Yeah
Stand for something or fall for anything
I'm sick, but it's game time
Ay
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
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
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?"
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
Stand for something or fall for anything
I'm sick, but it's game time
Ay
The world's on fire, we don't own the water, y'all
Inmates hired for a couple dollars, y'all

Award-winning US rapper Macklemore released a powerful track on Tuesday, taking aim at US President Donald Trump, billionaire Elon Musk, and the war-torn regions of Gaza, Sudan, and Congo.
Since the onset of Israel’s war on Gaza on 7 October 2023, the American artist has notably used his online platforms to amplify pro-Palestine advocacy.
