The Ma'abarot (Hebrew: מַעְבָּרוֹת plural) were refugee absorption camps in Israel in the 1950s. The Ma'abarot were meant to provide accommodation for the large influx of Jewish refugees and new Olim (Jewish immigrants) arriving to the newly independent State of Israel, replacing the less habitable immigrant camps or tent cities. The ma'abarot began to decline by mid 1950s and were largely transformed into Development Towns. The last Ma'abara was closed in 1963.
The Hebrew word Ma'abara (singular) derives from the word ma'avar (Hebrew: מעבר, transit). Ma'abarot (plural) were meant to be temporary communities for the new arrivals. Immigrants housed in these communities were Jewish refugees mainly from Middle East and North Africa, as well as Holocaust survivors from Europe.
The sudden arrival of over 130,000 Iraqi Jews in Israel in the early 1950s meant that almost a third of immigrant camp dwellers were of Iraqi Jewish origin. At the end of 1949 there had been 90,000 Jews housed in immigration camps; by the end of 1951 this population rose to over 220,000 people, in about 125 separate communities.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ooooo
Woh no no no no no no oooo
I had a love in every town
I swore that I would sooner die than ever settle down
Me and my hobo heart
Me and my hobo heart
Now look and see what love has done
My feet are rooted to the ground
Just when I wanna turn around and run
Me and my hobo heart
Me and my hobo heart
I look down the lonesome highway
A lover in every town
And I swore that I would far sooner die than
Settle down again
Then I asked myself a question
What places could I go to
What road could I take, what trip could I make
That wouldn't lead back, that wouldn't lead back
Ahhhhh
Me and my hobo heart
And now my travelin' days are through
And ridin' horses in the sand
Or walkin' with you hand in hand will do
Me and my hobo heart
Me and my hobo heart
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Whoa no no no no no no
Con tanto dolor no puedo contigo
sin ti no puedo
es noche y sin ti no quiero
no quiero un te quiero
pero cuanto te quiero
con tanto colchón me pierdo
conozco el camino, pero me pierdo
es día y sin ti no quiero
ni siquiera quererte
pero cuanto te quiero
es muy duro saber
cual es la mejor mujer
es muy duro saber
con tantas horas al día
me entierro
te quiero volando conmigo
me entierro
es tarde y sin ti no quiero
no quisiera quererte
pero cuanto te quiero
no se ni la hora, espero
es mediodía y sin ti no quiero
no quiero olvidarte
pero pasa el tiempo
no quisiera quererte
pero cuanto te quiero
no sé ni la hora, espero
es mediodía y sin ti no quiero
no quiero olvidarte
pero pasa el tiempo
no quisiera quererte
pero cuanto te quiero
es muy duro saber
cual es la mejor mujer
es duro saber
el tiempo pasa
nos vamos poniendo menos
es muy duro reconocer
cual es la mejor mujer
es muy duro saber
con tanto dolor no puedo
contigo o sin ti, no quiero
no quisiera quererte
pero te quiero.
Maybe you've heard, your ole buddy's gone crazy
Searching for words, too deep, sweet reason and rhyme
Living alone, more and more and he's prone to be lazy
Turning to stone, blasted and blind.
Chorus:
Don't turn away there, hey, goddamn you, he was your brother
Turn on your father, sister, mother, brother
He was your friend.
Don't you condemn him, leave it to strangers
You ought to know him, give him a hand, if you can
But at least for jesus christ's sake, understand him.
Maybe you've heard that they say that the lady's been changing
Day after day, more than her mind
Learning to play, where the part has her turning to strangers
Going too far, line after line.
Chorus:
Don't turn away there - hey - goddamn you, you used to love her
Turn on your father, sister, mother, mister
She was your friend.
Don't you condemn her, leave it to strangers
You ought to know her, give her a hand, if you can

[Verse 1]
Ain't no tellin' what this hip lowered do to me
I'm feelin' like I can do what I want now
Dip-low immunity
Shorty! just shake your hips slow and move wit me
Take a hit of this and sip slow and thoroughly
You're sneakin' out on your man, tip-toein' to the V
Cause I know you got him whipped though like wannabe
Let's put on a live strip show just you and me
But girl, I'm lookin' at them lips though like who is he?
They ain't never seen a whip, clothes or jewelry
So when I ask "you wanna leave the zip-code?"
Say "sure" and be me
But this is my party
Stroll by if you want to
Or y'all can stay home
But why would you want to?
We gon' party, till we laid in graves
Sweat out our doobie braids and waves
Then scream "hey-hey-hey yo"
That groupie made her wait
Cuz when she seen the whips and chains
She started talking 'bout she ready to be made a slave, c'mon
[Hook] 2x
This is my party
So get fly if you want to
Get high if you want to cuz I know you want to
Put your hands up as high as you want to
And if it feels good scream "hey-hey-hey yo"
[Verse 2]
I don't know about y'all
But we doin' it over here
All the glasses got liquid that's blue in it over here
Cigars got somethin' sticky that's glueing it over here
Ladies movin' it over there, movin' it over here
I can fit a few in a Rover's rear
We havin' a good time, don't ruin it overs this
You see why we asks is to see ID
Cuz girls will do anything for some VIP access
Me I relax this (easy)
Cause I'm used to ballin'
You could tell that these guys need practice
But if it was a problem then I would confront you
You saying "over" bet ya I say "you want to"
But a pitcher that probably slugs, pitches and talk a put
I ride wit the top down and switch to the top-up look
Would you believe most these bitches go bop up shook
Their asses pokin' out like them pictures in pop up books
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Oh yea, we's off the Richter Scale
Hate will get you, put in coffins quick as hell
If the ladies would show it off and thick as hell
For my hustlers knockin' off them bricks as well
And everybody, up north that's sick in jail
I probably feel y'all, send you all of the flicks in mail
The Street Family speed off in six SL's
To all them chicks at Yale "hey-hey-hey-hey yo"
Shake your glasses back and forth to mix it well
Shake your ass back and forth as quick as hell
And just from lookin' at them thighs from the front view
Girl I know that these guys say they want you
I wake up in the same clothes from yesterday
Same hoes from yesterday
Lightin' clips to the same dro' from yesterday
Her hang-overs yesterday
You ain't mistaken' we in Benz's today
But we had them Range Rovers yesterday
[Hook]
Hey-hey-hey yo...
Hey-hey-hey yo...

We went down to the May Parade
Mumbled words under my breath
There is something I've been meaning to do
I am dying to tell you
I've been so damn tired
It went down at the May Parade
Bitter words under my breath
There is somethign I've been meaning to do
I was meaning to tell you
I've been so damn tired
'cause I spy something wrong
You don't know how far you've gone
Or recognize who you've become
How'd you grow to be so hard
Sick of playing my part
We went down at the May Parade
Alcohol under my breath
There is something I've been meaning to do
I am dying to tell you
I've been so damn sad
'cause I spy something wrong
You don't know how far you've gone
Or recognize who you've become
How'd you grow to be so hard
Oh way oh way oh way oh , oh oh oh oh!!!!
You can not take my pride away oh oh oh oh!!!!!!
I fight you every single day oh oh oh oh!!!!!!!
It's not my battle don't you know? oh oh oh oh !!!!!!!
The poor do suffer, but don't show.oh oh oh oh !!!!!!!
You live 3000 miles away
I hope you realize it
I wish you stopped your stupid way
You wasted too much of my time
Oh way oh way oh way oh , oh oh oh oh !!!!!!!!
Why can't you see what's going on! oh oh oh oh !!!!
Someone may starve but you're still gone oh oh oh oh !!!!!!!!!
You fight for human rights all day oh oh oh oh !!!!!
Why can't you back up what you say oh oh oh oh !!!!!
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Oh way oh way oh way oh, oh oh oh oh !!!!!!!!!!
It?s changing all to yellow and it?s carving a path
So now we?re on our way
It?s taking us on journeys
While we wipe away frowns amongst the crowded place
Say why you never call me? No, you never seem to call me
Now that I?m okay
I?ll beat you in the end
And every time you turn around, here comes the coming of age
Oh, she saw my party, she saw my party
Oh, she saw my party, she saw my party
I cock and load my mergers when you question my mood
'Cause you ain?t got no taste
You talking 'bout my baby
I could flip him upside down and I could mop his place
Say why you never saw me? No, you never seen my calling
Right in front your face
I smoke you in the end
And don?t you ever turn around 'cause here's that coming of age
Oh, she saw my party, she saw my party
Oh, she saw my party, she saw my party
Oh, she saw my party, she saw my party
Oh, she saw my party, she saw my party
Oh, oh
Oh, she saw my party
Oh, she saw my party
Oh, she saw my party, she saw my party
Oh, she saw my party, she saw my party
Oh, she saw my party, she saw my party
Oh, she saw my party, she saw my party
Oh, she saw my party, she saw my party
Oh, she saw my party, she saw my party
If I was dirt that filled up your life
If I was dirt, so pure and so refined
I'd be the dirt that
That blackened all that shined
Which one would show a purity?
Which one could show how curious
This purity has been?
My purity, my purity
My thoroughness, my purity
My purity, my purity
My thoroughness, my purity
My purity, my purity
My thoroughness, my purity
My purity, my purity
My thoroughness
If I was dirt that would make you lie
Could I be dirt in your irreverent smile?
Please pass the dirt
I'll have some on mine
Which one would show my purity?
Which one could show how curious
This purity has been?
My purity, my purity
My thoroughness, my purity
My purity, my purity
My thoroughness, my purity
My purity, my purity
My thoroughness, my purity
My purity, my purity
My thoroughness
Drag me down and plough me under
Nothing stays the same
Drag me down and plough me under
Nothing will ever change
If I was the dirt you brought
Through your doorstep
Did that dirt leave you feeling molested?
How was that dirt that you've ingested?
Which one would show my purity?
Which one could show how curious
This purity has been?
My purity, my purity
My thoroughness, my purity
My purity, my purity
My thoroughness, my purity
My purity, my purity
My thoroughness, my purity
My purity, my purity
My thoroughness, my purity
My purity, my purity
My thoroughness, my purity
My purity, my purity
My thoroughness, my purity
My purity, my purity
My thoroughness, my purity
All this weight that's put on my back
What's it gonna take to make it crack
It takes all I've got just to get by
Can't get ahead no matter what I try
Think everything I do is wrong
And that I have waited for too long
To do what's right and be a man
You could never understand
I won't break my stride
I'll never lose my pride
Well all I've got it's all for me
I won't live for your society
It takes all I've got just to make ends meet
So what I've got it belongs to me
The ones that matter stick by my side
And give me strength to stay in stride
Stop, rephrase all those words cause I've never seen such ignorance on anyone's face
Wallowed in the filthy air and the demons gently fill the void in my eyes
Barricade myself with beautiful lies
Flawed and broken till the end
Sustained like an endless condescend
Maybe we're better off if we just pretend that these words weren't spoken
Stop, reclaim all those words, cause they're beating me up and scattered all over the place
Wallowed in the pristine air and the demons gently fill the void in my head
Fabricate every word I've said
When the heart cannot steer
Seduced to interfere
With no restraints we play the selfish whore
Drowned by the passion and thirsty for some more
So don't tell me lies to try to placate the soul
Remove my fucking conscience and cleanse me of my thoughts
Drowned by passion and choking on the mold
So who is responsible for breaking away from these strings
Was it worth the trouble a lonely tin can on an empty highway
Running from choices with no hope, no sense of purpose
No time to decide
With the sultry eyes and the pure ivory skin, the demon
Gently fills the void in my arms with something precious and something warm
If it's all just for show

[Storyteller]
Set aside your mind, your mind
Be forgiving and kind
Is it all worthwhile?
Tonight, tonight
I'm here for you
And I feel like a child again
I never knew I'd take it this far
Try to hide the pain
But I never knew he'd jeopardize
My pride
In my life, I tried, I try
To take it all with a stride
But I feel like I
Just this time
Must step aside
It wears me out
Don't pressure me about it
He brings you down
You know it, so come on
I can't be a part
Of his communism
And it stops for me today
Okay?
Say goodbye to me tonight
'Cause it's over this time
He's like a bridge on fire
And you, and you
Your own demise
And I feel like a child again
I never knew I'd take it this far
Try to hide the pain
But I never knew you'd jeopardize..
Fueron tus ojos la unica razon
De que mi vida tuviera una ilusion
Fuiste envolviendo de calma mi interior
Nunca me sueltes por favor
Llena mi vida corazon
Porque pierdo en tus besos
Y te siento tan dentro
Que en tus brazos no
Hay miedo ni dolor
Descubri en tu silencio
Que me dices te quiero
Y no puedo vivir sin tu amor
Por un momento pense que no era yo
Pero llegaste y me hiciste ver quien soy
Un solo instante basto para los dos
Nunca me sueltes por favor
Llena mi vida corazon
Porque pierdo en tus besos
Y te siento tan dentro
Que en tus brazos no
Hay miedo ni dolor
Descubri en tu silencio
Que me dices te quiero
Ya no puedo vivir
Ya no puedo vivir sin tu amor
Naranana naranana
Porque pierdo en tus
Y te siento tan dentro
Que en tus brazos no
Hay miedo ni dolor
Descubri en tu silencio
Que me dices te quiero
Ya no puedo vivir sin tu amor
(I might give out, but I'll never give in...)
[Verse 1:]
What am I gonna do?
I'm sitting here missing you.
It's taking everything in me to not call and say to you,
"I'm sorry for what I did, it was wrong what I did."
But we all make mistakes and I hope it's not to late, but...
[Chorus:]
My pride won't let me call you and apologize.
It's selfish to say, but my pride won't let me come to you
And look you in the eyes and say, "Baby, I'm sorry."
[Verse 2:]
Want it back... you and me.
We were mean to be lovers forever, doin this together.
It was foolish to think that you'd put up with me.
I want you to want me back, but I'll never tell you that because...
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
Oh I wish I was the kind of woman who
Says "I'm sorry to you, " it's selfish but true.
Oh I wish I had the personality to get down on my knees
And say, "Please forgive me, but... "
(Ba da da ba da da, ba ba, ba da da ba da da)
The day's divided my attention
Like a thousand days before
So as darkness falls around me
I'm in need of something more
For the wretch from the Redeemer
For the sinner from the Son
Who is arrayed in light forever
Who is the only Holy One
His heart has never hardened
His tongue has never lied
He sure has affected my pride
So I've harbored my redemption
And I've gathered my regrets
And I've gathered my regrets
And I've struggled like a debtor
Who's still carrying his debts
I've wandered like an orphan
Down every dirty street
Till I stood before the Man
Who bent down to wash my feet
And then He brought me to His table
A son He never denied
He sure has affected my pride
I used to put You to the test
Used to barrel out my chest
So much bigger than the rest
But now I'm crawling on my face
For a Savior's saving grace
It looks like You've finally put me
Into a place where I realize
It's time we got together
A Father and His son
The day threw dice for my affection
And now You're the only One
Who interprets my condition
Who sees clearly through the wreck
Who saw me crumble 'neath the weight
Of this piece of tin around my neck
A cross I never could've carried
No matter how hard I tried
He sure has affected my pride
Yeah, He sure has affected my pride
The day's divided my attention
Like a thousand days before
So as darkness falls around me
(c. Tasty Snax)
Well don't you rain on my parade
I've had enough of you charade
and don't you pee on my fire
what might be yours ain't my desire
I did something good but you try to ruin
why can't you just be happy for me
and when I fail you're the first to know
why can't you just let it be whoa wo
woa wo whoa let it be whoa wo whoa wo whoa let it be
I say I'm right you say I'm wrong
but who are you to ruin my song
it's red to me it's blak to you
and when I say I win you say I lose
I did something good but you try to ruin
why can't you just be happy for me
and when I fail you're the first to know
Uh huh, Uh huh
Uh huh, Uh huh
Don't know why he is not here
And I called him more than twice
But he won't pick up
Where the guys
I had a couple of friends come
Not the ones I really like
What the f*ck
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, Cr-cr-cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
You would cry too if it happened to you
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, Cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
You would cry, Yeah yeah yeaahhh
I was gonna do it big,
Make it live for a hundred nights
I put my best dress on
All the prize, now the zipper broke in the back
So my cracks hanging out
I wish they all go home
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, Cr-cr-cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
You would cry too if it happened to you
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, Cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
You would cry, Yeah yeah yeaahhh
Uh huh Uh huh
Uh huh Uh huh
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, Cr-cr-cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
You would cry too if it happened to you
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, Cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
You would cry, Yeah yeah yeaahhh
Uh huh Uh huh
Wait for time to turn are you calling my name again same talk with the same loose friends about calling you
staying young in my mind in the window that'll reflect the sun left on a moving perch singing out loud
and now you're far away and nothing will ease the pain now trouble is on
my parade my parade my parade my parade my parade
cold on the bone from a borrowed dress on a sunday morning once more once less my words on the page and their ruined in ink
so now you're far away and nothing will ease the pain now trouble is on
my parade my parade my parade my parade
and i still don't know and i still don't know and i still don't know
(I might give out, but I'll never give in...)
