    Lyrics from Genius:

    Yeah

    Stand for something or fall for anything

    I’m sick, but it’s game time

    Ay

    [Verse 1]

    The world’s on fire, we don’t own the water, y’all

    Inmates hired for a couple dollars, y’all

    New era ushered, but white supremacy is still in charge

    Talkin’ colonizing Gaza from the White House lawn

    But the people mobbin’, and we ain’t backin’ off

    Finally see the oligarchy and men that control us all

    Tax breaks for the elite, and then they taxin’ y’all

    Killin’ Palestinian kids and we gettin’ hit with the cost

    Why the fuck you think you can’t afford the rent in your building?

    And you can’t afford groceries? In debt, in your feelings

    And you know how the West thinks: it’s all about the West banks

    Call a ceasefire, then start annexing the West Bank

    How you think Israel gets money for the best tanks?

    And Netanyahu loves Trump, he’s like, “Yup, thanks!”

    That’s your money, and yes, it’s all connected

    And they controllin’ your feed, the information that they censor

    Blockin’ hashtags, can’t say “#FreePalestine”

    It’s two weeks in, think where we’ll be around July

    But you know us Americans: outta sight, outta mind

    And they know it, too – that’s why they runnin’ game on our lives

    [Chorus]

    But they got me fucked up (Woo, woo)

    They got me fucked up (Woo, woo)

    They got me fucked up (Woo, woo)

    And Elon, we know exactly what that was, bruh

    They got us fucked up (Woo, woo)

    They got us fucked up (Woo, woo)

    They got us fucked up (Woo, woo)

    And Elon, we know exactly what that was, bruh

    [Verse 2]

    You can bomb a mosque, but you can’t bomb faith

    You can kill people – resistance grows in the wake

    And while our president sends billions to Israel’s safes

    Ethnic cleansing’s never gonna make Israelis feel safe

    More blood, more weapons, more money, more oppression

    More hate, more fear, more walls, and more settlements

    The colonizer just spoke to us at the White House

    What we said was gonna happen is happening right now

    Nah – they marchin’ home, yeah, that’s resilience

    Millions celebrating like the world was walking with 'em

    You in the palm of God? No man will ever catch you flinchin’

    They can never burn the olive tree that lives within 'em

    The next four years, it’s time to ride

    Fuck ICE, free Congo, Sudan, and Palestine

    If you still haven’t said shit about the genocide

    Know your grandkids one day are gonna ask you, “Why?”

    [Chorus]

    They got me fucked up (Woo, woo)

    They got me fucked up (Woo, woo)

    They got me fucked up (Woo, woo)

    And Elon, we know exactly what that was, bruh

    They got us fucked up (Woo, woo)

    They got us fucked up (Woo, woo)

    They got us fucked up (Woo, woo)

    And Elon, we talkin’ cobalt on the next one

    Glad this is finally picking up views. The political climate broke Macklemore, of all people. What the hell are we doing?

    This inspired me to revolt, but I got nowhere to be until 50501… Alas.
