I transcribed the lyrics of this song... I may have gotten some words wrong... but..
Misrepresented Misunderstood I wish you would take a second to look inside you know you should
thousands years of pressure still my people we stood right in the face of danger and we got the goods.
Every generation marched like staccato from Moshe dealing with Pharoah to the strength of the Marrano
You'd assume every yid won the lotto, but we've been through the sorrow 'Ein Ode Milvadoh'
But now we facing the problems of all this misdirection, in the fold we've been sold on self misconception
spaced out of our mind, with no detection, given the tree of life, but its not our selection.
What happened to the knowledge, selfworth and pride? With nations we coincide but kept the Torah to survive.
I refuse to bow down to falsehood. recognizing who i am, its all good
you can paint the world and distort the picture.
but you cant change nothing bout me
im gonna rise despite what you do
cause im a lubab, litvish, breslov stremmel wearin Jew.
you can tell the lies which make up the truth
but you cant say nothing bout me
at the end of the day i wont lose
cause im yemenite ethiopian bucharian jew
and i was chillin just the other day
when somebody asked me about the things I say.
i told em im not steppin feet of nobody else
but how can we do a mission without no knowledge of self
i cant reunify you without reunifying me
thats why i spend my time trying getting folks to see
the common consesus is not what were supposed to be
the essence of a jew is not what you see on tv.
now ive been on both sides of these pages
from fighting through the rages
to studying the sages
and i can tell you there is only one way
give it a chance today the blessings will come ok
we dont got to trust noone but G-d
when you do that its easy to see the facade
cause with the maker always expressing truth
ask all the others like me what it means to be a...
you can paint the world and distort the picture.
but you cant change nothing bout me
im gonna rise despite what you do
cause im a black white, burmese asian, mexican jew.
you can tell the lies which make up the truth
but you cant say nothing bout me
at the end of the day i wont lose
cause im sefardi, ashkenazi, syrian Jew
Who taught the world there was one G-d alone?
Who made the technology in your cellphone?
Who are those prophets you always like to quote?
Who put together color tv with remote?
who were the slaves that G-d freed to give the bible to?
Who invented the microphone that im ryming through?
Who spreads light to everybody in the world?
Who sits and prays for some peace in return?
You can be proud of who you are, and act accordingly...
It dont matter what they say, they cant deny the role we play, remember that..
Always been here, always will be here... to the very end... to the last day
you can paint the world and distort the picture.
but you cant change nothing bout me
im gonna rise despite what you do
cause im a lubab, litvish, breslov stremmel wearin Jew.
you can tell the lies which make up the truth
but you cant say nothing bout me
at the end of the day i wont lose
cause im yemenite ethiopian bucharian jew
you can paint the world and distort the picture.
but you cant change nothing bout me
im gonna rise despite what you do
cause im a keep on living, stay driven, im proud to be a Jew
you can tell the lies which make up the truth
but you cant say nothing bout me
at the end of the day i wont lose
cause im make it to the end, stay strong, proud to be a Jew!
