They want oil for Food, give em Food for thought
They wanna play in the Kingdom of God
So let me take them to the Kingdom of God
- My body on a, bench in Barcelona's, Passeo Picasso
Cuz this my Blue Period, my mind travels to Damascus corners,
Tagging walls in Bab touma, manifesto for a New Syria
...this is my Magnum Opus
- Shahrazad's gift of gab that kept the Sultan's focus,
A thousand one nights, awake outside my country's borders,
Insomnia, fuck it i will not consult my conscience,
My guilt is not important, anyways I can't afford it,
- My homie told me get out of your comfort zone,
I took it as a metaphor for me to go back home,
For what? to go to war? for who? these over lords,
Fuck you! I'll drink this sorrow off and down this molotov,
- Cock tail, hot damn, that's hot, fresh out the press,
I got mail, last month, inbox filled up with texts,
"The old milk shake, store that we use to chill with our friends, the one in
Sha3lan, just got bombed inshallah we won't be next,"
- Lords of the ring of fire, for them to stand by us
Soldiers need to be bias, follow leaders who pretend to be pious,
Whatever options we've chosen there's always denial
Muddy waters, we all taking a dive,
- Tryna make it out alive soldiers fleeing the war
Teachers turn into warriors
Children turn into teachers, experience becomes their tutorial
The war zone their emporium they visit
- Everyday exploring their limits, while mothers sleepless
When her sons mourning comes, i give a shit who is victorious
Break down this opium, then brand my dopeness,
... This is my Magnum Opus

- What's a Magnet Opis? What's a Magnet Opis?
It's Magnum Opus. It Means Great Work.
What's a Magnet Opis? What's a Magnet Opis?
I'm afraid their not gonna make it back
- What's a Magnet Opis? What's a Magnet Opis?
It's Magnum Opus. It Means Great Work.
What's a Magnet Opis? What's a Magnet Opis?
What? You Can't Die
- Give 'em death and shock 'em back to life, all clear/
Jean Paul Gaultier, could bottle up this cold air/
Modern day Voltaire trapped inside this volt here,
Holding Edward Snowdens folders chilling on arm chair/
- Rocking back and forth, waiting for the chauffeur/
I'll go to war, but please take me to the show first/
They tell you no, u pass eighteen, we need your grow spurt/
Here's a jacket, here's your boots, hold this heat cuz its a cold world/
- Mira, chico and chic, ask Condalisa,
Why these Embassies don't give me no visa,
Look, I'm educated and my mother's Filipina,
But your passport says Syria, so you don't fit our criteria
- Vale, ma3le, i'll take 'em to the valley,
Bekaa and that's exactly the opposite of Cali,
Hasheesh inside these baggies, i stash 'em inside my pants
No baggy, these pants are saggie cuz i smuggle through Sirwali,
- Libnani and Afghani, rolled up with a Shami, you
Can say that joint is the bomb, but it's funded by Rouhani,
Assad got the Iranis, and Baghdadi got the Saudis
But me i got this passport and nobody wanna stamp me
- The one's who stay say in God they trust
The one's who run become blasphemous
Take their stories and become ambassadors
...it's the Ballad of an Exodus
(Hook)
