Lyrics Video No Women No Drive Saudi Females fight Driving Ban

In Saudi Arabia Driving is banned for Females

The kingdom’s first major driving protest came in 1995. Some 50 women who drove their cars were jailed for a day, had their passports confiscated and lost their jobs

One woman, Shaimaa Ghassaneya, was found guilty of driving in Jidda and a court sentenced a woman to 10 lashes for violating religious rules.

Few Brave females of Saudi started a fight against this Ban, a religious ban

No Women No Drive is a song based on famous Bob Marley song
No women no cry

The singer has given excellent twist to this song and made a great song to show the real position of driving ban on females in Saudi

Song was recorded by three Saudis who say that their experience in the West influenced them to come up with the satirical response to the ongoing battle.

The “lead” singer, introduced as Hisham Fageeh, an artist and social activist, begins by saying that he doesn’t really listen to music but while studying in the US, a “song by a Jamaican guy” caught his attention and he decided to do his own version

Lyrics of the song No Women No Drive

No women No drive
No women No drive
No women No drive
No women No drive
Say, Say
Say I remember when you used to sit in the family car
But backseat
Ova-ovaries all safe and well
So you can make lots and lots of babies
Good friends we had and good friends we lost
On the highway
In this bright future
You can’t forget your past
So put your car key away
No women no drive
No women no drive
Hey little sister don’t touch that wheel
No women no drive  
No women no drive
I remember when you used to sit
In the family car, but backseat
Of course the driver can take you everywhere
Because the queens don’t drive
But you can cook for me my dinner
Of which Id share with you
Your feet is your only carriage
But only inside the house
And when I say it I mean it
Everything is goonna be alright
Everything is goonna be alright
Everything is goonna be alright
Everything is goonna be alright
Everything is goonna be alright
Everything is goonna be alright
Everything is goonna be alright
Everything is goonna be alright
No women no drive
No women no drive
No women no drive
Hey little sister don’t touch that wheel
No women no drive
