โWhen people anywhere hear the words โArab woman,โ they have one idea in their minds โ you can Google it and youโll see what that image is,โ she says with a laugh, although she is clearly not amused. โIโve never felt represented in that. Arab women are multifaceted, we come in variety, we come from different faiths, weโre a diverse group of human beings.
Way Out
Abir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I tell 'em what I got
'Cause I been up and down the city, doin' no lie
They ask me where I stay
I tell 'em "round the way"
And if they got a mission I can show 'em how I play
They ask me where I go
I tell them where I'm known
They ask me where my friends at
I tell 'em "round the way"
I been up and down the city, each and every way
'Cause I wanna
Go all night
Just wanna get right
Just wanna feel all right
I wanna go all night
Just wanna get right
Just wanna get get, get get
Bust it before I lose my crazy
They know they words not keep me faded
I got a way out if you stay in
I know the way out
Bust it before I lose my crazy
They know they words not keep me faded
I got a way out
I know the way out
They ask me who I trust
I tell 'em just enough
And when I get to kickin' I'ma show 'em all some love
They ask me if I pray
I tell 'em "every day"
And if I get a blessin', baby I know why it came
They ask me where I rep
I tell 'em "watch my steps"
And if they pay attention they can figure out the rest
They ask me where my friends at
I tell 'em "round the way"
I been up and down the city, each and every way
'Cause I wanna
Go all night
Just wanna get right
Just wanna feel all right
I wanna go all night
Just wanna get right
Just wanna get get, get get
Bust it before I lose my crazy
They know they words not keep me faded
I got a way out if you stay in
I know the way out
Bust it before I lose my crazy
They know they words not keep me faded
I got a way out
I know the way out
I just wanna go all night
Just go all night
Just go all night, yeah
I just wanna go all night
Just go all night
Just go
'Cause I wanna
Go all night
Just wanna get right
Just wanna feel all right
I wanna go all night
Just wanna get right
Just wanna get get, get get
Bust it before I lose my crazy
They know they words not keep me faded
I got a way out if you stay in
I know the way out
Bust it before I lose my crazy
They know they words not keep me faded
I got a way out
I know the way out
