Maktub


Il titolo della canzone, come ha spiegato uno dei suoi co-autori, il giornalista culturale Sama’an Ashrawi, “Maktub”—scritto in arabo come مكتوب— è "un tipo di destino per il quale devi lavorare, un cammino attraverso il cosmo con un lieto fine solo se rimani sulla giusta via."

Trovo che sia una canzone bellissima che giustamente è stata accostata a capolavori come Get Up, Stand Up o Move On Up di Curtis Mayfield.
Uh, they comin' through
Uh, they gunnin' for you
Uh, we know the truth
Uh, so we makin' moves
Uh, while they beatin' the block
Uh, we goin' straight to the top

So we gotta move in the same direction
(Move) Yeah
(Move) We gotta move
(Move) Yeah
Time for a new revolution
(Move) Yeah
(Move) We gotta move
(Move) Yeah

You can't stop the message
Life's for sale, pay attention
This just is so suspicious
Don't wanna be another victim

So wе gotta move in the same dirеction
(Move) Yeah
(Move) We gotta move
(Move) Yeah
Time for a new revolution
(Move) Yeah
(Move) We gotta move
(Move) Yeah

Huh, it's time to deal with this trauma
Turn trauma in together, rewrite the mission statement
Regardless who's doin' the shootin'
We gotta stop doin' ourselves on the pavement
And if we don't get it ourselves
Then we can't be mad when we don't receive the paper
We've come too far for ouselves to look back and say that's the way it went
That's just the way it went (Huh)
That's just the way it went (Huh)
That's just the way it went (Huh)
That's just the way it went

(Just tell em' we comin')
(Just tell em' we comin')
Uh, they comin' through
Uh, they gunnin' for you
Uh, we know the truth
Uh, so we makin' moves
Uh, while they beatin' the block
Uh, we goin' straight to the top

So we gotta move in the same direction
(Move) Yeah
(Move) We gotta move
(Move) Yeah
Time for a new revolution
(Move) Yeah

We gotta move, yeah
We gotta move, yeah
We gotta move, yeah
We gotta move, yeah
We gotta move, yeah
We gotta move, yeah
We gotta move, yeah
We gotta move
