Freedom Fighter ft. R.P.G. Red Purple Gold Lyrics

Can you tell me all of the people in your family tree,

I can't answer, when I was born no one was claiming me,

I must have known my fight for freedom was all I could see,

I completed all my goals and I created R.P.G.,

I never had a single chance to take a single step,

I can't believe I grew these wings, and into the sky I have lept,

The ground is what I started, on the floor I have crept,

I got the chance to fly, and under the rug I was never swept.

My dad's a freedom fighter, my mom - a refugee

Repatriation they called it, what a bunch of naker ghee

After genocide and rape, no diplomatic relations

Abandoned her home, where she never returned to roam

She no longer spoke freely, in Urdu her mother tongue

Taken away from all she loved, to Bangladesh she was flung

Did she win? Is she free? To just be? Are we?

Secular? Gonoprojatontri? With full autonomy?

Not all wars are fought with guns

Some wars they are invisible,

We fight them every day,

Life is not easy, it is hard in every way….

My parents won each other outside Curzon Hall

Then they created me in exile in West Bengal

I was born without my dad, political repercussion

Ammu struggled bad, premer ki chorom obsession

She chilo ek bhora poush BSF dupur

Abbu came to the border handed off a silver nupur

With that I set off in modern Bangladesh

Jekhane nai deshbhaag, nai badha, nai shesh.

I was chosen and then I took a flight around the globe,

My parents gave me all of the pavement I needed for my road,

They had every single answer, it's like they cracked the code,

I mixed my talent and my passion then I broke the mold,

Without all of their love, I never had the chance to win,

You create your own success, it's not all about where you begin,

You know that I will never be blown away by the wind,

Anything less than the top you know it would be a sin.

Not all wars are fought with guns,

Some wars they are invisible,

We fight them every day,

Life is not easy, it is hard in every way….

Not all wars are fought with guns, you storm the beach in your own head,

Numb your life, escape our brains, and our lies we think we've shed,

And you know that they can poison your life just like lead,

And all that I want is soft skin wrapped around me in my bed,

Life can be hard but I hope that it is not every day,

Just take your life and mold it like it was out of clay,

You know that I am a rare breed, I will never be a stray,

I'll take a stroll to reach the top, you know up is the only way.

Jeebon judhhe bonduk lage na, my names not Phoolan

I'm still a debi, muktijodhhar shontan

Pai na bhrata, na respect, na recognition

Ashepashe shob jotoshob bokhate fuckboy shoytan

I cut them off these dangerous fakes

I'm a killer but I'll love you as long as it takes

That nupur is my armor, This is my dna, my family tree,

I'm a beyadob shilpi, I was born ready to be free.

Not all wars are fought with guns,

Some wars they are invisible,

We fight them every day,

Life is not easy, it is hard in every way…
