Egypt 

I gotta sing for Egypt 

This one is going for Egypt 

Yeah, I…



I see the youths

With the scars on their faces

These are the scars of courage 

From the ancient places

I see my sisters

I see their eyes

Through the veils  

It’s been two weeks

And their kids have run out of milk



[Hook]

This is not the exodus 

Tell Pharaoh

Nobody is leaving

We ain’t leaving

It’s more like a genesis 

This is the beginning of freedom



[Chorus]

Cairo wants freedom

The youth want their freedom

They singing revolution 

And if the pyramids could talk they probably would say

نريد الحرية لمصر الآن

They want freedom 

Cairo wants freedom

Egypt wants freedom

I’m talking about freedom



I see my brothers

Using the rocks for their weapons 

They say the pharaoh must go 

They want a peaceful solution

Yeah, I



I see the camels in the desserts

But they don’t have no riders 

The people have taken over 

They are the survivors

Yeah I 

 

[Hook]

And this is not the exodus 

Tell pharaoh the people ain’t leaving

We ain’t leaving

It’s more like a genesis 

This is the beginning of freedom



[Chorus]

Cairo wants freedom

The youth want freedom

They say a time revolution 

And if the pyramids could talk they would probably say

نريد الحرية لمصر الآن

We want freedom 

Egypt wants freedom

The youth want their freedom

The people want freedom



And Allah has not forgotten you

For he is grateful

Yeah, I

And the Lord will never forget you 

He will grant you your freedom



I’m talking about freedom 

He gave Moses his freedom

He gave Jesus his freedom 

He gave Mohammed his freedom  

He gonna give Egypt its freedom



[Hook]

And this is not the exodus 

Tell pharaoh that the people ain’t leaving

We ain’t leaving

This is more like a genesis 

This is the beginning of freedom



[Chorus]

Cairo wants freedom

Egypt wants freedom

The people want freedom

I’m talking about freedom



Freedom

One love to Egypt
