Kashgar
Early Han dynasty
A quintessential caravan city
Up until the late Qin dynasty
Glory days and hey days in the Tang dynasty
Oh you've never heard of Kashgar?
China's trade superstars
Found right next to Tajik
Silk and fine jewelry
Uh, Aksu-Kashgar Route
Tarim Basin
Located on the Silk Road
Everyone's so Asian
But in this trade city
There's so much diversity
Uighurs, Tajiks
And the Han Chinese
So talking about Kashgar
Let's talk about religion
They got Mahayana Buddhism
Dhantin here's a pigeon
And the pigeons that killed that one guy
What was his name?
Doesn't matter
Chang-Lung's the one in the game
But there's somebody else
We gotta talk about
Mao Zedong's statue
I'm sure you've seen it around
Go back to the sixth century
And you'll find my Yeda huns
They controlled part of Kashgar
With the Hephthalite Huns
But even after that
It was often attacked
But that's all because
Kashgar brought much cash
Oh you've never heard of Kashgar
China's trade superstars
Found right next to Tajik
Silk and fine jewelry
Yeah, and here's another piece of info
Don't mess with Tibet
They beat the Chinese army fosho
But there's no such thing
as a beat China
That's just a fairy tale
Tang's propaganda
Everything they did
Kashgar did it good
That is clearly shown during the
Tang brotherhood
That was the good time
To come and live in Kashgar
From six-eighteen to nine-oh seven
Long live Kashgar
It had heydays in the past
'Course Tang was not all, Nein
From three eighty-six, until
Five eighty-nine
How did Kashgar grow?
Well I guess there are some factors
But primarily location
Not unpaid child labors
Listen up now
Class has started
Teacher's in the house
This ain't for the faint-hearted
Kashgar's products, this ain't for my profit
So let's get into it (Let's do it)
5,4,3,2,1 First up is dried fruits
Then medicinal herbs thats important
And if you got them furs
Leave for Baghdad and bag that
What about a silk carpet
Copper teapots and boxes
All sold at them Sunday bazaars that's not
toxic
Trade
Kashgar, say bazaar
You know that we're better than Myanmar
We're stars
We set the bar
What else rhymes with Kashgar
Here's a guitar
So now you've heard of Kashgar
Hope you've learned something new
That's the end of this song
'Bout to go get me some dew
I've run out of ideas Mrs. Schmidt, Schmidt
So here's a picture of Mrs. Schmidt, Schmidt
Just make sure to remember all this
And scream Kashgar to the sky
