(CA) Crazy Arabian

CA I’m a crazy Arabian
Arabian, Arabian, Arabian, Arabian
CA, A, A
Ya

[Verse 1]
CA I’m a crazy Arabian
I came from Malaysia straight off a slave ship
Still got the chains and my whole mindstate is the past
Like I know what a apartheid is
Scorned from the 80’s born in the 90’s
I played in the road, raw with the laaities
All them would fight me, call me a whitey
Because I went to school and I talked more politely
And then I got older, more didn’t like me
Felt like a war, everywhere and inside me
Help me I’m developing habits
The Cape has different kind of Arabs
The girls aren’t asking for marriage
And the men just bring along baggage
They take a girls heart do damage
Now babygirl had a miscarriage
Just another day and it’s average
Survivals’ an everyday tactic
Things take time and a hand ticks
Death come in threes like a hat trick
Collecting Arabian antiques
In the sand dunes with the cactus
Around boys and the snakes and arachnids
But I am a profit I’m a champion
But God lemme not start bragging
Allah please grant me compassion
Excuse me I’m so deurmekaar
I make Salaah in Ramadan
I smoke and I know its haram
I know I’ve ignored the adhan
And these are the faults of Insaan
I feel I embarrassed Islam
Because I’m...

[Chorus]
CA I’m a crazy Arabian
I’m straight from the kaap
You can find me on the pavement
I’m hard like a baksteen but bars like a yster
I don’t wanna talk much and I don’t wanna say niks
CA I’m a crazy Arabian
Arabian, Arabian, Arabian, Arabian
CA I’m a crazy Arabian
Arabian, Arabian, Arabian, Arabian

CA I’m a crazy Arabian
Straight from the kaap
You can find me on the pavement
Hard like a baksteen bars like a yster
I don’t wanna talk much and I don’t wanna say niks
CA I’m a crazy Arabian
Arabian, Arabian, Arabian, Arabian
CA I’m a crazy Arabian
Arabian, Arabian, Arabian, Arabian

[Verse 2]
Ya uh
CA I’m a crazy Arabian
All of my freedom and privilege was taken
Adopted the ways of the nation
That’s not how I want it, that’s how the country has made it
Face it, the president has graduated as masons
All we’ve been taught is corrupt education
Time has been wasted, indoctrinated
A coloured bru kill a coloured bru and that’s racist
I waited to say this, I have been patient
Notice the system has really degraded
Pray in a place that is sacred
May Allah guide me and protect me from satan
Islamic religion is ancient
Dating back to the oldest of civilization
In the cape there was colonization
Only some of the races were favoured
We were stripped naked, given new names and
Forced into labour surrounded by danger
Raised in the cages, spices and flavours were traded
District 6 was invaded, but we want peace in the Kaap
Coz look what they did to Rashied and Rashaad
You seeing the baard
He could be a gangster or be Mawlānā
I appeal to jamaat
It doesn’t take much can we please make dua
Coz it feel like we stuck
There’s a war in the streets and it feels like Iraq
And you ending up dead coz the ouens do drive by’s
Wearing a fez
Now it’s off with his head
When the car drove away then the number plate said...

[Chorus]
CA I’m a crazy Arabian
I’m straight from the kaap
You can find me on the pavement
I’m hard like a baksteen but bars like a yster
I don’t wanna talk much and I don’t wanna say niks
CA I’m a crazy Arabian
Arabian, Arabian, Arabian, Arabian
CA I’m a crazy Arabian
Arabian, Arabian, Arabian, Arabian

CA I’m a crazy Arabian
Straight from the kaap
You can find me on the pavement
Hard like a baksteen bars like a yster
I don’t wanna talk much and I don’t wanna say niks
CA I’m a crazy Arabian
Arabian, Arabian, Arabian, Arabian
CA I’m a crazy Arabian
Arabian, Arabian, Arabian, Arabian

[Outro]
Looking back I wish I had known more about religion
And taken religion more seriously
To make me even a better person that I was then
I was never troublesome as far as I’m concerned
Except nobody in my household
And I talk about household that’s before I got married
When I was still in Christian religion
None of us were out of line really
No we had no problems in my family
So I can’t complain, my life on earth
I think I had a good time
Like I said I wish I had known more
I wish I had taken more time for religion
Because it’s answer lays in religion
How to go about your life
If you read even the Quran
There’s guidance, pure guidance for everybody who wants to accept it
