It’s like I’m walking through this kingdom of time
Thus far I’ve done lost my mind
Only to find, the other side
Is where the world opens wide
Through desolate city streets late at night
I’ve been searching for my bite
They say I’d inspire but I’m still looking for my fire
These lies have got me tired
I’m free falling, I’m done stalling
I’m done crawling up this mountain top
I won’t stop ‘til I manifest my crop
The top is close
I’m sky scraping, they stay chasing
I’m like a raisin in the sun; I’m running from death’s invasion
They’re done I’m going grey I’m still young having mystic visions of the one
I hear the hum, the melody comes
Rushing in like some wind, cuts close like a knife
All I’ve got is my life, All I got
(Chorus)
Crossroads, one million miles
I’m kicking up dirt when I fly by
Crossroads, one million miles
I’m kicking up dirt when I fly by
Now the rain is falling
Drizzle dropping
On the street, clean off the dirt
Beneath my feet, I got this beat on repeat
While I’m riding subway trains
Artifacts over tracks, that go crack
My heart’s black but intact
I’ve come to take the music back
I’m moving forward
This sound, you can’t ignore it
Put the pedal to the floor and stay pure
Through the slime and the scum
The time has come, I lunge for it
I’m tight rope, walking over fiery flames and hot coals
I’m like water for you trolls
I pay no tolls, speak to ghosts
And find the most high
In cracks that you walk by
Got my eye in tune to see you goons
I’m magic fly off on the broom
Witches stew, which way to choose
I’m at the crossroads
But I’ll never give my soul, it’s already owned
(Chorus)
Crossroads, one million miles
I’m kicking up dirt when I fly by
Crossroads, one million miles
I’m kicking up dirt when I fly by
I’m a slave to the throne
The chariot flames is my home
I’m in a class of my own
Lights out, you’re all alone
With your heart of stone
Crossroads, one million miles
I’m kicking up dirt when I fly by
Crossroads, one million miles
I’m kicking up dirt when I fly by
Crossroads, one million miles
I’m kicking up dirt when I fly by
Crossroads, one million miles
I’m kicking up dirt when I fly by
Feel like the world don’t love you
They only wanna push you away
Some days people don’t see you
You feel like you’re in the way
Today, you feel as everyone hates
Pointing their finger looking at your mistakes
You do good, they want great
No matter what you give, they still wanna take
You give your love and they throw it back
You give your heart, they go on attack
When there’s nothing left for you
Only thing that you can do, say
(Chorus)
Today, today, live like you wanna
Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire
In a fire, in a fire
Fight like a warrior
Today, today, live like you wanna
Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire
In a fire, in a fire
Live like a warrior
There some things you should let go
They’re only gonna pull you down
Just like weight on your shoulder
They’re only gonna make you drown
We all swing high, we all swing low
We all got secrets people don’t know
We all got dreams we can’t let go
We wanna be brave, don’t be afraid, no
(Chorus)
Today, today, live like you wanna
Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire
In a fire, in a fire
Fight like a warrior
Today, today, live like you wanna
Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire
In a fire, in a fire
Live like a warrior
Your heart is so heavy
From things you carry a long time
Been up, you been down
Tired and you don’t know why
But you’re never gonna go back
You only live one life
Let go, let go, let go
Let go, let go, let go
(Chorus)
Today, today, live like you wanna
Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire
In a fire, in a fire
Fight like a warrior
Today, today, live like you wanna
Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire
In a fire, in a fire
Live like a warrior
Today, today, live like you wanna
Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire
In a fire, in a fire
Fight like a warrior
Today, today, live like you wanna
Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire
In a fire, in a fire
Live like a warrior
Keep on moving til the first rays of dawn
Keeping in on til the day stays strong
Roll until the night time blazes on
All along, I keep singing my song
I say, this phase is old ways
Sometimes I get so crazed
But just know that I’ll always stay
Cause you’re my light through the haze
It’s time for a champion
To sooth the soul of the land
Mend the heart from the sea and the sand
Til the sun comes up again
Time for a champion
To sooth the soul of the land
Mend the heart from the sea and the sand
Til the sun comes up again
(Chorus)
Reach for the sky; keep your eye on the prize
Forever in my mind, be my golden sunshine
It’s raining in your mind so push them clouds aside
Forever by my side, you’re my golden sunshine
When the sun set, I let myself down
Found the ground beneath my feet gone
No more words were there to speak
On that day my song was born
Never meant to leave you all alone
Said I’d be your shelter from the storm
Now your clothes have all been torn
Kingdom sacked attacked and dethroned
It’s time for a champion
To sooth the soul of the land
Mend the heart from the sea and the sand
Til the sun comes up again
Time for a champion
To sooth the soul of the land
Mend the heart from the sea and the sand
Til the sun comes up again
(Chorus)
Reach for the sky; keep your eye on the prize
Forever in my mind, be my golden sunshine
It’s raining in your mind so push them clouds aside
Forever by my side, you’re my golden sunshine
It’s the way of the world
You’re on your own
time to grow and be a man
Wanna fly high like peter pan
No more never never land
Just lose your backpack filled with sand
Come along and take my hand, we’ll walk together walk forever
Reach for the sky; keep your eye on the prize
Forever in my mind, be my golden sunshine
It’s raining in your mind so push them clouds aside
Forever by my side, you’re my golden sunshine
Reach for the sky; keep your eye on the prize
Forever in my mind, be my golden sunshine
It’s raining in your mind so push them clouds aside
Forever by my side, you’re my golden sunshine
Oh, oh, oh, walk with me now, talk with me now
Oh, oh, oh, walk with me now, talk with me now baby
Oh, oh, oh, walk with me now, talk with me now baby
Oh, oh, oh, walk with me now, talk with me now
Let go, of what ya know
Return to the land of the rainbow
Where the sun hangs low, and the wind does blow
And the time it moves so slow
It creeps and go, through the window
Turn to the land where the wild may roam
And the buffalo go, yeah the buffalo go
Where the wild may roam, yeah
Across the country side search far and wide
Diggin’ till I reach up on the other side
Streams and the rivers and the oceans and there’s trees
And I’ll swim with the fishes down deep
(Chorus)
I’ve been searching for you
I’ve been searching far and wide
I’ve been searching for you
All my life, my life
I’ve been searching for you
I’ve been searching far and wide
I’ve been searching for you
All my life, my life, my life
Lift your eyes, up on the hillside
Sunrise and I fight to see through the lies
Keep upon the skies and the clouds so high
When I fly to the heights I’m feeling oh so right
Running ‘pon the land and I’m picking up sand
When I stand and deliver the plan
Won’t you please back down or get slammed to the ground
When my sound strike thunder
While you pillage and plunder
Now you wonder why you’re going under
Got yourself on the run from the number one
That you can’t run from
Your spirit fades, you feel hunger
I’ve been searching for you
I’ve been searching far and wide
I’ve been searching for you
All my life, my life
I’ve been searching for you
I’ve been searching far and wide
I’ve been searching for you
All my life, my life, my life
In the earth there are so many wonderful treasures
And if you know where to dig then you’ll find gold and diamond
I’ve been searching for you
I’ve been searching far and wide
I’ve been searching for you
All my life, my life
I’ve been searching for you
I’ve been searching far and wide
I’ve been searching for you
All my life, my life, my life
In the earth there are so many wonderful treasures
And if you know where to dig you’ll find gold and diamonds and silver
And all kinds of treasures
But if you don’t know where to dig, all you’ll find is rock and dirt
A rebbe is the geologist of the soul
He can show you where to dig, and what to dig for
But the digging you must do yourself
The digging you must do yourself
On the day when a man was born, hop from one world to another
I don’t know who you are, even when we face each other
When I wake up I know you’re here, this is everything that you’ve done
I’ve got nothing to fear, because the battles already been won
(Chorus)
This is the time of divine favor
Sublime love cuts, like a razor
Burning up our fear and pain
Ascending fire like a laser beam
This is the time of divine favor
Sublime love cuts, like a razor
Burning up our fear and pain
Ascending fire like a laser beam
Search heavens and the seven seas
The answer lies inside you
You know it won’t come easy
You’ve got to find your own truth
When I returned to the lower garden I saw many souls living and dead
Rushing back and forth ascending from one world to the next
The joy was too great for our ears to hear or for words to express
All were bein forgiven for stolen time and debts
Asked me to come with them, cause of the glory of your contemplation
You’ve been given eyes to see, looking for a prophet to accompany me
But alone I must go on my own, flyin with my very own set of wings
I reached the highest heights, knocking on the door of the king of kings
(Chorus)
This is the time of divine favor
Sublime love cuts, like a razor
Burning up our fear and pain
Ascending fire like a laser beam
This is the time of divine favor
Sublime love cuts, like a razor
Burning up our fear and pain
Ascending fire like a laser beam
Search heavens and the seven seas
The answer lies inside you
You know it won’t come easy
You’ve got to find your own truth
(Verse/Outro)
It’s your life to live; I can’t live it for you
It’s your time to give and I can’t give it for you
It’s your fear to lose; I can’t lose it for you
Death or life so choose and I put both before you
So, find your word of truth
You’ve got to find your word of truth
It’s your life to live; I can’t live it for you
It’s your time to give and I can’t give it for you
Search heavens and the seven seas
The answer lies inside you
You know it won’t come easy
You’ve got to find your own truth
And I remember, when I was running after you
Can’t keep up, girl you know it’s true
I know sometimes I’ve been down so blue
But it’s not about that cause you know what to do
Not about the he said, she said, you said
I said, not about the show
Not about the flow or the sound that rise
Early days and the late, late nights
(Chorus)
I’m on my way to you
I’m on my way to you
I believe in love
Sitting so high in a tree
I believe in love
You’re my reason to be
Believe in love, yeah
Now I’m free
(Verse)
It’s not about trains, or the planes, or the automobile
It’s just about the way that you make me feel
In this world of lies, this is something real
I’ve said some things but it’s time we heal
It’s not about the fast life in my past life
I asked you to be my wife
I know sometimes this love, it cuts like a knife
But I want to end this strife
(Chorus)
I’m on my way to you
I’m on my way to you
I believe in love
Sitting so high in a tree
I believe in love
You’re my reason to be
Believe in love, yeah
Now I’m free
I believe in love
Sitting so high in a tree
I believe in love
You’re my reason to be
Believe in love, yeah
Now I’m free
I believe in love
Sitting so high in a tree
I believe in love
You’re my reason to be
Believe in love, yeah
Now I’m free

Buffalo soldier
No I’m not a Rasta
Used to be a mobster
Burning up the block bra
Buffalo soldier
No I’m not a Rasta
Used to be a mobster
Burning up the block bra
Don’t judge a book by the cover
Every single being in this world is your brother
When I look upon the page and uncover
Ancient words that teach me to love ya
So we burn to return to the mother
And we yearn to unlearn all they told you, about yourself
Who you are, what you should be
I’m gonna be free, leave it up to me
Raise your glass to the sky, look out through the night
Feel alright
The stars burn bright, highlight the moonlight
Be alright
Buffalo soldier
No I’m not a Rasta
Used to be a mobster
Burning up the block bra
Buffalo soldier
No I’m not a Rasta
Used to be a mobster
Burning up the block bra
Buffalo soldier
No I’m not a Rasta
Used to be a mobster
Burning up the block bra
Bass is the medicine
I’m out a bedouin
The knife I’m burying
This life I’m treasuring
I went running away to the cave
Went in a slave and came out all flames
I went running away for the hills
Back to my roots and I’m running still
But now I’m running to face my dreams
Find my place and what it means
To find yourself and no one else
You have to leave it up to me
Leave it up to me
Buffalo soldier
No I’m not a Rasta
Used to be a mobster
Burning up the block bra

(Shyne)
Buffalo soldier
No I’m not a Rasta
I used to be a mobster
Burning down the block bra
I shot the sheriff, the DA, and the deputy
Sorry Al Sharpton, I don’t need you to lecture me
Maybe I’ll stop talking about guns
When you talk about the funds that they cut for the youth
Just cut to the truth
Ain’t enough for the youth
So tell me how you judge me till you stuck in these shoes
Where the congressman, where are the senators
We think about that green, not the color of the president
Race is just irrelevant survival is the sentiment
Narcotics is the only way you know I’m gonna measure it
They say that we are in a post-obama era
Well exactly what that means; you need to make it clearer
Does it mean that the rich gonna finally start to share a
Greater a portion of a wealth and make things fairer
Asking God why the poor people suffer
But I’m such a hypocrite in Rolls Royce mufflers
In the gulles, nobody never loved us
I am just a result of pain and hunger

Fan the flame from the fire of freedom
Fan the flame from the fire of freedom
Fan the flame from the fire of freedom
From out of the fire, into the flame
Runnin pon the land, we be going insane
Tough like a truck, keep me comin’ through the rain
Got me coming when I’m running
Got ya feeling ok
I’m the kind of man make you fly like a plane
Take you on a vacation from the pain
Rolling like thunder like a runaway train
Let me take you on an escapade
I say, Oh, yo yo
Oh, Oh, oh oh oh oh oh
Oh, yo yo
Oh, Oh, oh oh oh oh oh
(Chorus)
I’m gonna keep on going, keep on rising
Elevate your mind it’s all in the timing
Light up the freedom flame
Open up, the skies your highway
Keep it going til we’ve reached the right way
Light up the freedom flame
Got roots like a tree, holding me down
With my eyes on the sky but my feet on the ground
And the people all come when they want to gather round
And they hear some distant sound
Split the sea, jump in with me
Tonight we leave, in the streets we scream, Freedom!
I said I let it all ring
I said I let it all ring
Oh, Oh, Oh
(Chorus)
I’m gonna keep on going, keep on rising
Elevate your mind it’s all in the timing
Light up the freedom flame
Open up, the skies your highway
Keep it going til we’ve reached the right way
Light up the freedom flame
Once I was in the dungeon
Now I can taste my freedom
I’m seeing rainbows and rays of light
These are the things make me feel allright
Air tight, out of sight, like in the limelight
When you enter it right, it’s bound to be allright
When the train hits and it’s on track
The hurricane’s back, and I’m gone til the lights
fade black
fade black
Let it all rain down
(Chorus)
I’m gonna keep on going, keep on rising
Elevate your mind it’s all in the timing
Light up the freedom flame
Open up, the skies your highway
Keep it going til we’ve reached the right way
Light up the freedom flame
I can feel the way
My love is coming through
Ignite the flame
My life is served for you
Fight the night and do what I got to do
Kiss the sky to prove myself
Just clear the way
My love is coming through
On the day when a man was born, hop from one world to another
I don’t know who you are, even when we face each other
When I wake up I know you’re here, this is everything that you’ve done
I’ve got nothing to fear, because the battles already been won
(Chorus)
This is the time of divine favor
Sublime love cuts, like a razor
Burning up our fear and pain
Ascending fire like a laser beam
This is the time of divine favor
Sublime love cuts, like a razor
Burning up our fear and pain
Ascending fire like a laser beam
Search heavens and the seven seas
The answer lies inside you
You know it won’t come easy
You’ve got to find your own truth
When I returned to the lower garden I saw many souls living and dead

Death or life so choose and I put both before you
So, find your word of truth
You’ve got to find your word of truth
It’s your life to live; I can’t live it for you
It’s your time to give and I can’t give it for you

Now I’m free
I believe in love
Sitting so high in a tree
I believe in love
You’re my reason to be
Believe in love, yeah
Now I’m free
When I return gonna burn to the sun
I’ll be back chips stacked and I run
For the hills gotta buy some time
Keep your thrills, gotta lose my mind
Find my heart now where the sun shines
Climb and climb looking for some sign
Don’t leave me cause I’ll be left behind
I just want someone to walk the line
Next to me, cause all alone
You’re a king without his thrown
Don’t you know it’s time to come home
Without his people you’re alone
I’m done trying this
I’m done trying that
It comes down to this
It came down to that
I looked up, looked down, the world’s not flat
It’s time to get out of this trap
Strike the match light the flame
It could never be the same
Like two candles
We fly through the night
Run this race
There’s no end in sight
Together we can handle this
We can make it all all right
I’m here for you
Are you here for me
We can just be
Look for me I’m all over the place
Looking up into your clouds searching for a face
They say I may be just a crazy fool
But my DNA runs thick like blood
And I’ll be stuck in the mud
Trudging through the quick sand
I am a man with a plan
So stand and deliver
With my eyes on the prize
And my hands reaching up to the sky
They wanna know why, put my life on the line
Like my mothers and fathers one thousand times
And time will repeat, hold your ground
Go back to the earth
Listen out for the sound
One day, I’ll leave it all behind
I am yours, you are mine
There’s no reason, there’s no rhyme
There’s no logic in these lines
It’s above this space and time
It’s above all of their minds
When time comes I’ll close mine
Oh, and let out the wolf cry
Like two candles
We fly through the night
Run this race
There’s no end in sight
Together we can handle this
We can make it all alright
I’m here for you
Are you here for me
We can just be
Be…We can just be
Just you and me
Breathe easily
(Hebrew)
Strike a match
Light a flame
Like two candles
We fly through the night
Run this race
There’s no end in sight
Together we can handle this
We can make it all alright
I’m here for you
Are you here for me
We can just be
Be…We can just be
Just you and me
Breathe easily
Feel like the world don’t love you
They only wanna push you away
Some days people don’t see you
You feel like you’re in the way
Today, you feel as everyone hates
Pointing their finger looking at your mistakes
You do good, they want great
No matter what you give, they still wanna take
You give your love and they throw it back
You give your heart, they go on attack
When there’s nothing left for you
Only thing that you can do, say
(Chorus)
Today, today, live like you wanna
Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire
In a fire, in a fire
Fight like a warrior
Today, today, live like you wanna
Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire
In a fire, in a fire
Live like a warrior
There some things you should let go
They’re only gonna pull you down
Just like weight on your shoulder
They’re only gonna make you drown
We all swing high, we all swing low
We all got secrets people don’t know
We all got dreams we can’t let go
We wanna be brave, don’t be afraid, no
(Chorus)
Today, today, live like you wanna
Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire
In a fire, in a fire
Fight like a warrior
Today, today, live like you wanna
Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire
In a fire, in a fire
Live like a warrior
Your heart is so heavy
From things you carry a long time
Been up, you been down
Tired and you don’t know why
But you’re never gonna go back
You only live one life
Let go, let go, let go
Let go, let go, let go
(Chorus)
Today, today, live like you wanna
Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire
In a fire, in a fire
Fight like a warrior
Today, today, live like you wanna
Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire
In a fire, in a fire
Live like a warrior
Today, today, live like you wanna
Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire
In a fire, in a fire
Fight like a warrior
Today, today, live like you wanna
Let yesterday burn and throw it in a fire
In a fire, in a fire
Live like a warrior
I’m feelin’ easy
The ocean breeze be
Carrying me, I’m Tel Aviv’n
And now I’m seeing
And I’m believing
Because these streets got melody in ‘em
I’m on a plane over the Mediterranean
And this terrain of the plains that’s beneath my feet
I’m on a Jeep at twilight, with my night vision on
To find the song of my people ‘til we hit the dawn
Moving and shaking and taking it up
Swimming in the ocean and I won’t give up
Moving and shaking and taking it up
Swimming in the ocean and I won’t give up
Moving and shaking and taking it up
Swimming in the ocean and I won’t give up
Independence Day the sunset
DJ plays One Day
Fly high, higher than all the walls
Fly high, like a desert eagle
Now it’s mid day I’m on my way
On a camel with my shades
Head wrapped to the max
Burning tracks, all day
Hill tops, won’t stop
‘til Moshiach’s on his way
And I don’t give a damn about what the world say
I’m on a hillside
Feeling so alive
Below me the dead sea and F15’s
Bullet shells be
Just like graffiti
Kojak in a flag with an M16
Moving and shaking and taking it up
Swimming in the ocean and I won’t give up
Moving and shaking and taking it up
Swimming in the ocean and I won’t give up
Moving and shaking and taking it up
Swimming in the ocean and I won’t give up
Independence Day the sunset
DJ plays One Day
Fly high, higher than all the walls
Fly high, like a desert eagle
You could teach your children hatred
Teach them how to fight
I’m a teach my children how to love
With all of their might
With all of your soul
All of your heart
All of your might
Sh’ma Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu Adonai Echad
Fly high, higher than all the walls
Fly high, like a desert eagle
Fly high, higher than all the walls
They say that I’m euphemism for a new religion
I’m praying that my comrades all gonna get up out of Clinton
I’m in prison with a system and I’m thinking that I didn’t
Deserve to be born in the first place cause of my pigment
Dark than the Caucasoid complexion kind of different
On a Harley David is King David sayin’ my tehillin
Pistol in my waste and I’m wrapped in my tefillin
On a camel like an Arab because Ishmael is my siblin’
I’m on my own thing, yes Moses
I don’t part the sea I fly the jet across the ocean
Yeah, God’s the one that wrote this
I’m just an instrument so make sure that you listen in
I’m from the block where there ain’t no scholarships
Forced to do things that if she knew would make my momma sick
Larry Hoover was my tutor
Now I made tshuva from the king crown of Judah
(CHANTING)
Now I’m running through the trees, I got you all screaming please
I slay wicked with my tongue I fire missiles when I breathe
I’ll give you all one reason to leave me be, before I bring you to your knees
With great catastrophes, I cast off shackles as I bleed
Some room I need to breathe and blast off as I please
With verses of praise that I slay when I sing
And a double edge sword that swings low by my knees
No need to gas a blow I stay low and then I feed
But when the time comes to go, I’m like Rambo
I got my cross bow, the cross winds blow
I’m so, radio, this wave activation
It got me living in slow mo
But now I’m ready to blow
It’s getting hot, I’m heat seeking, fire breathing
Believing scriptures that I’m reading while you’re wailing at the wall
I stand tall, and battle y’all
While them Kingdoms fall
In this life, filled with so much strife
I’m gonna love with all of my might
Open my eyes and give me the sight
Want all of your love now all of the time
Give you my soul now, all of my mind
Wish I could just hit rewind, rewind
Rewind
We will fight the wars for survival, we must win
And we will rise again like the strongest lion
We will fight the wars for survival, we must win
Conquer the demons, cause we won’t stop trying
Oh my soul
Has been so low
Make them clouds, fade to blue
So my love can shine on through
Shine on you
Circlin round pon I
Lying on my back watching clouds in the sky
Days pass by and the angels cry
Some of them might want to wonder why
Circling all them seven skies
Wish I could just press rewind
Press rewind, Press rewind
We will fight the wars for survival, we must win
And we will rise again like the strongest lion
We will fight the wars for survival, we must win
Conquer the demons, cause we won’t stop trying
Oh my soul
Has been so low
Make them clouds, fade to blue
So my love can shine on through
Shine on you
I had to let you go
Oh, I know
I got to follow
How high the tide rolls
Oh my soul
Has been so low
Make them clouds, fade to blue
So my love can shine on through
Shine on you
Shine on you
Shine on you
Shine on you
Shine on you
Oh my soul
Oh my soul
Oh my soul
Oh my soul

The world is moving to the song I hear
Who’s that singing? Wind is rushing in my ear
Mind gushing memories, almost lost everything
Felony and fellows running in my dream
We were in the van where the hits were driving
Saw myself in the highlands at age 13
And I’m asking questions to the present day me
Moving backwards down the hill, see we weren’t posting
Moonlight illuminate my night and my days sunray make the people say
And a vision something’s missing so they’re screaming out loud
Keep my feet on the ground and my head in the clouds
I’m the arrow, you’re my bow, shoot me forth and I will go
And I know and I go, and I go get up and go
Make me feel it’s for real tell me what you know
I don’t need to glorify
Ate the apple of the tree and tried to lie
In the garden I’ll remember that’s when I started to sing
I said that death brings life into uncertain things
Classroom’s not for me, sun setting autumn breeze
Sound is moving like a chorus keep hearing that melody
Check the radio but there’s nothing playing
Check the radio again but there’s nothing playing
Moonlight illuminate my night and my days sunray make the people say
And a vision something’s missing so they’re screaming out loud
Keep my feet on the ground and my head in the clouds
I’m the arrow, you’re my bow, shoot me forth and I will go
And I know and I go, and I go get up and go
Make me feel it’s for real tell me what you know

It is interesting how fascinated everyone seems to be with change. Where did the notion come from that things don’t change? “Why did I shave the beard”, “why did I change the way I dress or look”, “what does it mean?” It means that change can happen. That I am not made of stone or… Read more »
