- about
- LEBANON DON is the 1st full length project by Big A following the release of the Conscious Gangsta LP. This is a tour CD that could easily be regarded as one of the most prolific and solid music releases Hip hop has ever witnessed. The production is by Zhao-Ski, Jaye Burrough, DJ Lethal Skillz, Ro Spit, 5iLL and Mr Sloap. The features are some of the biggest names in the Arab Hip hop world and a few of Detroit's finest MCs. Big A explores new heights in lyricism while telling his story in both Arabic and English. Music with a Purpose is what you get here.

Da greatest mistake I made, when I made my goal
To be da number da 1 MC lace da flow
Number 1 till I'm done and my age is old
Top 5 drop lines on a paper note
started laying low which way go?
Path I chose da truth dat U came to know
To Da all mighty, dats where my Praises Go
da deadline next week seven days ago
To Da all mighty, dats where my Praises Go
da deadline next week seven days ago
Da greatest mistake I made, when I made my goal
To overthrow whoeva da king and take control
Gangsta code scripted on my naked soul
snachin ice cream cones at da age of 4
Realized Real power lays in Faith fosho
Now I -stay composed in da face of foes
To Da all mighty, dats where my Praises Go
da deadline next week seven days ago
To Da all mighty, dats where my Praises Go
da deadline next week seven days ago
got a lot of things I got to do
but God Willing Im comin back to you
got a lot of things I got to do
but insha'Allah Im comin back to you (MOS DEF SAMPLE)
Livin by Da Code of streets Concrete Jungle
One day it'll all turn around and hunt you
Decisions dat I make , I really can't undo
Keep God on my mind, that's who I run to
Stressin out da time limit as da clock tickin
So many albums wanna drop still not written
Never put a song out dat I'm not feelin
These days I'm on da run YO I'm not sittin
Before I came up wid da Lebanon Don lyrics
had to c da world wid da 3rd eye vision
Every plan I make gotta say God Willin
Cause whatever I make happen is God Given
Every plan I make gotta say God Willin
Cause whatever I make happen is God Given
Stressin out da time limit as da clock tickin
So many stages I wanna touch with my spirit
Places da devil show up in a hot image
Temptation fly women n scotch sippin
From a place: u made mistakes n got silly
U Die wishin u got shot with a 9 milli
Every plan I make gotta say God Willin
Cause whatever I make happen is God Given
Every plan I make gotta say God Willin
Cause whatever I make happen is God Given
got a lot of things I got to do
but God Willing Im comin back to you
got a lot of things I got to do
but insha'Allah Im comin back to you (MOS DEF SAMPLE)
Livin by Da Code of streets Concrete Jungle
One day it'll all turn around and hunt you

v1
whats my biggest purpose in this earth?
before knowing words to spit this verse, had to learn English 1st
my mother: made me, raised me
back in the 80's , gave me
confidence, i can sense
gift- of- gab- trapped- in- my- genes
livin in a conflict zone, resistin da occupation rockets and stones
u got it Good if u only got shot in the dome, watchin ya own
village- blast?- happened- to- me!-
airplane to Detroit to follow the
twisted- path- after- my- dream-
my homie Zhao-ski told me to paint the
pictures- that- was- banned- from- the- screen-
did it now my
signature- raps- capture- the- scene-
then i got married to the beats
figured- that- was- half- of- my- deen-
and that made it all complete like
Bismilah Alrahman Alraheem!
BREAK: interview with my homie from Al Ameer Bakery
v2
On these wicked streets, livin seems like a luxury
rasin little ones tellin'em better watch yo company
its another beat , nother rhyme, write new songs
we be clingin to da summertime but life moves on
you can bet i be spendin my little time left
believin that other than me, nothin is a bomb threat
my steps: take em without no hesitation
progress, and still representin where i came from
age 11 had a cannon pointed at me point-blanc range
you dont really know me if you think ya Boy got fazed!
Thats how your boy got raised!!
imagine the kind of interaction u havin
the enemy in any minute bombin blastin
missles wont miss u drivin then u crashin
would it really matter if ur seatbelt fastened??
seatbelt off , thats a Lebanese fashioN! - Track Name: recrUited

recrUited?
v 1
U get recruited by da US Army?
Trainin way better than da average soldier?
U get recruited by da US Army aka
post traumatic disorder
Life long flashbacks emotional breakdown
came home from Baghdad night time U lay down:
tryin to fall asleep all u can c when u close ya eyes
roadside blast horribly
Blowin 'em arms off da blood make a red sky
Legs & eyes gone with da encore
Battlefield horror U cry today one of ur crew die
& another? Dat ll be tomorrow
Dear daughter, for u I got high hopes
readin what pops wrote in a suicide note
She say Daddy left to ovathrow
ovaseas now he dead with a ovadose
v 2
Obama dont care about black people either
US leaders got u believin we Evil Creatures-
Gaza, Iraq Throw da rock up aGainst Israelies,
Barak and Mobarak
-U gettin confused? Yeah its gettin scary..
feelin like Malcolm little at a state prison
- lookin up black and white in da dictionary
Only to find out he been livin very--
ignorant stupid like em 18 year olds at a high school
gettin recruited-
they tell em no matter da destination
they get da best vacations & Education
so they thinkin: --I made it dis is amazin-- ,
then get liquidated by Resistance they facin
...uninvited u came in devided invaded ,
da life of da natives decided to take it. - Track Name: PARTY in the GHETTO

تعا لالك هالبلد لإلنا ما حدا منا آدر يعيش علمظاهر ولا بتهمنا
لعمى مفهمنا سيارة بيك ما عنا منا طبخة بتطعمي عيلي أكلا وبلاعا كلا
شافنا آعدين جوعانين ما استحى منا
ولما لملعة وقعت عالارض آما ومسحا بتمنا بلا متزعل أنا عم الك حتى ماتندم
معترين بس مش مبسوطين؟ مبالا لحمدلا
تعا لعنا عاملين حفلة مسا هالاربعا وإنت أول واحد معزوم لا ما تنسى
هلموسيقة دوا لئلنا دعمتنا من أول مخلقنا وسوى حنبقى
ستوعبت لفكرة؟ أو لهلأ مافهمتا؟؟
مع إنك زكي كتير لمي السخني خترعتا إنت!
قطعتلا نفسا لأمك عمتدعيلك ليل ونهار قلبا عإبنا
وقلب إبنا على... بلا م الك

So it’s New Year’s Eve got my glass filled
bottle of champagne chilled
lookin at the crowd around me bubblin like they all thrilled
DJ’s looking real skilled
Mek we hit the dancefloor and forget about reality like
all dem little youth killed
All dressed up got plenty dollar bill in me pocket
Dem fireworks a-blastin me eyes out their socket
But I know some people get a different kind of rocket
I feel my mind drifting south
I get a bitter taste in my mouth
And as the celebration round me increases
I know my old block gets smashed into pieces
As the sky lights up from bonfiring
I know some people be running from gunfiring
Them be looking for cover until the enemy’s done firing
Not every blast be non-violent
Said it’s New Year’s Eve
Don’t know how we could be so naïve
Raise the glass and cheer as we toast to the new year
While them a lie and deceive
I said it’s New Year’s Eve
And I don’t know what to believe
Scheming and plotting in Washington and Tel Aviv
Murderous plans that cause my people to grieve
I said its new years eve - I need to show I D
nightclub policy got me diggin in my pocket deep
finally I can show I D eology
sorry to mess up your party
you probably sippin bacardi
fillin up your belly proper - remy and vodka
maybe this israeli helicopter
buried too many babies in Gaza
my party people about to pass the henny and chronic
we gon' light it up with Palestinian rockets
1 and a half million hostage
by the zionist economic blockade
husni mubarak's pockets got us locked in a cage
GIVE ME BACK MY GLOCK AND ROCKET-GRENADE
excuse me, you can read da eulogy of
Operation New Middle East
Ghost town chill anna rumours of war
On Salah ad-Din and Omar al-Mukhtar
Shockwave impact wipes the streets clean
From Rimal to Midan Filasteen
Colour explosion like a cartoon
From Rafah to Beit Hanoun
Duck and cover fiyah soon come

MC to the last clip. last step, last breath, Rap is my destiny, Rap till my destiny unwraps in my death. My enemies splashin my chest with the M16s, Macs and the Techs. My whole life flash in a sec, I look back and reflect:
Did I take the right path? and whats happenin next?
My last day livin on this earth comin no doubt so before i go out, I seize the moment and enter into the infinite incidence of my existence double checkin what Im representin makin sure fosho it aint insignificant . most of the main decisions I made since I came to Michigan was based on faith in this music kickin it with my Detroit hip hoppers, Its a privilege. 100 percent of my spirit is in it but Im a human so its a percentage thats not disciplined and not that committed, probably came off too inconsiderate but y all know this is the life of an immigrant and Im livin it the best way that i can Big A K in my hand, peace to my fallen militants.. Salam!
MC to the last clip. last step, last breath, Rap is my destiny, Rap till my destiny unwraps in my death. My enemies splashin my chest with the M16s, Macs and the Techs. My whole life flash in a sec, I look back and reflect:
Did I take the right path? and whats happenin next?
when I was 16 I seen my closest friend Transcend and before him, 110 refugees in the UN base, most of them children was killed when they fell asleep and started dreamin about seashells , the helicopter drop the 155 millimeter shells, made the place they dwell hell, still heaven is my own home land, knew it since i was born now Im a grown man, the day of my passin they gon' say he lasted from the 1st to the last clip, chosen to compose flows and poems every time Im holdin a pen, floatin over this ocean of sin, focusin keepin my soul open from within, just in case Im close to the end
