Kid Pharaoh - Flags lyrics

[Part 1] [Barack Obama - Spoken Word] There are very few moments in our lives where we have the privilege to witness history taking place. This is one of those moments, the people of Egypt have spoken, their voices have been heard and Egypt will never be the same But this is not the end of Egypt's transition, it's a beginning [Crowd Chant] Ash-shab yurid isqat an-nizam ( الشعب يريد إسقاط النظام) Ash-shab yurid isqat an-nizam ( الشعب يريد إسقاط النظام) Ash-shab yurid isqat an-nizam ( الشعب يريد إسقاط النظام) Ash-shab yurid isqat an-nizam ( الشعب يريد إسقاط النظام) [Hook] You wanna learn the truth then you ‘gon have to get to know it Tryna tell us you the truth? You ‘gon have to get to showin' We been waving all our flags up in the street for way too long It's time for revolution tell ‘em set off the alarm [Verse 1] Grab your flags & hide the children ‘cause they headed to the square The revolution's being televised, it's all up on the air When the sun sets, the sky ‘gon be lit up with all the flairs They not leaving the streets til we see the government declare Revolution, retribution for sweeping up all the facts In the heart of the capital of the country on my back In the land of the Pharaoh's with the freedom under attack Only time you'll see a tear is when police throwing the gas Civil War, Captain America causing hysteria Poking noses in the roses from Egypt all up to Syria People in the streets they just tryna reclaim their area Tryna get their voices heard but really you don't hear me There's a War going on, that's what I see on television And they want me to conform because I use my inner wisdom Inner vision, they don't listen, I really want an end An Arabic speaking African, they really want me dead [Pre-Hook] There's a revolution happening outside my window Revolution happening outside my window A revolution happening outside my window They k**ing all the children, the women and all my kinsfolk [Hook] We been waving all our flags up in the streets for way too long Waving all our flags up in the street for way too long Waving all our flags up in the street for way too long It's time for revolution, tell ‘em set off the alarm You wanna learn the truth then you ‘gon have to get to know it Tryna tell us you the truth? You ‘gon have to get to showin' We been waving all our flags up in the street for way too long It's time for revolution tell ‘em set off the alarm [Crowd Chant] Ash-shab yurid isqat an-nizam ( الشعب يريد إسقاط النظام) Ash-shab yurid isqat an-nizam ( الشعب يريد إسقاط النظام) Ash-shab yurid isqat an-nizam ( الشعب يريد إسقاط النظام) Ash-shab yurid isqat an-nizam ( الشعب يريد إسقاط النظام) Time for revolution tell ‘em set off the alarm [Barack Obama - Spoken Word] This transition must bring all of Egypt's voices to the table, the perseverance the Egyptian people have shown can serve as a powerful wind at the back of this change [Part 2] [Beat Switch] [Pre-Hook] sh** is still the same, man ain't nothing gonna change We been waving all our flags and now they gonna hear our name Man said sh** is still the same, man ain't nothing gonna change We been waving all our flags and now they gonna hear our name Wave that flag [Hook] x2 Said wave that flag Wave that wave that wave that flag Wave that flag up in the air said wave that flag up in the air [Pre-Hook] [Hook] x 2
