lyrics

Ya Awlad M7areb
Shiddoo Al2awaleb
I don’t call them fans
Nah ... That’s my 7abayeb (Loved Ones)

Pray for the departed
Long as Allah’s lauded
We gonna be alright
Let’s get this Sahra (Night Party) Started Now
Keep people applauding
We gonna be alright
Let’s get this Sahra Started Now

Ya Awlad M7areb ... Yo-Yo!
Shiddoo Al2awaleb ... Yo-Yo!
Ya Awlad M7areb ... Yo-Yo!
Shiddoo Al2awaleb ... Yo-Yo!
Ya Awlad M7areb ... Yo-Yo!
Shiddoo Al2awaleb ... Yo-Yo!
Ya Awlad M7areb ... Yo-Yo!
Shiddoo Al2awaleb ... Yo-Yo!

I’m in my zone
I’m in my light
I am not black
I am not white
My heart leans left
But always right
Stay poised
Make noise
Alright alright
Alright alright
Kil shee tamam
All light — all night
Tamam tamam tamam tamam
Shoo?

Shami Khayyo
Sha7atta Flow
(Sha7atta means Flip-Flop in Syrian colloquial Arabic)
Labis Maillot (Wearing a Swimsuit)
Allah 7ayyo
Allah 7ayyo
Yeah ya3ni eh La Ya3ni No
Lak shoe sabbat
Sha7atta flow

Pray for the departed
Long as Allah’s lauded
We gonna be alright
Let’s get this Sahra Started Now
Keep people applauding
We gonna be alright
Let’s get this Sahra Started Now

Ya Awlad M7areb ... Yo-Yo!
Shiddoo Al2awaleb ... Yo-Yo!
Ya Awlad M7areb ... Yo-Yo!
Shiddoo Al2awaleb ... Yo-Yo!
Ya Awlad M7areb ... Yo-Yo!
Shiddoo Al2awaleb ... Yo-Yo!
Ya Awlad M7areb ... Yo-Yo!
Shiddoo Al2awaleb ... Yo-Yo!

Sometimes I fly
Sometimes I float
If I’m bogged down
I don’t lose hope
Just keep on smiling
Keep on wildin
Cali vibes
That’s how we cope
Cope ... Cope ... Cope.
Palm trees & fresh Aleppo soap Soap ... Soap.
Tamam tamam tamam tamam
Shoo?

Shami Khayyo
Sha7atta Flow
Labis Maillot
Allah 7ayyo

Yeah ya3ni eh

Lak shoe sabbat
Sha7atta flow

Pray for the departed
Long as Allah’s lauded
We gonna be alright
Let’s get this Sahra Started Now
Keep people applauding
We gonna be alright

Not only that!
Soori not sorry Baby No need to worry Baby
