Arabian Gangster

[Verse 1]
Salamu alaykum
Laat youngster fe bay kom
Jy praat ek wys hom
I'm gettin smart and you stay dom
Cape town is my grond
I know convicts like I’m Akon
And they say that the apple don't fall too far
We turned out to be acorns
And I’m using my powers for good
It doesn't happen much in our hood
Those in power is crooks
They change history in our books
So we read the lines of the g code
Ears, fingers and teeth gold
That lifestyle bring the young down they slipping low in a deep hole
I see G's go to Mosque when they hear the Adhan
My uncle had a gun and he had a Quran
[?]
R.I.P to my bra Irfan
I don’t make salah five times a day
It’s a lay-by waiting for crime to pay
Even myself I could die to day
So when the light astray i put my pride away
It’s not worth the fight
It’s not worth the life
But see the brasse here they don’t care
I’ve seen the greed even when it's Eid some people here they dont share
It’s the favourite day for the cape malay
But sometimes they don’t see what the blessing is
Everyone else seems to think we kwaai
So let’s be proud of our heritage please

[Chorus]
Where your cameras at
Film this and capture that
We making kroon to survive in our habitat
It’s G’s up
Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat then make it crack-a-lack
Arabian gangsta doin’ drive-by’s on camelback
Where your cameras at
Film this and capture that
We making kroon to survive in our habitat
It’s G’s up
Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat then make it crack-a-lack
Arabian gangsta doin’ drive-by’s on camelback

[Verse 2]
As a matter-fact
You just acting big
You’re character’s whack
You manufactured him
Don’t look at me bra
Gaan hou jou ma dop
I know killers who’s disguise was a salah top
They tell you blaas op
Here in the Kaap tronks
Wearing kufia’s criminals taking no time off
Its 27/4 shit
Taliban 911 shit
Claim that Iraq had provoked the attack
But they still have produced no evidence
And they still have the same image now of us
In Cape Town there’s eight hundred thousand plus
A large population we starting a nation
Till almost halve of the cape is Arabian
Association with gangs is a norm
Pagad is around and you have been warned
Every single day a new gangster is born
The cycle continues back and then forth
South Africa’s torn divided by race
The people who fought feel like it was a waste
20 years later we in the same place
The cape is unsafe
I'm making you wys of problems we face
Stating my case and I leave it on record for all to see
If nobody listens then i will have to say the conversations between Allah and me

[Chorus]
Where your cameras at
Film this and capture that
We making kroon to survive in our habitat
It’s G’s up
Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat then make it crack-a-lack
Arabian gangsta doin’ drive-by’s on camelback
Where your cameras at
Film this and capture that
We making kroon to survive in our habitat
It’s G’s up
Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat then make it crack-a-lack
Arabian gangsta doin’ drive-by’s on camelback
