Strum
D-DU-UDU
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
Start  sizzlin’, spilling from the ceiling, bread  dripping drizzling
Close  to the broken-heart, them crushed  in spirit
 Redeem  the soul of your servant  seek his, pursue it
Keep  the sparkle in your eyes
 Oh you know, we're not gon die,  like flyin’
 Soul times  for the times when we'll stay  unified
 The eyes  of Hashem are to the righteous  and he hears their
Soul cry,  like an ancient lullaby
Soul cry,  like an ancient lullaby
 Jerusalem  breathes, bringin’ me ease  from the Brooklyn squeeze,
Dirty  boppin’ and a bring ya down  to ya knees
Track  ya like a lion, leave  me be
 When they come  with their disease to drag us into  the street,
 My law's  still pure, you can't take  that from me,
3000  years until this last  century,
 Impossible  to break the seal  of the High Priest,
 Yo, I say the branches  on the trees them bow  to these
 Swaying to  the melodies,
Craving  for the slaves to bring redemption  please
 I am you,  you are me
 No more leaders,  we must flea ,We want see God  in our enemy
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
Start  sizzlin’, spilling from the ceiling, bread  dripping drizzling
Close  to the broken-heart, them crushed  in spirit
 Redeem  the soul of your servant  seek his, pursue it
Keep  the sparkle in your eyes
 Oh you know, we're not gon die,  like flyin’
 Soul times  for the times when we'll stay  unified
 The eyes  of Hashem are to the righteous  and he hears their
Soul cry,  like an ancient lullaby
Soul cry,  like an ancient lullaby
 Jerusalem  breathes, bringin’ me ease  from the Brooklyn squeeze,
Dirty  boppin’ and a bring ya down  to ya knees
Track  ya like a lion, leave  me be
 When they come  with their disease to drag us into  the street,
 My law's  still pure, you can't take  that from me,
3000  years until this last  century,
 Impossible  to break the seal  of the High Priest,
 Yo, I say the branches  on the trees them bow  to these
 Swaying to  the melodies,
Craving  for the slaves to bring redemption  please
 I am you,  you are me
 No more leaders,  we must flea ,We want see God  in our enemy
