Song lyrics
Chorus:
What's this feeling?
My love will rip a hole in the ceiling
Givin' myself to you from the essence of my being
Sing to my God all these songs of love and healing
Want Mashiach now so it's time we start revealing
You're all that I have and you're all that I need
Each and every day I pray to get to know you please
I want to be close to you, yes I'm so hungry
You're like water for my soul when it gets thirsty
Without you there's no me
You're the air that I breathe
Sometimes the world is dark and I just can't see
With these, demons surround all around to bring me down to negativity
But I believe, yes I believe, I said I believe
I'll stand on my own two feet
Won't be brought down on one knee
Fight with all of my might and get these demons to flee
Hashem's rays fire blaze burn bright and I believe
Out of darkness comes light, twilight unto the heights
Crown Heights burnin' up all through the twilight
Said, thank you to my God, now I finally got it right
And I'll fight with all of my heart, and all a' my soul, and all a' my might
Bridge:
Me no want no sinsemilla.
That would only bring me down
Burn away my brain no way my brain is to compound
Elevated my soul you're a flying my sound
Like the sun of a sun ray burning up through a cloud
Torah food for my brain let it rain till I drown
Thunder!
Let the blessings come down
Strip away the layers and reveal your soul
Got to give yourself up and then you become whole
You're a slave to yourself and you don't even know
You want to live the fast life but your brain moves slow
If you're trying to stay high then you're bound to stay low
You want God but you can't deflate your ego
If you're already there then there's nowhere to go
If you're cup's already full then its bound to overflow
If you're drowning in the water's and you can't stay afloat
Ask Hashem for mercy and he'll throw you a rope
You're looking for help from God you say he couldn't be found
Looking up to the sky and searchin' beneath the ground
Like a King without his Crown
Yes, I wanna get down
A King without his Crown
Yes, you keep fallin' down
You really want to live but can't get rid of your frown
Tried to reach unto the heights and wound bound down on the ground
Given up your pride and the you heard a sound
Out of night comes day and out of day comes light
Nullified to the One like sunlight in a ray,
Makin' room for his love and a fire gone blaze
Chorus
Reelin' him in
Where ya been
Where ya been
Where ya been for so long
It's hard to stay strong been livin' in galus (exile) for 2000 years strong
Where ya been for so long
Been livin in this exile for too long

Didn't we see him dancing with a group near that Starbucks and Whole Foods in NYC? With signs and a jambox? HA HA HA HA.
What an experience THAT was.
See ya tomorrow!
He is coming here to portland on the 26th and my fiancee wanted me to get tickets for the show, and I had never heard of him before so I took my time, and by the time i went to get tickets the show was sold out....... Heather was a little upset with me to say the least
I love Matisyahu!
I posted this on my blog Wednesday, you're late! But since no one reads mine, this is the best place to post it! :) Thanks Eddo. I have been jamming this CD non stop since I picked it up from iTunes! Very spiritual and uplifting! He will be in Grand Prairie at Nokia Live on March 15. Wifey and I will be there!
I love "King Without a Crown" and "Lord Raise Me Up" is just as great! And so is "Beatbox" Heck, his songs are like the Mav Dancers, they're all hot! :)
My favorite verse "From the forest itself comes the handle for the axe" Deep.
hmmmm. just stopped by
Wow never heard of him, but this is awesome!
omg! Eddo, I love this. I had never heard of this guy. I love reggae in the first place and this is tight!! I am going to get the CD for my hubby...he will LOVE this! Thanks for the heads up.
New to me. I'll give it a listen.
