[Intro: Matisyahu] Three shots upon the sky Three bluebirds flying by Three sons remind me why I ended up in Crown Heights
[Hook 1: Matisyahu] Where's my confidence? You know you want it all Believe in yourself Even after the fall I wish I knew that one A long time ago
[Verse 1: Matisyahu] Now when I walk in the street Got that hop in my step Chest out head back Yeah you know what I rep Strut like a Rasta Though I'm being chased by death I'll be gone 'til whenever Like the song by Wyclef Listening to music Always gave me vision So when you see me on the street I'll be walkin' to the rhythm Focus in my face That's the way I'm straight livin' Champion heart From the start of the beginning I've been lookin' for the palace A crown and a throne Click-clack Around Krakow Typing on my phone Tackling my demons But you know that by now Chassidic reggae superstar Tell you all how Got it on the inside I don't need to wear it out Can't say I'm not religious I just let go of the doubt And right about now Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey I like old things Things that go slow Antiques and such So what ya know? I'm an old soul That's the way I like to go Thankful for the bumps I like to feel the road How can I defend Against snakes and scorpions? Trying to be your friends Then they cut you in the end Feel the sleep moving Collapse and give in then I start again How can I pretend?
[Hook 1 x2: Matisyahu]
[Verse 2: Matisyahu] Got it on the inside I don't need to wear it out Can't say I'm not religious I just let go of the doubt And right about now I'm a let go of this trout Whispering my pleas, I ain't gotta be loud Throw it in the sea, throw it back to the sea Underneath the clouds Know what I mean This is my silent scream Doing as I please I bless you with the ease Why these dudes judging me?
[Bridge: Collie Buddz] Take a piece of herb and break it up Roll it up, take a shot to the head top Hit nice, Hit nice Me a wine wit the gal dem Everyting nice, ting nice Everybody have vibes and me no wan hear no gun shot Hear vibes, good vibes Over some foolishness, some people, dem a come shot So people are rich yo Some people dem a hit yo Some people a go tru life and not care about nobody else A little bit yo Yi have the confidence to keep strong Have the confidence to hol on No more pestilence in our residence The Lord Testament from All em' It's not the easy road but we have to live it Anything in life Put in all of your heart, your mind, and your soul Remember the greatest gift is love
[Hook 2 x2: Matisyahu] I need some confidence How can I walk tall With the critic in my head? Won't rest till I feel small
