On This land

We will stay here.. so that the pain fades away
We will live here.. the melody will sweeten
My homeland, my homeland.. homeland of courage
My homeland, my homeland.. my homeland, oh me

I hate that I'm more comfortable in English
But everyday I tell myself that it's a privilege
Cuz I can talk about the way my people living
And I'll do it on this beat cuz I know you'll wanna listen

I seen children with a vision
Turn to numbers on your TV screen
I seen dreams and hopes of a college degree
Turn to dust and get buried up under all this debris uh

Our biggest weapon is our family trees
We didn't choose to live this life overseas
I hear the sounds of the bombs in my sleep
But I never in my life heard the sound of defeat

cuz we are a nation of displaced dreamers
Heritage keepers
Overpaid leaders
By definition we are overachievers
Underpaid teachers of life can you hear us uh
And if you have a problem with me speaking up
Tell my assistant 'cause I don't give a fuck
Imagine thinking you can censor us

We never forget our martyrs, sir
And on the land of the homeland you'll find me
We never forget our martyrs, sir
And on the land of the homeland you'll find me
Even if they block the square
Even if they steal the address
The soil of precious Jerusalem, the house of the good nostalgia
Oh my country, we won't forget you
The soil of precious Jerusalem, the house of the good nostalgia
Oh my country, we won't forget you
