Matisyahu - Jerusalem
Tekst :
[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]
Inne utwory
Late night in zion Heights Watching the wheels Lord raise me up Warrior Roots in stereo Altar of earth Strength of my life Fire of heaven King without a crown Dispatch the troops Exaltation Ancient lullaby Candle Refuge Time of your song Beat box Aish tamid Losowe utwory
Put the pedal to the metal let s turn it out
Let s show these motherfuckers what it s all about
Is it all about the pride all about the crowd
Run from a cop never drop on a dime
Put your hands up cause I m clockin dough
Don t never say a...
Jeśli cię spotkam w życiu przyszłym
możesz być pewna - poznam cię
nawet gdy wszystkie twe pieprzyki
zmienią na mapie miejsca swe
jeśli cię spotkam w innym świecie
starczy że przejdziesz obok mnie
z tobą to samo będzie przecież
staniesz i powiesz imię me
w nowym wcieleniu gdy...
YO!
(1st Verse)
Good evening ladies and gents, close and distant fam
Let me break it down for ya ll exactly who I am...(CAV)
That brotha straight off of Myrtle Ave
That dude that make the other dude say that s my man, (CAV)...
My whole life rides on the mood of my lady
Her ups and downs are turning my life around
She s happy today, it s like a breath of new life
But tomorrow her sorrow will tear me down.
Slowly, oh slowly I can tell that she needs me
It shows right through the walls...
Puisque demain, toi, tu vas partir
Dis-moi ce que je dois lui dire.
Dis-lui simplement que sur nos souvenirs
Je me retournerai souvent.
Si elle veut savoir où tu es?
Si elle me demande ce que tu fais?
Dis-lui que j...
