about

"Locals" is the second single off of my second upcoming project, ALTER - NATIVE.

This is a manifesto dedicated to the local girls of Lahore.

lyrics

Chalo nachein gey phir
Ab toh nachein gein hum
Ow!
Can’t hold you to the disco tonight
We’re spitting at the locals,
we’re spitting fire

local girl,
you’re not loved,
you’re so fun,
they’re fucked up
Put your mind up
for display,
you changed my clothes,
you changed my sway

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah,
Yay-yo!

You g-g-get the boys
the-the-the-the-the politiks of joy
Take a smoke break
and make some noise,
Spitting at the local fucking royals

local girl,
you’re not loved,
you’re so fun,
they’re fucked up
Put your mind up for display,
you changed my clothes,
you changed my sway

local girl,
you fucked up again,
you fucked these locals
in their heads again,
And again,
and again,
and again,
and again
and again
and again
and AGAIN
AND AGAIN!

LOCAL BOYS!

LOCAL GIRLS!

ASSEMBLE!

and attention

[music break]

Local girl makes local boy think all girls are fucking crazy
Local boy thinks he’s sharp, talks real fast, super shady
Local girl runs party favours, boys busy with boring ragers
Alcohol on window panes and local girl thinks it’s lame
Till he’s just local history, his fits, he’s jealous, jittery
Your shoes don’t fit, your shoes don’t fit, your shoes don’t fit his mystery
and leave that boy, let it be, don’t understate your sex appeal
Drop that act and drop that ass, let’s fucking go, let’s dash, dance

local girl, you’re not loved, you’re so fun, they’re fucked up
Put your mind up for display, you changed my clothes, you changed my sway
Local girl, you fucked up again, you fucked these locals in their heads again,
And again, and again, and again, and again

local GIRL, take yourself out to a spin!
Ask yourself almost anything!
Won't you see what’s in your head
We don’t fuck with your local mess

about

zulfi Lahore, Pakistan

Zulfi is a one-boy dynamo. Grown gold in Pakistan, he now records his shiny, substantial alt-pop in a basement studio at Yale, sourcing from dance flings, the legacy of Freddy Mercury, and a summery fuck-u energy. His words teethe on the grit of life lived young and collegiate. grounding himself in the familiarity of the post-party sidewalk, the knowledge that others are out there burning, too. ... more
