Some of them come now
Some of the running
Some of them looking for fun
Some of them looking for away out of confusion
Some of them don't know where to be
Some of them don't know where to go
Some of them trust their instincts
That somethings missing from the show
Some don't fit society
Their insides are crying low
Some of them teachers squashed the flame
'fore it had a chance to grow
Some of them embers still glow
Them charcoal hushed and low
Some of them come with hunger supressed
Not fed them feel the death blow, yo
[CHORUS:]
Young man control in your hand
Slam your fist on the table
And make your demand
Take a stand
Fan a fire for the flame of the youth
Got the freedom to choose
You better make the right move
Young man, the power's in your hand
Slam your fist on the table and make your demand
You better make the right move
"youth is the engine of the world"
Storm the halls of vanity
Focus your energy
Into a laser beam
Streaming shattered light
Unites to pierce between the seams
And it seems
The world open peering
The children see
Rapid fire for your mind
Half a truth is just a lie
They rub me the wrong way
They say their way or fall behind
Seventeen disconnect left out
The concept as to why
There's a spiritual emptiness
So the youth them get vexed
Skip class and get wrecked
Feel with beer and cigarettes
To fill the hole in their chest!
[CHORUS]
Just a castaway
An island lost at sea
Another lonely day
With no one here but me
More loneliness
Than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair
I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle
A year has passed since I wrote my note
But I should have known straight from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life
But love can break your heart
I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle
TV's a jet stream haul off until tomorrow
Internet flat screen what's the message in your bottle
She'll be comin around the mountain when she comes full throttle
Battleaxe can chop em down that's the call of the wild
There's no message in your bottle emptiness its just hollow
Think the way to wake up is through sex that's just shallow
Tossing seed into the wind producin loss and sorrow
Jackals on MTV sucking blood from the marrow
Hearts hardened like stone wantin to be known like Pharaoh
â'Said to let me people go that's just the call of the wild
Children drowning in the rivers
...hard to swallow
If its roots are cut off how we can feed this flower
Might look pretty temporary but rooting within the hour
Disconnected from its source with no footsteps to follow
Chasing death discribes life like a bridge that's narrow.
Walked out this morning
Don't believe what I saw
A hundred billion bottles
Washed up on the shore
Seems I'm not alone at being alone
A hundred billion castaways
Looking for a home
I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle
See I been gone for so long where my mind been at
wont you please wake me up wont you please bring me back
daydream fantasy and my mind well asleep

[CHORUS]
You light up my lamp;
Hashem my God illuminates my darkness.
Rise at midnight and sing songs till the dawn,
King David said it best
Slap me Daft, we sat down in the back of the class
To seize knowledge we don't need, I forgot my late pass
But I'm early to a arival beatbox, you got raps?
Meet me on the football field, don't sleep on field, the quarterback
No one clapped when we locked in, it was removal of our class
But my flag got captured and I fell between the cracks
My tool for inspiration turned into a handicap
No matter how I tried, I just couldn't fill the gaps
Those whipper snappers, they got trapped old chap
They lost the way, they never had the right map
Needed a sneak attack to slap the demons off my back
So I packed for the schddle dreamed big I wouldn't settle
Put the pedal to the metal and returned to fundamentals
I'll never forget running through the hall with all y'all rebels
Roaming through the high land, young bucks invincible
Echoes in my brain, if kids report to the principle
Substance dulls the mind
Traife wine clouds the heart
You can't sew a stitch with one hand
While you're taking it apart
Bright lights might look nice
But they sure won't make you sharp
You can't sew a stitch with one hand
While you're taking it apart
Yeah, misty morning and my mum's a mess
To make matters worse dog my pops is stressed
Life is a test, make the grade or catch an F
Now death is all that's left to ponder
I wander off hoping to catch my breath
Yeah, misty morning and my mum's a mess
To make matters worse dog my pops is stressed
Life is a test, make the grade or catch an F
Now death is all that's left to ponder
I wander off hoping to catch my breath
And hold it, mold my memories from untold scripts
And roll up in a tornado twist, now I'm certain
There's a pertinent reason I'm on this earth
Seasons change in white plains, but we remain alert
When new school years appear, fools fear for a failure
And crawl away in tears
I play Popeye the Sailor and stay with spinach
We walk the halls with a grimace
Yeah they gossip in groups
I try to mind my business and tell the truth
For instance, I listen, see it all with basketball court vision
Ignoring ignorance in fields of fiction
We lean back in the calmest position
And embrace the honesty found within our tension
What's good?
Substance dulls the mind
Traife wine clouds the heart
You can't sew a stitch with one hand
While you're taking it apart
Bright lights make you blind
But they sure don't leave you sharp
You can't sew a stitch with one hand
While you're taking it apart
Trapped in the elevator of your mind
Is it real, what will you find behind the door
Your imaginations put you in a bind
Around you there's a cloud of gloom
Swallow the key, lock yourself in a room
Can't see outside of your Universe
No more war, there won't be anymore hunger
No jealousy, not even competition
Let go, release, you hold the keys
Time we evaporate into the breeze
We are nothing, we are something
Let go, release, you hold the keys
It's time we evaporate into the breeze
We are nothing, we'll be something
Welcome to the desert of my soul
You can stay if you like
There's room for one more
Slap me Daft, we sat down in the back of the class

Welcome to the desert of my soul
You can stay if you like
There's room for one more
There's room for one more
My soul thirsts for you
My flesh longs for you
In a land parched and weary
With no water
So too in the sanctuary
To have beheld you
Your might
And your glory
Instru
[Chorus]
Jerusalem, if I forget you,
fire not gonna come from me tongue.
Jerusalem, if I forget you,
let my right hand forget what it's supposed to do.
In the ancient days, we will return with no delay
Picking up the bounty and the spoils on our way
We've been traveling from state to state
And them don't understand what they say
3,000 years with no place to be
And they want me to give up my milk and honey
Don't you see, it's not about the land or the sea
Not the country but the dwelling of his majesty
[chorus]
Rebuild the temple and the crown of glory
Years gone by, about sixty
Burn in the oven in this century
And the gas tried to choke, but it couldn't choke me
I will not lie down, I will not fall asleep
They come overseas, yes they're trying to be free
Erase the demons out of our memory
Change your name and your identity
Afraid of the truth and our dark history
Why is everybody always chasing we
Cut off the roots of your family tree
Don't you know that's not the way to be
[chorus]
Caught up in these ways, and the worlds gone craze
Don't you know it's just a phase
Case of the Simon says
If I forget the truth then my words won't penetrate
Babylon burning in the place, can't see through the haze
Chop down all of them dirty ways,
That's the price that you pay for selling lies to the youth
No way, not ok, oh no way, not ok, hey
Aint no one gonna break my stride
Aint no one gonna pull me down
Oh no, I got to keep on moving
Stay alive
[chorus]

[verse 1]
Fire descends from on high in the shape of a lion
Burn the sacrifice of pride and ride on Mount Zion
Rub me the wrong way, taking the highway
Rubbing sticks together but your fire's man-made
Capitalize on hot air, soar like an airplane
Yearn to rise in the sky quick high like cocaine
False pride is suicide but you've got nothing to gain
Babylon's buildings raise like flames
Drowning in their champagne
Explosion pulled the pin in the hand grenade
Soul stain blowing up
In your own domain
Fire crackers ohh and aah
But they never maintain
[bridge]
Fires burning
Flames are dancing
Don't burn the house down Lord
Heavenly fire only resides on an alter made from the ground
[chorus]
Fire descends on high in the shape of a lion
Burn the sacrifice of pride and ride on to Mount Zion
[repeat 2x]
[verse 2]
One pair of eyes
But see two different things
One person cries but the other one sings
You walk around like everybody owes ya something
Take what you got, thank G-d for all that life brings
The poor man has it all but not content with anything
While the rich man's hands are empty but he's sitting like a kind
[bridge]
[verse 3]
Backpack's geting heavey, moving at a steady pace
Carrying bricks on your shoulders and lead around your waist
Making way, run in haste
There is no time to taste what you ate
WE should be grateful got a plateful
Fire burns like ice morcels falling fire like rain
[chorus]

Take what you got, thank G-d for all that life brings
The poor man has it all but not content with anything
While the rich man's hands are empty but he's sitting like a king
Fires burning
Flames are dancing
Don't burn the house down
Heavenly fire only resides on an altar made from the ground
Backpacks's getting heavy, moving at a steady pace
Carry bricks on your shoulders and lead around your waist
Making way, run in haste
There is no time to taste what you ate
We should be grateful Got a plateful
Fire burns like ice morsels falling fire like rain
(Chorus)
You're a warrior fighting for your soul
Taken from the world above and brought down the world below
You're the son of his majesty
Remember how it used to be
In the light of day it's easy to see
Now it's nighttime
You had to leave
Separated from the king
Now the water's rushing and you keep trying to swim against the stream
And it seems, like your not moving the many water's gushing you gasp for air
Almost drowning ears ringing, once upon a time we were singing
One day the trees will stand and clap hands
Stream of thought getting caught in the klipa, this place is just a shell, external
Egos swell, that one'll burn ya, we fell a long way down, that eternal frown'll get you
You look vexed it's the dregs, the yetzer hara's lurking
Trying to make you forget we got a job to do
you can't be moved and your a priest and a prince
Chorus: You're a warrior, Fighting for your soul
Taken from a world above, and brought down to a world below
Re-united, re-united return the princess to the king,
Re-united, re-united, she's been taken for so long
Re-unite them, re-unite and then she'll be filled with joy
Re-unite them , re-unite like the days of her youth
Descended to the pit
What's this feeling can't get rid of it
Soul sick
Can't seem to shake it
When one retires at night weeping, joy will come in the morning
You made my mountain stand strong
Chorus
Like and ancient memory
Remember how it used to be
Close your eyes and breath in
That's the scent of freedom
Ringing across the sea
Land of milk and honey
One day will wake up from this sleep and we'll stop dreaming,
Oh, yo, then we'll see clearly
Chorus
From the forest itself comes the hand for the ax
Split this wilderness listen up this ain't where it's at
Clear a path so that you could find your way back
Chop 'em down, chop 'em down; chop 'em down, chop 'em down
Time flies by like clouds passing in the sky lifetimes hear and gone like the blink of an eye
March through this desert one-step at a time, march through the desert one step at a time
From the forest itself comes the handle for the ax,
Drop the staff Moshe rabbainu split the ocean in half,
March through the desert this ain't where it's at
Chop 'em down, Chop 'em down
Patterns engraved not so easily erased, still wandering trying to find your place
Playing the game I see pain on your face now a day's the yiddin like children sold as slaves
Strange ways running through the maze, strange ways always lost in the desert trying to
find to find your place lost in the desert trying to find your place
From the forest itself comes the handle for the ax,
Drop the staff Moshe rabbainu split the ocean in half,
March through the desert this ain't where it's at
Chop 'em down, Chop 'em down
Joseph descended sold as a slave,
thrown into a dungeon cause he wouldn't be swayed
Interpreted pharaoh's dreams and Egypt was saved
stock piled food for seven years of rain
then sold to all the nations when the drought came
Joseph rose to power and the yiddin stayed
They started to build and success was made
Pharos getting worried let's make them pay bound in chains
First born was sent down to their graves
Moshe was saved and a prince he was raised
Hashem spoke to him hears a message to relay
Take my Nation from Mitzrayim (Egypt) I see the suffering
Hard hearts ego breaks take sparks and make way
Trail blaze through the wasteland breaking the chains
Last generation just the ruminants
March through the desert leaving footprints
Peel off the lid this is just plastic, get into it, get into it
Heavy hitter stepping solid never quitter jump into the ocean before it split got a jump into it
Rip through Egypt rip through it,
get into it, 600,000 witnessed it, no you didn't forget
In the spiritual desert things are not what they seem
snakes camouflaged just fit the scene
Put your faith in a mirage it's just a smoke screen
The king is sitting on his thrown of glory
Fire descends from on high in the shape of a lion
Burn the sacrifice of pride and ride on to Mount Zion
2x
Rub me the wrong way, taking the highway
Rubbing sticks together but your fire's man-made
Capitalize on hot air, soar like an airplane
Yearn to rise in the sky quick high like cocaine
False pride is suicide but you've got nothing to gain
Babylon's buildings rise like flames
Drowning in their champagne
Explosion pulled the pin in the hand grenade
Soul stain blowing up in your own domain
Firecrackers ooh and ahh but they never maintain
Fire's burning, flames are dancing, don't burn the house down low
Heavenly fire only resides on an altar made from the ground
Fire descends from on high in the shape of a lion
Burn the sacrifice of pride and ride on to Mount Zion

Fire's burning, flames are dancing, don't burn the house down low
Heavenly fire only resides on an altar made from the ground
Backpack's getting heavy, moving at a steady pace
Carrying bricks on your shoulders and lead around your waist
Making way, run in haste
There's no time to tase what you ate
We should be grateful, got a plateful
Fire burns like ice morsels falling fire like rain
Fire descends from on high in the shape of a lion
Burn the sacrifice of pride and ride on to Mount Zion
2x
You should be more subtle
You could keep your hustle
Keep your laughing
Keep your chuckle
Flashing muscle brass knuckle
Bust your bubble gum pop
Take off the muzzle
Hate to ruffle feathers
Raking _____ ??
Struggle through the rubble
Concrete jungle
Brisk and brustle
Slip and shuffle
Stumble into trouble
Spirit rumble in the temple
Mumble nothing
You should be more humble
In the continental call your bluff
Your puffin' smoke is fundamental
In this ocean you're a pebble
Fire's burning, flames are dancing, don't burn the house down low.
Heavenly fire, only resides, in an altar made from the ground.
The place lays phased like a warrior slayed
Engraved into the space with his sword still raised
Layers of charcoal sprayed through hallways
Praise relays off the walls echoin' always
Dirt covered earth lays beneath my rib cage
Givin' birth to overgrowth invadin' on to path ways
Burnt out trees cover streets where children once played
Sown seeds decay through sacred steppin' stones in disarray
Where the alter used to be placed
Interchanged for bloodstains
Sunrays illuminate smoke filled haze
Trace of incense, scents of sacrifice stayed
Aish Tamid eternally, fire burns continuously
Wondering where you've been, won't you come on home to me?
Aish Tamid eternally, a fire burns continuously
Wondering where you've been, won't you, won't you come to me?
Flashback, patches of grass growin' wild in fact
Cracked walls burnt black like a kingdom sacked
Memories like artifacts attacked yet still intact
Melodies wrapped in glass shatter with the impact
Air interminglin', ringin' with the singin'
Of songs once sung, flung, hung into the rafters
Catastrophe struck, the sound stuck, disaster plastered
The aftermath a blasted buildin' still standin'
Like a starved man fasting the skies expandin'
Clouds passin', dust particles dancin' in broken bars of light
Streamin' from a shaft slashed into the ceilin'
Shh, you could feel the ground breathin'
Aish Tamid eternally, fire burns continuously
Wondering where you've been, won't you come on home to me?
Aish Tamid eternally, a fire burns continuously
Wondering where you've been, won't you, won't you come to me?
Daughter of Zion is lyin' cryin' in the mist
Mornin' light slips in siftin' through the darkness
Like a mornin' wife reminisce
Having visions of her long gone prince
Memory drips, rain drops tip
Towin' emptiness
Intermixed with tears
Like fears left unfixed
Walls worn thin, frozen fortress
Like dawn waitin' for a day that got skipped
Like a life gone wrong wanderin' wilderness
Lovesick stripped abyss [Incomprehensible] once luscious
Aish Tamid eternally, fire burns continuously
Wondering where you've been, won't you come on home to me?
Aish Tamid eternally, a fire burns continuously
Wondering where you've been, won't you, won't you come to me?
Paint the scene, so you can see city pickin' up speed
On a bench 14th street, taxis streamin' yellow streaks
Spears piercing through my ears, you could hear the traffic speak
Jack hammers drill smackin' through the sizzling concrete
Windowsills spilling tangled telephone wires
Signs sparking neon lights flashin' like wildfire
My insides rise, I start to feel paralyzed
Let out a sigh, a melody blew by like an ancient war cry
Sunlight hit the trees, it really caught my eye
Glistenin', listenin' to the breeze
Dancin' through the trees, freeze
The city goes in slow motion like a dream
I'm left empty like a temple turned into a fox den
Bus fumes drippin', spittin' into city summer sun
Siftin' through the ash
Dimly lit vision listenin'
To the hiss liftin' off a nighttime ocean
Shim, shim, shimmerin', singein' hair on my skin
Whispering where ya been?
Glim, glim, glimmerin'
From amidst the darkness set sail with the softness
Breeze travelin' across the seas arisen from within Mt. Zion
Wind comin' in, pickin' up momentum
Cuttin' crisply through the darkness ridin' on a rhythm
A rollercoaster sizzlin'
Twistin' down the mountain
Rippin' rocket ship explodin' like a fountain
Overflowin', spillin' through the courtyard of Jerusalem
Uncoverin' debris, liftin' up the fallen arisen within'
To reach the yiddin
Even in Manhattan, exposed Menorah
Glowin' in the shadows of destruction
Trailblazin' through affliction
Brushin' off the branches
Golden standin' strong, flames dancin'
Oh in this life filled with so much strife
I'm gonna love with all of my might
Open my eyes and give me the sight
Want all of your love now all of the time
Give ya my soul now all of my mind
Wish I could just hit rewind rewind
CHORUS
Oh we must fight the war for survival we must win
And we will rise again like the strongest lion
Oh we must fight the war for survival we must win
Conquer the demons cause we won't stop tryin
Oh my soul has been so low
Make them clouds fade to blue
So my love can shine on through
Shine on you
Circlin ramp one night
Lyin on my back watchin clouds in the sky
Ace pass by and the angels cry
Some of them might wanna wonder why
Circlin all them seven skies
Wish I could just press rewind press rewind press rewind
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Oh I could let you go oh oh I love
Oh I got to follow on high tightrope
Sax solo
CHORUS
Shine on you
Shine on you
Shine on you
Oh my soul
Oh my soul
Oh my soul
Oh my soul
Exaltation, my G-d of salvation
The field and there in will be filled with jubilation
The lord's name will be proclaimed amongst the Nations
We don't have no time for patience
Heavens rejoice and the earth will exalt
Oh no, come swing back like a catapult
The sea and its fullness will roar
He is our help and our shield our soul yearns for the lord
Burning G-d of Yaacov everlasting stronghold
Break down the door I can't hold back no more
Wait all night long, until the early morning
Like night watchmen wait for the dawning
Arise, be our help
Place my trust in your kindness
It's a must hoping in the G-d of deliverance
Since way back when before time began
Existing eternally, everlasting, rejoice in the name of his majesty so we sing
Chant sweet melodies, utter hymns and sing praise to his name
For he's alone exalted holy,
Performing mighty deeds and making new things,
Sowing righteousness and creating healing
He spoke, the world came into being
Master of praise, renews each day
Redeems and saves, continuously, blessed is his name
Making great lights, creating luminaries
Abounding in mercy
Won't you grant me?

Yih'yu l'ratzon imrei fi V'hegyon libi l'fanecha, adonai tzuri*
I will crush my fantasy,
bring me olive oil crushed for his majesty
to shine a warmth into eternity, this is an eternal decree,
We'll dance like flames for there's no gravity,
for now I'm just a candle trying to stay lit in this windy night.
Got to crush my fantasies of how this life is supposed to be
Bring my broken heart to an invisible king with a hope
one day you might answer me, so I pray don't you abandon me.
Your silence kills me;
I wouldn't have it any other way.
Is it wrong to think you might speak to me?
You might speak, would it be words and what would you say?
It's so heavy a heavy price to pay
your silence.
*(translation: Let it be your will that my words of
my mouth and the meditations of my heart come before
[Verse 1:]
Keep on moving to the first rays of dawn
Keeping it on till the sun moves on
Keepin till the night time all along
On and on- I keep singing my song
I said, these ways aren't those ways
Sometimes I get so fased
But just know that ill always stay
Cause your my light through the haze
[Chorus:]
Its time for a champion
Soothe the soul of the land
Mend the heart from the sea and the sand
Until the sun comes up again [x2]
Reach for the sky
Keep your eye on the prize
Forever by my side
Your my golden sunshine
Fits raining in your mind
So push those clouds aside
Forever by my side
Your my golden sun
[Verse 2:]
Sunset I let myself down
Found the ground beneath my heart gone
No more words were there to speak
On that day my song was born
Never meant to leave you all alone
Said I'd be your shelter from the storm
Now your clothes have all been torn
Kingdom sacked attacked and dethroned
[Chorus]
Reach for the sky
Keep your eye on the prize
Forever by my side
Your my golden sunshine
Fits raining in your mind
So push those clouds aside
Forever by my side
Your my golden sun
It's the way of the world
Your on your own
Time to grow and be a man
Want to fly high like peter pan
No more never never land
So loose your backpack filled with sand
Come along now take my hand
We'll walk together- walk forever
Reach for the sky
Keep your eye on the prize
Forever by my side
Your my golden sunshine
Fits raining in your mind
So push those clouds aside
Forever by my side
Your my golden sun
Reach for the sky
Keep your eye on the prize
Forever by my side
Your my golden sunshine
Fits raining in your mind
So push the clouds aside
Forever by my side
The world is dyin' the world is cryin'
World goes blind while the boy is lying
The house is burnin the children mourning their father's death
While world it keeps turning
One more day of pain has passed
While he lies in the sand on his back
Lookin' through the cracks in the sky sunsets
And all drowns in twilight
The desert stretches on for one more day
The girl pleads to him don't go away
His lips they move but got nothing to say
Stares blankly threw her face
Recollection of his brothers as they played
The world is black the earth is cracked
A child with no arms lyin on his back
No where to go in the middle of this cold
In the middle of this earth spinnin out of control
Did I have moments that were worth living for
I took the gun they gave me through it down on the floor
They chopped off my arms threw me out of the door
I am a murderer
I'm runnin in the desert runnin into the the sun
Runnin out of blood and I'm goin' numb
I'm runnin and you're runnin
And we're runnin and we're runnin' on empty
I'm runnin in this maze till I reach the sea
My heart burns up inside of me
Burnt and charred from this desert heat
My heart burns up inside of me
And the pain with in is the pain outside
The desert right here is a reflection of my life
Just as brutal as I am the sun me and the desert we are one
I am a murderer
Only the dead souls know I'm alive
They want me to lie down by their side
These are the demons that passed through my life
That killed me over a thousand times
I don't run I don't flee I don't fight
I don't make fun but don't flex my might
I don't act dumb but don't shine my light
I sit down on the ground till the time is right
They seek my demise and rely
On my dark side to give into the night
All those desperate ghosts stuck souls trapped in black holes
Became wearwolves stolen souls wanna see me bleed
It's a new day a new way,
It's gone it's dooms day for those who hold on to old ways
Your grip is so strong you choke and you swallow
And leave the place torn
So tread lightly no need to fight me
No need to be right it's so frightening
Soul like dust and flash like lightning
I slip through your grip cause you hold so tightly
I didn't stop nah I'm just becoming
I'm not finished nah I'm just arriving
I'm not done don't know where I'm going
Not afraid not to know and keep growing
Once you know you're dead and not living
We're the reflection of imperfection
We come from the infinite place of limitation
Rejoice in these days, make a correction
We're the completion
Lights out, down for the count and can't get up
Meanwhile the enemy screams the boy is stuck
And the legs of the king are dangling in a rut
Falling pieces, lost sparks, hearts cut
We're not alone in the madness
If we're here, then so are you
Deepest caverns underground
We've been taken for the truth
Scrape my knees, on the hurdles
Face down in the puddles
The only one who'll get us out of this mess
The one who put us here
I've got a spear driven through my ear
Can't you hear the sound, crystal clear
Pistols smashing chandeliers
Long for brooks of water like the deer
A man is just a man, filled with faults and weakness
Four A.M., Jerusalem, all alone and speechless
And nighttime, nobody's home, roam streets in darkness
I feel I'm just a man, flesh and bones, homeless
A man is just a man, filled with faults and weakness
Four A.M., Jerusalem, all alone and speechless
And nighttime, nobody's home, roam streets in darkness
Feel I'm just a man
Planting seeds, they won't sink in
I'm dried up, like the desert earth, how could these seeds give birth
Water me down, liquefy, I will not be cursed
From one into a million disperse
Wisdom reigns like water from the heavens to below
Crush my earth, seeds grow, garden starts to grow
You know you've got to rise, although you like to flow
You can't keep staring out the window
Earth, water, wind, fire
We stay low while getting higher
Spark igniter, fighting tired
Stay wired, enlighten loads
Fly alive, weep wail chant, cry, let out a sigh
Energized, give out my last dime, life shouldn't pass me by
Rise, to the occasion
Keep these hearts all blazin'
Build your life on a river of wax
Melt into space
We've been here since the beginning
Not going away, not going away
A man is just a man, filled with faults and weakness
Four A.M., Jerusalem, all alone and speechless
And nighttime, nobody's home, roam streets in darkness
I feel I'm just a man, flesh and bones, homeless
A man is just a man, filled with faults and weakness
Four A.M., Jerusalem, all alone and speechless
And nighttime, nobody's home, roam streets in darkness
I said, ?You're all that I have and you're all that I need"
Each and every day I pray to get to know you please
I want to be close to you, yes, I'm so hungry
You're like water for my soul when it gets thirsty
Without you there's no me, you're the air that I breathe
Sometimes the world is dark and I just can't see
With these demons surround all around to bring me down to negativity
But I believe, yes I believe, I said, ?I believe?
I'll stand on my own two feet, won't be brought down on one knee
I'll fight with all of my might and get these demons to flee
Hashem's rays fire blaze burn bright and I believe
Hashem's rays fire blaze burn bright and I believe
Out of darkness comes light, a twilight unto the heights
Crown heights burnin' up all through the twilight
Said, "I thank you" to my God, now I finally got it right
And I'll fight with all of my heart and all my soul and all my might
What's this feeling? My love will rip a hole through the ceiling
I give myself to you from the essence of my being
An' I sing to my God, these songs of love an' healing
I want Mashiach now, so it's time we start revealing
What's this feeling?
Me no want no Sinsemilla, that would only bring me down
Burn away my brain, no way, my brain is too compound
Elevated my soul, you're a flying my sound
Like the sun of a sun ray burning up through a cloud
Say, Torah food for my brain, let it rain till I drown
Thunder, let the blessings come down
Say, Torah food for my brain, let it rain till I drown
Strip away the layers and reveal your soul
Give yourself up and then you become whole
You're a slave to yourself and you don't even know
You want to live the fast life but your brain moves slow
If you're trying to stay high, then you're bound to stay low
You want God but you can't deflate your ego
If you're already there, then there's nowhere to go
If you're cup's already full, then it's bound to overflow
If you're drowning out in the waters and you can't stay afloat
Ask Hashem for mercy and he'll throw you a rope
You're looking for help from God, you say he couldn't be found
Looking up to the sky and searchin' beneath the ground
Like a king without his crown, yes, I wanna get down
A king without his crown, yes, you keep fallin' down
You really want to live but can't get rid of your frown
Try reach him to the heights and wound down, down, down, down
Say what's this feeling? My love will rip a hole through the ceiling
I give myself to you from the essence of my being
An' I sing to my God, these songs of love an' healing
I want Mashiach now, and it's time we start revealing
Said, ?I'm reelin' him in, I reel him in
Where ya been, where ya been for so long for so long?
It's hard to stay strong
I've been livin' in Galus for like too long?
I said, ?Where ya been, a where ya been for so long for so long??
What's this feeling? My love will rip a hole through the ceiling
I give myself to you from the essence of my being
An' I sing to my God, these songs of love an' healing
I want Mashiach now, and it's time we start revealing
What's this feeling? My love will rip a hole through the ceiling
I give myself to you from the essence of my being
An' I sing to my God, these songs of love an' healing
I want Mashiach now, and it's time we start revealing
Said, ?I'm reelin' him in, where ya been, where ya been??
I said, ?I reelin' him in, where ya been for so long? Oh
Where ya been for so long? It's hard to stay strong
Been livin' in exile for?
[Chorus 1: X2]
Fear nobody but his Majesty
My spirit, you’ll be deep
For you I wait, silently
It seems that you believe in me
Indestructible, digging through the rubble
Bubblin’, we don’t need no more trouble
Never had this cold vision, hot hot friction
Like I’m running a muck upon a rhythm
Stay on a plan so you don’t lose the vision
Stay sizzlin’, pitter patter in the pan just like drizzling from the ceiling you're feeling it
Your breathin’ it
You put on your glasses and you see through it
[Chorus 2: X2]
(Fear no one) Fear nobody but his Majesty
My spirit, you’ll be deep
(His Majesty) For you I wait, silently
It seems that you believe in me
Some of them run, run, runnin’ like a rat on a wheel
Try feel fine, a new deal
Who is there? Ticket for a meal
This world is real, on the heels of a final generation
I remember that day in November
Standing on a roof and I’m feeling so tender
All shook up, like I’ve been in the blender
Fend off the demons in the park after dark
Lend me your hand, I want to be a member
Spent too much and now I’m rendered…dead
Mend these wounds, we got to find a common thread
Want to fly in the sky but ya heavy like lead
[Chorus 2: X2]
Just a tool in the hands of the builder
Fill them with the strength to go further
Digging deep for eternal treasure
Stay away from quick sand and false pleasure
Them mouth’s speak with arrogance
Appearance like a lion lurking in the mist
They surround and they gaze their fix
Grab the rope of God’s heritage
[Chorus 2: X2]
Release me from their schemes
My distress you will relea-
-shield me on the path that’s dark and slippery
Basic deception and futility
I stand with integrity
Sneak to the roof of that building
Don’t want nobody here to see me
They’re saying that I’m living in a fantasy
But I believe if I did keep
And I bleed in sincerity
Won’t you utterly remove the cloud hanging over me
Won’t you wave that decree in the shade of your wings
Shelter me from the wicked who have plundered me
From my mortal enemies, won’t you shield me…
You quench my thirsting soul and you fill my appetite
I give myself to you because you treat me right
Put my trust in the world and the world gets tight
Shift my trust to you it's like a crystal clear night
Expand in all directions get the sections to unite
Hashem's rays fire blaze light my way light of my life
And these days well wait no longer night
I´m reaching for my God like skyscrapers in the night
I said I know it's hard inside is empty galus (exile) cuts like a knife
Internalize torah vibes bound to feel alright
Chorus:
Whirlwind of praise from below to above
Take flight in the sky got wings like a dove,
We Soaring to shamayim (heaven) where the angels call in love
And the glory of Hashem fits like a glove
Hashem rules the world and Israel is his wife
Love you yes my God with all my heart my soul and my might
When I feel you by my side yes I'm flying like a kite
When I feel you by my side yes I'm soaring like a kite
You open up my eyes and give me sight
Super energized and everyday I feel you give me life
I seen the ways of the world intoxifying on pride
Young man don't you know drugs impurify your mind
When Israel left mitzrayim four fifths got left behind
If you got no water how you gonna survive
Roots lead you to the well springs so you could stay alive
Pharaoh claimed to be a God and claimed to make the Nile
A crocodile could smile and show his teeth
You could see beauty shining externally but that's the story of Greece
Inside America bleeds, Israel won't you get up from your knees
Its just lies in disguise Torah's truth won't you please alive
Given to the humble one on Mt. Sinai
Chorus
Shma Y'sroel, Hashem Elokainu, Hashem Echad
(Hear Israel, the lord is our God, the lord is one)
The world could just crumble to dust it's just us it's not two it's just one
The middle road called truth, Torah you sooth my brain bruise
Open up peruse with knowledge of God
And move up an arousal from below till the secrets start to ooze
Don't snooze it's pure light the most high wants us alive
What's the proof?
We got life!
Chabad philosophy that's the deepest well-spring
Gaining knowledge of God while your gaining money
Fill up yourself with the light of his majesty
In a world of separation that's the only way to be
It's time we leave we won't flee just walk out easily
If you got no water how you gonna survive
and i remember when i was running after you
and you know it's true
i know sometimes i've been down so blue
but it's not about that 'cause you know what to do
not about the he said, she said, you said, i said
not about the show, not about the flow or the song i write
early days and the late late night
i'm on my way to you
i'm on my way to you
i believe in love, sittin so high in the sea
i believe in love, not my reasons to be
believe in love, yeah
now i'm free
it's not about the trains, or the planes or the automobiles
this is about the way that you make me feel
swear of lies, this is something real
said something but it's time we heal
it's not about the fast life in my past life
i asked you to be in my life
i know sometimes this love it cuts like a knife
but i want to end this strife
i'm on my way to you
i'm on my way to you
i believe in love, sittin so high in the sea
i believe in love, not my reasons to be
believe in love, yeah
now i'm free
i believe in love, sittin so high in the sea
i believe in love, not my reasons to be
believe in love, yeah
now i'm free
i believe in love, sittin so high in the sea
i believe in love, not my reasons to be
believe in love, yeah
Fire descends from on high in the shape of a lion
Burn the sacrifice of pride and ride on Mount Zion
Rub me the wrong way, taking the highway
Rubbing sticks together but your fire's man-made
Capitalize on hot air, soar like an airplane
Yearn to rise in the sky quick high like cocaine
False pride is suicide but you've got nothing to gain
Babylon's buildings raise like flames
Drowning in their champagne
Explosion pulled the pin in the hand grenade
Soul stain blowing up
In your own domain
Fire crackers ohh and aah
But they never maintain
Fires burning
Flames are dancing
Don't burn the house down Lord
Heavenly fire only resides on an alter made from the ground
Fire descends on high in the shape of a lion
Burn the sacrifice of pride and ride on to Mount Zion
One pair of eyes
But see two different things
One person cries but the other one sings
You walk around like everybody owes ya something
Take what you got, thank G-d for all that life brings
The poor man has it all but not content with anything
While the rich man's hands are empty but he's sitting like a kind
Backpack's geting heavey, moving at a steady pace
Carrying bricks on your shoulders and lead around your waist
Making way, run in haste
There is no time to taste what you ate
WE should be grateful got a plateful
Fan the flame from the fire of freedom x3
From out of the fire into the flame
Burnin motherland we be goin insane
Tough like a truck keep me comin through the rain
Got me comin when I'm runnin out yet I'm feelin ok
I'm the kind of man make you fly like a plane
Take you on a vacation from the pain
Rollin like thunder like a runaway train
Let me take you on an escapade
I say oh ye oh ye oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh ye oh ye oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I'm keep on goin keep on rising
Elevate your mind it's all in the timing
Light up the freedom flame
Open up the skys your highway
Keep it goin till we reach the right way
Light up the freedom flame
Ouuuie ouuu ahyaeioeooeoooaioieo
I got roots like a tree holdin me down
With my eyes on the sky but my feet on the ground
And the people they'll come when they wanna gather round
Cause they hear some distant sound
Split the sea jump in with me
Tonight we leave in the streets we scream
Freedom
I said let it all ring
I said let it all ring
Oh ye oh ye oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh ye oh ye oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I'm keep on goin keep on rising
Elevate your mind it's all in the timing
Light up the freedom flame
Open up the skys your highway
Keep it goin till we reach the right way
Light up the freedom flame
Ouuuie ouuu ahyaeioeooeoooaioieo
Once I was in the dungeon
Now I can taste my freedom
I'm seein rainbows and rays of light
These are the things make me feel alright
Airtight outta sight like in the lyme light
When you answer it right it's bound to be alright
When the train hits on the time track
The hurricanes back and I'm goin till the lights fade black, fade black,
Fade black
Let it all rain now
Keep on goin keep on rising
Elevate your mind it's all in the timing
Light up the freedom flame
Open up the skys your highway
Keep it goin till we reach the right way
Light up the freedom flame
Ouuuie ouuu ahyaeioeooeoooaioieo
Clear the way
My love is coming through
Ignite the flame
My light will shine for you
Fight the night and do what I got to do
Kiss the sky to prove myself
Clear the way
My love is coming through
The darkness was sparkling in a hundred paths
Narrow long roads
No matter where I am bless me with all your light,
I'm on the train brain vexed connect and the I feel blessed
Whether day or night I'm on the street midtown New York City
Let me stop praise your name I need room to breath
I want to feel your peace; I got to feel your ease
Screaming' down on my, because my insides bleed
My hearts on fire witnessed all the vampires
Yes I came hear on a to inspire
Close my eyes and take a ride inside
Feel the breeze blow by yo I'm getting' you high
Bob Nesta said it best everything will be all right
Introspect connect the sect's and let this music make you fly
I listened' to the wind whistle in a channel of sound
my ear like a vacuum begin to boom
glisten like the sun heats a drum,
cursing' all of them doomed rising' up from the ground
growing full like the moon
Said I'm planting like a seed yes sir
them get up and get up and grow and I'm firm like a tree,
well I know that's all I know,
that some their colors wonderful like it was a rainbow
Let me tell you one time if you didn't know
Moonlight enlighten my way at twilight
from the heights of my roof I send praise then poof
I'm looking up at the night
and ask for help to get up and get up and get up and get up and get it right
I can't stop drop and roll
Fire been burning out of control
And burning keep the hearts all yearning
And the heads them keep on turning
I dig in, I dig in and sinking my teeth in
Spit fire 'cause I'm the last dragon
Knock, knock them down sizzling with a vision
New York City to Jerusalem
Concrete jungle burn down Babylon
'Cause a simple man am I
With my chest up to the sky
When I walk by, my talk rides high like the wind rewind
I'll be by your side when nighttime it runs on
And the children they ride high
I'll be standing on the sun
Burn into the light, burn into the sun
Find these lines that climb from inside
The dream in between the words you might
Hear me slur as the vision it blurs
And the sun sets you don't know who to follow
And the path that they passed seems shallow
You never know where you might go
But the seed that you plant is the seed that you sew
And rain down at midnight, I ride my bike
King with my broken crown
Brooklyn Bridge to Crown Heights
I'll be by your side when nighttime it runs on
And the children they ride high
I'll be standing on the sun
Burn into the light, burn into the sun
And the sun sets you don't know who to follow
You never know where you might go
But the seed that you plant is the seed that you sew
I'll be by your side when nighttime it runs on
And the children they ride high
I'll be standing on the sun
Mist rising on the horizon
Listenin' with my ears and listenin' with my eyes
And listenin' until we've ridden the mud from the parasite
Listenin' until our hearts start to glisten, realize
Share the vision and my rhythms and we'll melt the ice
Start sizzling, spilling from the ceiling [unverified]
Dripping, drizzling close to the broken-hearted
Them crushed in spirit redeem the soul of your servant
Seek his [unverified] pursue it [unverified]
Keep the sparkle in your eyes
O, you know, we're all gon' die like flyin' soul times
For the times when we'll stay unified
The eyes of Hashem are to the righteous
And he hears their soul cry, like an ancient lullaby
Jerusalem breathes, brining me ease
From the Brooklyn squeeze
Dirty [unverified] bring ya down to ya knees
Trap me like a lion, [unverified], "leave me be"
When they come with their disease
To drag us into the street
My law's still pure, you can't take that from me
3000 years until this last century
Impossible to break the seal of the high priest
Yo, I say the branches on the trees gon' bow to these
Swaying to the melodies craving for the slaves
To bring redemption please
I am you, you are me
No more leaders, we must flea
We want see God in our enemy
When I return gonna burn to the sun
Ill be back to stack then I run
For the hills gotta find some time
Keep your pills gotta lose my mind
Find my heart down where the sun shines
Don't leave me cause I'll be left behind
Just want someone to walk the line
Next to me cause all alone
You're a king without his throne
Don't ya know its time to come home
Found his people you're alone???
I'm done tryin this, I'm done tryin that
It comes down to this, it came down to that
I look up look down the world's not black
It's time to get out of this track.
Strike the match, light the flame
It could never be the same
Light two candles
We fight through the night
Run this race
There's no end in sight
Together we can handle this
We can make it all alright
I'm here for you, are you here for me
We can just be
Look for me, I'm all over the place
Lookin up into your clouds searchin for a face
They say I may be just a crazy fool
But my DNA, runs thick like blood
An I'll be stuck in the mud, trudging through the quicksand
A man with a plan so stand and deliver
with my eyes on the prize and my hands reaching up to the sky
they wanna know why with my life on the line
like my mothers and fathers one thousand times
And its bound to repeat or you're gon go back to the earth
this a noun for the sound
one day, I'll leave it all behind
I am yours, you are mine
there's no reason, there's no rhyme
there's no logic in these lines
Its above this space in time
It's above all of their minds
When the time comes i'll close mine
Open up your eyes???
Light two candles
We fight through the night
Run this race
There's no end in sight
Together we can handle this
We can make it all alright
I'm here for you, are you here for me
We can just be
Be, we can just be just you and me
and breathe easily
Strike the match, light the flame
Light two candles
We fight through the night
Run this race
There's no end in sight
Together we can handle this
We can make it all alright
I'm here for you, are you here for me
We can just be
Be, we can just be just you and me
Some of them come now
Some of the running
Some of them looking for fun
Some of them looking for away out of confusion
Some of them don't know where to be
Some of them don't know where to go
Some of them trust their instincts
That somethings missing from the show
Some don't fit society
Their insides are crying low
Some of them teachers squashed the flame
'fore it had a chance to grow
Some of them embers still glow
Them charcoal hushed and low
Some of them come with hunger supressed
Not fed them feel the death blow, yo
Young man control in your hand
Slam your fist on the table
And make your demand
Take a stand
Fan a fire for the flame of the youth
Got the freedom to choose
You better make the right move
Young man, the power's in your hand
Slam your fist on the table and make your demand
You better make the right move
"youth is the engine of the world"
Storm the halls of vanity
Focus your energy
Into a laser beam
Streaming shattered light
Unites to pierce between the seams
And it seems
The world open peering
The children see
Rapid fire for your mind
Half a truth is just a lie
They rub me the wrong way
They say their way or fall behind
Seventeen disconnect left out
The concept as to why
There's a spiritual emptiness
So the youth them get vexed
Skip class and get wrecked
Feel with beer and cigarettes
What I'm fighting for
Is worth far more than silver and gold
What I'm fighting for
Is a chance to unite the past
When a brothers coming home at last
Fighting together for lives
Sons and daughters of Abraham
Lay down to a higher command
Don't be tricked by the acts of man
Gods wisdom revealed in a holy plan
A chance to unite the past
When a brothers coming home at last
Fighting together for lives
To Zion we roll and we're not all alone
Unite and you will find
What I'm fighting for
Is worth far more than silver and gold
What I'm fighting for
Is a chance to unite the past
When a brothers coming home at last
Fighting together for lives
To Zion we roll and we're not all alone
Unite and you will find
You're a warrior fighting for your soul
Taken from the world above and brought down the world below
You're the son of his majesty
Remember how it used to be
In the light of day it's easy to see
Now it's nighttime
You had to leave
Separated from the king
Now the water's rushing and you keep trying to swim against the stream
And it seems, like your not moving the many water's gushing you gasp for air
Almost drowning ears ringing, once upon a time we were singing
One day those trees will stand and clap hands
Stream of thought getting caught in the klipa, this place is just a shell, external
Egos swell, that one'll burn ya, we fell a long way down, that eternal frown'll get you down
You look vexed it's the dregs, the yetzer hara's lurking
Trying to make you forget we got a job to do
You're a priest and a prince and you can't be moved
[Chorus:]
You're a warrior, Fighting for your soul
Taken from a world above, and brought down to a world below
Re-united, re-united return the princess to the king,
Re-united, re-united, she's been taken for so long
Re-united, re-united and then she'll be filled with joy
Re-united, re-united like the days of her youth
Descended to the pit
What's this feeling can't get rid of it
Soul sick
Can't seem to shake it
When one retires at night weeping, joy will come in the morning
You made my mountain stand strong
[Chorus]
Like and ancient memory
Remember how it used to be
Close your eyes and breath in
That's the scent of freedom
Ringing across the sea
Land of milk and honey
One day will wake up from this dream and we'll stop dreaming,
Oh, yo, then we'll see clearly
On the way into this world, our soul was born in two
Searching for you, I been searching for you
Where ya been, where ya running to
Where ya got to go, what ya got to do
Don't care where were goin, just wanna be with you
Put your head on my shoulder, tell me what you been through
When I lose my focus, you remind me of the truth
Lift us up to the heavens, for a birds eye view
[Chorus:]
One woman for me
Other half of my soul, you're my queen
One woman for me
Other half of my soul, roots of my tree
We could forget about Gallus for a while, our troubles for a while
Sometimes I look at you and just smile, sit in the park and just laugh all day
Sometimes I just lose it with the things that you say, waiting by the subway
But we missed the train, well take the next one if you can pull me away
Keep me cool down to earth, and no anxiety
Stay modest with the humble heart always
[Chorus]
We don't need no umbrella when we're walking in the rain
Sunlight or clouds, it’s all the same
Don't need no umbrella, when we're walking in the rain
So smart and sharp, oh so lovely
And a beauty shine bright, yes you're there for me
Keep the ways of our fathers, how it use to be
Moving forward, don't mean erase our history
Look to your ways, and see a girl who wants to do the right thing
Dedicated to a life, bigger than you or me
Build a temple in our hearts, for his majesty
Stay simple, serve God, and keep our feets clean
The world is moving to the song I hear,
Who's that singing, wind is rushing in my ear,
Mind gushing memories almost lost everything,
Felony and fellows running in my dream,
We were in the van where the hits were driving,
Saw myself In the highlands at age 13
And I'm asking questions to the present day me,
Moving backwards down the hill see we were posting.
Moonlight illuminate my night and my days sunray make the people say
And a vision something's missing so they're screaming out loud
Keep my feet on ground and my head in the clouds.
I'm the arrow, you're my bow, shoot me forth and I will go
And I know and I go and I go get up and go
Make me feel its for real tell me what you know.
I don't need to glorify,
Ate the apple of the tree and tried to lie,
In the garden ill remember
That's when I started to sing
I said death brings life into uncertain things,
Cut some slack for me
Sun setting autumn breeze
Sound is moving like a chorus
Keep hearing that melody,
Check the radio but theres nothing playing,
Check the radio again but theres nothing playing.
Rewind:
Dub-wise!
Swing low, sweet chariot of flames
Change my name, Yo!
It Was always the same,
Till if only what you find when you climb,
Check the radio but of all that shines there's no time,
My life is making your mind work in overtime,
But along the line you'll have to pay for the crime.
Slow it down You turbo too soon,
Vroom vroom then you want to blast off unto the moon,
But you might get trapped in a temple of doom,
In the Earth, there are so many wonderful treasures.
And if you know where to dig, you will find gold, diamonds, all kinds of
Treasures.
But if you don't know where to dig, all you will find is rocks and dirt.
He can show you where to dig, and what to dig for, but the digging you must
Do yourself. (the digging you must do yourself)
Let go, of what y'all know
Return to the land of the rainbow
Where the sun hang low and the wind doth blow
And the tide it move so slow
Creeps and more through the window
Return to the land where the wild mare roam
And the buffalo go, yeah the buffalo go
Where the wild mare roam and ehh...
Cross the countryside search far and wide
Dig into the wheats upon the other side
Streams and the rivers and the oceans and the streets
Gonna swim with the fishes till I'm deep
I've been searchin' for you
I've been searchin' far and wide
I've been searchin' for you
All my life (my life) [x2]
Lift your eyes upon the other side
Sunrise and I fight to sleep through the night
Leap upon the skies on the clouds so high
When I fly by the heights feeling oh so right
Finally find the land and I'm kickin' up sand
When I stand and deliver the plan
Would you please back down
Or get slammed to the ground
When my slams strike thunder
While your village is under
Now you wonder why you going under
Got yo' self on the run from the numbah 1
That you can't run from
You spin and faint
You feel hunger (hunger)
I've been searchin' for you
I've been searchin' far and wide
I've been searchin' for you
All my life (my life) [x2]
In the Earth, there are so many wonderful treasures. And if you know where
To dig, you will find gold, diamonds (diamonds, diamonds...)
I've been searchin' for you
I've been searchin' far and wide
I've been searchin' for you
All my life (my life) [x2]
In the Earth, there are so many wonderful treasures. And if you know where
To dig, you will find gold, diamonds, jewellery, all kinds of treasures.
But if you don't know where to dig, all you will find is rocks and dirt.
A rebbe is the geologist of the soul.
He can show you where to dig, and what to dig for, but the digging you must
Hashem S'fasai tiftach u-fee yagid tehilasecha
Hashem S'fasai tiftach u-fee yagid tehilasecha
Open up my lips and my mouth shall declare your praise
Open up my lips and my mouth shall declare your praise
From sea to shining sea ohhhhhhh...
Searching for me. yeah. searching for me but you wont find me.
all across the land. digging through the sand ..
Ani auni vevyone. Hashem yashav li. Ezrati, umafalti, atau.
As for me, I am poor and destitute. Hashem my G-d will think about me. My help, my rescuer, you are.
My word is like a hammer like a shattering rock,
crack through your heart and take the evil apart
From the end of the earth unto you I call, time and again I fall, back to you I crawl
You have been a refuge for me, a tower of strength in the face of the enemy
Enemy, enemy lines I find I let myself get tied up too many times
You can't have my heart I'm taking back what's mine
I know it lie just smoke in your eye and you saved my soul from the other side
When faint grows my heart to a rock that too hard for me to climb alone lead me
For you have been a refuge
With you I smash a troop and with my G-d I leap over a wall
May the king answer you on the day that you call
Stand tall, battle yawl, the clouds crawl low, all stalled,
heavens lay draped over New York like a prayer shawl,
the holy one enthroned upon the praises of Israel
Pathways of my heart clogged like a traffic jam
Sometimes I lay under the moon
And I thank God I'm breathin'
Then I pray don't take me soon
'Cause I am here for a reason
Sometimes in my tears I drown
But I never let it get me down
So when negativity surrounds
I know someday it'll all turn around because
All my life I been waitin' for
I been prayin' for, for the people to say
That we don't want to fight no more
They'll be no more wars
And our children will play, one day
It's not about win or lose 'cause we all lose
When they feed on the souls of the innocent blood
Drenched pavement keep on movin'
Though the waters stay ragin'
And in this life you may lose your way
It might drive you crazy
But don't let it phase you, no way
Sometimes in my tears I drown
But I never let it get me down
So when negativity surrounds
I know someday it'll all turn around because
All my life I been waitin' for
I been prayin' for, for the people to say
That we don't want to fight no more
They'll be no more wars
And our children will play, one day
One day this all will change
Treat people the same
Stop with the violence down with the hate
One day we'll all be free and proud
To be under the same sun
Singing songs of freedom like
Raise the gate, motivate the place
Take a taste as we blaze on through the fate
Clean slate, move on, chant all night long
Gonna sing my song 'til the early morn
When the moon shines down all upon the land
This ain't no game and this ain't no scam
I ran from BK unto Japan
From Israel to the Holy Land
Open up and breathe in now out
Shout out loud, won't you let it all out?
Spit fountains on the day or night
Shine bright when I fly through the night
Would you leave it all behind revelation?
Wake in the morning to find you waiting
Even in a desperation feel something that's embracing
Feel something that's embracing
Revelation wake in the morning
Even in a desperation
Even in this desperation
Even in a desolation
Got to trail my path, slash page combat with a glass intact
No react and stack build up the nation
Can't replace them and a youth them gone invasion
It's a journey, I'm a wandering soul
Speak up on the unspoken and a pour out the timeless suffering
And lift up on the curtain, spin on the wheels of creation
I'm a searching, I'm a searching search light
When the time is right and the night is ripe
Would you leave it all behind revelation?
Wake in the morning to find you waiting
Even in a desperation feel something that's embracing
Feel something that's embracing
Revelation wake in the morning
Even in a desperation
Even in this desperation
Even in a desolation
Catch the arrows filled with poison
Catch the arrows
Catch the arrows filled with poison
Catch the arrows filled with poison
Catch the arrows
Catch the arrows
Catch the arrows filled with poison
Catch the arrows
Catch the arrows
Pour out the timeless suffering
Pour out the timeless suffering
Pour out the timeless suffering
Would you leave it all behind revelation?
Wake in the morning to find you waiting
Even in a desperation feel something that's embracing
Feel something that's embracing
Revelation wake in the morning
Even in a desperation
Even in this desperation
Even in a desolation
Just livin’ in the miracle, candles are my vehicle
Eight nights, gonna shine invincible
No longer be divisible, born through the struggle
Keep on moving through all this hustle
Head up, heads down through all of the bustle
New York City wanna flex your muscle
Look so down, look so puzzled
Huddle ‘round your fire through all the rubble
Bound to stumble and fall but my strength comes not from man at all
Bound to stumble and fall but my strength comes not from man at all
Do you believe in miracles
Am I hearing you? Am I seeing you?
Eight nights eight lights and these rites keep me right
Bless me to the highest heights with your miracle
Against all odds drive on till tomorrow
Wipe away your tears and your sorrow
Sunrise in the sky like an arrow
No need to worry, no need to cry
Light up your mind no longer be blind
Him who searches will find
Leave your problems behind you will shine like a fire in the sky
what’s the reason we’re alive – the reason we’re alive…
Bound to stumble and fall but my strength comes not from man at all
Bound to stumble and fall but my strength comes not from man at all
Do you believe in miracles
Am I hearing you? Am I seeing you?
Eight nights eight lights and these rites keep me right
Bless me to the highest heights with your miracle
Eight is the number of infinity one more than what you know how to be
And this is the light of festivity when your broken heart yearns to be free
Do you believe in miracles
Am I hearing you? Am I seeing you?
Eight nights eight lights and these rites keep me right
[Chorus]
Jerusalem, if I forget you,
fire not gonna come from me tongue.
Jerusalem, if I forget you,
let my right hand forget what it's supposed to do.
In the ancient days, we will return with no delay
Picking up the bounty and the spoils on our way
We've been traveling from state to state
And them don't understand what they say
3,000 years with no place to be
And they want me to give up my milk and honey
Don't you see, it's not about the land or the sea
Not the country but the dwelling of his majesty
[chorus]
Rebuild the temple and the crown of glory
Years gone by, about sixty
Burn in the oven in this century
And the gas tried to choke, but it couldn't choke me
I will not lie down, I will not fall asleep
They come overseas, yes they're trying to be free
Erase the demons out of our memory
Change your name and your identity
Afraid of the truth and our dark history
Why is everybody always chasing we
Cut off the roots of your family tree
Don't you know that's not the way to be
[chorus]
Caught up in these ways, and the worlds gone craze
Don't you know it's just a phase
Case of the Simon says
If I forget the truth then my words won't penetrate
Babylon burning in the place, can't see through the haze
Chop down all of them dirty ways,
That's the price that you pay for selling lies to the youth
No way, not ok, oh no way, not ok, hey
Aint no one gonna break my stride
Aint no one gonna hold me down
Oh no, I got to keep on moving
Stay alive
Sit back and in these daysRemember my waysOh, will I get out of my cage?Yes, I am a slaveSearching for some freedomSearching for some freedom
So intend to sing themSongs to spark, memoriesWhat is a man with no history?Where am I? Who am I?What is this place?We're just spinning in space
I will be lightI will be lightOh, I will be lightOh, I will be light
Time will continue without youSo in the end it's not about youBut what did you do?Who do you love besides you, beside you?
Many died in the name of vanityMany die in their mind's eye for justiceWe die for you and still doSo I say to you this is nothing new
I will be lightI will be lightOh, I will be lightOh, I will be light
One tiny moment in timeFor life to shine, to shineBurn away the darknessYou've got one tiny moment in timeFor life to shineTo burn away the darkness
You've got one tiny moment in timeFor life to shine, to shineTo burn away the darknessYou've got one tiny moment in timeFor life to shine, to shineTo burn away the darkness
You've got one tiny moment in timeFor life to shine, to shineTo burn away the darknessYou've got one tiny moment in timeFor life to shine, to shineTo burn away the darknessOne tiny moment in time
I will be lightOh, I will be lightOh, I will be lightI will be light, light, lightI will be light, oh, oh, oh
Daughter of Zion
Once precious princess
Left her father's house
To walk the streets that never rest
Maybe they'll hear me in the metropolis
So Im sending out and SOS
Fighting with her "ta"
She wants out of this mess
And those big city lights
Might brighten up the darkness
You know that Im tired and you know that Im stressed
You can't stop me and you can't stop this
You could call the police try to make an arrest
Today is the day that reposses
Leaving on the first bus that I can get
Now its rings around the eyes sopping wet from rain droplets
Window shopping for some solace
No address and penniless
Thats the price you pay from running away from the stress
Feeling the pain likes the dance by the DJ
Reminds me of a tiem when things were ok
Frightened by her own shadow
Now she wants to go home
Many names for one G-d
Trotting on through the facade
You were all my children
Got a dig for that feeling
Love will break through the concealment
Strip away the serpents skin
We came to win
Dispatch the troops
Send out the captain
My gem is held captive in the dungeon
Don't come back again untill you end the mission
If it takes a long time
Dont lose the vision
If you're stuck
Check the blueprint
Look within
Reflection
Got to find the rhythm
Won't you please return child
Where you been?
She says I can't come home because he won't let me in
And besides we don't need no more friction
Used to look so nice how'd you get so thin?
With a heart of ice it's a heart of sin
Skin white like a ghost with a pale complexion
Pray to G-d for the dead we need resurecction
Don't you know wherever you go thick and thin
You are still my children
Since you've been gone my soul's been hearting
Wondering through this world
We are all just obys and girls
Many names for G-d
It's like I'm walking through this kingdom of time
This far I've done lost my mind
Only to find the other side
Is where the world opens wide
To descend these city streets late at night
I've been searching for my bite
They say I inspired, but I'm still looking for my fire
These lies have got me tired
I'm free falling, I'm done stalling
I'm done crawling up this mountain top
I won't stop till I manifest my craft
The top is close
I'm sky scraping
They stay chasing
I'm like racing in the Sun, I'm running from depths
They're done, I'm going gray
I'm still young having mystic visions
Of the one, I hear the hum, the melody comes
Rushing in like some wind
Cuts close like a knife
All I got is my life
All I got I got I got
Crossroads, one million miles
I'm kicking up dirt when I'm flying high
Crossroads, one million miles
I'm kicking up dirt when I'm flying high
Now the rain is falling drizzle dropping on the street
Cleaning off the dirt beneath my feet
I got the speed on repeat
While I'm riding subway trains on a fact
Over tracks to go crack, my heart's black
But intact I've come to take the music back
I'm moving forward this time you can't ignore it
Put the pedal to the floor
Let's take you off
Through the time that has come
The time has come I launch orbit
I'm tight rope
Walking over fire with flames, yeah hot coals
I'm like water for you trolls
I pay no tolls
Speak to ghosts
Time to go high
The cross that you walk by
Got my eye into
I'll magic fly off on the broom
Which is true,
I'm at the crossroads, but I'll give my soul
It's already old
Crossroads, one million miles
I'm kicking up dirt when I'm flying high
Crossroads, one million miles
I'm kicking up dirt when I'm flying high
I'm a slave to the throne
The chariot, the flames, it's my home
I'm in a class of my own
Lights out, you're all alone, with your heart of stone
O-o-o-o-o-oh-oh
Crossroads, one million miles
I'm kicking up dirt when I'm flying high
Crossroads, one million miles
I'm kicking uṗ dirt when I'm flying high
Crossroads, one million miles
I'm kicking up dirt when I'm flying high
[Chorus:]
From the forest itself comes the handle for the ax
Split this wilderness listen up this ain't where it's at
Clear a path so that you could find your way back
Chop 'em down, chop 'em down; chop 'em down, chop 'em down
Time flies by like clouds passing in the sky lifetimes hear and gone like
the blink of an eye
March through this desert one-step at a time, march through the
desert one step at a time
[Chorus:]
From the forest itself comes the handle for the ax,
Drop the staff Moshe rabbainu split the ocean in half,
March through the desert this ain't where it's at
Chop 'em down, Chop 'em down
Patterns engraved not so easily erased, still wandering trying to find
your place
Playing the game I see pain on your face now a day's the yiddin like
children sold as slaves
Strange ways running through the maze, strange ways always lost in
the desert trying to
find to find your place lost in the desert trying to find your place
[Chorus]
Joseph descended sold as a slave,
thrown into a dungeon cause he wouldn't be swayed
Interpreted pharaoh's dreams and Egypt was saved
stock piled food for seven years of rain
then sold to all the nations when the drought came
Joseph rose to power and the yiddin stayed
They started to build and success was made
Pharos getting worried let's make them pay bound in chains
First born was sent down to their graves
Moshe was saved and a prince he was raised
Hashem spoke to him hears a message to relay
Take my Nation from Mitzrayim (Egypt) I see the suffering
Hard hearts ego breaks take sparks and make way
Trail blaze through the wasteland breaking the chains
Last generation just the ruminants
March through the desert leaving footprints
Peel off the lid this is just plastic, get into it, get into it
Heavy hitter stepping solid never quitter jump into the ocean before it
split got a jump into it
Rip through Egypt rip through it,
get into it, 600,000 witnessed it, no you didn't forget
In the spiritual desert things are not what they seem
snakes camouflaged just fit the scene
Put your faith in a mirage it's just a smoke screen
[Chorus:]
Buffalo soldier, I know I'm not a rasta
I used to be a mobster burning down the block
Buffalo soldier, I know I'm not a rasta
I used to be a mobster burning down the block
Don't judge a book by the cover
Everything will be in this world is your brother
When I lost the fun [?] uncover
Ancient words that teach me to love ya!
So we burn to return to the mother
And we yearn to unlearn all they told ya about yourself
Who you are, what you should be,
I'm gonna be free leave it up to me!
Shouts through the sky, look out to the night
Feel alright!
Stars burn bright, I like the moonlight
You'll be alright!
[Chorus:]
Buffalo soldier, I know I'm not a rasta
I used to be a mobster burning up the block
Buffalo soldier, I know I'm not a rasta
I used to be a mobster burning up the block
Buffalo soldier, I know I'm not a rasta
I used to be a mobster burning up the block
This is the medicine, I'm out like the bedouin
This knife I'm burying and this life I'm treasuring
This is the medicine, I'm out like the bedouin
Buffalo soldier, I know I'm not a monster
Buffalo soldier, I know I'm not a monster
Buffalo soldier, I know I'm not a monster
I went runing away to the cave
Went in a slave and came out all flames
I went running away for the hills
Back to my roots and I'm running still
But now I'm running to face my dreams
Found my place and what it means
Find yourself and no one else
You have to leave it up to me, leave it up to me!
[Chorus:]
Buffalo soldier, I know I'm not a rasta
I used to be a mobster burning up the block
Buffalo soldier, I know I'm not a rasta
I used to be a mobster burning up the block
Buffalo soldier, I know I'm not a rasta
I used to be a mobster burning up the block
This is the medicine, I'm not like the bedouin
With this knife I'm buryin and this life I'm treasuring
Buffalo soldier, I know I'm not a rasta
Buffalo soldier, you know I'm not a rasta
I used to be a mobster burning down the block
I shot the sheriff, the DA, and the deputy
Sorry al sharpton I don't need you to lecture me
Maybe I'll stop talking about guns
When you talk about the funds that they cut for the youth
Let's cut to the truth, ain't enough for the youth
So tell me how you judge me til you're stuck in the shoes, man!
Where the Congressmen, where all the Senators?
They're thinking about their green, not the color of the President?
This is just a relevance, survival is the sentiment
Narcotics is the only way you know that I'm a measure it!
They say that we are in a post Obama era
Well exactly what that mean? you needn't make it clearer
Does it mean that the rich are gonna finally start to share up
Reproportion the wealth and make things fairer
Asking God "why do poor people suffer" but now I'm such a hypocrite, the
Rolls Royce mufflers.
In the gutters nobody never loved us
I am just the result of pain and hunger!
[Chorus:]
Buffalo soldier, I know I'm not a rasta
I used to be a mobster burning up the block
Buffalo soldier, I know I'm not a rasta
I used to be a mobster burning up the block
Buffalo soldier, I know I'm not a rasta
Austin how you all feeling.
Like this, Like this.
It’s the music that grows all the illusion and fears.
It’s the music that makes the confusion become clear.
It’s the music that I live, these 18 years.
It’s the music I give my blood, sweat, and tears.
Not to mention some lifer,
Did I mention I like her?
Then the rest of the cipher man it’s not hard to decipher.
Music gets people hyper,
Music made me a riper.
Music made me a fighter.
Yo man, pass me the lighter.
It’s the fire that igniter, shot it right in the sky.
Look me right in the eye.
Hey yo kid, you want to fly.
The why-o, the n-ya, from N.Y. to egg white.
You cannot deny so why even try.
My mother sang songs to kids in concentration.
His mother sang songs inside the cotton plantation.
Her mother sang songs while we were robbin the nation.
now I sing songs for much more then an occupation.
I am the music.
We are the music.
I am the music.
You are the music
Austin is the music.
Texas is the music.
We are the mu-sic.
Yo I take two steps forward.
Taking one step back.
Every time I think I am on track, Life fades to black.
Now I pick the slack and attack faster then a rapper on crack.
Feel my knack and just spit.
I bet there’s more triplets 'cause rap has hit vicious.
My style is more delicious the eggnog.
You wish this kid would vanish, so’s his family,
And my spirit needs fitness, that why I flip this.
Yo so I held back the life and blown and feeling.
Alright surprising people 'cause I drowned last night.
Here I am one more time,
My rhymes are at your shine.
I’m ripping over ribbons life swimming through time.
Sit back in unwind,
Let your brain unravel.
Slip sliding away like travelin on wet gravel,
On a day when a man was born, from one world to another
I don't know who you are, even when we face each other
When I wake up I know you're here this is everything that you've done
I got nothing to fear, cause the battle's already been won
[Chorus]
This is the time of divine favor
Sublime love cuts like a razor
Burning up our fear and pain
Ascend in fire like a laser beam
Repeat X1
Search heaven and the seven seas
Answer lies inside you
You know it won't come easy
You've got to find your own truth
When I returned to the lower garden
I saw many souls living and dead
Rushing back and forth decending from one world to the next
The joy was too great for years to get over words to express
All would be forgiven for stolen time and debts
Ask me to run with them, cause of the ???????
You've been givin eyes to see
Looking for a prophet to accompany me
Alone I must go, on my own, fly with my very own set of wings
I, reached the highest heights, knocking on the door with the king of kings
[Chorus]
This is the time of divine favor
Sublime love cuts like a razor
Burning up our fear and pain
Ascend in fire like a laser beam
Repeat X1
Search heaven and the seven seas
Answer lies inside you
You know it won't come easy
You've got to find your own truth
It's your life to live, I can't live it for you
It's your time to give, and I can't give it for you
It's your fear to lose, I can't lose it for you
Death or life, so choose, and I put both before you
So, find your word of truth, you've got to find your word of truth
It's your life to live, I can't live it for you
It's your time to give, and I can't give it for you
Search heaven and the seven seas
Answer lies inside you
You know it won't come easy
You've got to find your own truth
People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
When I say that I'm o.k. well they look at me kind of strange
Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game
People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
Ah, people asking questions lost in confusion
Well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry
I'm just sitting here doing time
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
Just a castaway
An island lost at sea
Another lonely day
With no one here but me
More loneliness
Than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair
I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle
A year has passed since I wrote my note
But I should have known straight from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life
But love can break your heart
I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle
TV's a jet stream hold off until tomorrow
Internet flat screen what's the message in your bottle
She'll be comin around the mountain when she comes full throttle
Battleaxe can chop em down that's the call of the wild
There's no message in your bottle emptiness its just hollow
Think the way to wake up is through sex that's just shallow
Tossing seed into the wind producin loss and sorrow
Draculas on MTV sucking blood from the marrow
Hearts hardened like stone wantin to be known like Pharaoh
'Said to let me people go that's just the call of the wild
Children drowning in the rivers
hard to swallow
If its roots are cut off how we can feed this flower
Might look pretty temporary, but rotten within the hour
Disconnected from its source with no footsteps to follow
Chasing death
bridge that's narrow.
Walked out this morning
Don't believe what I saw
A hundred billion bottles
Washed up on the shore
Seems I'm not alone at being alone
A hundred billion castaways
Looking for a home
I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Open up the gate
Let my prayer rise up
And I struggle every day
just to get myself up
For the force of gravity that
keeps sinking my ship
Time again one is bound to slip
We rip through these days
We flip through the age
Survive stay alive we
won't trip in the haze
Lost in the maze
I know it's just a phase
But I dread it dread it dread it
I won't let my life go to waste
I'm a struggla
Rise and never fall cause I
been through it all
So ask yourself and think twice
Would you want to live your life
Oh we pay the cost
The pain and all the loss
Sell the youth them dreams of ease and fame
Will be a breeze when you got a big name
Cash fast fast cars to
escape all of the pain
Escape your brain and so it stays the same
We would not lay down
We won't live in vain
We won't be drained
And I got to maintain
I won't let my life go to waste
I'm a struggla
Rise and never fall cause I
been through it all
So ask yourself and think twice
Would you want to live your life
Oh we pay the cost
The pain and all the loss
There's something wrong with the system
That leaves it's people victim
Keep on slipping can't seem to catch up
Try to rise at night but my
legs they stay stuck
There's something wrong in the system
That leaves it's children victim
I won't let my life go to waste
I'm a struggla
Rise and never fall cause I
been through it all
So ask yourself and think twice
Would you want to live your life
Oh we pay the cost
The pain and all the loss
Oh we pay the cost
The pain and all the loss
Rise and never fall cause I
been through it all
So ask yourself and think twice
Would you want to live your life
Oh we pay the cost
The pain and all the loss
Open up the gates let my prayer rise up
Oh we pay the cost
You're all that I have and you're all that I need
Each and every day I pray to get to know you please
I want to be close to you, yes I'm so hungry
You're like water for my soul when it gets thirsty
Without you there's no me
You're the air that I breathe
Sometimes the world is dark and I just can't see
With these, demons surround all around to bring me down to negativity
But I believe, yes I believe, I said I believe
I'll stand on my own two feet
Won't be brought down on one knee
Fight with all of my might and get these demons to flee
Hashem's rays fire blaze burn bright and I believe
Hashem's rays fire blaze burn bright and I believe
Out of darkness comes light, twilight unto the heights
Crown Heights burnin' up all through till twilight
Said, thank you to my God, now I finally got it right
And I'll fight with all of my heart, and all a' my soul, and all a' my might
[Chorus:]
What's this feeling?
My love will rip a hole in the ceiling
I give myself to you from the essence of my being and I
Sing to my God, songs of love and healing
I want Moshiach now, time we start revealing
What's this feeling?
My love will rip a hole in the ceiling
I give myself to you from the essence of my being and I
Sing to my God, songs of love and healing
I want Moshiach now
Strippin' away the layers and reveal your soul
Got to give yourself up and then you become whole
You're a slave to yourself and you don't even know
You want to live the fast life but your brain moves slow
If you're trying to stay high, bound to stay low
You want God but you can't deflate your ego
If you're already there then there's nowhere to go
If you're cup's already full then its bound to overflow
If you're drowning in the water's and you can't stay afloat
Ask Hashem for mercy, and he'll throw you a rope
You're looking for help from God you say he couldn't be found
Searching up to the sky and looking beneath the ground
Like a King without his Crown
You keep fallin' down
You really want to live but can't get rid of your frown
Tried to reach unto the heights and wound bound down on the ground
Given up your pride and the you heard a sound
Out of night comes day and out of day comes light
Nullified to the One like sunlight in a ray,
Makin' room for his love and a fire gone blaze
Makin' room for his love and a fire gone blaze
[Chorus:]
What's this feeling?
My love will rip a hole in the ceiling
I give myself to you from the essence of my being and I
Sing to my God, songs of love and healing
I want Moshiach now, time we start revealing
What's this feeling?
My love will rip a skylight in the ceiling
I give myself to you from the essence of my being and I
Sing to my God, songs of love and healing
Yo (X 9)
I lift up my eyes where my help come from
Seen it circling around from the mountain
Thunder!
You feel it in your chest
You keep my mind at ease and my soul at rest
Look to the sky where my help come from
Seen it circling around from the mountain
Thunder!
You feel it in your chest
When I return, gonna burn to the sun
I'll be back to stack then I run
For the hills gotta find some time
Keep your pills, gotta lose my mind
Find my heart down where the sun shines
I may climb looking for some sign
Don't leave me 'cause I'll be left behind
Just want someone to walk the line
Next to me 'cause all alone
You're a king without his throne
Don't ya' know it's time to come home
Found his people, you're alone
I'm done tryin' this, I'm done tryin' that
It comes down to this, it came down to that
I look up look down the world's not black
It's time to get out of this track
Strike the match, light the flame
It could never be the same
Light two candles, we fight through the night
Run this race, there's no end in sight
Together we can handle this
We can make it all alright
I'm here for you, are you here for me?
We can just be
Look for me, I'm all over the place
Lookin' up into your clouds, searchin' for a face
They say I may be just a crazy fool
But my DNA, runs thick like blood
An I'll be stuck in the mud
Trudging through the quicksand
A man with a plan, so stand and deliver
With my eyes on the prize
And my hands reaching up to the sky
They wanna know why
With my life on the line
Like my mothers and fathers
One thousand times and it's bound to repeat
Or you're gon' go back to the earth
This a noun for the sound
One day, I'll leave it all behind
I am yours, you are mine
There's no reason, there's no rhyme
There's no logic in these lines
It's above this space in time
It's above all of their minds
When the time comes, I'll close mine
Open up your eyes
Light two candles, we fight through the night
Run this race, there's no end in sight
Together we can handle this
We can make it all alright
I'm here for you, are you here for me
We can just be, be, we can just be
You and me and breathe easily
הלוך ילך ובכה נשא משך הזרע בא יבוא ברנה נשא אלמתיו
Strike the match, light the flame
Light two candles, we fight through the night
Run this race, there's no end in sight
Together we can handle this
We can make it all alright
I'm here for you, are you here for me
We can just be, be
Hear the words of the Higher One say: "Babylon, you throne goin' down, goin' down; Babylon, you throne goin' down."
Said I hear the words of the Iyaman say: "Babylon, you throne goin' down, goin' down; Babylon, you throne goin down."
And I hear the angel with the seven seals say: "Babylon throne gone down, gone down; Babylon throne gone down."
I say fly away home to Zion (fly away home); I say fly away home to Zion (fly away home). One bright morning when my work is over, Man will fly away home.
You quench my thirsting soul and you fill my appetite
I give myself to you because you treat me right
I put my trust in the world and the world gets tight
Shift my trust to you it's like a crystal clear night
Expand in all directions get the sections to unite
Hashem's rays fire blaze light my way light of my life
And these days well wait no longer night
I'm reaching for my god like skyscrapers in the night
I said i know its hard inside is empty galus (exile) cuts like a knife
Internalize torah vibes bound to be alright
Whirlwind of praise from below to above
Take flight in the sky got wings like a dove,
Soaring to shamayim (heaven) where the angels call in love
And the glory of hashem fits like a glove
Whirlwind of praise from below to above
Take flight in the sky got wings like a dove,
Soaring to shamayim (heaven) where the angels call in love
And the glory of hashem fits like a glove
Hashem rules the world and israel is his wife
Love you yes my god with all my heart my soul and my might
When i feel you by my side yes i'm flying like a kite
I feel you by my side yes i'm soaring like a kite
Open up my eyes and give me sight
Super energizer everyday you give me life
Nanana i seen the ways of the world intoxifying on pride
Young man don't you know drugs impurify your mind
When israel left mitzrayim four fifths got left behind
If you got no water how you gonna survive
Roots lead ya to the well - springs so you could stay alive
Pharaoh claimed to be a god and claimed to make the nile
A crocodile can smile and show his teeth
You could see beauty shines externally that's the story of greece
Inside america bleeds, israel won't you get up from your knees
Its just lies in disguise torah's truth won't you please realize
Given to the humble one on mt. sinai
Shma y'sroel, hashem elokainu, hashem echad
(deu 6: 4-hear o israel, the lord is our god, the lord is one)
The world could just crumble to dust its just us it's not two it's just one
The middle road called truth, torah you sooth my brain bruise
Open up peruse with knowledge of god
And move up an arousal from below till the secrets start to ooze
Don't snooze it's pure light the most high wants us alive
What's the proof?
We got life!
Chabad philosophy that's the deepest well-spring
Gaining knowledge of god while your gaining money
Fill up yourself with the light of his majesty
In a world of separation that's the only way to be
It's time we leave we won't flee just walk out easily
She ibane bet ha mikdash be mehera be yamenu ve ten darkenu be torateha
(rebuild the temple in the days of our lives and let us walk the ways of torah)
Whay
If you got no water how you gonna survive
Roots lead you to the well springs so you could stay alive
If you got no water how you gonna survive
(vocoder)
Dream awake, dream away
get up and get up and go ahh)
Dream awake, make no mistake
Strive to be alive most everyday
You can listen stereo or monotone
Mega phone, mellow drone DJ with delay
Relay super surfer high stereo sound
Radio station super space nation fight the foe
This one's about to blow up
I'm two flues over the CooCoo's nest and won't rest
Bless up with no vest with a shield to protect
Smash lies,
(wake up), stand up and jump off to this
yeah wake up, stand up and jump off to this
wake up, stand up and jump off to this
Some piece of mind from the daily grind
Smash lies,
(wake up), stand up and jump off to this
yeah wake up, stand up and jump off to this
wake up, stand up and jump off to this
Dream awake, dream awake
say, get up and get up and go ah
say, get up and get up and go ah
Oh Dream-a-dream-awake
Dream awake, dream awake
say, get up and get up and go ah
get up and get up and
get up and get up and
Dream awake, dream awake
Find lines to move guys rely on a vision
Filled with rhymes, the room is filled with villains, and ghost
We toast and coast to the next host
Many boast of battles won and the day is fading fast
The work is passed through the self destruction
Why you wanna burn, why you wanna drown?
Why you wanna die by the highway?
The front lines intertwine
Smash lies,
(wake up), stand up and jump off to this
yeah wake up, stand up and jump off to this
wake up, stand up and jump off to this
Some piece of mind from the daily grind
stand up
yeah wake up, stand up
We'll bounce over beats and rock shows
So fast so slow never know where the day may go
Bounce and we bubble over hills and valleys
We go through the fields of green in between destinies
Or just get high, nah there's no need
No need to feed on the scraps of the enemy
Where's the bad guy on the inside one day I might try
Smash lies,
(wake up), stand up and jump off to this (dream awake)
yeah wake up, stand up and jump off to this
yeah wake up, stand up and jump off to this
wake up, up, jump off to this
Fire descends from on High
In the shape of a lion
Burn the sacrifice of Pride
And ride on to Mount Zion
Rub me the wrong way
Taking the highway
Rubbing sticks together
But your fire's man-made
Capitalize on hot air, soar like an airplane
Yearn to rise in the sky quick high
Like cocaine, false pride is suicide
But you've got nothing to gain
Babylon's buildings raise like flames
Drowning in their champagne
Explosive!
Pull the pin in the hand grenade
Soul stain blowing up in your own domain
Fire crackers ooh and ahh
But they never maintain
{bridge}
Fires burning
Flames are dancing
Don't burn the house down
Heavenly fire only resides
On an altar made from the ground
{Chorus}
Fire descends from on High
In the shape of a lion
Burn the sacrifice of pride
And ride on to mount Zion
One pair of eyes
But see two different things
One person cries
While the other one sings
You walk around like everybody
Owes you something
Take what you got
Thank G-d for all that life brings
The poor man has it all
But not content with anything
While the rich man's hads are empty
But he's sitting like a king
{Bridge}
Backpack's getting heavy
Moving at a steady pace
Carrying bricks on your shoulders
And lead around your waiste
Making way, run in haste
There is no time to waste
We should be grateful
Got a plateful
Fire burns like ice morsels falling fire
Like Rain
{Chorus}
You should be more subtle
You could keep your hustle
Keep your laugh and shuffle
Flashing muscle, brass knuckle
Bust your bubble, goin pop
Take of the muzzle
Hate to ruffle feathers
Makin brothers struggle
Through the rough old concrete jungle
Briskan brussells step and shuffle
Stumble into trouble
Spirit rumble in the temple
Mumble nothing
Your should be more humble
In the continental all your bluff
You're puffin smoke, it's fundamental
In this ocean you're a pebble
Like david with his stone, knocked goliath of his throne
There's nothing i can't do, cause i believe in you
And this world of stress, obstacles and tests
I will do my best, and leave the next world for my rest.
You wanna dance with the devil, tread up on the revel
Livin like a rebel, wanna revel in the treble
While you jump another level, yeah you wanna get high
But dont wanna pay the price, wanna slice through the night
Sit back and feel nice, carry snakes around your neck
I reckon get born to the life where the mornin shines on
Got to keep your feet up on the ground
When the beat drops down, ain't no time to clown around
This ain't my city, this ain't my town
I'm a stranger in a strange land with a strange sound
Must've been found, been wonderin all around
Time travellin with my crown, buried deep under the ground.
Like david with his stone, knocked goliath of his throne
There's nothing i can't do, when i believe in you
And this world of stress, obstacles and tests
Oh i will do my best, and leave the next world to my rest.
Just like time, i'm on a windy road
Got to get where im going, got to get up and go
Heavy hands we stand, and go for an overflow
I ran the land, just like the ego
In search of the sea, and the sand
But the fire in the sky ran out, mount and scraped the sun
The only light is the one, that shines inside
As the time evaporates, yeah the time goes by
Days move on some come some go
All along i walk with flow
Nowhere i know, nothing at all
When the kingdom falls, still sing to god
Step back and let go of it all
Under attack i learn to stand tall
But the night time stalls, and the sun don't rise and fall.
Like david with his stone, knocked goliath of his throne
There's nothing i can't do, when i believe in you
And this world of stress, obstacles and tests
Oh i will do my best, and leave the next world for my rest.
(awesome and holy jam section)
Urge us to praise, praise, praise, praise, prays, prays...
Open up the gates...
Let my, run him in
Open, open, open, open, open, open, open...
Open up the gates, of righteousness

Babylon your gonna go down down down
Babylon your gonna go down
I said i hear the words our higher man say
Babylon your gonna go down down down
Babylon your gonna go down
Said one bright morning when my work is over, im gonna fly away home
One bright morning when my work is over, im gonna fly away home
I said ill fly, away home, to zion
Fly away home.
I said ill fly away home to zion
Fly away home.
One day...
What I'm fighting for
Is worth far more than silver and gold
What I'm fighting for
Is a chance to unite the past
With the broken souls coming home at last
Fighting together for light
Sons and daughters of Abraham
Lay down to a higher command
Don't be tricked by the acts of man
God's wisdom revealed in a holy plan
A chance to unite the past
Witn the broken souls coming home at last
Fighting together for light
To Zion we come
And we're not alone
Unite and you'll be fine
What I'm fighting for
Is worth far more than silver and gold
What I'm fighting for
Is a chance to unite the past
With the broken souls coming home at last
Fighting together for light
To Zion we come
And we're not all alone
Unite and you'll be fine
I told her you must go
You can't stay here
She said I know
Since the death blow
My soul's been oh like sand
I'm so tired
it's like my spirit expired
Remember when I was just a child yet
Now I feel like a star a
daybreak about to expire
And get lost in the sun
Me and you
We gotta leave and just run and run
Don't wait for me while I'm down
Cause I might not get up
All I have is right now but I
give you what I got
You are the only good thing
that I have ever done
We will walk until my blood
runs out until my heart is burned
You are not alone
Run yet run yet running away
Promised and you choose to stay
Up and down do look away
Climbing them most every day
Patience on top of a mountain
Pumping blood through the
veins of creation
We are not alone
He aches for her but can't
find his way can't live no more
I ache for her but can't
find my way I can't live no more
She is not alone
Just before the light goes away
Comes a child that collects
all the reasons to be
That laughs and that smiles
Moments of clarity
Exchanging them for another day
And so my heart continues to say
You are the only good thing
that I have ever done
We will walk until my blood
runs out until my heart is burned
You are not alone
Here we go it's you and me
Gotta let go
Gotta believe
Rip through negativity
Find a place that we can be
So I agree inevitably we can't
stay here eternally
The day has come
The bottom's out don't be a grump
She said we got to go
We can't stay here
I said I know but got no place to go
The nights are cold
And we need a place to be
Remember when I was just a child yeah
Now I feel like a star a
daybreak about to expire
And get lost in the sun
Me and you
We gotta leave and just run and run
Run and Run
Run and Run and Run
You can't stay
Can't stay
Run and Run
Run and Run and Run
We will walk until my blood
Well I be rippin' to them lyrics, I be rippin' into them words
Explain like physics leavin your vision blurred
All of them, all of them righteous men there is no need to worry
Crush into the wicked into my way with all these fists of fury
I study rhymes all day
Everyday that's what I say
And I come with consciousness as my soul mainstay
All of them, all of them crazy murderers are bound to be prey
Lock, stock, suckin evil man with no delay
Said the moonlight, sunlight's in my way
Twilights from the heights of my roof I send praise
Then poof looking up to the night ask for help
To get up...
So me no need no ganja na'
They only bring me down
Burn away my brain away my brain is too compound
Elevating my soul, purifying my sound
Like the sun of my sun ray burnin up thru the clouds
Torah good for my brain let it rain till I drown
Thunder let the blessings come down
It found my soul, raised it up from the ground x 2
I said a moonlight, sunlight's in my way
Twilights from the heights of my roof I send praise
Then poof looking up to the night ask for help
To get up...
Said I be rippin' through them lyrics, I be rippin' through them words
Explain like physics leavin your vision blurred
All of them, all of them righteous men there is no need to worry
Crush into the wicked in my way with all these fists of fury
I study rhymes all day
Everyday that's what I say
And I come with consciousness as my soul mainstay
All of them, all of them crazy murderers are bound to be prey
Lock, stock, suckin', evil man with no delay
I'm dropin' bombs on your moms
Yeah to your dismay
In every single way each and a each and every day
I sit back relax and listen to the music play
Put the headphones on my head a yes I bump and I sway
And I be rhyming through your house, yes I be rhyming through your room
Explain like physics leavin your conscious doomed
Kaboom in the morning and the afternoon
Said the moonlight, sunlight's in my way
Twilights from the heights of my roof I send praise
Then poof looking up to the night ask for help
I'm feelin' easy
The ocean breeze be
Carrying me, I'm Tel Aviv'n
And now I'm seeing
And I'm believing
Because these streets
Got melody in 'em
I'm on a plane over
The Mediterranean
And this terrain of the plains
That's beneath my feet
I'm on a Jeep at twilight,
With my night vision on
To find the song of my people
'Til we hit the dawn
Moving and shaking
And taking it up
Swimming in the ocean
And I won't give up
Moving and shaking
And taking it up
Swimming in the ocean
And I won't give up
Moving and shaking
And taking it up
Swimming in the ocean
And I won't give up
Independence Day the sunset
Dj plays one day
Fly high, higher than all the walls
Fly high, like a desert eagle
Now it's mid day
I'm on my way
On a camel with my shades
Head wrapped to the max
Burning tracks, all day
Hill tops, won't stop
'Til Moshiach's on his way
And I don't give damn about
What the world say
I'm on a hillside
Feeling so alive
Below me the dead sea and F15's
Bullet shells be
Just like graffiti
Kojak in a flag with an M16
Moving and shaking
And taking it up
Swimming in the ocean
And I won't give up
Moving and shaking
And taking it up
Swimming in the ocean
And I won't give up
Moving and shaking
And taking it up
Swimming in the ocean
And I won't give up
Independence Day the sunset
Dj plays one day
Fly high, higher than all the walls
Fly high, like a desert eagle
You could teach your children hatred
Teach them how to fight
I'm a teach my children how to love
With all of their might
With all of your soul
All of your heart
All of your might
Might, might, might...
Sh'ma Yisrael
Adonai Eloheinu
Adonai Echad
Fly high, higher than all the walls
Fly high, like a desert eagle
Fly high, higher than all the walls
(Loose English translation)
A scream and a cry and a yell.
A father in the forest searching for his children.
Children, children where have you gone to.
Because of me you have forgotten.
Children, children come home to me.
Because I am lonely to be sitting all alone.
Father, Father we cannot come home.
I had to cross the line to leave you behind
With hopes to find some peace of mind
Now I'm looking for your voice
through the chitter-chatter
that doesn't matter that's
torn and tattered these angels on a ladder
This laughter
Strip away the extra plaster
I'm crashing fast
it's the morning after
Through the hum and the buzz
The thickness and the fuzz
I jump over puddles to stomp through the sludge
Look for me through the wind and rain
Sunshine remember my name
I'll be coming yes I'm running oh I'm on my way
Just stay and I'll be there by the break of day
Look for me through the wind and rain
Thunder remember my name
I'll be coming yes I'm running oh I'm on my way
Just stay and I'll be there by the break of day
I had to evacuate the premises
you're your own nemesis
The premises you're born and blood and
leave the world penniless
I had to remember that there's
darkness before the exodus
Split the sea
We'll flee to the next
Come and vent with us
I had to send and blend out
Spent it all on sentences fend
off the members of relentless pessimists
I had to miss the world
Looking for the core
Cure my heart so I can live more
Look for me through the wind and rain
Sunshine remember my name
I'll be coming yes I'm running oh I'm on my way
Just stay and I'll be there by the break of day
Look for me through the wind and rain
Thunder remember my name
I'll be coming yes I'm running oh I'm on my way
Just stay and I'll be there by the break of day
Thunder
Remember my name Thunder
Remember my name
City lights shine and I'm on my way
This time tomorrow I'll be on my way
At the break of day I look for you at sunrise
When the tide comes in I lose my disguise
Look for me through the wind and rain
Sunshine remember my name
I'll be coming yes I'm running oh I'm on my way
Just stay and I'll be there by the break of day
Look for me through the wind and rain
Thunder remember my name
I'll be coming yes I'm running oh I'm on my way
Just stay and I'll be there by the break of day Day...
Thunder
You feel it in your chest
Thunder
Undo the clasps, cast the shackles to the sea
They flee from themselves and they can't understand
They burn humanity in their search to be free
But freedom's not for sale
When you run for the moonlight
To dance on a ray and become
What you knew to be true but the time flew by
You been searching for a reason why
And I, I will be there for you
To search for you wherever you are
And I, I will be there for you
To look for you wherever you go
When you dance in the drizzle fizzle out
Fist out, blissed out, shout it loud
Through the clouds, oh and rock out
I can't stop now 'cause I move like the breeze
With ease and grace we stay laced
As we move through the space dancing on a blade
Of grass at twilight a firefly fly free through the night
I shine bright from the ground to the sky
And I, I will be there for you
To search for you wherever you are
And I, I will be there for you
To look for you wherever you go
On and on we go as the world turns the world burns
Come from Mount Zion, stay out of the whirlwind
Move to the music 'cause the world don't sit still
In silence we climb through blindness
And I, I will be there for you
To search for you wherever you are
And I, I will be there for you
(Chanting)
They say that I'm euphemism for a new religion
I'm praying that my comrades all gonna get up out of Clinton
I'm in prison with a system and I'm thinking that I didn't
Deserve to be born in the first place cause of my pigment
Dark than the Caucasoid complexion kind of different
On a Harley David is King David sayin' my tehillin'
Pistol in my waste and I'm wrapped in my tefillin'
On a camel like an Arab because Ishmael is my siblin'
I'm on my own thing, yes Moses
I don't part the sea I fly the jet across the ocean
Yeah, God's the one that wrote this
I'm just an instrument so make sure that you listen in
I'm from the block where there ain't no scholarships
Forced to do things that if she knew would make my momma sick
Larry Hoover was my tutor
Now I made tshuva from the king crown of Judah
(Chanting)
Now I'm running through the trees, I got you all screaming please
I slay wicked with my tongue I fire missiles when I breathe
I'll give you all one reason to leave me be, before I bring you to your knees
With great catastrophes, I cast off shackles as I bleed
Some room I need to breathe and blast off as I please
With verses of praise that I slay when I sing
And a double edge sword that swings low by my knees
No need to gas a blow I stay low and then I feed
But when the time comes to go, I'm like Rambo
I got my cross bow, the cross winds blow
I'm so, radio, this wave activation
It got me living in slow mo
But now I'm ready to blow
It's getting hot, I'm heat seeking, fire breathing
Believing scriptures that I'm reading while you're wailing at the wall
I stand tall, and battle y'all
While them Kingdoms fall
"Indestructable"
Fear nobody but His Majesty,
My spirit, you retrieved,
For you I wait silently,
It seems that you believe in me
Fear nobody but His Majesty,
My spirit, you retrieved,
For you I wait silently,
It seems that you believe in me
Indestructable digging through the rubble
Bubblin we don't need no more trouble
That bahella-scope vision, hot hot fiction
Like im running a muck upon a rhythm
Stay on the plan so you don't lose the vision
Stay sizzling Peter pan I'm from a land hip like this
From the city feeling it
Ya breathing in, ya put on your glasses and ya see through it
(Chorus)
Fear nobody but His Majesty, (fear no one)
My spirit, you retrieved,
For you I wait silently, (his majesty)
It seems that you believe in me
Fear nobody but His Majesty, (fear no one)
My spirit, you retrieved,
For you I wait silently, (his majesty)
It seems that you believe in me
Some of them run-run-running like rats on a wheel
Trife will find her new deal
Who is their ticket for a meal?
This world is real on the heels of a final generation
I remember that day in November
Standing on the roof and I'm feeling so tender
All shook up like I've been in the blender
Fend off the demons in the park after dark
Lend me your hand I want to be a member
Spent too much and now im rendered,
Dead mend these wounds we got to find a common thread
Want to fly in the sky but you're heavy like lead
(Chorus)
Just a tool in the hands of the builder
Fill them with the strength to go further
Diggin deep for eternal treasure
Stay away from quicksand and false pleasure
Dare not speak with arrogance
Appearance like a lion lurkin in the mist
They surround and they gaze their fix
Grab the rope of G-d's heritage
(Chorus)
Release me from their schemes
My distress you will relieve
Shield me on the path that's dark and slippery
They seek deception and futility
I stand with integrity
Sneak to the roof of that building
Don't want nobody here to see me
To say that I'm living in a fantasy
But I believe in find and keep
And I plead in sincerity
Wont you utterly remove the cloud hangin over me
Wont cha wave that decree in the shade of your wings
Shelter me from the wicked who have plundered me
From my mortal enemies wont cha shield me
Running from the park
Sleeping out in the rain
From falling down the drain
Feeling drained from the main
Mutilated disease disaster deficient and dead
Raging waves with no name
Raining pain distorted face
Placing blame
Hyper-judging all the time
Lost my mind on the train
Running from the insane
Children taught to blow their brains out in the holy name
Running for fame where everybody knows your name
Running the same vein empty shatters
splattered nothing matters anyway
Running for something to say
Looking for meaning the speech
Running from a fray
It's the great escape
Got to sneak away
When they look away we'll just fade away
Carry me in your memory
If I should pass away before the break of day
Like the light life happy clouds fluff
Hazy rice sunny days puff fly a kite afraid to face the night
What if I can't make it right
The sword cuts both ways
Night and day
Joy that goes away
Things seem to sway
Nothing stays the same
Even in this madness we will survive
Even in this madness we will survive
It's the great escape
Got to sneak away
When they look away we'll just fade away
Carry me in your memory
If I should pass away before the break of day
Running through the forest and I'm running through the woods
Running my whole life running like I should
Running for survival
Running from the rifle
Running for the Bible blood libels and false idols
Craziness inside me
Afraid to pick through the bushes and see
Closed off bogged down reality
Bind barbed wire with no key
Running
Running
It's the great escape
Got to sneak away
When they look away we'll just fade away
Carry me in your memory
When the time is right
I'll leave this place tonight
Just leave everything behind
It's time to face my life
We'll trail a path across that gap
Slap back through a crack in time
Is anyone on the other side?
Seek and you might find
So hi, so lo, I don't know where
But we got to, got to go there, got to got there
So hi, so lo, I don't know where
But we got to, got to go there, got to got there
Why not give up, buck up, drop down?
Why not lie down and never wake up?
Give in, give up and don't get up
Give in to the ground who gives up
A she is frozen in time behind the enemy lines
In the night time she stares down the highway
Which way's the right way?
Walking through this world on a tight rope of memory
The door swings both ways in and out in and outside
So buckle up, it's gonna be a bumpy ride
It's gonna be a bumpy ride
So hi, so lo, I don't know where
But we got to, got to go there, got to got there
So hi, so lo, I don't know where
But we got to, got to go there, got to got there
I am searching for the shade of the tree
Heard about it from a tune in the breeze
They say it exists on the side of the road
But which road nobody was told, so lo
All I know is I must find a road
That leads where nobody goes, so lo
I can roll down all the windows
Where the wind blows down those fears and foes, so hi
So let go of the steering wheel, let go, let go, so lo
All I know is I must find a road
That leads where nobody goes
Let go of the steering wheel, let go, let go
So hi, so lo, I don't know where
But we got to, got to go there, got to got there
So hi, so lo, I don't know where
But we got to, got to go there, got to go there
When the house was burned,
we returned to the desert and wept
son's slaughtered, daughter's raped
gone away are the sun's rays
and the days when our children play
Now they been crushed like grapes.
There ain't no escape.
This is your place, this is your kingdom.
This is your face, broken reflection
Am ma ma-ou...
Burn'n in a burnt down house
Silent victim from bite of regret
Sick with a symptom of name we forget
Forgot the skeleton?? left
Unforgiven, we are forgotten
So...
fill with the venom of an ancient fire that burned our kingdom
on this day the hot breeze (or high priest) sang the anthem
This is your place, this is your kingdom.
This is your face, broken reflection
Who have we become,
what will we be?
One day the moon will shine like the sun
And our heart will feel the love and be numb
Take out your drum and your harps to strum
This is your place, this is your kingdom.
On the way into this world, our soul was born in two Searching for you, I been searching for you Where ya been, where ya running to Where ya got to go, what ya got to do Don't care where were goin, just wanna be with you Put your head on my shoulder, tell me what you been thru When I lose my focus, you remind me of the truth Lift us up to the heavens, for a birds eye view
One woman for me Other half of my soul, you are my queen One woman for me Other half of my soul, roots of my tree
We could forget about galus for a while, our troubles for a while Sometimes I look at you and just smile, sit in the park and just laugh all day Sometimes I just lose it with the things that you say, waiting by the subway But we missed the train, well take the next one if you can pull me away Keep me cool down to earth, and no anxiety Stay Matis with the humble heart always
One woman for me Other half of my soul, you are my queen One woman for me Other half of my soul, roots of my tree
We don't need no umbrella, when we're walking in the rain Sunlight or clouds, its all the same Don't need no umbrella, when we're walking in the rain
So smart and sharp, a soul lovely And beauty shine bright, yes you're there for me Keep the ways of our fathers, how way it use to be Moving forward, don't mean erase our history Look to your ways, and see a girl who wants to do the right thing Dedicated to your life, bigger than you or me Build a temple in our hearts, for his majesty Stay simple, serve god, and keep our deeds clean
(Ahhs solo)
(Ahhs with chorus)
There is a place in the bottom of the soul,
it's no bread of restitution
hearts splash fly like dough
where there is no pollution
you would know words to hold
folks question your solutions
bedrock of a river that flowed
no times, present or future
We are men of - nature
We are made from the earth
at the end of my eighty, I'll return to the dirt
just sand, just rock, dry land, fast and silent
only bein' only breathin'
We're just children of believers.
type, fire and water be strong with compassion
in the morning we're born everlasting
like the grass by the sea
and in-with the wind which knocks ya down time and again
We remain and sing
stand until the dawn of day carries us away
as We sway through the phases of each generation
We leave our trace and then leave this station
fierce fronts, fantasy phased
no blame, untamed or spoken
shiggy walks through this space
on dry land that's cracked and broken
we came: to taste the rain
we're just, widows and orphans
not afraid to feel the pain
or to leave behind our notions
bathe in showers, taste the tension,
hear the howl, climb the mountain,
kiss the cold and feel the frozen
read the dreams in this here dungeon
We are men of - nature
We are made from the earth
at the end of my eighty, I'll return to the dirt
just sand, just rock, dry land, fast and silent
only bein' only breathin'
We're just children of believers.
There is fire in these leaves and therefore naturally,
I'm not afraid to face these seasons.
'cuz, times change and there's no one to blame
even when the day is leavin'
will you lie as though a lion in the morning sun
or will ya, just lay there bleedin'
when the time has come, return to the kingdom
close my eyes and be screamin "freedom"
freedom freedom
freedom, freedom
freedom freedom
freedom
We are men of - nature
We are made from (freedom) the earth
at the end of my eighty, I'll return to the dirt
just sand, just rock, dry land, fast and silent
only bein' only breathin'
We're just children of believers.
We are men of, Nature
We are made from the earth
at the end of my eighty, I'll return to the dirt
just sand, just rock, dry land, fast and silent
only bein' only breathin'
We're just children of believers.
children of believers.
