Matisyahu - Struggla Lyrics






Open up the gate
Let my prayer rise up
And I struggle every day just to get myself up
For the force of gravity that keeps sinking my ship
Time again one is bound to slip
We rip through these days
We flip through the age
Survive stay alive we won't trip in the haze
Lost in the maze
I know it's just a phase
But I dread it dread it dread it
I won't let my life go to waste
I'm a struggla

Rise and never fall cause I been through it all

So ask yourself and think twice
Would you want to live your life

Oh we pay the cost
The pain and all the loss

Sell the youth them dreams of ease and fame

Will be a breeze when you got a big name
Cash fast fast cars to escape all of the pain

Escape your brain and so it stays the same

We would not lay down

We won't live in vain

We won't be drained

And I got to maintain

I won't let my life go to waste
I'm a struggla

Rise and never fall cause I been through it all

So ask yourself and think twice
Would you want to live your life

Oh we pay the cost
The pain and all the loss

There's something wrong with the system
That leaves it's people victim

Keep on slipping can't seem to catch up
Try to rise at night but my legs they stay stuck

There's something wrong in the system
That leaves it's children victim

...

I won't let my life go to waste
I'm a struggla

Rise and never fall cause I been through it all

So ask yourself and think twice
Would you want to live your life

Oh we pay the cost
The pain and all the loss

Oh we pay the cost
The pain and all the loss

Rise and never fall cause I been through it all

So ask yourself and think twice
Would you want to live your life

Oh we pay the cost
The pain and all the loss

...

Open up the gates let my prayer rise up

Oh we pay the cost
The pain and all the loss

    Jewmaican is some kind of a joke. I know that he's a great example of breaking borders and I understand that, I said "Jewmaican" as a joke about it ;)

  24. Y.... V....

    Good music

  25. D.... L....

  26. O.... ....

    @E3cubes Not true. The diaspora sent Jews all over the world--some to Spain, some to eastern Europe, some to South America, lots to New York City, and even some to India.

  27. H.... M....

    @E3cubes Ethiopian Jews have practiced the earliest forms of Judaism, which existed in the pre-Judaic Culture of early Israelites and pre-Talmudic Judaism. This is confirmed by archaeological findings in many parts of Ethiopia.

  28. a.... ....

    Adam & Eva are jew,,,so tell me? who is not jew?

  29. E.... ....

    @helenred1 That makes no sense, Abraham was the first jew, all jews are descended from him. No links to Ethipia there.

  30. a.... ....

    Everybody is jew

  31. R.... F....

    If you wanna know more about this awesome guy why don't you just watch the interviews and get the true facts from him instead of exaggerated opinions

  32. R.... F....

    @Frizzail420 He's from new York

  33. N.... ....

    @natef9 He's Jewmaican.

  34. H.... M....

    The Ethiopian Jews are the first Jews, hence the Rastafarian influence in his life aong other influences!

  35. S.... ....

    @digobeleza what is the song?

  36. N.... ....

    I'm a native New Yorker...Matisyahu he moved into my town of Brooklyn -- Crown Heights to be exact. He is Jewish, but since my neighborhood is right next to Flatbush (West Indian neighborhood), he picked up on the reggae music. HE IS NOT JAMAICAN!

  37. d.... ....

    Horace andy sing in the beginin of this track

  38. F.... ....

    @sarahisuperfly k he's jewish but is he from jamaica??? this chune is money either way I love it

  39. T.... ....

    @natef9 Him being Jewish has nothing to do with him being Jamaican or not. Judaism is his religion, not his nationality
