Matisyahu - Altar of earth

Tekst :

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
2x

One pair of eyes; but see two different things
One person cries while the other one sings
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 hands are empty but he s sitting like a king

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.

    Ancient lullaby

    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

    Why

    Why does your love hurt so much? Why? Why does your love hurt so much? Don t know why

    You know I loved you baby but all the while you just betrayed me in the ? of a ? all the things that you said...

    Realize

    Anytime, anyplace, come around, go away
    There s a sound then it fades, turn it down make it stay
    If I could get off the phone I d deliver the song
    But too much is in my way
    Like a dog to the bone, a leash...

    Black maybe

    [Hook]
    Can t come around
    They gon wanna bring you down
    No one knows just what s inside
    Doing dope and doing time
    Why they messing with your mind
    Black maybe...

    [Common]
    I heard a white man s yes
    Is a black maybe
    I was delivered in this world
    As a crack baby
    Hard for me to pay attention
    And I act...

    Make it in life

    Chorus 2X: Lil Dap & Agallah

    As the weed burn kid, I mma make it in life
    Am I qualified for a crib, a kid and a wife?
    Do I have to stay worried getting shot stabbed with a knife?
