Ori Salzberg - I'm Not White I'm Jewish lyrics

Heschel: "The idea of judging a man in terms of black or brown or white, is an eye disease." I'm Not White I'm Jewish CHORUS: Back when I rapped in high school People told me that Iʼm tight for a white dude (What you tell em'?) Iʼm not white Iʼm Jewish, Iʼm not white Iʼm Jewish. X2 Not trying to be a prophet but he who parted the sea Is a part of me and when look in my heart I see The same mystery And I know that we share the same history Yeah, Hebrew is the language of G dash D So silently, I know he walks with me Like an O.G., I'm G'ed up, I'm G dash D'ed up I'm a read up with my feet up Sabbath is just practice til we all get freed up So please plant your seeds up Israel's the bride and the groom's inside And when I'm staring at the Lion I'm like open wide And when I'm drowning in the ocean, I will choke the tide Snatch a patch from the sky, put that patch in my eye You can tell me Iʼm fly, but itʼs not for a white guy Iʼm not white Iʼm Jewish! CHORUS Even with my eyes low, my shine show Wise guys eyes close, respecting what my mind know My reach is like a newborns, Iʼm grabbin at everything Get mad rich and take it back from the savages Sabbathes pa**, but its not 'ash to ash,' Itʼs “what? to what?” and its task to task Yeah, life is to act with more secrets than Akiva knew It doesnʼt matter what you think it only matters what you do Iʼm tired these days cause Iʼm getting up earlier My eyes carry baggage, my Jew-froʼs curlier The patch on my pants for the lack of the cabbage is a problem Iʼm working on solving CHORUS These Yids introspection, learnin' texts in reflection If what's inside, has died, you better believe in resurrection Give me protection from the G!dless, let my conscience Place its candle, on the mantle, to illuminate the nonsense I'm well equipped, with legitimateness, when I spit So it's bit ridiculous to talk it, was G!d sick When he blew his breathe in the chest of his convict? Trapped in paradise, I'm paralyzed CHORUS Heschel: "So let us hope and pray that I am worthy of being a descendants of The Prophets."
