Drake

[Verse 1]
Am                     C              G       F
Wanna hear a sad story? 'Bout a land full of glory 
                   Am          C       G      F
Palestine, the diamond in the rough 
                        Am             C        G       F
Yeah, we ain't never had it easy, but we tough 

Am                       C          G      F
Born in the struggle, raised in the fight 
                   Am            C           G        F
Gotta keep our heads up, shining bright 
Am                     C         G        F
Love for our land, hope in our eyes 
                        Am           C                G           F
Middle finger to the haters telling us lies 

[Chorus]
Am                        C                    G              F
We holdin' it down, never backin' down 
                     Am             C       G           F
Palestinian pride, we wear the crown 
                  Am          C              G                     F
Through the pain, we find strength 
                        Am              C            G       F
Surviving in this world full of hate

We ain't playin' games, we reachin' goals 
                  Am         C         G                F
Hope for a future, unity in our sight 
                     Am           C            G          F
Palestine standin' tall, ready to fight

In the face of adversity, we stay buggin'

Love and hope, the energy we crave

Palestinian fire, burnin' from within

Yeah, we rise up, can't hold us back 
                   Am              C                G          F
Palestinian love, ain't no lack 
                   Am         C                  G             F
Hope for tomorrow, in our hands

Palestine, we'll forever stand 

Sure, based on the vibe and lyrical content of "Palestine Fire," here's a recommended framework for the drum beat and tempo:

Tempo

• BPM (Beats Per Minute): 90
  • This tempo provides a steady, strong, and heartfelt rhythm that complements the lyrical message.

Drum Beat Structure

• Verse Beat Pattern:

  • Kick Drum: On beats 1 and 3
  • Snare Drum: On beats 2 and 4
  • Hi-Hats: Eighth notes (steady constant hits)

  For example:

  | K - - - S - - - | K - - - S - - - |
  | H H H H H H H H | H H H H H H H H |

• Chorus Beat Pattern:

  • Kick Drum: On beats 1 and 3, with extra syncopation (add a kick on the 'and' of 3)
  • Snare Drum: On beats 2 and 4 (with extra accents)
  • Hi-Hats: Switch to sixteenth notes for more intensity

  For example:

  | K - - - S - - - | K - - k S - - - |
  | H h H h H h H h | H h H h H h H h |

Note: 'H' represents hi-hat, 'K' represents kick drum, 'S' represents snare drum, 'h' represents an eighth-note hi-hat, and 'k' represents additional kick accent.

Additional Elements

• Bridge or Breakdown:
  • Reduce hi-hat activity, focus on toms and floor toms for a more tribal and raw sound that emphasizes resilience and strength.
  • Keep the snare on 2 and 4, but add rolls and fills for dynamic variation.

These suggestions should provide a solid foundation for the rhythm section that underscores the powerful narrative of the song.
