Verse 1
Em 
The people they won't leave What  (E minor) 
is threatening 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
Block the barricade until Palestine is free
E 
Block the barri (E major) cade until
Em 
 (E minor) Palestine is free
When I was seven
I learned a lesson from Cuban Easy E
What was it again?
D 
Oh  (D major) yeah, fuck the police
Em 
Act (E minor) ors and badgers protecting property
In a system that was designed
C 
Em 
by white suprem (C major) acy  (E minor) 
But the people are in the streets
You can pay off Meta,
you can't pay off me
Politicians who serve by any means
D 
AIPAC, KUFI, and all the compan (D major) ies
Em 
You  (E minor) 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,
C 
we bear  (C major) witness
Em 
I've  (E minor) seen the rubble,
the buildings,
the mothers and the children
And all the men that you murdered
and now we see how you spin it
Who gets the right to defend
D 
and who gets the right of res (D major) istance
Has always been about dollars
Dm 
C 
and  (D minor) the color of your  (C major) pigment
Em 
But white  (E minor) su  premacy is
G 
Em 
 (G major) finally on  (E minor) blast
D 
Screaming  (D major) free Palestine
Em 
till  (E minor) their home ain't last
We see the lies and the unclaiming
It's anti -Semitic to be anti -Zion
Slicing Jewish brothers
C 
and sis (C major) ters out there
Em 
 (E minor) An  d vibing in solidarity
and screaming free Palestine
With them organizing and learning
and finally cutting ties
With a state that's gotta rely
on apartheid systems
who uphold an occupying
C 
Em 
 (C major) violent his (E minor) tory
been repeating for the last 75
the NECPA never ended the colonizer
lied if students in tents
posted on the lawn
occupying the quad
C 
is really against  (C major) the law
Em 
no  (E minor) reason to call
and the police in their squad
where does genocide land in
your definition huh?
destroying every college in Gaza
and every mosque
D 
push (D major) ing everyone into
C 
roughing dropping  (C major) bombs
Em 
the blood is on  (E minor) your hands
Gm 
G 
D 
Biden  (G minor) we  can see  (G major) it all and  (D major) fuck no
Em 
I'm  (E minor) not voting for you in the fall,
undecided
You can't twist the truth,
the people out here united
Never be defeated
C 
Em 
when  (C major) freedom's on the  (E minor) ho  rizon
Yet the music in the streets quiet,
complicit in their platform of silence
What happened to the artists,
Am 
what you gotta  (A minor) say?
Em 
If  (E minor) I was on a label,
you could drop me today
C 
Em 
 (C major) I'd  (E minor) be fine with it
cause the heart fed my page
Am 
B 
 (A minor) I wanna  (B major) cease fire,
Bm 
fuck a re (B minor) sponse from Drake
D 
Em 
 (D major) What  (E minor) you willing to risk?
D 
What you willing to  (D major) give?
What if you were in Gaza?
C 
What if those were  (C major) your kids?
Em 
If the West was  (E minor) pre tending
G 
that  (G major) you didn't exist
Em 
D 
You want the  (E minor) world to stand  (D major) up
Em 
And the  (E minor) stu dents finally did
