Hind’s Hall diambil dari gedung Universitas Columbia yang semula bernama Hamilton Hall. Nama gedung tersebut kemudian diganti peserta unjuk rasa menjadi Hind’s Hall, merujuk pada nama seorang anak berusia enam tahun yang tewas di Gaza, Hind Rajab.
Lagu ini dirilis di YouTube resmi milik sang rapper. Ia berjanji bahwa sesaat Hind’s Hall hadir di berbagai layanan streaming, semua hasilnya akan disumbangkan ke badan bantuan PBB, Unrwa.

Dikutip dari The Guardian, dalam lagu barunya itu Macklemore menggambarkan Israel sebagai negara yang harus mengandalkan sistem apartheid untuk menjaga sejarah kekerasan yang telah berulang selama 75 tahun terakhir.
Macklemore juga menyebutkan bahwa ia telah mendapat dukungan dari orang-orang Yahudi sebagai solidaritas terhadap protes pro-Palestina.
“We see the lies in them, claiming it’s antisemitic to be anti-Zionist / I’ve seen Jewish brothers and sisters out there and riding in solidarity and screaming ‘Free Palestine’ with them. (Kami melihat kebohongan di dalam diri mereka, mengklaim bahwa menjadi anti-Zionis adalah antisemit / Saya telah melihat saudara-saudari Yahudi di luar sana dan melakukan solidaritas dan meneriakkan ‘Bebaskan Palestina’ bersama mereka,” demikian sepenggal lirik Hind’s Hall.

Lirik Lagu Hind’s Hall - Macklemore
Adapun lirik lagu Hind’s Hall milik Macklemore secara lengkap adalah sebagai berikut:Verse 1
The people, they won’t leave
What is threatening about divesting and wanting peace?
The problem isn’t the protests, it’s what they’re protesting
Cause it goes against what our country is funding
Block the barricade until Palestine is free
Block the barricade until Palestine is free
When I was 7 I learned a lesson from Cube and Eazy E
What was it again? Oh yea, fuck the police
Verse 2
Actors in badges protecting property
And a system that was designed by white supremacy
But the people are in the streets
You can pay off meta, you can’t pay off me
Politicians who serve by any means
AIPAC and the interests of the companies
You see puppeteers behind the land of the free
But this generation here is about to cut the strings
You can ban TikTok, take us out the algothim
But it’s too late, we’ve seen the truth we bare witness
We’ve seen the ruble the buildings, the mothers the children
And all the men that you murdered and then we see how they spin it
Who gets to the right to defend and who gets the right of resistance
Has always been about dollars and the color of your pigment, but
White supremacy is finally on blast
Screaming free Palestine until they’re home at last
Verse 3
We see the lies in them
Claiming it’s anti-semetic to be anti-zionist
I’ve seen jewish brothers and sisters out there and riding
In solidarity and screaming free Palestine with em
Organizing, unlearning, and finally cutting ties with
A State that’s gotta rely on an apartheid system
To uphold an occupying violent
History been repeating for the last 75
The Nakba never ended, the colonizer lied
If some kids in tents, posted on the lawn
Occupying the quad is really against the law
And a reason to call in the police and their squad
Where does genocide land in your definition huh?
Destroying every college in Gaza and every mosque
pushing everyone into rafah and dropping bombs
The blood is on your hands Biden, we can see it all
And fuck no, I’m not voting for you in the fall
Undecided, you can’t twist the truth
The people out here united
Never be defeated when Freedom’s on the horizon
Yet the music industry’s quiet, complicit in their platform of silence
Verse 4
What happened to the artist? What do you got to say?
If I was on a label, you could drop me today
I’d be fine with it cause the heart fed my page
I want a ceasefire, fuck a response from drake
What you willing to risk? What you willing to give?
What if you were Gaza? What if those were your kids?
If the west was pretending that you didn’t exist
You’d want the world to stand up and the students finally did
Let’s get it
