[Intro]
Sirens in my head, they still echo through my brain
Locked up in a cell, they tried to break my name
[Verse 1]
Popping pills to kill the memories of twenty-fourteen
When they had me singing nasheeds like some f*cking machine
Grandfather's oud twisted through the trap, I'm seeing things
Guards laughing at my art while my people still can't breathe
Mixed the lean with rage, now I'm floating through the pain
Revolution turned to smoke, we all became the same
Forty-eight hours locked up, mind starts to decay
Now I chase that feeling, just to make it through the day
[Chorus]
Lost in chemical dreams, fighting shadows in my head
They want us numb and clean, but we choose the streets instead
Habibi take a pill, watch the system f*cking spin
My culture's not for sale, but they force me to sing
[Verse 2]
Streets taught me more than any f*cking school could teach
Now I'm trapped between two worlds, yeah my mind's out of reach
Mixing codeine with my tea, tradition meets the new
Samples of my roots while I'm breaking all their rules
They thought the cell would break us, make us bend and bow
But we just changed the game, now look at us right now
Every 808 boom is a middle finger raised
Every trap beat drops like bombs on their parade
[Outro]
Still hear them sirens, still feel them chains
But now we make them dance while we spit all this pain
Habibi, we ain't done, this is just the start
Revolution in my veins, rebellion in my art

[Intro]
Sirens in my head, they still echo through my brain
Locked up in a cell, they tried to break my name
[Verse 1]
Popping pills to kill the memories of twenty-fourteen
When they had me singing nasheeds like some f*cking machine
Grandfather's oud twisted through the trap, I'm seeing things
Guards laughing at my art while my people still can't breathe
Mixed the lean with rage, now I'm floating through the pain
Revolution turned to smoke, we all became the same
Forty-eight hours locked up, mind starts to decay
Now I chase that feeling, just to make it through the day
[Chorus]
Lost in chemical dreams, fighting shadows in my head
They want us numb and clean, but we choose the streets instead
Habibi take a pill, watch the system f*cking spin
My culture's not for sale, but they force me to sing

Streets taught me more than any f*cking school could teach
Now I'm trapped between two worlds, yeah my mind's out of reach
Mixing codeine with my tea, tradition meets the new

They thought the cell would break us, make us bend and bow
But we just changed the game, now look at us right now
Every 808 boom is a middle finger raised
Every trap beat drops like bombs on their parade
[Outro]
Still hear them sirens, still feel them chains
But now we make them dance while we spit all this pain
Habibi, we ain't done, this is just the start
Revolution in my veins, rebellion in my art
Sirens in my head, they still echo through my brain
Locked up in a cell, they tried to break my name
[Verse 1]
Popping pills to kill the memories of twenty-fourteen
When they had me singing nasheeds like some f*cking machine
Grandfather's oud twisted through the trap, I'm seeing things
Guards laughing at my art while my people still can't breathe
Mixed the lean with rage, now I'm floating through the pain
