Look into my eyes

From Outlandish, a poignant and beautiful video about the occupation and apartheid in Palestine. Count on Outlandish to produce awesome and meaningful hip hop.

See I’ve known terror for quite some time
57 years so cruel
Terror breathes the air I breathe
It’s the checkpoint on my way to school
Terror is the robbery of my land
And the torture of my mother
The imprisonment of my innocent father
The bullet in my baby brother
The bulldozers and the tanks
The gases and the guns
The bombs that fall outside my door
All due to your funds
You blame me for defending myself
Against the ways of my enemies
I’m terrorized in my own land
But am I the terrorist?

Oh, let’s not cry tonight, I promise you one day it’s through;
Oh, my brothers; Oh, my sisters;
Oh, shine a light for every soul that ain’t with us no more…

Even if their Danish English doesn’t make perfect sense sometimes.
