I really hate posting direct links to Twitter, and I've never even cared for Macklemore, but this track is legit (and so far this is the only platform where it's available)

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 protestin'

It goes against what our country is fundin'

Block the barricade until Palestine is free

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

Actors in badges protecting property

And a system that was designed by white supremacy

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 them, 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

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?

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 voting for you in the fall

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

What happened to the artist? What do 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

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

Bold prediction: Someday liberals will say they always loved this song, but by then it will either be too late for Palestine, or it will be free no thanks to them
