Saint Levant’s heralded debut LP, Deira, dropped back in June, and out on the North American leg of his world tour, the multilingual and multicultural rapper sold out Terminal 5 on Friday night.

سوف نبقى هنا ... كي يزول الألم

سوف نحيا هنا ... سوف يحلو النغم

موطني موطني ... موطني ذا الإباء

موطني موطني ... موطني يا أنا

I hate that I'm more comfortable in English

But everyday I tell myself that it's a privilege

Cuz I can talk about the way my people living

And I'll do it on this beat cuz I know you'll wanna listen

I seen children with a vision

Turn to numbers on your TV screen

I seen dreams and hopes of a college degree

Turn to dust and get buried up under all this debris uh

Our biggest weapon is our family trees

We didn't choose to live this life overseas

I hear the sounds of the bombs in my sleep

But I never in my life heard the sound of defeat

Cuz we are a nation of displaced dreamers

Heritage keepers

Overpaid leaders

By definition we are overachievers

Underpaid teachers of life can you hear us uh

And if you have a problem with me speaking up

Tell my assistant 'cause I don't give a fuck

Imagine thinking you can censor us

ما مننساش شهدانا يا سيدي

و على ارض الوطن تلاقيني

ما مننساش شهدانا يا سيدي

و على ارض الوطن تلاقيني

حتى لو سدو الميدان

حتى لو سرقوا العنوان

تراب القدس الغالية، بيت حنينة الطيبة

اه يا بلدي ما بننساك

تراب القدس الغالية، بيت حنينة الطيبة

اه يا بلدي ما بننساك

Saying that I’m obsessed with this song is an understatement…. Wish I knew Arabic but I copied the text from Google….

Wish one day to dance this song in a safe free country called Palestine 🇵🇸🍉 from the river to the sea,
