Jerusalem Freestyle Lyrics

[Intro]
Dreamin we could make a living
We may call it home, but it isn't
Living a life full of hate
Dont you talk about forgiving
Quicksand on the beach
But still you got children playin’ by the sea
The language different, so they gone now
Always wishing it was me
Late nights and the trauma
Eating away at my soul
Feeling guilty that I'm not there
Mama, I wanna go home
Forgiattos on the drop top
We ain't got nowhere to go
IDs at the checkpoints
Just so we know, we below

[Verse 1]
Come take a trip to Jerusalem
You ain’t see the people they movin 'em
Rеason they hate me 'causе I'm always true with em
This shit got nothing to do with em
Used to have so many friends now I'm losing 'em
I don't really give a fuck 'cause I’m through with ’em
I met some real ones that gave me the tools to success, and you better believe that I'm using ’em
Damn, this is all part of a plan
Gotta get rich and give back to the people who never gave up on staying in the land
Money is nothin' to me, I just reinvest in my community
They bombing our cities, and then they be saying it's all for security
[Bridge]
Ce qui se passe autours je m'en balec j’entends rien
Seul dans mon monde, mais c'est là que j'me sens bien
Un seul endroit où j'veux être c'est Gaza
J'l'ai vue de loin et elle m'a dit reviens
Girl I love a lil crazy
Pick you up in a Mercedes
I wanna take you to Jericho
Her parents worry bout her daily

[Verse 2]
Come take a trip to my city
The bullets be flying all over the place, but you're safe just as long as you with me
Already know that somebody gon' kill me
Don't listen the media tellin' you stories, just take it directly from me
More than a century since we been free
Just come to my city and see for yourself how they livin'
2020 they ain't with the vision
We gon' bring 'em together and I don't really give a fuck if you Muslim or Christian
No time for division
My people in Gaza, Jaffa and Jenin
The people of Nablus, Haifa wil Khaleel
My people in Yemen, Syria and Lebanon
We got your back 'cause we know how it feels

[Outro]
Là, c'est qu'un rêve, mais je sais que je reviendrai
J'bosse comme un chien ça m'a rien rapportée
J'sais j'suis capable, faut juste me pousser
Là pour le coup, c'est maintenant ou Jamais
Fuck these corrupt politicians who steal from their people and dont represent em I said it 
We Fight for our rights and its anti semitic
You think after being oppressed they would get it yeah
