[00:02.28]WP - MatisYahu
[00:26.32]Slap me Jack
[00:27.25]We sat down in the back of the class
[00:29.23]To seize knowledge we don't need
[00:30.83]I forgot my late pass
[00:32.22]But I'm early to a rival beatbox
[00:34.64]You got raps
[00:35.24]Meet me on the football field
[00:36.52]Don't sleep on field the quarterback
[00:37.71]No one clapped when we locked in
[00:39.68]It was removal of our class
[00:40.93]But my flag got captured
[00:42.05]And I fell between the cracks
[00:43.88]My tool for inspiration turned into a handicap
[00:46.71]No matter how I tried
[00:48.32]I just couldn't fill the gaps
[00:49.90]Those whipper snappers
[00:51.48]They got trapped old chap
[00:52.92]They lost the way
[00:54.01]They never had the right map
[00:55.67]Needed a sneak attack to slap the demons off my back
[00:58.51]So I packed for the shtetl dreamed big I wouldn't settle
[01:01.40]Put the pedal to the metal and returned to fundamentals
[01:04.43]I'll never forget running through the hall with all y'all rebels
[01:07.48]Roaming through the Highlands young bucks invincible
[01:10.18]Echoes in my brain if kids report to the principle
[01:13.32]Substance dulls the mind
[01:15.77]Traife wine clouds the heart
[01:18.60]You can't sew a stitch with one hand
[01:21.41]While you're taking it apart
[01:24.99]Bright lights might look nice
[01:27.29]But they sure won't make you sharp
[01:30.04]You can't sew a stitch with one hand
[01:33.07]While you're taking it apart
[01:36.06]Yeah misty morning and my mum's a mess
[01:38.91]To make matters worse dog my pops is stressed
[01:41.61]Life is a test make the grade or catch an F
[01:44.34]Now death is all that's left to ponder
[01:46.23]I wander off hoping to catch my breath
[01:48.36]And hold it mold my memories from untold scripts
[01:50.85]And roll up in a tornado twist now I'm certain
[01:54.27]There's a pertinent reason I'm on this earth
[01:56.42]Seasons change in white plains but we remain alert
[01:59.28]When new school years appear fools fear for a failure
[02:02.46]And crawl away in tears
[02:03.65]I play Popeye the Sailor and stay with spinach
[02:06.29]We walk the halls with a grimace
[02:08.11]Yeah they gossip in groups
[02:09.45]I try to mind my business and tell the truth
[02:11.79]For instance I listen
[02:13.42]See it all with basketball court vision
[02:15.27]Ignoring ignorance in fields of fiction
[02:17.25]We lean back in the calmest position
[02:19.61]And embrace the honesty found within our tension
[02:22.76]What's good
[02:23.67]Substance dulls the mind
[02:25.88]Traife wine clouds the heart
[02:28.78]You can't sew a stitch with one hand
[02:31.75]While you're taking it apart
[02:35.31]Bright lights make you blind
[02:37.60]But they sure don't leave you sharp
[02:40.57]You can't sew a stitch with one hand
[02:43.38]While you're taking it apart
[02:53.56]Trapped in the elevator of your mind
[02:58.19]Is it real what will you find behind the door
[03:06.97]Your imaginations put you in a bind
[03:13.40]Around you there's a cloud of gloom
[03:17.35]Swallow the key lock yourself in a room
[03:19.39]Can't see outside of your Universe
[03:21.94]No more war there won't be anymore hunger
[03:25.35]No jealousy not even competition
[03:27.81]Let go release you hold the keys
[03:31.01]Time we evaporate into the breeze
[03:33.88]We are nothing we are something
[03:36.49]Let go release you hold the keys
[03:39.46]It's time we evaporate into the breeze
[03:42.34]We are nothing we'll be something
[03:45.48]Welcome to the desert of my soul
[03:48.22]You can stay if you like
[03:49.84]There's room for one more
[03:52.56]There's room for one more
