"HIND'S HALL" lyrics

"HIND'S HALL"

Woo
Yeah, the people, they won't leave
What is threatenin' about divesting and wantin' peace?
The problem isn't the protests, it's what they're protestin'
It goes against what our country is fundin' (Hey)
Block the barricade until Palestine is free (Hey)
Block the barricade until Palestine is free
When I was seven, I learned a lesson from Cube and Eazy-E
What was it again? Oh yeah, fuck the police (Woo)

Actors in badges protecting property
And a system that was designed by white supremacy (Brrt)
But the people are in the streets
You can pay off Meta, you can't pay off me
Politicians who serve by any means
AIPAC, CUFI, and all the companies
You see, we sell fear around the land of the free
But this generation here is about to cut the strings
You can ban TikTok, take us out the algorithm
But it's too late, we've seen the truth, we bear witness
Seen the rubble, the buildings, the mothers and the children
And all the men that you murdered and then we see how you spin it
Who gets the right to defend and who gets the right of resistance
Has always been about dollars and the color of your pigment, but
White supremacy is finally on blast
Screamin' "Free Palestine" 'til they're home at last (Woo)

We see the lies in them, claimin' it's antisemitic to be anti-Zionist
I've seen Jewish brothers and sisters out there and ridin' in
Solidarity and screamin' "Free Palestine" with them
Organizin', unlearnin' and finally cuttin' ties with
A state that's gotta rely on an apartheid system to uphold an occupyin' violent
History been repeating for the last seventy-five
The Nakba never ended, the colonizer lied (Woo)
If students in tents posted on the lawn
Occupyin' the quad is really against the law
And a reason to call in the police and their squad
Where does genocide land in your definition, huh? (Hey; hey)
Destroyin' every college in Gaza and every mosque
Pushin' everyone into Rafah and droppin' bombs
The blood is on your hands, Biden, we can see it all
And fuck no, I'm not voting for you in the fall (Woo)
Undecided, you can't twist the truth, the people out here united
Never be defeated when freedom's on the horizon
Yet the music industry's quiet, complicit in their platform of silence (Hey, woo)

What happened to the artist? What do you got to say?
If I was on a label, you could drop me today
I'd be fine with it 'cause the heart fed my page
I want a ceasefire, fuck a response from Drake (Woo)
What you willin' to risk? What you willin' to give?
What if you were in Gaza? What if those were your kids?
If the West was pretendin' that you didn't exist
You'd want the world to stand up and the students finally did, let's get it (Woo)

Brrt
Woo

"HIND'S HALL", released on the 6th of May, 2024, is Macklemore's tribute to Palestinians in Gaza which suffer Israel's attack from October of 2023 and to the protests organized around the world in response to the thousand of casualties and "genocidal" military offensive. The title of the song refers to the renamed "Hamilton Hall" at Columbia University in Manhattan. The building was renamed by students during the protests in memory of a Palestinian girl Hind Rajab murdered by Israeli forces.
All the proceeds made from "Hind's Hall" go to the UNRWA, the aid organization for Palestinians mandated by the UN General Assembly to serve "Palestine refugees". Macklemore announced it in the post on X on the 7th of May, 2024, "HIND'S HALL. Once it's up on streaming all proceeds to UNRWA."
