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
