Rankofa - Remember Palestine Lyrics




I wasn't gon' touch this hot button I can't sit back and be quiet
I might lose friends off of this shit
But if you not standing for truth and justice
Then we probably wasn't friends, no way

My wife said you can't rap that
Big brother is watching
It's too late I'm already locked in
If liberty and death the only options
I promise to remember Palestine and keep soundbombing

Introducing your main accomplice
President approach the podium on some Oscar shit
I'd like to thank the academy for returning hostages

IDF on some Nazi shit bombing kids
They turned Gaza Strip into Auschwitz, preposterous
Six-day war became six decades of horror
Victims the new villains, vice versa
Violations unheard of, apartheid and murder

No United Nations sanctions against open-air prisons, filthy conditions
No running water safety net or electric
Free speech unprotected, speak up and lose your sponsorships
New maps not titled properly
Who's entitled to that beachfront property
True it's anti-Semitic if you hate the Jewish
Ain't Arab Semites too, why no two-state solution

The situation in Palestine serves as a brutal reminder of the consequences of colonialism
And the ruthless dispossession of indigenous people
It is an agonizing reminder that the fight for justice knows no borders
And we must stand united in solidarity with all oppressed peoples

Yo, call a truce now
Listen foreigner the damage is done
Split-second ceasefire, new Nakba begun
Tanks run for another spin, the region gradually cleansed

Massive war chest, add another billion
To blast whole families to oblivion
The death toll a long-ass list
Too long of a log to print
Don't forget about the men and women in Yemen
A diabolical plan underway in Congo and Sudan
Manufactured civil war, here's the steps

Humanitarian crisis, government destabilized
Split two sides, inject democracy
At the round table, bankers enjoying catastrophic profits
Triangular trading grenades

Ask blacks about transatlantic slavery
Ask Aboriginal Australians about colonization
And the resulting economic deprivation
Ask the natives about Caucasian invasions

When safe havens ground zero for extermination
We all need a savior
The Holy Land Project demos Apocalypse
What does it all mean, from the river to the sea
Might not leave enough space for you and me
But peace in the Middle East must start with Philistine

Let's be unequivocally clear
Advocating for the rights of the Palestinian people
Is not synonymous with denying the rights and security of the Jewish people
