According to the Guardian, the eldest daughter of Pakistan’s assassinated former prime minister Benazir Bhutto has composed a rap song about her mother’s killing.

"There’s a few things I never got to say," sings Bakhtawar, a student at the University of Edinburgh, at the beginning of the five-minute song, which was played on Pakistani television and posted on YouTube.

Entitled I Would Take the Pain Away, the lyrics continue:

"Your enemies feared your presence

You had beauty you had presence

Everything you did relevant"
