Album Cover Music is the Anthem

Music is the Anthem

Matisyahu

5

Move up over the hill

No more coke no more pills

Though I do like to chillYo 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 sleepin′ at night

No shows in like a year

Covid got me retired

Now I take in the view

Got me feelin' 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
