LYRICS
[CHORUS] 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
(Ohs)
They can bury us But they will find out we are seeds
[ANEES VERSE]
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 this 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 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
[CHORUS]
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
(Ohs)
They can bury us But they will find out we are seeds
[MC ABDUL VERSE]
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 till 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 falling I smell the death up in the air My uncle lost his children I lost my cousins As tears water the grave To let him 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 laying out Ain’t nothing to play about I give the people hope Cause I’m the first who made it out I’m just walking the path This is gods plan Building up my dreams From the rubble I touched with my hands
[ARABIC CHORUS]
في حياتنا منكون حرين يلمع النور ومنكون حرين
في حياتنا منكون حرين لو دفنونا منرجع مزهرين
(Ohs)
لو دفنونا منرجع مزهرين
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 they’ll never be freedom by pleading with Zionists World screaming free Palestine We see 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’re 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 were making When will congress decide a Palestinians life Is just as precious as an Israelis We don’t own the earth Don’t own the earth We 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
[ARABIC CHORUS]
في حياتنا منكون حرين يلمع النور ومنكون حرين
في حياتنا منكون حرين لو دفنونا منرجع مزهرين
(Ohs)
لو دفنونا منرجع مزهرين
