Rafah
Il rap è un genere musicale che non mi piace ma in questi due casi faccio un’eccezione.
[Intro: Macklemore]
(Woo)
Yeah!
[Verse 1: Macklemore]
The people, they won’t leave
What is threatenin’ about divesting and wanting peace?
The problem isn’t the protests, it’s what they’re protesting
It goes against what our country is funding
(Hey) Block the barricade until Palestine is free
(Hey) 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, f**k the police (Woo)
[Verse 2: Macklemore]
Actors in badges protecting property
And a system that was designed by white supremacy (Brrt)
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
Screaming “Free Palestine” ‘til they’re home at last (Woo)
[Verse 3: Macklemore]
We see the lies in ’em
Claimin’ it’s antisemitic to be anti-Zionist
I’ve seen Jewish brothers and sisters out there and riding in
Solidarity and screaming “Free Palestine” with them
Organizing, unlearnin’ and finally cutting ties with
A state that’s gotta rely on an apartheid system
To uphold an occupying violent
History been repeating for the last seventy-five
The Nakba never ended, the colonizer lied (Woo)
If students in tents posted on the lawn
Occupying 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? (Hey, hey)
Destroying every college in Gaza and every mosque
Pushing everyone into Rafah and dropping bombs
The blood is on your hands, Biden, we can see it all
And f**k no, I’m not voting for you in the fall (Woo)
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 (Hey, woo)
[Verse 4: Macklemore]
What happened to the artist? What d’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, f**k a response from Drake (Woo)
What you willing to risk? What you willing to give?
What if you were in Gaza? What if those were your kids?
If the West was pretending that you didn’t exist
You’d want the world to stand up and the students finally did
Let’s get it (Woo)
[Outro: Macklemore]
Brrt
Woo
mi dici pensa a cantare mica alla guerra
canto di sta merda che tanto non lo fa chi ci governa
una striscia di morte per una striscia di terra
è cambiato solo lo stemma la svastica ora è una stella
quale 7 ottobre stronzo hai fatto male il conto
come il nonno che non sa quanto fa 15 e 18
prima chiedono la pace dopo stracciano l’accordo
sta merda qua va avanti da un po’ tipo il 48
dite a Biden che non siamo scemi
dite alla NatO che non sono nato mica ieri
che quando serve essere un genio
non serve essere Rita Levi
quella pace che sbandieri
non la fai mica coi caccia mitraglieri
che brutto spettacolo
li armano dal pentagono
parlano col diavolo la stella è del pentacolo
poi scrivono sui missili “FINISCILI”
niente di personale ma
io ho un odio viscerale per i viscidi
lo vedo in tutti i video
negli occhi di un bambino
che strilla mentre vede suo padre bruciare vivo
a Liliana darà fastidio
ma lo dico con la pace nel cuore
mettetevi il cuore in pace
è un genocidio pochi cazzi
poi si offendono quando li chiami “nuovi nazi”
in terra Santa la terra salta ma non rimbalzi
non è che se conti i morti di Auschwitz
non conta più quanti palestinesi son rimasti
pessimi
non siete seri umani
voi siete solo esseri
quando fermate aiuti umanitari
mentre qui alzano le mani contro i manifestanti
quelli ad ogni morto alzano le mani festanti
davanti a bimbi rimasti senza mamma e papà
la coerenza della gente ha abbandonato la chat
A chi dice è stato solo un incidente Rafah
forse ci avrei creduto 38.000 civili fa
