Tamara Abdul Hadi’s “Picture an Arab Man” was showcased at Arab Winter. The body of work is still in progress, as Abdul Hadi is currently looking to complete the project by photographing young men from every Arab country and turning this amazing project into a book. Help her reach her goals and support independent art by contributing to the crowd-funding campaign on emphas.is!

Episode 3 of the Arab Winter Documentary

As the Arab Winter season approaches, the crew is reaching new heights of anxiety and exhaustion. Sundus Abdul Hadi is multi-tasking to complete her family’s show, Karim Jab is behind bars finishing up touches on his section, and El Seed and Narcy are procrastinating, worried about the overall shows look and feel. With their beards reaching epic proportions, watch them as they fall apart, lose things, and find their path.

Chorus:
In the light of day you are more than just a knight
seeking for a right of way asking is it just to fight..
I feel the winds of change, but everything is still the same
Even Though I fear the sun, I can only see the reign…(x2)

Verse:
Won’t need no magic carpets,
genies Aladdin sparking
he, me, Bags of the darkest
nights in the fat of august..
lights from the flash of knowledge,
gave all my cash to college,
They pay me no dime if you pay me no mind,

Don’t play me your rhymes or slay me no swine
homie just back up off us!
wrap it up… we packing up and we’ll be back in the morning…
What is your revolution? going in circles daily?
Step out your virtual office, why we work to get lazy?…

Having motherless babies… they lift curtains up off us…
that’s why we use our spotlights in the search for their coffins
Love,
From Jail Bird Fathers
turned us to Doves, that Hail All Maytyrs….

Chorus:
In the light of day you are more than just a knight
seeking for a right of way asking is it just to fight..
I feel the winds of change, but everything is still the same
Even Though I fear the sun, I can only see the reign…(x2)

Verse 2:

More Power to the People
Point out your brothers evils.
Give your sister a hand, although she doesn’t need you…
See Your Flaws when you wake up, they are nothing to sleep through…
and all the money in the world might keep you warm and feed you..

Before the greed will eat you…Do you believe we’re equal?
Or just a plus or minus, they either want or need you.
Society cerebral..Spiritual Cemetary….
Where we’ve buried our feelings for people we visit rarely,

The Television told me the we’re living in scary times,
We were blind, I could see it clearly..
I wouldn’t speak so you could hear me on the beat..
Heard they fear me if i was beardy…
As long as the fashion can match the passion, then you’ll listen really…

If nothing is certain…assertively it serves a purpose
We are on the verge of chaos and everything is perfect.
Blow my clouds in cursive…searching around an earth
Deserted but proud and worth of all these soundless words…
May i ask you …

Chorus:
In the light of day you are more than just a knight
seeking for a right of way asking is it just to fight..
I feel the winds of change, but everything is still the same
Even Though I fear the sun, I can only see the reign…(x2)

Bridge:

Can, i hitch a ride, come…. let us fly over the egypt
and find, peace in our mind…denying our demons.
my light will you be right, there by my side when I see this…
and can I kiss your eyes, so we can fly over Egypt…

Chorus:
In the light of day you are more than just a knight
seeking for a right of way asking is it just to fight..
I feel the winds of change, but everything is still the same
Even Though I fear the sun, I can only see the reign…(X2)

I had a dream a couple of months ago that I was flying over Egypt. I walked around for days with that feeling of being free, wind holding me up above earth. A week later, I got a beat in my inbox from my brother Bei-Ru entitled ‘Flying Into…
