Buddha Complex - Through Windows
Each verse is a different person speaking...
Do you like peanut butter?!
YES?!
Then you'll truly love Buddha Complex's delicious grooves!
APF doesn't exist anymore. It's just Buddha Complex and maybe some other heads if they got they act write.
Story behind the song
My angle of perspective isn't 360 but I try.
Lyrics
Intro/
Through ya window, what do you see?
Verse 1/
I watch moments when explosions light the night like fireflies
Watchin all the soldiers everyone admires die
it's kinda like the type of life that inspires rhyme
March of the wooden martyrs die collidin with dynamite
I grew with arabics and hispanics as an asian
Amazin, its these patriots that make me feel like an alien
Understand that my life, I share it in rap
Watchin cats surrender rights wavin American flags
Instead of white ones, I come from where we write up
Cats battle me but actually like the stuff if its tight enough
I'm stuck between the political and personal
Cats in NY graff and do spreads with red alerts
It's kinda humorous, the tumors is a euphanism
to the future when we move some kids into a doomed existence
It attacks like cancer, it has my eyes damper
But what the hell do I know, I'm jus a rapper, right?
verse 2/
My brother died sometime ago, I watched the guy explode
from my home, watchin people engulfed in a fireball
Intertwined with twisted wreckage, it's a sadistic message
My own president hit back with ballistic weapons
Live from Israel where public transportation
bein a life or death risk isn't a damn allegation
Acts of braveness is engraved in each step, each breath
Where Life doesn't really keep death a secret
The United States and their roadmap to peace
Clashes with the abrasive fashion of reality
My family suffered a casualty, we can't casually let that
get away so there will be death to pay!
I don't care if it escalates, death invades every crevice
and crack in the cement so put it on record
Death to every fuckin Palestinian that crosses me
I'll kill you! I'll kill you for what you did to me!
Verse 3/
I live in the enclosed state of Palestine
watchin the same Israelis and United States that mastered lies
How would you like it growin with soldiers makin
a perimeter with intention of kill ya in ya neighborhood
Never that! I have a son, I wanna watch him grow
But I don't want him to see blood outside that window
So strapped with a bomb, hopin fam and my mom
hopin they got the note I wrote with a hand that was calm
Climbed onto a bus, saw faces of mothers and babies
Hopin I could make some changes when I erase them
Shit was the strangest, as I heard the timer tickin
I kept sayin they were the enemy and this was my mission
I looked out and saw a kid watchin from his apartment
Smilin at the person adjacent to this martyr
They waved at each other, made eye contact thru the window
My past echoed in my soul as the bus explodes
(fuck did I do?)
