Omar Offendum - #Syria

OFFENDUM X POETS of PROTEST (Oo vs PP) is an experimental juxtaposition of some of the Arab World's most notable poetic voices layered &amp; scratched by Filipino-American DJ Boo over a mix of sample-based Hip-Hop instrumentals from Omar Offendum's beat catalogue. 

The four poets sampled were Mazen Maarouf (Palestine), Manal Al Sheikh (Iraq), Ahmed Fouad Negm (Egypt) &amp; Hala Mohammad (Syria) - as seen/heard on the Aljazeera Artscape series 'Poets of Protest' released a little over one year ago (Sep 2012). After listening to this short mix (16:15), we encourage you to watch the full documentary series which includes two more poets (Yehia Jaber of Lebanon &amp; Al Khadra of Algeria / Sahara), as well as translations of all their verses &amp; links to more of their inspiring work &gt;&gt;

http://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/poetsofprotest/

It is our hope that this project can serve as a bridge between lovers of poetry & hip-hop - between America & the Arab World - between generations, languages, cultures & continents . . . Please share this mix with your friends, family, parents & professors!

أهواك بلا أمل
i love you without a hope

و عيونك تبسم لى
and your eyes smile for me

وورودك تغرينى بشهات القبل
and your roses seduces me to kiss

أهواك و لى قلب 
i love you & i have a heart

بغرامك يلتهب
blaze from ur love

تدنيه فيقترب
when u get off it it get close

تقسيه فيغترب
when u get rude its expatriate

فى الظلمة يكتئب
in the darkness it gets depressed

و يهدهده التعب
and spell the tiredness

فيذوب و ينسكب
كالدمع من المقل
then it melts and pour out
like a tear drop from the eyes

فى السهرة أنتظر
in the evening i wait

و يطول بى السهر
and the sleepless get long with me

فيسائلنى القمر
so the moon asks me 
يا حلوة ما الخبر
whats up pretty ?

فأجيبه و القلب
قد تيمه الحب
يا بدر أنا السبب ..
so i answer while my heart is felling with love
hey moon it was my fault

أحببت بلا أمل
i loved him without a hope

Chorus:
In the light of day you are more than just a knight
seeking for a right of way asking is it just to fight..
I feel the winds of change, but everything is still the same
Even Though I fear the sun, I can only see the reign...


Verse:
Won't need no magic carpets, 
genies alladin sparking 
he, Me, Bags of the darkest 
nights in the fat of august..
lights from the flash of knowledge, 
gave all my cash to college, 
They pay me no dime if you pay me no mind, 

Don't play me your rhymes or slay me no swine
homie just back up off us!
wrap it up...  we packing up and we'll be back in the morning...
What is your revolution? going in circles daily?
Step out your virtual office, why we work to get lazy?...

Having motherless babies...  they lift curtains up off us...
that's why we use our spotlights in the search for their coffins
Love, 
From Jail Bird Fathers  
turned us to Doves, that Hail All Maytyrs....

Chorus:
In the light of day you are more than just a knight
seeking for a right of way asking is it just to fight..
I feel the winds of change, but everything is still the same
Even Though I fear the sun, I can only see the reign...(x2)

Verse 2:
More Power to the People 
Point out your brothers evils.
Give your sister a hand, although she doesn't need you...
See Your Flaws when you wake up, they are nothing to sleep through...
and all the money in the world might keep you warm and feed you..

Before the greed will eat you...Do you believe we're equal? 
Or just a plus or minus, they either want or need you.
Society cerebral..Spiritual Cemetary.... 
Where we've buried our feelings for people we visit rarely,

The Television told me the we're living in scary times,  
We were blind, I could see it clearly..
I wouldn't speak so you could hear me on the beat..
Heard they fear me if i was beardy...
As long as the fashion can match the passion, then you'll listen really...

If nothing is certain...assertively it serves a purpose
We are on the verge of chaos and everything is perfect.
Blow my clouds in cursive...searching around an earth
Deserted but proud and worth of all these soundless words...
May i ask you ...

Chorus:
In the light of day you are more than just a knight
seeking for a right of way asking is it just to fight..
I feel the winds of change, but everything is still the same
Even Though I fear the sun, I can only see the reign...

Bridge:
Can, i hitch a ride, come.... let us fly over the egypt
and find, peace in our mind...denying our demons.
my light will you be right, there by my side when I see this...
and can I kiss  your eyes, so we can fly over Egypt...

Chorus:
In the light of day you are more than just a knight
seeking for a right of way asking is it just to fight..
I feel the winds of change, but everything is still the same
Even Though I fear the sun, I can only see the reign...(x2)

The Narcicyst- Fly Over Egypt

Shadia Mansour - Assalamu Alaikum

Khalil Ismail - Wake Up (Prod by BlackToo)

Blame The Label (Ghida Fakhry)
(Y.Alsalman, N.Al-Rufaie)
Produced by Sandhill (@sandhillmusic)
Written by The Narcicyst (@TheNarcicyst)
Recorded at Doctor Dinar's Dungeon 
Mixed at Pop Dukes
Mastered at SoundStuck Studios, Dubai (@soundstruckdxb) 
Published by The Medium/ Write or Wrong Publishing 2012

Chorus:
We are Coming, For Your Money
I doubt you could stop us now, we came to seize The Earth
Sick and Tired, Un-inspired,
This game is killing me, it's filling me with dreams deferred..

Verse 1:
I got sick of the gat clapping and back packing
Handclaps when I rapped of Iraq on a track- blacking out
I'm Waking up in half an hour, Shaking up your vapid power
Peoples hearts are half in doubt- acting sour
Planes started smacking towers (Owwww)
Eagle to an Owl, Malcolm to Louis
You funny style, Apatow
Throw Money on the lap of our Eve, Madame Laugh and bow, Halal?
Sonny, don't have a cow...
Just Blame The Label, for telling you to say the same Bull Shit.
That's how it has to be! Engineer it has to peak, 
You could never master me, Bounce The Track- Master P.
So When I drop the crazy anthem B, You know we killing them kid- Casey Anthony
Police chasing after me, this ain't a comedy akh uggggnnn
I got you thinking " I AM F'ed" like Dominique Strauss-Kahn

Chorus X 1

Verse 2:
Let the bottom thump. We're brushing up over here (hair) like Donald Trump
But I will rock'em if he G's (Jesus) like Madonna's Son
Show them how to run a biz without a lunge
Take the cake, bought the lunch
If only you read like a Bono Fund
Labels, skimping on bread like McDonald Buns
No Shots, or semi-auto guns, I'll send a heavy hollow one,
And bend the time out of them like
"Mashallah Dun, you are the ONE"
Stop Playing with me, Hello, Are you Listening?
I'm not rich, may be Arab with the paisley Apparel,
Bow ties, Don't style, when you're grazing with Camels, I'm grown
Sick and Tired, Sometimes, Uninspired
But I blame it on the lavender
Smoked out, you can quote me like a manager
Man, I'm cozy up in Canada.
Stuck, Yuck, to be honest, I'm broke but my uncles rich like Donald Duck
Cartoon Islamic, throw your hands up,
In the air like fear of the man up, Stairs,
You a joke, look in the mirror- where?, OVER THERE, You're on Candid Camera.
Whether you are high or you're dying for truth.
Jeff Goldblum, I'm fly in the booth,
Even though I'm feeling likeee.....

Chorus X 1

Ghida Fakhry:
We appreciate all your feedback
Positive or Negative

Verse 3:
Al Jazeera Fever
Ghida Fakhry out in Costa Rica
I met her in Doha, Eating, Gave her the Local Greeting (Salam)
She says she knows the Medium, and we fly like Helium
We got your back like an Orthopedic...(word?)
Riz Khan sipping Pellegrino,
I must be dreaming I can't tell if he knows, or we know,
and she broke in half,
My wife smacked me with the television remote
I woke up mumbling "This album is one hell of a sequel...go tell your people"

03- Blame The Label (Ghida Fakhry)

Leap Of Faith
Produced by Sandhill
Written by the Narcicyst

Verse 1: 
What's Forever to a right now kinda fella?
If I never make it, what do I tell her?
Ummmm-brella, Ri-Rifresh but I couldn't sell, 
a C-D 
if this is my leap of faith, I jumped down -but I fell up.

how does an artist develop? 
if your heart is telling you to keep going but the art scene isn't better... 
than the sharpest of metal...
used to spread yourself thin but you shouldn't have like Nutella..
Well, I

feel weirder than Jeremy Scott...
Fear of the pop got you underground like burying 'Pac
And if a Star dies in the sky before you see one
Why would I ever teach kids to reach and try be one?
hell I,

never planned a search to scope in a verse
for the afterlife, though I only know a heaven on planet earth...
If a prophet can't save us, how can a church?
Synagogue or a mosque?  just pray and hope that works? Leap of Faith...

Chorus:
I never knew that I could fly
Until I jumped out and landed in the sky
No cloud would carry me, they told me don't you try
But I knew we were stars that stood out in the light.

Verse 2: 
My pops left for North America with 60 dollars and a dream
Wife, adolescent son, a daughter in her teens
As modern as it seems, he took a leap of faith
the strings attached must have left him caught up in the seams
if everything is everything, it isnt what it seems
and I know nothing
Moms and pops said, Ibnee, life really isn't gonna be fair
you wont know what you want to be here, but start bluffin'
Jay told me life is but a beach chair
during east coast winters there wasn't even a beach there
so I took a leap, I froze in mid-air
and thawed in the fourth cycle,
with more faith than George Michael. 
If the sky is the limit then why am I in it?
If I hit the ground running, won't I fly into something?
Like the moment I started writing to speak to tapes...
I had to believe in myself to take that leap of faith...

Chorus X 2
