses that an all-consuming love has rendered rational thought mute and torn him into a world in which the beloved is all. Although unable to reunite with the beloved, the universe has become an expanse of innumerable mirrors, which at every moment reflect her face from new angles. Woven together indistinguishably are the ecstasy of contemplating the beloved and the pain of separation from her lips. The tension of love builds until ultimately the lover finds his own self-awareness to be but a veil.

LYRICS:

Verse I:
 
This house of mirrors
got me deep in the zone
you know how I feel
Nina Simone
dig inside your chest
and unearth apocryphal poems
evil is what we do that makes you leave us alone
cuz life is gifted
every time we breath is a loan
you just want beef?
come on sink your teeth in the bone
and suck the marrow out
now tell me what is it you care about?
Mosesing my ego
I'm still trying to get the Pharaoh out
and if they ask about my whereabouts
I'm writing in the sands of foreign lands
like West African marabouts
to remember my original tongue
but now I'm stuck in this Babylon
under digital suns
born into the tent
and like the rivers we run
but the air is too polluted
for my physical lungs
so I inhale through my heart
and beat the rhythm it drums
and turn with every cell in my body
to the Infinite One  
 
Hook:
 
It’s so hard
living life without you
Habibi, uhibuka fi’llah
(Beloved, I love you in God i.e. “for God’s sake”) x2
 
Verse II:
 
Its so hard
but these painful emotions
are closer to true love
than ecstatic devotion
it's hand-to-hand combat
the blood, as it's soaking
there’s no telling if it's of me
or of my opponent
until I'm unblinded
and reminded I am my opponent
then duality dies and I'm not fighting
I'm floating
I'm not dueling
I'm dancing
it’s stillness in motion
whirling me open like the Milky Way
galaxies, oceans
as I'm sworn into existence
membership for the moment
in the embers of remembrance
smoldering, smoking
to be present in your presence
absent in your essence
they said I should just forget you
I could never be chosen
and we could never be together
they said it'd just be better
if I finally would let you go
and forget you forever
transformed, as all is perishing
except your face
into a continent of parched tongues
that yearns for a taste
 
Verse III:
 
Like I could die before I die
and just let you inside
so you can witness yourself
as I see through my eyes
if I could die before I die
and let you inside
so you can be the one
who sees through my eyes
If u don't count yourself amongst the deceased
word for the wise
count yourself amongst the deceived
I feel too alive
the letter killeth
and the spirit giveth life,
so I'm murdered and resurrected
every word I recite
I pray that you get this letter
and that when it arrives
there’s still time to revive me
to subsist in your eyes
pure longing
pulled like the moon on the tide
on the shore of transcendence
I’m watching you shine
as each drop in the ocean
connects and it binds
and calms
to reveal your reflection
I'm blind
as all is absent in your essence
and present in your presence
all is perishing except your face
I step and I dive
