Music Is The Anthem

(альбом: Matisyahu - 2022)

Move up over the hill
No more coke no more pills
Though I do like to chill
Yo those crows give me chills
Now I fire at will
And I'm hiring ill
Muthafuckas that know how to run my business well
What's on the other side
After the sacrifice
When you climbed up a mountain
And survived the highs
Where the air goes thin
And ya insides die
Then you took a long ride through the countryside
Undercurrent brought you here
To the place you reside
I don't really get high
I don't really ask why
When the beat drops out
Hear the breeze blow by
Now I'm feeling so fly
Wit my legs stretched out wide
On my porch in my shorts
Like those Hollywood times
41 get it done
Pack my elements tight
Now I rise with the sun
And I'm sleeping at night
No shows in like a year
COVID got me retired
Now I take in the view
Got me feeling inspired
First time in a while
That I haven't felt tired
When my kids make me smile
Nothing make me feel higher

And music is the anthem
To jump the enclosure
You are my shelter
From over exposure
To those who grow hard
Hearts like stone from the posture
This is make up
So please spare the lecture

As I stroll on porch, torch up a jay
For strength and for guidance I pray
Light my way
If my eyes get dim
In my old age
Like Isaac
Or Jacob
Or the lion
From Jamaica
At times you rely
On the teachers that take ya
But never the saviours
They can not make ya
If I don't see ya now
I might see ya later
Always been my flavor
My preference when I enter
To my neighbor
I like the bass is loud
Sometimes it takes over

And music is the anthem
To jump the enclosure
You are my shelter
From over exposure
To those who grow hard
Hearts like stone from the posture
This is make up
So please spare the lecture

Since my inception
I set my intention
When I was a young man
To lift the creation
Find beauty
Find patience
That's my creator
And we are the creation
In each and every way son
On each and every station
In each and every relation
Each and every nation
A whole generation
A voice
There's a reason
A purpose
A choice
For elation
