Chop 'em Down (Live at Stubb's, Austin, TX - February 2005) - MatisYahu

From the forest itself comes the handle for the axe

Split this wilderness listen up

This ain't where it's at

Clear a path so that you could find your way back

Chop 'em down chop 'em down

Chop 'em down chop 'em down

Time flies by like clouds passing in the sky

Lifetime's here then gone with the blink of an eye

March through the desert one step at a time

March through the desert one step at a time

From the forest itself comes the handle for the axe

Drop the staff Moshe rabbainu

Split the ocean in half

March through the desert this ain't where it's at

Chop 'em down chop 'em down

Chop 'em down chop 'em down

Patterns engraved not so easily erased

Still wandering tryna find your place

Playin' the game I see pain on your face

Nowadays the yidding like children sold as slaves

Strange ways running through the maze

Strange ways always lost in the desert tryna find your way

Lost lost in the desert tryna find your way

From the forest itself comes the handle for the axe

Split this wilderness listen up

This ain't where it's at

Clear a path so that you could find your way back

Chop 'em down chop 'em down

Chop 'em down chop 'em down

Joseph descended sold as a slave

Thrown into a dungeon

Cause he wouldn't be swayed

Interpreted pharaohs dream and Egypt was saved

Stock piled food for seven years of rain

Sold to all the nations when the drought came

Joseph rose to power and the yidding stayed

They started to grow and success was made

Pharaoh's getting worried let's make 'em pay

Bound in chains

First born was sent down to their graves

Moshe was saved and a prince he was raised

Hashem spoke to him

Here's a message to relay

Take my nation from Mitzrayim

I see the suffering

Hard hearts ego breaks

Take sparks and make way

Trail blaze through the wasteland breaking the chains

Last generation just the ruminants

March through the desert leaving footprints

Peel off the lid this is just plastic

Gotta get into it get into it

Heavy hitter stepping solid

Never quitter jump into the ocean

Before it split gotta jump into it

Jump into the ocean

Gotta jump into it

Rip rip in Egypt get into it

600 000 witnessed it

No you didn't forget no you didn't forget

Rip rip through Egypt get into it

Gotta jump into it jump jump into it

In the spiritual desert

Things are not what they seem

Snakes camouflaged just to fit the scene

Put your faith in a mirage it's just a smoke screen

It's just a smoke screen

It's just a smoke screen

In the spiritual desert things are not what they seem

Snakes camouflaged just to fit the scene

Put your faith in a mirage it's just a smoke screen

The king is sitting on his thrown of glory
