about

"Taafeh Aaref is an introduction to a collection of music detailing feelings I've had my entire life, feelings born out of being told your home is non existent, your people are disposable and that you could never truly fit in anywhere by default.

The duality of being brought up and raised in a country completely on the opposite side of the cultural spectrum to my origins made certain things tough to manage, but we learn, grow and adapt to wherever we may be.
for the displaced diaspora ❤"

lyrics

miss my bus and stress,
while my cousins go thru trenches just to make a cheque.
pathetic I confess,
dare I ever say that I'm depressed.
back and forth I lay in sweat,
survival guilt got me in check,
tho I didnt have much to survive,
overseas, miles and miles.

safe away from the sirens
gunshots, fly-ins,
darkness looms yet the folk still smiling.
I took it all for granted,
all these chances,
lazy mindset, coulda lost it.

block my blessings,
lack intention.
procrastinate with a couple spliffs on the dresser.
all this tension,
over nothing,
stop the bitchin,
I need to quit it.

bin-khalti spent nineteen years locked away,
he only got out the other day,
put him on our shoulders,
and carry him in grace.
need something to put me in my place,
complain without a reason every day,
count my blessings before it's too late.
