Shalom,

You shall make yourself the Festival of Sukkoth for seven days, when you gather in [the produce] from your threshing floor and your vat.And you shall rejoice in your Festival-you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, who are within your cities

Hi TorahZionist,

Yes I just listened to this song while I drove to lunch. I think both of the songs are great examples of using that style for expressing love of Hashem and the land of Israel.

PS: I have loved Matisyahu for many years and I actually met him at a Chabad function here in California.

Matisyahu is in Israel now (living there), also I heards he's not associated with Chabad any longer. Im happy for him, but he's not been heard of recently.

Hello Tzvi,

I have heard rumors that he is dabbling in Breslov chassidus. The last time I heard from him he was apparently composing a song consisting of some of Rabbi Nachmans stories.

Tzvi,

Here is a link from A7 about this:

Quote

Growing Interest in Breslov
Recent articles in the US Jewish press talk of Matisyahu distancing himself from Chabad-Lubavitch Hassidut. The artist doesn’t see it that way, but rather is thankful for everything he learned from the sect and is broadening his horizons to include other teachers and teachings within the Hassidic world. “Now I am interested a lot in Rebbe Nachman [of Breslov], in his teachings and writings and stories,” Matisyahu told Bresky. He said he was writing a song for his next album from one of Rebbe Nachman’s stories. Bresky coaxed him to reveal which story. He relented: “The Story of the Seven Beggars and the analysis of a dream by founding Rabbi Nachman of Breslov,” he said.

“I think it’s a good thing to always be changing,” he said. Asked if all his songs about returning to Zion would culminate in his own move to Israel, Matisyahu said a plan to make the Holy Land his home is in the works.

Shalom,

I have tried to transcribe the lyrics to this song. Of course I have made a lot of mistakes because it is difficult to hear the lyrics in some places.

Quote
Im a soldier
Dont need no straps on my shoulder
rapper bet the reasons not bogus
Over Moshiachs right around the corner
Im drunk from the cup whos got me trying get sober
Maccabee, yeah warrior man
Lived with uncle sam, but now the holy land
If there wasnt head high then I woulda just ragged
Everythings just sweeter in Jerusalem
Im a soldier and my crew be the chosen few
Shot out with my people what you did, what you do?
Gotta get down cause it used to be my place
So I placed it first time right on my myspace
Iron like a lion - The last days of zion
all you haters all around want my land - stop tryin
People killin, People dyin, but it just aint right
Moshiachs gonna bring back our respect tonite!
You cant mess with the Israelites, Israelites
You cant mess with the Israelites, Israelites
You cant mess with the Israelites, Israelites
You cant mess with the Israelites, Israelites
You cant mess with the Israelites, Israelites
You cant mess with the Israelites, Israelites
You cant mess with the Israelites, Israelites
You cant mess with the Israelites, Israelites
No I dont understand how a man can give the land to a man who wasnt there
just because they got rocks in their hand,trade in rocks and they want to go BANG
Orders like they came from IRAN, runaround joke average land
Man they worse than the Klu Klux Klan, take off the robe and throw on a tan
Hold up
I cant get this peace plan
Or should I say a plan to get a piece of my land
Politicians show the peace sign with the other one jammed
Behind their backs with a whip and a gun in their hand
Man ill be honest, I really dont want this war
I just want our redeemer to come and take the floor
And Im sorry Im rowdy it is whats in store
My mentor says I write no more but Im raw
So if you look at my body you cant read my soul
I just roll up my body and I pay that toll
And if you ask why orange is in most of the rhymes
I stand with my people, I be a Israelite!
You cant mess with the Israelites, Israelites
You cant mess with the Israelites, Israelites
You cant mess with the Israelites, Israelites
You cant mess with the Israelites, Israelites
You cant mess with the Israelites, Israelites
You cant mess with the Israelites, Israelites
You cant mess with the Israelites, Israelites
You cant mess with the Israelites, Israelites
We got a King, you see Hashem is incredible
The king sent out his soldiers but then to be a general
Not talking politics or anything federal
Cant feed me them lies, the lies are so visceral
So Keep your money, and Ill keep my milk and honey
But freak you want your whole cake where you comin?
Amalek, disaffect, and dollar make you holler
Demons dressed up in suits, but their crime is white collar
Oh Moshiach, do we have to live this way?
Blam Blam in your ban livin up with the land
...
Disappear and turn back and better yet ex nihlo
And were low, you learn and know what we know
The more you learn the more you know do lose your kilo, amigo
were about to see the true light
Moshiach here my dear we no longer need to fight
You cant mess with the Israelites, Israelites
You cant mess with the Israelites, Israelites
You cant mess with the Israelites, Israelites
You cant mess with the Israelites, Israelites
You cant mess with the Israelites, Israelites
You cant mess with the Israelites, Israelites
You cant mess with the Israelites, Israelites
You cant mess with the Israelites, Israelites

Did you hear of this rapper (generally I dont like his music, he curses, and he compares Jews to blacks, but this song is pretty good- agains't Obama -
 

 He even has Jewsagains't Obama written in the video.
