Palestinian Freedom Song: Gaza, Refugees and Resistance
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, oh-oh.
They can bury us, but they will find out we
are seeds.
I say free Palestine because I know of every massacre we suffered.
The Nakba, Sabra, Shatila, and Rafah.
My people have died a million times in their struggle, still they rise from the
tide like a rose through the rubble.
I see God himself in the eye of a refugee, who'd rather die a martyr than
live a life on their knees. So if I'm not allowed to say from the river
to the sea,
then from the Rhine to the sea Palestine will be free. Oh-oh-oh.
Still they know they can't shake us.
Billion-dollar sword to their 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, oh-oh.
They can bury us-
Yes
... but they will find out-
Hey
... we are seeds.
Yo. 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, ride till Palestine is free.
Got a problem with the system that doesn't want us existing.
Turn a city to a prison that's missing living conditions. My mom's calling.
She's telling me she kinda scared. I hear the bombs falling.
I smell of death up in the air. My uncle lost his children,
I lost my cousins.
His tears water the grave to let them know we still loves them.
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 laying 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 with the rubble I touch with my hands.
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, oh-oh.
From the river to the sea.
Palestine will be free.
From the river to the sea.
Palestine will be free.
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 see the manual, we
know how you colonize. You'd be surprised by how many fucks you
actually
really don't give when you take away the power of the
almighty dollar sign.
Fuck the allure. We'll boycott the stores.
Capitalism killing us for 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.
Lives 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?
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, oh-oh. They can bury us.
Palestine will be free.
