Home Land

Kurdistan was a perfect land
They took our home and made us scatter
Take this Kurd's word
It hurt worse but didn't matter
Now I'm classified as an Iranian Kurd
No place to call home I'm on Canadian turf
They wanna tear me down but I've been in control
Saddam tried to kill us then was hiding in a hole
Why am I told everything's okay? It's not
There's no way, you're lying and you know
While Saddam's clan were out been killing men
He was building Kurdish mountains of skeletons
Don't know what I've been through
You've been too arrogant
Whether you Persian or Kurdish, Hindu, Arabic
They think you terrorists, think I'ma blow up?
Know what? You need a shrink or therapist
If I ever saw Hussein I'd be quick to chase him
It was my people he killed, we would kick his face in

I know that my people will make it through
Eyes closed, believe it I'll pray for you
Evil ain't breaking through
I know that you made us lethal people
So my people are hating you
I know that my people will make it through
Eyes closed, believe it I'll pray for you
Evil ain't breaking through
I know that you made us lethal people
So my people are hating you

If there's something I don't know then I'm planning to know it
I come from a family of poets so I have to be flowing
It's in my bloodline, can't make it more clear, no
We left Mahabad when I was four years old
Came to Canada as a Kurdish immigrant
The transition burned my innocence
Learn your witnessing life from a Kurd's eye view
And it starts with the war that burned my youth
A baby hearing grenades, how can I not listen?
Lately I've been in pain, you see I'm not kidding
I came for education will they stop with the testing?
I should be back home playing soccer or wrestling
Playing takhta, backgammon with my relatives
These fake friends are backstabbing, that's irrelevant?
They bury the truth, admit it, it'll surface man
The truth don't exist like speed limits in Kurdistan

I know that my people will make it through
Eyes closed, believe it I'll pray for you
Evil ain't breaking through
I know that you made us lethal people
So my people are hating you
I know that my people will make it through
Eyes closed, believe it I'll pray for you
Evil ain't breaking through
I know that you made us lethal people
So my people are hating you

My first day on earth was in Kurdistan, my birthplace
Saddam was trying to kill us more than our earthquakes
I guess this man thought that he was mother nature
He was carrying burying Kurds like an undertaker
This our history I don't tell jokes
We can't tolerate this shit, hell no
I guess I lost it, I don't find much funny
They be greedy and needy, let them touch some money
Tell me would you leave all your loved ones bloody?
Cause someone that hates everyone loves somebody
And they hate us for no reason, it's annoying we breathing
Enemies everywhere no way to be avoiding them even
I ain't singing the blues, I'm loyal been preaching
I'm bringing the truth, we trading oil for freedom
Knew I'd be back, now it's time to face the facts
How the world forget to put Kurdistan on the map huh?

I know that my people will make it through
Eyes closed, believe it I'll pray for you
Evil ain't breaking through
I know that you made us lethal people
So my people are hating you
I know that my people will make it through
Eyes closed, believe it I'll pray for you
Evil ain't breaking through
I know that you made us lethal people
So my people are hating you

Oh damn Kurdistan is my homeland
I left when I was a kid and now I'm a grown man
(Now I'm a grown man) Now I'm a grown man
I left when I was a kid and now I'm a grown man
Oh damn Kurdistan is my homeland
I left when I was a kid and now I'm a grown man
(Now I'm a grown man) Now I'm a grown man
I left when I was a kid and now I'm a grown man
