THE EGYPTIAN

[Intro: Ethnique Punch]
The Egyptian… girl
Drunk Owl¹ (Drunk Owl)
West, West!
East, East!

[Verse: Ethnique Punch]
To the west, to the east, the bedouin runs adrift
The rogue wreaks havoc, it costs dearly
The underground belongs to the serpents at night, the king goes deaf
The pyramid turns into a barn as well if the pharoah is a swine
Take it easy, have a look around first
Keep silent when you see the stick, like a statue
As one man, remember, if anyone falls behind,
The forbidden place gets pillaged at an inopportune time
The guest doesn't need permission to find what he wants
Blood is one for the road inside the body of such bandit
What's good for a scabbed scar is not a musky medicine but the gunpowder in the shell
The likes of us don't give way, not even an inch
The cool fountain is a mirage, awakening is deep
Hook in hand, I'll go and fish the elephant in the river bed,
Light the pure film and dry the Nile with its smoke
Lyric! Piss in a jug!
As pale as if its served up on a platter
If the mission is to do a one-eighty, to sing praises,
And get buried in the loot, then fuck the mission!
If the rodent gets stabbed in the back and vanishes into thin air
The victim is of flesh-and-blood and the blade, of rusty iron
When the suspect asks a request of the mournful doctor
To the surprise of the crowd, a manifest from the sorrowful tongue
In the silence, the opposite of it echoes
These cries of the rest polish the auction
That fancy attire only drives up the price
Take it off along with the loot you're worth and wash it off with acid
Count your days, old man
Even the most enchanting painting is dull
Stoke it up so that the cold pours onto the tray
Easy in theory, it petrifies you in practice
The majority always go their own way
Either become a ghost or find a remote windmill
Don't shy away when you lose it, bite back!
The asshole is waiting in fear for you to run amok anyway,
To turn a blind eye and head back,
To go into hiding and gnaw away at your confidence
I want to ungracefully split the ground from the bottom up
The active always affects the passive here
Lyric! Cable car for those going up!
The current hitting the bottom, electric
Critique between the two triggers
If the task is to pull it, then fuck its master!
I've always gave my best
The drifter is what he says
Suppose it starts from the soil up, from the knee-high crops
The things in my mind build another wall here from Beijing
I'll strive and build the wall in a million-or-so steps
Sometimes one night with a maid swimming in the Nile worths it all
What gets every job done is the coin and the word
Ali Eksan², as-salamu alaikum walaikum salam

Ahh, thank you…
