Professor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Building all your walls
I'm hoping that you are
counting your blessings
People on the street
Hating what they see
Hope is running thin
No one to believe in
Man it's the sign of an Intifada
Oh the sign of an Intifada
You can see the sign of an intifada
Oh the sign of an intifada
Everybody
Everybody dies
Nothing ever lasts
Fearing everyone
Nothing to rely on
Hating what they see
cursing all of them
Hope is running thin
No one to believe in
Oh it's the sign of an Intifada
Man it's the sign of an Intifada
You can see the sign of an intifada
Oh it's the sign of an intifada
Everybody
I'm calling out to all Semitic Nations
What about the next generation
I'm calling out to all Semitic Nations
Think about the younger generation
hungry! with no education
No where! free elections (2x)
The song "Intifada" by Professor expresses the frustration of people living under oppressive regimes, who are forced to endure the building of walls, fear of dying, and the dwindling of hope with no one to believe in. The lyrics refer to the term "Intifada," which is an Arabic word that means "violent uprising" or "rebellion." The song implies that the signs of an Intifada are evident in the form of hatred, cursing and a general hopelessness among the people.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Man it's the sign of an Intifada" twice, followed by "You can see the sign of an intifada." The repetition reinforces the theme of the song, which is that people are reaching a tipping point and that a violent rebellion may be on the horizon unless something changes. The final lyrics of the song are a call to action to all Semitic nations to think about the next generation, which is hungry and uneducated, and to work towards free elections as a means of creating a more equitable society.
Overall, the song is a powerful message advocating for change and equality, delivered through poignant lyrics and an evocative melody. Professor uses his voice to raise awareness of the injustices faced by people living in oppressive regimes, and to inspire people to work towards creating a better future for themselves and future generations.
