Kashgar Early Han dynasty
A quintessential caravan city Up until the late Qin dynasty
Glory days and hey days in the Tang dynasty
Oh you've never heard of Kashgar? China's trade superstars
Found right next to Tajik Silk and fine jewelry
Uh, Aksu-Kashgar Route Tarim Basin
Located on the Silk Road Everyone's so Asian
But in this trade city There's so much diversity
Uighurs, Tajiks And the Han Chinese
So talking about Kashgar Let's talk about religion
They got Mahayana Buddhism Dhantin here's a pigeon
And the pigeons that killed that one guy What was his name?
Doesn't matter Chang-Lung's the one in the game
But there's somebody else We gotta talk about
Mao Zedong's statue I'm sure you've seen it around
Go back to the sixth century And you'll find my Yeda huns
They controlled part of Kashgar With the Hephthalite Huns
But even after that It was often attacked
But that's all because Kashgar brought much cash
Oh you've never heard of Kashgar China's trade superstars
Found right next to Tajik Silk and fine jewelry
Yeah, and here's another piece of info Don't mess with Tibet
They beat the Chinese army fosho
But there's no such thing as a beat China
That's just a fairy tale Tang's propaganda
Everything they did Kashgar did it good
That is clearly shown during the Tang brotherhood
That was the good time To come and live in Kashgar
From six-eighteen to nine-oh seven Long live Kashgar
It had heydays in the past 'Course Tang was not all, Nein
From three eighty-six, until Five eighty-nine
How did Kashgar grow? Well I guess there are some factors
But primarily location Not unpaid child labors
Listen up now Class has started
Teacher's in the house This ain't for the faint-hearted
Kashgar's products, this ain't for my profit So let's get into it (Let's do it)
5,4,3,2,1 First up is dried fruits Then medicinal herbs thats important
And if you got them furs Leave for Baghdad and bag that
What about a silk carpet Copper teapots and boxes
All sold at them Sunday bazaars that's not toxic
Trade
Kashgar, say bazaar You know that we're better than Myanmar
We're stars We set the bar
What else rhymes with Kashgar Here's a guitar
So now you've heard of Kashgar Hope you've learned something new
That's the end of this song 'Bout to go get me some dew
I've run out of ideas Mrs. Schmidt, Schmidt So here's a picture of Mrs. Schmidt, Schmidt
Just make sure to remember all this And scream Kashgar to the sky
