Chop 'em Down - Matisyahu

From the forest itself comes the handle for the axe

Split this wilderness listen up this aint where it’s at

Clear a path so that you can 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

Lifetimes 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 Rabbeinu split the ocean in half

March through the desert they say where it’s at

Chop em down chop em down

Chop-chop em down chop- chop em down

Patterns engraved not so easily erased

Still wandering trying to find your place

Playing the game i see pain on your face

Now a day’s the yiddin like children sold as slaves

Strange ways running through the maze

Strange ways always lost in the desert trying to find to find your place

Lost lost in the desert trying to find your place

From the forest itself comes the handle for the axe

Split this wilderness listen up this aint where it’s at

Clear a path so that you can find your way back

Chop em down chop em down

Chop em down chop em down

Yoseph descended sold as a slave

Thrown into a dungeon cause he wouldn’t be swayed

Interpreted Pharaoh’s dreams and Egypt was saved

Stock piled food for seven years of rain

Then sold to all the nations when the drought came

Yoseph rose to power and the yiddin stayed

They started to build and success was made

Pharos getting worried let’s make them 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 heres 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 get into it

Heavy hitter stepping solid never quitter jump into the ocean before it split

gotta jump into it

Rip rip through Egypt get into it keep the fire lit just get into it

600,000 witnessed it, no you didn’t forget

No you didn’t forget

Rip rip through Egypt get into it

Got a jump into it

Jump jump into it

In the spiritual desert things are not what they seem

Snakes camouflaged just fit to the scene

jump into it… camouflaged…
