Boy Meets Girl

Boy meets girl
Girl changes boy's whole fucking world

I was out one night with the homies
In a place where nobody really know peace
And I saw your one, knew she was from
Where everyone got guns and neuroses

But she was looking so fine
Low-key
Big brown eyes
Doe-ey

And you know me
I just had to chat
Was such a sucker
For that accent

Add to that she a brainiac
With no patience for that Khamenei crap
So laid back but she thought that I might
Be a dog, like a Animaniac

But the way we had
This amazing back and forth
The conversation
Was made to last of course

But I'm afraid that
Time gon' come
When she find out where I'm from
And we done

'Cause truth was
She from Gaza
She be smoking hookah
Not grabba

And me
I'm from a settlement
Where we raised to behave
Like we better than

See Gaza got gunplay
Kids in the way
Scream Bibi
Give me one more chance

But nah
No soup for you
You will not see me say it
But you know it's true (yeah)

So you see why
I might be shy
'Cause ever since
We was both knee-high

We was told
We could never see eye to eye
That it's deep in the genes
Like Levi (uh)

But she might not even notice
'Cause my whole life I had to code-switch
You see my mom was Palestinian
And under the law that wouldn't get me in

But my dad was in a battalion
With the so-called best of IDF men
And I hate to say, but one day they was
On a raid when they raped civilians

Mom was just one of the many of them
Pop took no part in the sins of these men
I was three when Mom died
One night he decided to sneak me in with him

'Cause truth was
Mom was from Gaza
So IDF said
Not our problem

She is not one
We care about
So keep your eyes up, mouth shut
Balaclava

Gaza is gunplay
Kids in the way
Who scream Bibi
Give me one more chance

But nah
No soup for you
You will not see me say it
But you know it's true (yeah)

One thing me and pop similar in
Boy meets girl means a world of friction
But this love in the air could be more
Legendary than Barney Stinson

So don't wait for it brother better regroup
How I Met Your Mother, Palestinian reboot
I know it's dumb starting on a lie but
I don't wanna see that spark fall from her eye

So I
Copped to it like a donut shop
Said my real name's Benny
So you know what's what

But no need for you to duck
What sound like shots
'Cause that booyaka booyaka
That's the sound of my heart

Thoughts? She leaned in and kissed me
Sparks, and then she said so gently
Benny if you really wanna get with me
You gotta learn some more about your history

Cause truth is
I'm from Gaza
That is not something
You can just gloss over

I know it's hard
For you to see
But everything is a part of it
And a part of me
