Lowkey - Long Live Palestine lyrics

This is for Palestine, Ramallah, West Bank
Gaza this is for the child that
Is searching for the answer
I wish I could take your tears
And replace them with laughter
Long live Palestine, long live Gaza
Palestine, Ramallah, West Bank, Gaza
This is for the child that
Is searching for an answer
I wish I could take your tears
And replace them with laughter
Long live Palestine, long live Gaza

While we listen to tunes
Made by ignorant fools
Israel blocked the UN from delivering food
They'll bring in the troops and you
Won't even glimpse at the news
They make money off the products that
We are quick to consume
It's not simply a question of differing views


Forget emotions, this is fact
What I spit is the truth
Makes no difference if you're a Christian
Or if you're a Jew
They are just people living in
Different conditions to you
They still die when you bomb their schools
Mosques and hospitals
It is not because of rockets
Please god can you stop it all
I'm not related to the strangers on the TV
But I relate because those strangers
Could have been me
Words can never ever explain the raw tragedy
It's not a war they're
Just murdering more rapidly
We are automatically supporting pure savagery
Imagine how you'd feel if
This was your family

Free my people, long live Palestine
We will never let you go

Free Free Palestine, Free Free Palestine
Free Free Palestine, Free Free Palestine
Free Free Palestine, Free Free Palestine
Free Free Palestine, Free Free Palestine

Palestine remains in my heart forever
We stand for peace
In times of war we shan't surrender
Remember, it didn't start in
That dark December every coin is a bullet
If you're Mark's and Spencer
And when you're sipping Coca-Cola
That's another pistol in the holster
Of the soulless soldiers
You say you know about the Zionist lobby
But you put money in their pocket
When you're buying their coffee
Talking about revolution
Sitting in Starbucks
The fact is that's the type
Of thinking I can't trust
Let alone even start to respect
Before you talk learn the meaning of
That scarf on your neck forget Nestlé
Obama promised Israel 30 billion
Over the next decade
They're trigger happy and they're crazy
Think about that when you're putting
Huggies nappies on your baby

Free my people, long live Palestine
We will never let you go

Free Free Palestine, Free Free Palestine
Free Free Palestine, Free Free Palestine
Free Free Palestine, Free Free Palestine
Free Free Palestine, Free Free Palestine

This is not just a war over stolen land
Why do you think little boys
Are throwing stones at tanks?
We will never really know how
Many people are dead
They drop bombs on innocent girls while
They sleep in their beds
Don't get offended by facts
Just try and listen
Nothing is more anti-Semitic than Zionism
So please don't bring bad vibes
When you speak to me
I know there's plenty of Rabbi's
That agree with me it's your choice what you
Do with this message
Don't get it confused I view this
From a truly human perspective
How many more resolutions have to be violated
How many more children have to be annihilated
Israel is a terror state
They're terrorists that terrorise i testify
My television televised them telling lies
This is not a war, it is systematic genocide
But whatever they try
Palestine will never die

Free my people, long live Palestine
We will never let you go

Free Free Palestine, Free Free Palestine
Free Free Palestine, Free Free Palestine
Free Free Palestine, Free Free Palestine
Free Free Palestine, Free Free Palestine

This is for Palestine, Ramallah, West Bank
Gaza this is for the child that
Is searching for the answer
I wish I could take your tears
And replace them with laughter
Long live Palestine, long live Gaza
Palestine, Ramallah, West Bank, Gaza
This is for the child that
Is searching for an answer
I wish I could take your tears
And replace them with laughter
Long live Palestine, long live Gaza
