Susamam [English translation]

As days go by in a rush

You've forgotten why you exist.

And you are unaware of the problems you've caused.

You want to laugh, you want to have fun.

You have no problem finding solutions to problems.

Life is tough as is.

That's why, you want music to entertain you,...

To whisk you away from reality.

But we believe that music can bring about change.

Come with us.

Shall we begin?

Fuat #Nature

At the time of Genghis Khan,

the price of washing your hands in a river was death

We migrated and decayed,

spewing trash, we've ended up fucking up our three seas

The unpredictable ruffian,

he breathes exhaust gas,

and he's now having a barbecue!

Forests on fire

Mother Nature weeping blood

Arrogance at an all time high!

Factory chimneys belch smoke

Nuclear reactors, hazardous waste

"Electro smoke" is always on the go

The biggest parasite is man,

just look at the planet!

Man isn't even as capable as animals

He changed things up, then couldn't adapt

The bill is for the next generation to pay

Doomsday's upon us, watch like an imbecile!

Ados #drought

Don't do it!

Don't toss cigarette butts in the sea

You can't take it back

There'll come a day when that trash-filled sea will be missed, but it won't be there!

Not long before we go barren like Africa

Children growing up without water

Because we destroyed our lakes,rivers,streams,EVERYTHING!

No mercy?

I can't believe it

We've taken it all for granted

Animals have their stomachs filled with plastic doesn't it break your heart?

Retweeting isn't enough

Something must be done

DO NOT POLLUTE THE WATER!

Let my land be serene like water

Don't inject no poison

into its veins!

Şanışer

COME, THERE WILL COME A DAY WHEN THESE GUILTY WORDS WILL BE IMPRISONED

DEFEATED I'LL DISAPPEAR THEY WON'T NOTICE

I WON'T STAY SILENT, I CAN'T STAY SILENT

DON'T BE AFRAID COME BY MY SIDE

COME, THERE WILL COME A DAY WHEN THESE GUILTY WORDS WILL BE IMPRISONED

DEFEATED I'LL DISAPPEAR THEY WON'T NOTICE

I WON'T STAY SILENT,

I CAN'T STAY SILENT

Şanışer #law

I am a "White Turk"

My laws are Anglo-Saxon but my mind is Middle-Eastern

I grew up apolitical, I never voted

I've cared about holidays, traveling and debts

Justice is dead, I stayed silent and participated until it was me

Now I'm too scared to send a tweet

I've come to fear my own country's police

Sorry to say, but this hopeless generation is your creation

The unhappy faction is your creation and this gunfire!

Innocent men rotting in jail without even knowing why

It's all you! This horrifying picture is your creation

this tired voice of mine

Idiot MPs, corrupt leeches, building their wealth

on the back of the poor, using their taxes It's all you!

You've never encountered death,

never once lost your breath

A coffee expert, always a cup in your hand

All you care about is your wannabe "Startup"

Now, the justice that was supposed to protect you will come knocking,

will break down your door!

You've acquitted child-killers just because they are cops

you didn't say a word, which means you're guilty!

Because you mourned for two days, and moved on

You forgot the name of the judge who released Tugce and Busra's killers!

If something happens to you, will you rely on the law?

If they falsely arrest you one night,

no single journalist can report it because

THEY'RE ALL LOCKED UP!

The lives taken by released killers (They won't come back!)

Wasted years in prison on a false charge (They won't come back!)

You stayed silent, You were overpowered because you were quiet

They took away your rights and they won't give them back voluntarily!

Hayki #justice

Justice is supposedly the pillar of a country

It's turned a deaf ear, won't listen to you

Traditions, morals, customs

If the one before was bad, tell me, is the incumbent any better?

Is this civilized?

We can't even afford what your dog won't eat

Your police can't pull out his gun and shoot whoever he wants in broad daylight!

Media, press, law, military they all work for you

Young boys are out there at the crack of dawn

putting their lives on the line

Hate is your weapon!

These aren't even our sins to pay for

Your plan is all nice!

I don't know who buys this

But I do know this

Our weapon are our words!

Server Uraz #law

(This Server Uraz)

I'm the voice of the lost generation

I can't be censored in a flawed picture

To get my team out of this grave I always slept with one eye open

Sticks, knives, they're all ineffective!

A sharp mind is my prime objective

As patience devoured my brain the ones who rained down on me, I set aflame!

All I did was make music!

The police took offense and took me in

I'm at another hearing while you go to your gig

Wearing the same old suit for the past ten years

The day someone tells me all is not for nothing

will be the day I'll give my heart and my soul

The judiciary comes and collects its dues

In hell I'm living, my body is burning

Beta #Turkey

Hello Turkey

I have an ID

We're trying to get by without getting in harm's way

The charlatan on TV, always a fanatic devotee!

Maliciousness is an epidemic,

continues to manipulate!

This is all a charade!

We're flying into turbulence!

Syria was our neighbor,

now are they our citizens? (fellow countrymen?)

Even the dead aren't at peace, we're cursed by them

"Hurriyet" was just a newspaper

You go be as free as you can be!

Tahribad-ı İsyan #İstanbul

Swallows us whole in a single bite

All-devouring Istanbul!

Chipping away at the best of times.

It's an elusive mystery!

Its streets are paved with gold.

You gave your hand, it grabbed your arm (get 'em!)

Transport, education, judiciary (help!)

The devil's spread his poison!

Money is a must or having contacts is a must

The big guys having your number is a must

Having an insider in Aksaray is a must

We never owned a yacht, a flat or a mansion

Our piggy banks were never full I wasn't born rich

You must have a purpose in the big city

You didn't produce anything, yet you burned down forests!

You've become an animal in the concrete jungle

You've got dark circles under your eyes again

Dinosaurs are in power

There's a role for everyone in this jungle

"Stay silent and you will be next"

"Bright minds are facing a dark future next!"

Sokrat St #education

I will graduate!

I'll give you cash, you give me a diploma

No money, I must work up a sweat

Equal opportunity in education is what I exploit as a college student

I graduated

I'm a drifter because of the system you created

I graduated

I'll be a cashier or I'll be your usher at the movies!

Universities everywhere but village schools are in dire need

Whatever ideology the higher-ups have is what is taught in class

Rich, poor separated

favored according to their money or backing

Education is an industry

the same as making illegal profit from construction!

One doesn't have money for books

A budding teacher who doesn't know "the right people"

You know an MP? Wow!

You'll never get me if that's how you roll!

At least help out a village school

Chaos everywhere

You should fight too!

The kid barely slept tonight

He will go to school

BUILD HIM A ROAD!

Ozbi #curiosity

Why this sky? These stars, these galaxies, the planets

Why? What makes this universe?

What makes the Earth?

Why me? Why you? Why us?

Ask! First of all, ask "why do I exist?"

"Where did I come from and why am I human?"

"How did I? How did we? How does everything?"

"How did we add meaning? How do we learn?"

"What does life favor? Who gets the grace?"

"Who gets to eat?"

To understand, to explain and comprehend?

Is it forbidden to understand?

Could be, but there isn't one answer! There are many, go seek them out!

Chase it, make sure to look for proof!

Feed your soul, keep looking for fuel!

Protect your heart and find a witness

Take a breath and pursue art!

Ask, ask about the atoms

Think of the speed of light and go get yourself wings

And then Fly!

Fly as high as you can!

Fly as high as you can fly!

Let yourself go!

Deniz Tekin #womensrights

I wouldn't know I've never had to defend myself

I wouldn't know, I've never had to worry about a child

I've never been forced to marry

There was no abuse in my home

In my own home I've never been imprisoned in my room

I've never been indoctrinated

I've never been displaced

I've never been burned with hatred

I was never burned to death

I never had siblings

I've never been afraid of my older brother

I've never been pulled out of school

I'VE NEVER BEEN MURDERED!

Yeis Sensura & Sehabe #violenceagainstwomen

You never lay your hands on a woman, you idiot!

You're a sorry excuse for a human being!

She deserves the best

SAY NO to violence against women!

Why are the males at the top of the pyramid? In traffic, at home or in public transportation?

The harassments never end

A slap on the wrist doesn't cut it

Are these moneybags your idea of a "MAN"?

Slapped her five times in Besiktas, nasty

Pockets full of money, heart worthless

Where's your head at? Are you even human?

Secondhand embarrassment! Are you even human?

Are you even human?

How do you even get to this point? How?

Aspova #Earth

I fall into the deep

Let this world spin like my head is spinning

As I lose my mind a dream

My breath, my inner voice

I fall into the deep

Let this world spin like my head is spinning

As I lose my mind a dream

My breath, my inner voice

I fall into the deep

Defkhan #foreignlands

They banged my head against a wall

They put out cigarettes on my skin instead of protecting me

They made me get up the smell of burnt skin and smoke

Bastinado, "motherfucker" is that the due process here?

According to which rule?

I'm ready for battle, there will be chaos

This is what is taught,

loving violence and fanning the flames

Germany is as cold as ice, let me tell you

Most of the youth are on Amphetamines, "Tilidine" or "Weed", "Cocaine" or "Speed", "Crack"

You might like it but it's not my cup of tea

Not my cup of tea!

Walk as you please! Step on a mine and die

And for what cost?

How much is it?

Stop rolling around like a wheel

Just be my friend

If you're talking, be honest!

Şanışer #animalrights

A bowl of water, is that too much to ask?

Have a conscience, damn it!

You don't want to understand but their lives are entrusted to you and me

Think for once!

You're living alone, outside, in the cold, in winter

Nobody speaks your language, danger everywhere always disaster, always calamity!

Whatever they do, it's never enough for you

It's about compassion, not money!

Abandoning them in the woods is not the answer!

They're not wolves, they can't survive on their own there

Protect them, they can't fight for their own rights

The shelters are full

The territory is harsh

Its sky is dark

The punishment is money for raping and torturing stray animals

"Major immorality requires major imbeciles"

Not all humans are guilty but

ALL ANIMALS ARE INNOCENT!

[Chorus: Şanışer]

COME, THERE WILL COME A DAY WHEN THESE GUILTY WORDS WILL BE IMPRISONED

DEFEATED I'LL DISAPPEAR THEY WON'T NOTICE

I WON'T STAY SILENT, I CAN'T STAY SILENT

DON'T BE AFRAID COME BY MY SIDE

COME, THERE WILL COME A DAY WHEN THESE GUILTY WORDS WILL BE IMPRISONED

DEFEATED I'LL DISAPPEAR THEY WON'T NOTICE

I WON'T STAY SILENT,

I CAN'T STAY SILENT

Sokrat ST #suicide

Don't go!

There's still a lot we can change in this life

Don't be stubborn!

We all gave up at some point in time

Now clench your fist

Put an end to your silence

Remember how strong you stood when you blew a fuse!

Hate inside, hate outside

Come!

Love life the most

I can't create a world for you but I will definitely hold your hand

Don't leave the world even if everyone leaves you

I'm not judging you

I will never fully understand your pain I know

If it's too heavy, I leave it behind

I walk down my own path

Please look at the mirror

Say "I love you"

Aga B #fascism

Ey! What is fascism?

To put it roughly, we will be deceived

All of us, together

All you know is "you"

Many accidents caused by overambition

This ambition is an everlasting emotion

Snap at your wife at home

Crisis on the street

shh! Kick a dog,

not the purebred, but the mutt,

brainless! Ey!

A thief who steals from himself

Fear the police, ey!

The "System" wants you to be

A NOBODY A RAW

AND SHALLOW INDIVIDUAL

Know what is what and know us

We're the generation that looks dirty but has clean hands

You are the seat of the bike

while we are the wheels and the handlebars

Ey! Naturally, we want a generation like ours

Ey! This is our main goal, respect is all

Grandchild, be a mirror!

Anxiety galore but this

is our road

Drown or be born

So many wrongs, as many rights

So be it, grandchild respect is all!

Mirac #street

I can't look you in the eyes, my face falls

Barefoot but dreams in their eyes

Timid but he still puts in the work

He's spent

Look! Every day is an exile!

He can't escape, bullies chase him

They look for a helping hand

Burn the big shot's money

and go knock that fucking ego out

Don't name streets after ministers,

but after the poor and the orphans

Don't interfere with the street vendors,

send the officers to the skyscrapers

Mert Şenel

I'm a branch broken off by the storm

Been around a lot and fraying

So much goes on inside me there are no words if I tried to explain

Sometimes I'm the story of a homeless child

I'm a branch broken off by the storm

Been around a lot and fraying

So much goes on inside me there are no words if I tried to explain

Sometimes I'm the story of a homeless child

Kamufle #Traffic

A death trap, highways are death traps

365 days at risk

Countless ruffians with no conscience

Pay hush money

A car accident overshadow the holidays

Broken hearts, so much pain

A requiem rings in their ears,

the wound never heals

Alcohol, violence, and speed cause terror

Kids driving expensive sports cars have no fear

Safety first, leniency next

Patience, peace, man needs these

The smallest of mistakes can ruin everything believe me, there's no return!
