"Music Is The Anthem" lyrics - MATISYAHU
Move up over the hill, no more coke, no more pills
Though I do like to chill, yo, those crows give me chills
Now I fire at will and I'm hiring ill
Muthafuckers that know how to run my business well
What's on the other side after the sacrifice
When you climbed up a mountain and survived the highs?
Where the air goes thin and your insides die
Then you took a long ride through the countryside
Undercurrent brought you here to the place you reside
I don't really get high, I don't really ask why
When the beat drops out, hear the breeze blow by
Now I'm feeling so fly, with my legs stretched out wide
On my porch in my shorts like those Hollywood times
41, get it done, pack my elements tight
Now I rise with the sun and I'm sleepin' at night
No shows in a year, COVID got me retired
Now I take in the view, got me feelin' inspired
First time in a while that I haven't felt tired
When my kids make me smile, nothing make me feel higher
When my kids make me smile, nothing make me feel higher
[Chorus:]
And music is the anthem to jump the enclosure
You are my shelter from overexposure
To those who grow hard, hearts stone like the posture
This is the makeup, so please spare the lecture
As I stroll on my porch, torch up a jay
For strength and for guidance, I pray, light my way
If my eyes get dim, in my old age
Like Isaac or Jacob, or the lion of Jamaica
At times you rely, the teachers that take you
But never the saviours, no, they cannot make you
If I don't see you now, I might see you later
Always been my flavor, my preference when I enter to my neighbor
I like the bass is loud, sometimes it takes over, yeah, oh
[Chorus:]
And music is the anthem to jump the enclosure
You are my shelter from overexposure
To those who grow hard, hearts stone like the posture
This is the makeup, so please spare the lecture
Since my inception, I set my intention
When I was a young man to lift the creation
Find beauty, find patience, that's my creator
We're the creation in each and every way, son
In each and every ration, in each and every relation
Each and every nation, a whole generation
A voice, there's a reason, a purpose, a choice for elation
[Chorus:]
And music is the anthem to jump the enclosure
You are my shelter from overexposure
To those who grow hard, hearts stone like the posture
This is the makeup, so please spare the lecture
