you didn’t hear our cries you didn’t see our dead you didn’t feel our pain

yet you hear our guns yet you see our rage yet you feel their pain

our homes destroyed our food wasted
our water tainted our women raped our children dead our men slaughtered

yet they cry out the wrong name free israel
free israel
free israel from what

they have taken our food they have taken our water they have taken our homes
they have taken our electricity they have taken our children they have taken our women they have taken our men
yet you want to free them?

where were you for us?
you were there for shani louk she’s alive and okay
where were you for us?
you were there for 40 beheaded babies they don’t even exist
where were you for us?

your support was conditional your love was lies
you turned to support israeli lives

do we not matter are we not alive?
do my people not have a right to survive?

i want to cry
but then i’m weak i want to scream
but then i’m a terrorist

i have to stay silent for the death of my people i have to condemn the liberation of my people you called the indigenous savages
you called black people animals
you called palestinian people terrorists

i call you zionists
i call you colonizers i call you racist
i call you heartless i call yo-
