ragtop – 1948 lyrics

chorus
one
for the sun that washes over us all
nine
for the guns that they use to defend walls
four
for the corners of the earth that didn’t listen
eight
million strong, building on

one, nine, four, eight
that’s the date our catastrophe is commonly post at
it’s a common mistake
imma take it way back pre-zionist state
the true purpose of hip-hop: please educate

see jewish people were persecuted for many a age
european racism manifested in rage
one, eight, nine, seven
the brethren gathered in oslo
theodore herztel, the author they all followed

see, his idea was that jews should move
many options were floated – argentina, uganda
you gotta read to believe the deeds of the thief
philistine was decided as the the place that they needed

basically rich europeans told poor europeans that
if they moved, then they’d be moving back
pack of lies, distracted and disguised
a land without a people even though my peeps resided
right in front of their eyes wondering why
these light skinned outsiders moved right in
buying up guns, dividing their funds
and sad to say we got used to ‘em
like allan be in jerusalem

chorus

fast forward – revolution’s now the topic i’m on
in thirty-six the british murdered izz ad-din al-q-ssam
and the people started to riot
sick of sitting, lying, watching their expansion happen
so we got to clapping back when
most of the streets were still dirt
and the towns were still arab
but the bullets still hurt. didn’t work
last minute the brits got bailed out
that’s how the usa enters our tale now

after that, ain’t no one wanna handle the aftermath
p-ss the math to the un who then proceeded to cut and slice it
pretending they were nice
it’s not hard to see their devices, sheisters
meanwhile, back in europe it got worse, you see
the n-z- party is soon controlling germany
rounded up non aryan people purposely
and sparked the prequel to world war three

by the end of it, many jews ended up
refugees stuck on boats floating in between the coast
most turned away from east europe and again in the west
rejected by us so with little option left
they headed to my homeland
colonisers ready to claim their prize and reprise
the pain they’d seen with their own d-mn eyes
how it felt when they seen and realise that their dream was old sham

chorus

now let me break it down
in fourty-eight the palestinians were eighty percent of the population
that’s a win-and-win situation any way that you add it
but crooked politicians equals crooked mathematics
these rat b-st-rds had mad cash and they invested it
into the right pockets and history’s the rest of it
hence the decision to partition the land fifty-fifty
shifty shifty arabs to the desert so that zionists can live
we weren’t ‘bout to have that
so when the zionists accepted arabs attacked
but the fact’s that our armies were half–ssed
caught up in a land grab lacking a napsack
while mad arabs p-ssed in the m-ssacres at deir y-ssin
and other villages no longer there to be seen
see once the rumours started spreading then the people started fleeing
a long trail of tears to amien from jenin to beirut, ?
feet bleeding, hearts broken
looking back hoping for a brighter day that didn’t come right away
one million refugees grew up in the eight
sixty years later still feels like that day
the fact that most people don’t know is a shame
control of knowledge is the whole of the game
so what you heard about it?
