It all started… way back in 89-90 when I had to leave the valley
and you called me refugee
enough is enough, I ain’t taking wht u callin me
i am warning you SOB, your actions are appallin me
you call me refugee, get knuckle sandwiches free
call me DISPLACED if u want coz I left, did not flee
if you really hate urself, you can call wht u callin me !!!
I’ll back in my hood and the world will be followin me!!
---- I was thrown out of home, in the middle of
a cold night had no idea where I am headed, just wanted
to save my life I got on a small truck and off to Jammu city
alienation, garma kahar, it was baking hot n sweaty (extremely hot)
storms destroying my tent and rains hiding my tears
govt left me unnoticed, I was fighting the raging flares
I could see my daddy cry, my mommy suffer the pain
waii Bagwana mai kya chu khata, don't know who else to blame? (oh God, what's my guilt)
DON'T CALL ME REFUGEE, DON'T CALL ME REFUGEE i haTE em people who call me refugee
won't wear tHE id, of REFUGEE FIGHT FOR my HOMELAND, I am KP....
-- My rendezvous with summers, thought I m gonna
be dead today some couldn’t take the heat, I survived
to die everyday dohay, dohay marna khot behtar chu ba marha
aki doh (better die now than die everyday) yehay chi wanan sari KP coz we feel so low
(that's what KPs say)
after ages of struggle, my patience was put to new test
I was given a 1 room mansion, no bigger than bird nest,
I lost the vanities, of the world in 90s, ow I m losing dignity
begging for basic necessities
I grew-up playing … with dust and hardships
its Hard to imagine.. how i survived all these years
I’ve become like a heaven for heart attacks , diabetes
No sex life, frustration, I’ll die of bronchitis
Everything about Kashmir is so nostalgic I m studying in exile, majoring in hardships
Kashmir is in my blood, you see… I’ll stand-up on my feet
fight for Koshur pride…. ...till eternity
DON'T CALL ME REFUGEE, DON'T CALL ME REFUGEE i haTE em people who call me refugee
won't wear tHE id, of REFUGEE FIGHT FOR my HOMELAND, I am KP....
=================
Sacrifices made by our parents won't be forgotten had they not educated me, I wd've hit rock-bottom.
education WAS LIKE A REVOLUTION IN THE KP household
If I don't study hard, my mom will deffo scold
My utmost respect to my teachers, a tale untold they've got the magic wand to turn worthless
to gold I had to go to school, 50 hot, -5 cold
That is how our teachers mold worthless to gold
pariv, pariv, nat mosh rachiv (study or raise buffaloes )
yet chun zameen, yeti kya kariv? (no land, wt'll u do)
failure and death ARE relative study hard if you wanna live
pariv ti naav roshan kariv (study and make me proud)
no TIME FOR PLAY SIRF PARIV AGAR NA PARIV, TEL MARIV (if you don't study,
you'll die) DAII NAAV SARIV TI PARIV (pray and study)
Mom won’t sleep and dad worked till his bones ached
Its something that nobody in the world can ever fake
ITS only them WHO know what they've been through I can only thank them, FOR THINGS THEY do…
DON'T CALL ME REFUGEE, DON'T CALL ME REFUGEE i haTE em people who call me refugee
won't wear tHE id, of REFUGEE FIGHT FOR my HOMELAND, I am KP....
=============================
Disease attack MY culture died furstration creeped in and snake bites
I got no gun, RHAPSODY to fight homeless KPs, the woeful plight,
WHAT TO DO, commit suicide murky skIES, DARK NIGHTs
FIGHT for my right TILL SKIES ARE BLUE
And DAYS are BRIGHT....
But now I think its pay back time, I gotta get back home
ye Heirath karho panni ghari, bus yehay tamanna chhuM (we'll celebrate Shivratri in Kashmir)
My Dad and I'll work in the fields and Mom COOK IN THE CHOOK(kitchen)
Taathi beh..hey dubbi pyeth, ti cheyhey tamook (grandfather would sit on the balcony and
smoke tobacco)
Police may kill ME,,,,,,, and MY bones may break
I’ll continue to fight, IF THEY GIVE MY BODY ACHE
i want my homeland, I’ll do whatever it takes
this is youth rebellion, don’t call it fake
our valuable koshur culture and pride is at stake
wouldn’t you come forward help me go home Today
I M NOT REFUGEES I M not here to stay I’ll waarkaar live MY liFE in MY homeland
MY way.(God willing)
DON'T CALL ME REFUGEE, DON'T CALL ME REFUGEE i haTE em people who call me refugee
