Umm Kulthum (Arabic: أم كلثوم ʾUmm Kulṯūm; Egyptian Arabic pronunciation: [omme kælˈsuːm]; born فاطمة إبراهيم السيد البلتاجي Fātimah ʾIbrāhīm as-Sayyid al-Biltāǧī, [ˈfɑtˤmɑ (ʔe)bɾˤɑˈhiːm esˈsæjjed elbelˈtæːɡi]; see Kunya) (December 30, 1898[citation needed]–February 3, 1975) was an Egyptian singer, songwriter, and actress. Born in Tamay ez-Zahayra village, which belongs to El Senbellawein, she is known as "the star of the East" (kawkab el-sharq). More than three decades after her death, she is widely regarded as the greatest female singer in Arab music history.
Umm Kulthum was born in Tamay ez-Zahayra village in El Senbellawein, Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt, in Dakahlia, in the Nile Delta, near the Mediterranean Sea. Her birth date is unconfirmed, as birth registration was not enforced throughout the Arab world. The Egyptian Ministry of Information seems to have given either December 31, 1898, or December 31, 1904. She was likely born some time between these two dates.
At a young age, she showed exceptional singing talent. Her father, an Imam, taught her to recite the Qur'an, and she is said to have memorized the entire book. When she was 12 years old, her father disguised her as a young boy and entered her in a small performing troupe that he directed. At the age of 16, she was noticed by Mohamed Aboul Ela, a modestly famous singer, who taught her the old classical repertoire. A few years later, she met the famous composer and oudist Zakariyya Ahmad, who invited her to come to Cairo. Although she made several visits to Cairo in the early 1920s, she waited until 1923 before permanently moving there. She was invited on several occasions to the house of Amin Beh Al Mahdy, who taught her how to play the oud, a type of lute. She developed a very close relationship to Rawheya Al Mahdi, daughter of Amin, and became her closest friend. Kulthum even attended Rawheya's daughter's wedding, although she always tried to avoid public appearances.
"Oh man, do you believe that chick?
She has got no idea what's happening, no idea.
I am the one who's plugged in around here.
That's why they call me The High Priestess of Cool! Ha ha!
See, I'm hip. I'm no square.
I'm alert, I'm awake, I'm aware.
I am always on the scene.
Makin' the rounds, diggin' the sounds.
I read People Magazine.
'Cuz I'm hip.
Like, dig! I'm in step.
When it was hip to be hep, I was hep.
I don't blow but I'm a fan.
Look at me swing. Ring a ding ding.
I even call my girlfriend "man,"
'cuz I'm hip.
Every Saturday night
with my suit buttoned tight and my suedes on
I'm gettin' my kicks
diggin' arty French flicks with my shades on.
I'm too much. I'm a gas.
I am anything but middle class.
When I hang around the band,
poppin' my thumbs, diggin' the drums,
sqaures don't seem to understand
why I flip. They're not hip like I'm hip.
scatting
I'm hip!
scatting
I'm on top of every trend.
Look at me go. Vo-dee-o-do.
Sammy Davis knew my friend.
I'm hip, but not weird.
Like, you notice, I don't wear a beard.
Beards were in but now they're out.
They had they're day. Now they're passe.
Just ask me if you're in doubt,
'cuz I'm hip.
Now I'm deep into Zen
meditation and macrobiotics,
and as soon as I can
I intend to get into narcotics.
'Cuz I'm cool as a cuke.
I'm a cat, I'm a card, I'm a kook, kook, kook.
I get so much out of life.
Really, I do. Skoo ba dee boo.
One more time play "Mack the Knife."
Let 'er rip. I may flip, but I'm hip.

I am holding to the joy of my salvation
I am glad to have a life that always grows
And if the Word of God is any indication
I am doing even better than I know
I am doing even better than I know
There's a joy that even people of the world find
In every good and perfect gift the Father sends
So I thank the Lord that I was born the first time
But I thank Him more that I was born again
Oh, I thank Him more that I was born again
Chorus:
I am up
Like the sun is up
I can feel my life on a rise
I am up
Like the stars at night
I get up on bein' alive
I am up
Like the Lord is up
And my life is filled with His life
I was freed and I am saved
I am up
I am up
There are times life is so fine I can't contain it
Everywhere I look I see what God had done
And I don't have to work and worry to sustain it
When I walk with God His joy will always come
When I walk with God His joy will always come
Chorus

One girl was called Jean Marie
Another little girl was called Felicity
Another little girl was Sally Joy
The other was me, and I'm a boy
My name is Bill, and I'm a head case
They practice making up on my face
Yeah, I feel lucky if I get trousers to wear
Spend evenings taking hairpins from my hair
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But my ma won't admit it
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But if I say I am, I get it
Put your frock on, Jean Marie
Plait your hair, Felicity
Paint your nails, little Sally Joy
Put this wig on, little boy
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But my ma won't admit it
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But if I say I am, I get it
Wanna play cricket on the green
Ride my bike across the street
Cut myself and see my blood
Wanna come home all covered in mud
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But my ma won't admit it
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
Seven weeks have passed now since she left me
She shows her face to ask me how I am
She says the kids are fine and that they miss me
Maybe I could come and baby-sit sometime
She says, "are; you o.k I was worried about you
Can you forgive me I hope that you'll be happy"
I said, "I;'m so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm so happy I'm laughing through my tears"
I saw a friend of mine he said, "I; was worried about you
I heard she had another man, I wondered how you felt about it"
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm so happy I'm laughing through my tears
Saw my lawyer, Mr. good news he got me
Joint custody and legal separation
So I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm laughing through my tears,
I'm laughing through my tears
I took a walk alone last night
I looked up at the stars
To try to find an answer in my life
I chose a star for me I chose a star for him
I chose two stars for my kids and one star for my wife
Something made me smile
Something seemed to ease the pain
Something about the universe and how it's all connected
The park is full of sunday fathers and melted ice cream
We try to do the best within the given time
A kid should be with his mother everybody knows that
What can a father do but baby-sit sometimes
I saw that friend of mine, he said, "you; look different somehow"
I said, "everybody;'s got to leave the darkness sometime"
I said, "I;'m so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm laughing through my tears
I'm laughing through my tears"
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long
The future is coming on
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long
The future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
Yeah... Ha Ha!
Finally someone let me out of my cage
Now, time for me is nothing cos I'm counting no age
Now I couldn't be there
Now you shouldn't be scared
I'm good at repairs
And I'm under each snare
Intangible
Bet you didn't think so I command you to
Panoramic view
Look I'll make it all manageable
Pick and choose
Sit and lose
All you different crews
Chicks and dudes
Who you think is really kickin' tunes?
Picture you gettin' down in a picture tube
Like you lit the fuse
You think it's fictional
Mystical? Maybe
Spiritual
Hearable
What appears in you is a clearer view cos you're too crazy
Lifeless
To know the definition for what life is
Priceless
For you because I put you on the hype shit
You like it?
Gunsmokin' righteous with one token
Psychic among those
Possess you with one go
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long
The future is coming on
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long
The future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
The essence the basics
Without it you make it
Allow me to make this
Child, like in nature
Rhythm
You have it or you don't that's a fallacy
I'm in them
Every sprouting tree
Every child apiece
Every cloud you see
You see with your eyes
I see destruction and demise
Corruption in disguise
From this fuckin' enterprise
Now I'm sucking to your lies
Through Russ, though not his muscles but the percussion he provides
with me as a guide
But y'all can see me now cos you don't see with your eye
You perceive with your mind
That's the inner
So I'm gonna stick around with Russ and be a mentor
With a few rhymes so mother fuckers
Remember where the thought is
I brought all this
So you can survive when law is lawless
Feelings, sensations that you thought were dead
No squealing, remember
(that it's all in your head)
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long
The future is coming on
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long
My future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
My future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
My future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
My future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
My future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
My future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on

Holdin' on tight, baby it's time for
Lovin' all night loving all night lovin' all night yeah

Something that goes deeper, deeper than ourselves
Give it all up to be together, we will never give up each other
Oh, oh, oh,
I guess you don't miss a good thing till is gone!
Gone!
Is that why you're blowing on my phone?
Well, I'm sorry but it took you too long, long
To realize that I'm the one you want!
Oh, I guess you're...
Another man is getting my time,
He has my attention,
Is that why you come around now?
Someone else has me smiling,
Someone else makes me laugh,
Someone else makes me feel good!
And you don't want that, oh no!
[Chorus:]
You can't come back, now,
Cause I'm happy, I'm happy!
No, no, no!
You can't come back, now,
Cause I'm happy, I'm happy!

Yes I am, yes I am, yes I am, yes I am!
I'm so happy!
Yes I am, yes I am, yes I am!
Oh, yes, oh yes, I'm so, so happy!
When I called you, you never had time,
Like I was the last thing on your mind.
I finally decided to stop trying
But now you wanna come back and rewind.
I'm with someone else, baby!
Somebody else's baby!
I'm someone else's sweetheart,
And that drives you crazy!
I don't really think you want me,
You just don't want no one to have me!
So why leave my new men
To go back to the same things?
[Chorus:]
You can't come back, now,
Cause I'm happy, I'm happy!
No, no, no!
You can't come back, now,
Cause I'm happy, I'm happy!
I'm so happy!

Yes I am, yes I am, yes I am, yes I am!
I'm so happy!
Yes I am, yes I am, yes I am!
Oh, yes, oh yes, I'm so, so happy!
Did you think that I'll sit
And just wait in the corner,
When you came back to steal me right here?
Well I waited so long, that I've happy moved on,
And now you wanna act like you...
No you, no
Cause I'm so happy...
So you can't come back now,
Cause I'm happy, I'm so, so, I'm so happy!
Yes I am, yes I am, yes I am
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so,
He makes me so happy
I'm so happy!
Yes I am, yes I am, yes I am
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so happy with him!
So don't call me no more, don't knock on my door!
Cause my other man is gonna be here,

i knew it was dangerous but i took the risk.
and yes it was sweet so sweet to eat.
now see how the flesh is pricked and bleeds.
yeah it bleeds. it bleeds. yeah it bleeds. see how it bleeds.

What's that?
My six song album entitled "Bo Fo Sho" is currently available on iTunes?
With three songs that have never been heard on the internet?
Uh, and if I try to pirate it for free I'll get aids?
I would have guessed scurvy.
Well, see you later ghost of Dr.Martin Luther King Jr.
Wanna hear a rap?
Now, I don't know if all boy scouts are gays,
but they could probably "tie the knot" in like fifty different ways...
I got a safe full o' cherries, cause I pop it and lock it.
A girl's like a fridge; once a week you should stock it.
And, girl, if your into a rimmin' it's only safe if your swimming,
And girl don't sit on the couch cause I treat my objects like women.
I spit fire like I just blew a demon.
My shit's so hot I leave your toilet bowl steamin'.
I'm gonna tarot like the cards of the gypsies.
You'll bleed for so long you'll get monthly ellipses.
If your pants are loose, I'll re-pleat ya.
You're a first time vegan, and it's nice to meat ya.
I'm bo yo.
I'm the greatest rappa eva
And I'll weather your weather whether you think I'm clever or not.
Think you're better, you're not.
Don't need a sweater; I'm hot.
I'm a real G, shawty, that can really find your g-spot
What the hell's a g-spot?
Go to a vagina orchard. Count 1, 2, 3.
Spin that plant around you got a third whirled cunt tree
That's right. Consider yourself warned.
I'm offensive and creative like handicapped porn.
You're playing with your breasts. Excuse me, can I try it ma'am?
You're pushin' them together like a titty Venn Diagram.
Look at that crack. Excuse me, can I buy a gram?
Right below your diaphram. Ass looks like your hidin' ham.
First base, were making out.
Second base, I'm getting faked out.
Third base, I'm getting take out.
And I'd try to take it home if I knew I'd take it out,
but I just don't know. I said I just don't care. I said
my flow's so cold I need a tampon from a polar bear.
And you can spell and smell my stink.
B.O. lingers and it makes you think.
Cause I'm bo yo.
And I'm the greatest rappa eva.
And I'll weather your weather whether you think I'm clever or not.
Think you're better you're not.
Don't need a sweater; I'm hot.
You got two eyes, only got one shot. yeahh.
Cause girls are like donuts when I be bustin' bo nuts,
I can make 'em cream-filled or give them a layer of glaze.
I'm like doug's friend, Skeeter, whenever I meet her.
Cause I skeet her so hard people call her Patty Mayonnaise.
YO, My girl is epileptic, cause she's the one I'm jerkin' with.
Come on, you asian child labor show me what your workin' with.
Ooh, large machinery?
Cause there's an inverse relationship between respect and sects.
I'm talking about religious sects like a morman sect that says you can't have sex with memebers of different sect, but you can't have sex with members of the same sex.
So, if the sect can't be different; the sex can't be same, the only sex left is some left hand shame.
And, girl, I left you cause you left the game, and if that don't feel right then you can write my name.
Cause I'm bo yo.
I'm the greatest rappa eva.
And I'll weather your weather whether you think you're better or not.
Think you're better you're not.
Don't need a sweater; I'm hot.
And if I can't think of another rhyme then I ought,
To think of one.
Yeah write this down, man.
Yo, yo
Look pass the skin and look to the lyrics.
I run miracle circles around you like spherical lyrics.
This isn't about ironic pigment.
If you're imagining this then I'm a chronic figment.
Yeah.
Feel it. Ready?
Man, my junk's so long that it hangs and swings, so at the nude baech people think I'm lookin' for lost rings
Play the skin flute; your big boy sings, and if you want to take it all wear African neck rings.
Come on.
Haters call me gay, but that ain't hatin',
Cause I'm not homophobic. My morals are straight, and
if I'm in the closet, then you are below me
takin the b-a-t out of basement, homey.
Yeah.
Yo, cause I'm bo yo.
I'm the greatest rappa eva.
And I'll weather your weather whether you think I'm clever or not.
Think you're better you're not.
Don't need a sweater; I'm hot.
I'm a real g that can really find your g-spot.
Yeah, yeah, yo, yooo.
I'm a real g, homey, that can really find your g-spot.
Oh my God, buy my e.p. on iTunes.
Right now, go right now,
While I stall.
Buy it right now.
This city's just waiting to crack
This house is not a home
This is me under attack
This is my self control
And I thought you were somebody else
I thought you were somebody else
I thought you were somebody
I thought you were somebody else
I thought you were somebody else
I thought you were somebody
And if you're looking to me for salvation I'm fresh out
And if you're wanting to vent your frustration
What about when I look at you
I don't see what I used to see
If I want a better life
I'm sorry, forgive me
You're angry, you should be
I'm happy
Why don't we just take a step back
Examine what you are?
You're where the line goes slack
You're a fantastic scar
And you thought I was somebody else
You thought I was somebody else
You didn't know I was somebody
You thought I was somebody else
You thought I was somebody else
You didn't know I was somebody
And if you're looking to me for salvation I'm fresh out
And if you're wanting to vent your frustration
What about when I look at you
I don't see what I used to see
If I want a better life
I'm sorry, forgive me
You're angry, you should be
I'm happy
I'm happy
I've been sittin here for a while
Wishing I could finally see you smile
I've been wanting to see you for a long time
But everyday I grow farther from
Everything I've done and everyone
Here we go again I'm alone now
We try so hard
Cause we don't know what we're looking for
You try so hard
Because you don't know what you're looking for
Yeah I try so hard
Because I don't know what I'm looking for
But yeah I'm happy
I'm happy now
I'm happy
I don't know if I'll ever find you
I don't know if I'll ever need you again
Cause I've been sitting here for so long
Wishing I could write a brand new song
One girl was called Jean Marie Another little girl was called Felicity Another little girl was Sally Joy The other was me, and I'm a boy

I wanna play cricket on the green Ride my bike across the street Cut myself and see my blood I wanna come home all covered in mud
