Matisyahu › Lyrics › King Without a Crown

I said, “You're all that I have and you're all that I need"
Each and every day I pray to get to know you please
I want to be close to you, yes, I'm so hungry
You're like water for my soul when it gets thirsty

Without you there's no me, you're the air that I breathe
Sometimes the world is dark and I just can't see
With these demons surround all around to bring me down to negativity
But I believe, yes I believe, I said, “I believe”

I'll stand on my own two feet, won't be brought down on one knee
I'll fight with all of my might and get these demons to flee
Hashem's rays fire blaze burn bright and I believe
Hashem's rays fire blaze burn bright and I believe

Out of darkness comes light, a twilight unto the heights
Crown heights burnin' up all through the twilight
Said, "I thank you" to my God, now I finally got it right
And I'll fight with all of my heart and all my soul and all my might

What's this feeling? My love will rip a hole through the ceiling
I give myself to you from the essence of my being
An' I sing to my God, these songs of love an' healing
I want Mashiach now, so it's time we start revealing

What's this feeling?

Me no want no Sinsemilla, that would only bring me down
Burn away my brain, no way, my brain is too compound
Elevated my soul, you're a flying my sound
Like the sun of a sun ray burning up through a cloud

Say, Torah food for my brain, let it rain till I drown
Thunder, let the blessings come down
Say, Torah food for my brain, let it rain till I drown

Strip away the layers and reveal your soul
Give yourself up and then you become whole
You're a slave to yourself and you don't even know
You want to live the fast life but your brain moves slow

If you're trying to stay high, then you're bound to stay low
You want God but you can't deflate your ego
If you're already there, then there's nowhere to go
If you're cup's already full, then it's bound to overflow

If you're drowning out in the waters and you can't stay afloat
Ask Hashem for mercy and he'll throw you a rope
You're looking for help from God, you say he couldn't be found
Looking up to the sky and searchin' beneath the ground

Like a king without his crown, yes, I wanna get down
A king without his crown, yes, you keep fallin' down
You really want to live but can't get rid of your frown
Try reach him to the heights and wound down, down, down, down

Say what's this feeling? My love will rip a hole through the ceiling
I give myself to you from the essence of my being
An' I sing to my God, these songs of love an' healing
I want Mashiach now, and it's time we start revealing

Said, “I'm reelin' him in, I reel him in
Where ya been, where ya been for so long for so long?
It's hard to stay strong
I've been livin' in Galus for like too long”
I said, “Where ya been, a where ya been for so long for so long?”

What's this feeling? My love will rip a hole through the ceiling
I give myself to you from the essence of my being
An' I sing to my God, these songs of love an' healing
I want Mashiach now, and it's time we start revealing

What's this feeling? My love will rip a hole through the ceiling
I give myself to you from the essence of my being
An' I sing to my God, these songs of love an' healing
I want Mashiach now, and it's time we start revealing

Said, “I'm reelin' him in, where ya been, where ya been?”
I said, “I reelin' him in, where ya been for so long? Oh
Where ya been for so long? It's hard to stay strong
Been livin' in exile for”
