The title track to the album ... Sinsyrianly yours - Omar Offendum.

lyrics

Chorus:

SyrianamericanA is where i wanna be
There im honored
3iiish Nirvana - Peace & Harmony

Verse 1:

مشولي اموري 
حضوري ضروري
مجبور وفخور بجذوري
سوري 'لك شوو؟'
خربولي دستوري 
ومحولي عروبة عصوري
دوري دوري 
يا أسطوانة أيام وشهور
يللي بتمر مرور 
للي بيقدر يطول 
هذا السور - قد ما علي 
والسعر - قد ما غلي 
ما باع له حصته
تراثه وقصته
فستق حلبي
أدب عربي 
غلبي؟
النهي عن السلب
إجابةً على إرادة نبي خالق الأرض
بالفعل الماضي، المضارع، والأمر 
إشتعل، يشتعل، وشعل الجمر 
أفكاري كالنهر 
والنبع من مخي
بردى وزمزم 
قنبلة - طخي
طخي راسك
إنت فايت بيت أفندم
عائلة الشققي
أسرةً من طين ومن دم 
شوو أساسك؟
ليك بتضلك هيك حتندم ...
هيك حتندم ...
وتبكي - تبكي 
عمر أفندم 

Chorus:

SyrianamericanA is where i wanna be
There I'm promised land & solace
Peace & Harmony
SyrianamericanA is where i wanna be
There I'm gonna 3ish (Live)
3ish Harmony
With no one but me & my family

Verse 2:

its that "home"
so nostalgic that poem
known to sound (home)sick
that phone click-clack tone
lift that bone - give it back to him
look what that do 'em
just a little hope
knots on a rope
bigger black tomb
take 'em back through them
paperback tunes
bombs in the sky
make Iraq bloom
ironic isnt it?
how a modern Babylon
was responsible for the
current problems
in the Fertile Crescent
what a dilemma
when they murder peasants
and they find men will
never learn their lesson
its a fine line 'tween a smith n wessun
hindsight 20/20 - keep em guessin
get your mind right - aint no half-steppin
this is hip-hop - what a blessin

Chorus:

SyrianamericanA is where i wanna be
There I'm promised land & solace
Peace & Harmony
SyrianamericanA is where i wanna be
There I'm gonna 3ish (Live)
3ish Harmony
With no one but me & my family
