Matisyahu - Chop 'Em Down
Split this wilderness listen up this ain't where it's at.
Clear a path so that you could find your way back,
Chop 'em down, chop 'em down; chop 'em down, chop 'em down.
Time flies by like clouds passing in the sky,
Lifetimes hear and gone like the blink of an eye.
March through this desert one-step at a time.
March through the desert one step at a time.
From the forest itself comes the handle for the ax,
Drop the staff Moshe rabbainu split the ocean in half.
March through the desert this ain't where it's at;
Chop 'em down, chop 'em down.
Patterns engraved not so easily erased,
Still wandering trying to find your place.
Playing the game I see pain on your face,
Now a day's the yiddin like children sold as slaves.
Strange ways, running through the maze, strange ways,
Always, lost in the desert trying to find your way,
Lost in the desert trying to find your place.
From the forest itself comes the handle for the ax,
Drop the staff Moshe rabbainu split the ocean in half.
March through the desert this ain't where it's at;
Chop 'em down, chop 'em down.
Chop 'em down, chop 'em down.
Joseph descended sold as a slave,
thrown into a dungeon cause he wouldn't be swayed.
Interpreted pharaoh's dreams and Egypt was saved,
Stock piled food for seven years of rain,
Then sold to all the nations when the drought came.
Joseph rose to power and the yiddin stayed,
They started to build and success was made.
Pharos getting worried let's make them pay,
Bound in chains, first born was sent down to their graves.
Moshe was saved and a prince he was raised,
Hashem spoke to him hears a message to relay,
Take my Nation from Mitzrayim, I see the suffering.
Hard hearts ego breaks take sparks and make way,
Trail blaze through the wasteland breaking the chains.
(scatting)
Last generation just the ruminants,
March through the desert leaving footprints.
Peel off the lid this is just plastic,
Gotta get into it, get, get into it
Heavy hitter stepping solid never quitter,
Jump into the ocean before it split, got a jump into it.
Rip, rip, in Egypt rip through it,
Get into it, 600,000 witnessed it, no you didn't forget.
No you didn't forget, in Egypt rip through it,
Got a jump into it..

(scatting)
In the spiritual desert things are not what they seem,
Snakes camouflaged just fit the scene.
Put your faith in a mirage it's just a smoke screen,
The king is sitting on his thrown of glory.
