Zalesye (Russian: Зале́сье; literally: "area beyond the forest") or Opolye (Опо́лье; literally: "area in the fields") is a historical region of Russia, comprising the north and west parts of Vladimir Oblast, the north-east of Moscow Oblast and the south of Yaroslavl Oblast. As a kernel of the medieval state of Vladimir-Suzdal, this area played a vital part in the development of Russian statehood.
The name alludes to the deep woods that used to separate the medieval Principality of Rostov from the Republic of Novgorod and the Dnieper principalities. Before the coming of Slavs in the 9th century, the area was inhabited by Merians, Muroma, and other Finnic tribes. In the 10–12th centuries these tribes were subsequently assimilated by the Slavic settlers.
In the twelfth century, this fertile area, being well protected from Turkic incursions by the forests, provided a favourable oasis for Slavic people migrating from the southern borders of Kievan Rus. The population of the area rapidly increased and by 1124 reached the point when Yuri Dolgoruki found it expedient to move his princely seat from Rostov in the Upper Volga Region to Suzdal in Zalesye.
Workin? on really servin? Him in praise
(Worship)
Workin? on really servin? Him in praise
(Worship)
Workin? on really servin? Him in praise
(Worship, worship, worship)
Workin? on really servin? Him in praise
Gaze into His eyes, fantasize the last days
The last phase of God?s untouchable plan
Until then, worship His name
Through this black pen, writin? raps
Or anyway that I can, still praisin? God
'Cause that?s the way that I am, you might call me odd
But that?s aight, we are Souljahz of the Lord
And we are ready to fight, neva will we eva stop
We love Jesus from the bottom of our hearts to the top
Pumpin? God?s blood through our veins
Handcuffed to Jesus Christ and feet shackled in chains
And we don?t wanna be free, we just wanna see
The Savior and Creator of the heavens and seas
G?s not necessary because we
Only need two knees to bow down and worship G O D
Workin? on really servin? Him in praise
(Worship)
Workin? on really servin? Him in praise
(Worship)
Workin? on really servin? Him in praise
(Worship, worship, worship)
Workin? on really servin? Him in praise
When I come through I?m breakin? buildings
And I?m makin? walls fall
Sit back and relax 'cause we got more in store for y?all
So listen up and listen good
We gotta praise God through our whole neighborhood
I should slow it down, so you can understand
What this flow is all about
And we can break down these sounds and take time to meditate
On the word of God so your wisdom can escalate
When you gonna put your foot down, take a note now
Acceptin? God is your only hope now
Reach down, deep down in your heart
You talk the talk but do you walk the walk?
You say you love God but do you really love God?
Will you still love God when situations get hard?
Or will you walk away, or will you get down and pray
And worship the Lord almighty like we?
Workin? on really servin? Him in praise
(Worship)
Workin? on really servin? Him in praise
(Worship)
Workin? on really servin? Him in praise
(Worship, worship, worship)
Workin? on really servin? Him in praise

The Lord almighty
Ain?t it odd people take God so lightly, check it
Satan is waitin? to fight me and you might say
That I?m dumb for walkin? away, I chose the right way
Despite the obstacles that stand
In my way don?t play praise God with two hands
Lift 'em up to the sky, head to the ground
Every knee will bow down, to Jesus don?t play around
And if you say you found God then prove it
Profess it with yo tongue you gotta mouth, son use it
Jesus is the name above all names
Forget a famous superstar, God possess all fame
He posses all thing around me, around me
Word, His Holy words neva seize to astound me
