Lyrics

Yeah

The people, they won't leave
What is threatenin' about divesting and wantin' peace?
The problem isn't the protests, it's what they're protesting
It goes against what our country is funding
(Hey) Block the barricade until Palestine is free
(Hey) Block the barricade until Palestine is free
When I was seven, I learned a lesson from Cube and Eazy-E
What was it again? Oh yeah, fuck the police (woo)

Actors in badges protecting property
And a system that was designed by white supremacy (brrt)
But the people are in the streets
You can pay off Meta, you can't pay off me
Politicians who serve by any means
AIPAC, CUFI, and all the companies
You see, we sell fear around the land of the free
But this generation here is about to cut the strings
You can ban TikTok, take us out the algorithm
But it's too late, we've seen the truth, we bear witness
Seen the rubble, the buildings, the mothers and the children
And all the men that you murdered, and then we see how you spin it
Who gets the right to defend and who gets the right of resistance
Has always been about dollars and the color of your pigment, but
White supremacy is finally on blast
Screamin', "Free Palestine" 'til they're home at last 

We see the lies in 'em
Claimin' it's antisemitic to be anti-Zionist
I've seen Jewish brothers and sisters out there and ridin' in
Solidarity and screamin', "Free Palestine" with them
Organizin', unlearnin' and finally cuttin' ties with
A state that's gotta rely on an apartheid system
To uphold an occupyin' violent
History been repeating for the last seventy-five
The Nakba never ended, the colonizer lied (woo)
If students in tents posted on the lawn
Occupyin' the quad is really against the law
And a reason to call in the police and their squad
Where does genocide land in your definition, huh? (Hey-hey)
Destroyin' every college in Gaza and every mosque
Pushin' everyone into Rafah and droppin' bombs
The blood is on your hands, Biden, we can see it all
And fuck no, I'm not votin' for you in the fall (woo)
Undecided
You can't twist the truth, the people out here united
Never be defeated when freedom's on the horizon
Yet the music industry's quiet, complicit in their platform of silence (hey, woo)

What happened to the artist? What d'you got to say?
If I was on a label, you could drop me today
I'd be fine with it 'cause the heart fed my page
I want a ceasefire, fuck a response from Drake (woo)
What you willin' to risk? What you willin' to give?
What if you were in Gaza? What if those were your kids?
If the West was pretendin' that you didn't exist
You'd want the world to stand up and the students finally did, let's get it (woo)

Brrt
Woo

Lyrics

In our lifetime we will be free
One day when the light shines we will be free
In our lifetime we will be free
And they can bury us
But they will find out we are seeds
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (louder)
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
They can bury us
But they will find out we are seeds

I say free Falasteen because I know of every massacre we suffered
The Nakba, Sabra, Shatila, and Rafah
My people have died a million times in their struggles
Still they rise from the tidеs
Like a rose through the rubblе
I see God himself in the eye of a refugee
Who rather die a martyr than live a life under siege
So if I'm not allowed to say, "From the River to the Sea"
Then, "From the rind to the seed Palestine will be free"
Still, they know they can't shake us
Billion-dollar sword to the neck
Death cannot break us
And every Palestinian refugee holds a key
One day we will return
No matter how long it takes us

In our lifetime we will be free
One day when the light shines we will be free
In our lifetime we will be free
And they can bury us
But they will find out we are seeds
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (louder)
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
They can bury us (yeah)
But they will find out we are seeds (ayy, yeah)

I've seen massacres, I'm grateful to be alive
You appreciate life when you survive a genocide
Look in my eyes and tell me what you see
Ran out of tears to cry, rap 'til Palestine is free
Got a problem with a system that doesn't want us existing
Turn a city to a prison that's missing living conditions
My moms calling, she's telling me she's kinda scared
I hear the bombs fallin', I smell the death up in the air
My uncle lost his children, I lost my cousins
As tears water the grave to let 'em know he still loves 'em
Our schools turn to shelters for the rich and poor
I just pray for peace
When I speak I don't wish for war
Bodies layin' out, ain't nothing to play about
I give my people hope 'cause I'm the first who made it out
I'm just walking the path, this is God's plan
Building up my dreams, from the rubble I touched with my hands

في حياتنا منكون حرين
يلمع النور ومنكون حرين
في حياتنا منكون حرين
لو دفنونا منرجع مزهرين

From the river to the sea
Palestine will be free (louder)
From the river to the sea
Palestine will be free (louder)

They done woke up the world now
We know who you serve at the White House
To kids in Gaza my vow right now
I'ma ride for your life like you were my child
Long live the resistance if there's something to resist
Had enough of you motherfuckers murdering little kids
PC for a minute I was trying to be a bridge
But there'll never be freedom by pleading with Zionists
World screaming, "Free Palestine"
We seen the manual we know how you colonized
You'd be surprised by how many fucks you actually really don't give
When you take away the power of the all-mighty dollar sign
Fuck the allure, we'll boycott the stores
Capitalism killing us that's something we can't afford
They want us to hate each other in the interest of war
Afraid of the mosque and afraid to light the menorah
Hey Kamala, I don't know if you listening
But stop sending money and weapons or you ain't winning Michigan
We uncommitted, and hell no we ain't switching positions
Because the whole world turned Palestinian
I see the murdered children of Gaza and I see my babies
Life being stripped from the bombs we're making
When will Congress decide a Palestinian's life is just as precious as an Israeli's
We don't own the earth, don't own the earth
We're killing each other over some lines in the dirt
We bleed the same blood, feel the same hurt
Palestinian life, does it have the same worth?
What happened to us?
What happened to us?

في حياتنا منكون حرين
يلمع النور ومنكون حرين
في حياتنا منكون حرين
لو دفنونا منرجع مزهرين

Palestine will be free

OverviewLyrics

Lyrics

… Yeah
Stand for something or fall for anything
I'm sick, but it's game time
Ayy

… The world's on fire, we don't own the water, y'all
Inmates hired for a couple dollars, y'all
New era ushered, but white supremacy is still in charge
Talkin' colonizing Gaza from the White House lawn
But the people mobbin', and we ain't backin' off
Finally see the oligarchy and men that control us all
Tax breaks for the elite, and then they taxin' y'all
Killin' Palestinian kids and we gettin' hit with the cost

Why the fuck you think you can't afford the rent in your building?
And you can't afford groceries? In debt, in your feelings
And you know how the West thinks, it's all about the West banks
Call a ceasefire, then start annexing the West Bank
How you think Israel gets money for the best tanks?
And Netanyahu loves Trump, he's like, "Yup, thanks!"
That's your money, and yes, it's all connected
And they controllin' your feed, the information that they censor
Blockin' hashtags, can't say "#FreePalestine"
It's two weeks in, think where we'll be around July
But you know us Americans, outta sight, outta mind

And they know it, too that's why they runnin' game on our lives

… But they got me fucked up (woo, woo)
They got me fucked up (woo, woo)
They got me fucked up (woo, woo)
And Elon, we know exactly what that was, bruh
They got us fucked up (woo, woo)
They got us fucked up (woo, woo)
They got us fucked up (woo, woo)
And Elon, we know exactly what that was, bruh

… You can bomb a mosque, but you can't bomb faith
You can kill people, resistance grows in the wake

And while our president sends billions to Israel's safes
Ethnic cleansing's never gonna make Israelis feel safe
More blood, more weapons, more money, more oppression
More hate, more fear, more walls, and more settlements
The colonizer just spoke to us at the White House
What we said was gonna happen is happening right now
Nah, they marchin' home, yeah, that's resilience
Millions celebrating like the world was walking with 'em
You in the palm of God? No man will ever catch you flinchin'
They can never burn the olive tree that lives within 'em
The next four years, it's time to ride
Fuck ICE, free Congo, Sudan, and Palestine
If you still haven't said shit about the genocide
Know your grandkids one day are gonna ask you, "Why?"

… They got me fucked up (woo, woo)
They got me fucked up (woo, woo)
They got me fucked up (woo, woo)
And Elon, we know exactly what that was, bruh
They got us fucked up (woo, woo)
They got us fucked up (woo, woo)
They got us fucked up (woo, woo)
And Elon, we talkin' cobalt on the next one
