I know lifers that never really belonged there
Words are taken out of context conjured to make the lies bare
Like fruit from the forbidden tree they had a pair
And like the devil’s advocates, they didn’t forget to share
It’s amazing to me
A damn tragedy
Words put her in the noose
Where’s the free speech?
Oh, right, there is none
We not a free country
We never were one
We just a dream that I wish I never had

Cause I hate to be associated with the names of women and men
Who can’t use reason even if it showed up on the deck
With a sign on it saying please play next
And they just skip it
Not really worried about the consequences
Just worried about their misconceptions
They don’t understand peace they only see the weapons
They think they need to protect the honor of a man who never laid hands on another

With guns bullets knives swords fist fights
Anything to show brute force like they the knights
In shining armor that God sent armed to kill whoever utters his name without concern
For what that makes them
Sinners that will never make it to the realm
That they think they deserve with their extremist urge
This wouldn’t be surprising if it was the Taliban
But for the government to spend 8 years to see they were wrong
I’m ashamed to even bare the name of this state
And I’m ashamed my voice means nothing for the change
But could get me killed
Well that’s food for thought
Maybe they’ll burn me alive or chop me into pieces like Jamal
Whatever that means, I’ve almost run my race
I think I’ll retire if I have to see another case
That reads of anybody slaughtered in the name of blasphemy

To me, that makes the country worse than any racists that be
You can count me out
I can’t shed my skin
But I can change my kin
I can change my heart and leave the culture in the bin
And let it disintegrate throw it far, far away
Denounce its name when its uttered with any pride and grace
And if I’m ever asked about my past I leave out the place
That gave me my only home but also a society filled with hate
They can’t leave anyone alone
They can’t let minorities live with their souls
At peace, they need to kill them in cold blood just to get some sleep
They need to tell women how to dress, what to do, how to eat
And chastise them if they even attempt to take a leap
I saw comments saying there is no Pakistan without Islam
Be gone with the rest they don’t share our Imaan
Hang them by the neck, bare their legs and arms
Make an example out of them show them what happens if you’re not Musalman
And dare to step in the land of the crescent and star
