Kid Pharaoh - Flags lyrics

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

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)

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

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

There’s a revolution happening
Outside my window
Revolution happening outside my window
A revolution happening outside my window
They killing all the children
The women and all my kinsfolk

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

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

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

Shit 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 shit 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

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
