Inspired by DAM’s song “Meen Erhabe”
in the documentary Slingshot Hip Hop
who’s the terrorist
i’m the terrorist
when you take away my land & occupy me
this wall one day will fall
who’s the outcast
i’m the outcast
when you kill my brother & destroy my city
this land one day will be free
who’s the child
i’m the child
when you tie my hands down & persecute me
this suffering one day will pass
who’s the stranger
i’m the stranger
when you isolate me in my own country
this distance one day will be gone
who’s the Ishmael
i’m the Ishmael
when you disperse my people & reject me
this wound one day will be healed
who’s the radical
i’m the radical
when you surround my village & stereotype me
this hate one day will be love
who’s the animal
i’m the animal
when you check my i.d. & profile me
this insult one day will be praise
who’s the agitator
i’m the agitator
when you paint me on your t.v. & say i’m the enemy
this deception one day will be exposed
Clamor
