Lyrics:
Fi hadal Habs (in this prison)
day after day i try to contemplate what freedom is worth
and how much time and effort is needed to realize our dreams
where's the intention? they prefer foreign thoughts and products, colonization, colonialism, and bourgeois interests
we won't forget, we won't forgive
all that has happened is recorded on notebooks
we shall struggle
imagine a whole nation on your land, fully armed and wanting you to leave
and you're just sitting on the couch, your only hope is your bank account
for such shitty people i won't smile
walking on the street masked
with a little bit of hope that things will get better
if you don't give peace, you don't get peace
maybe tonight i'll sleep in the grave as a consequence of believing in my dreams
nights without sleep, you'll hear banging on the door and not a bell ring, or maybe you'll even get the message through your ceiling- in that case you'll be counting the pieces!
a whole family was murdered today
they aren't my relatives, they aren't the same "color"
i'll stand with you, no matter how far you are
--- chorus (x2) ----
i have the right to be armed, and not naked
im scarred, physically, psychologically / mentally
in this prison i have the right to self-defense
----------
first, i move the division and corruption out of my way
so i can reach my real enemy
they try to silence me with a piece of food
after they dispossessed me, and then accused me
the ones who survived only saw more brainwashing, racism, and suffering
another day in palestine
another episode
a settler burned down a tree
a dirty civil war? the bullet goes to my head!
beg, beg as much as you want
as long as you dont mind the humiliation and occupation
i know you obey the shekel
that's how it is nowadays
everyone's living in a financial mentality, people are distracted financially
economic peace fayyad, netanyahu, it's all bullshit
they want to force us to accept although we don't want to
do all you can to forget the occupation, the largest plate of knafeh and a model competition
