[Chorus: Anees, Anees & Choirs, Mackelmore]

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

Oo-ohhh, Oo-ohhh

Oo-ohhh (Louder), Oo-ohhh

They can bury us

But they will find out we are seeds

[Verse 1: Anees]

I say free Falasteen because I know of every massacre we suffered

The Nakba, Sabra, Shatila, Rafah

My people have died a million times in their struggles

'Til 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 that neck

Death cannot break us

In every Palestinian refugee holds a key

One day we will return

No matter how long it takes us

[Chorus: Anees & Choirs, Macklemore]

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

Oo-ohhh, Oo-ohhh

Oo-ohhh (Louder), Oo-ohhh

They can bury us

But they will find out we are seeds

[Verse 2: MC Abdul]

(Yeah, 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 the system that doesn't want us existing

Turn this 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

His tears water their graves to let them 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 with the rubble, I touched with my hands

[Bridge: Amer Zahr & Choirs]

في حياتنا من كُن حُرّين (In our lifetime, we will be free)

الماء والنور ومنكم حُرّين (With water, with light, and from you, we are free)

في حياتنا من كُن حُرّين (In our lifetime, we will be free)

لو دفنونا نرجع مزهرين (If they bury us, we will return blooming)

From the river to the sea

Palestine will be free (Louder)

From the river to the sea

Palestine will be free (Louder)

[Verse 3: Macklemore]

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 trynna 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 we actually really don't give

When you take away that 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 like them Anor

Hey Kamala, I don’t know if you listening

But stop sending money and weapons you ain't winning Michigan

We uncommitted, and hell no we ain't switching positions

Because the whole world turned Palestinian

I see them murdered children in 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?

[Outro: Amer Zahr & Choirs]

في حياتنا من كُن حُرّين (In our lifetime, we will be free)

الماء والنور ومنكم حُرّين (With water, with light, and from you, we are free)

في حياتنا من كُن حُرّين (In our lifetime, we will be free)

لو دفنونا نرجع مزهرين (If they bury us, we will return blooming)

From the river to the sea

Palestine will be free (Louder)

From the river to the sea

Palestine will be free (Louder)
