da arabian mcs - born here lyrics

dam
“born here”

hunting season. they prey: another home
of a dove trapped under the hawk’s regime
let’s try more optimism:
each day i see like 100 cops
arresting a dealer? here, or here? no…
they came to destroy his neighbor’s home
what’s this? a hate bubble around the ghetto
why’s it hard for him?
wherever i go, excused greet me
i broke the law? no, the law broke me
enough, enough, gentlemen
i was born here, my grandparents too
you will not sever me from my roots
even if i believed in this phony regime
you’d forbid me a porch to proclaim it from

our neighborhood is embarr-ssed
not dressed in silk
if fear still lives in our hearts
a bride without a veil
waiting, longing for her beauty
ethnic cleansing knocks on the door
time’s p-ssed her over, forgotten her
the separation wall mutes her hope
like a bird that breaks out of the cage
she’ll spread her wings and fly
no fear!

here i build my home, here you destroy it
if mine is illegal, what of yours, cousin?
i try to build a home, but what i can build is found
in do-re-me or will be found in a place
with people who promise a light in the tunnel
but it’s just a bulldozer, or a train going over
no, no, in this song no censorship
there’s sewage, rail tracks, call it “architecture”
add to it white pepper
and it will be sneezed from a loaded gun
all the things i’ve said have been given a voice
and people stand in line who have difficulty in their smile
and smile in difficulty
while we have this in us, it’s a rope too tangled
“this is not racism, this is zionism”
enough. this is ignorance atop ignorance

our eyes watch, our children seek
a future where “the sky’s the limit”
a dream now covered in ruins and dust
but the light’s not quite extinguished…
a destroyed house with 8 tracks in the garden
each day, at least 200 trains
behind the ruins, a separation wall that belongs between the house and the tracks
instead, it’s between snir and nir tzvi
the government says everything there is illegal
so, hang on, just a second…
consider all the “legal” neighborhood has:
health care centers – surrounded by sewage
kindergarten – surrounded by sewage
there is no excuse for this
it’s just the city doesn’t care about arabs
because the government has a wish:
maximum jews on maximum land
minimum arabs on minimum land
this house wasn’t legally approved
and you won’t erase it
