Holiness By Name Lyrics by Prince of Jeruz

Between2Worlds

2015

And all is left to Jerusalem
Yeah, Ah
Holiness only by Name
[Verse 1]
If Jay-Z can rap about NYC
Then why can't I rap about the Holy City
Of Jerusalem, that's where my origins are from
Where not a day passes by, could be considered calm
Every corner, every stone got a story to tell
Behind every smile, there's a window pane to hell
I'm about to spread this unholiness out in the open
Even if it means me ending up in a rotten coffin
I'm shutting down this beat
Just the way they're shutting down the streets
Listen closely son, with these bars I ain't gonna' be discreet
Judaizing IDs, judaizing the streets, judaizing concrete
This city's overwhelmed with a political deceit
Religious and moral deceit, and the list goes on
Time to take matters in our own hands and revolt
From our youngest to our eldest, we stand strong
Our women are even stronger, they're the fearless icons
Confiscation of houses, demolition and sellouts
Try taking it to trial, consider yourself already thrown out
At least one family member is locked up, man and is being locked out
Another one's killed or no body knows of his whereabouts
Expect the worst, I don't tolerate a settler as my neighbor
Keeping an eye on me, 'cuz I'm an animal, am a criminal
Thinking that you are doing me a favor
By protecting me from my own self, when you're the real radical
Straight from Al Quds, straight from the oppressed
That's the sound of my walk, my fist
Arrest me, beat me, kidnap my kids
Got nth to lose, "ama keep you in a mess
For the first time in years Al Aqsa's locked down
No prayer was performed, no answer to Athan (أذان)
We're the keepers, we're the protectors
No matter what, we're never going under
God in our backs and the will to go further
Muslim or Christian, we broke the barrier
Enough is enough, fed up with the restriction
Introducing new laws, you lost jurisdiction
Can't deny me my right to resist
My duty, my aim is to be persist
You still insist on me being a terrorist
But don't forget, I'm here to exist!
[Verse 2]
أنا من شعفاط، الطّور، ومسقط راسي سلوان
من العيسوية، المكبّر، أنا ابن حوسان
ابن الرّام، لقلنديا، أنا ابن صور باهر
من راس العامود، للصّوانة، أنا عين كارم
من المالحة، ل لفتا، للقسطل، أنا بيت تكسا
ابن أبو غنيم، أم طوبا، بيت صفافا، وحزمة
بيت المقدس أجمع من داخل ومن خارج السور
كل مقدسي كالشّوكة مغروز من الجذور
شبابك ما بنذلّ، عكتافو الأقصى وبشتعل ثورة
قدسنا ما بتنباع، وعروضنا خطوط حمرا
سكّر كلّ الأفواه، وبكفّينا تعسّف
مش بحاجة خلقة شخص يتهمني بالتّطرّف
رحمة عروح الشّهيد، مبروك بالشّهادة
ولكلّ أسير، ربّك بفرجها، اعتزّ بالشّهامة
يا نبض القدس لا تهدأ، و... أعلنها ثورة
حطّم قيدك، اجعل لحمك، جسر، جسر العودة
يا نبض القدس لا تهدأ، و... أعلنها ثورة
حطّم قيدك، اجعل لحمك، جسر، جسر العودة
