Where the mountains watch the city and waters touch the sun Where some carry crosses like others carry guns And pray Jah be glorified till the day soon come Follow me Lick a shot if you a mighty warrior Lick a shot if you a freedom fighter Lick a shot if you a true souljah Now dance your way back to Zion (Now Dance your way back to Zion) I put it down for your love, till my journey is done And let the stories be told how the battle was won So I grabbed the microphone and I started to run Here I come, Boom Biddy Bye Here I come [Hook] [Verse 3: Matisyahu] Empty nation just a phase, redemptions on it's way The people love to talk but they don't got that much to say Generation of orphans whose hearts are all ablaze Little light in a lot of darkness goes a long way Freedom, hearts bleed, and I see them feedin poison Poor choices, spirits screamin, trying to break these boundaries Running up a mountain, chains tied to my feet Running up a mountain, chains tied to my feet [Hook and Bridge] Original Roots In Stereo So rep the streets you ride on Chant them down with that rude boy sound And watch the whole world lie down We generals in the streets they know Who wears the crown for shine now It got that champion sound moshin through your town We go make the world go lie down We go make the world go lie down Make the world go lie down [Verse 4: Matisyahu] Bloodstain drippin through the rain Face down, trip and feel the pain Get up, you conduct your own train, rippin it up, stepping it up, raising it up We're the blood of God's veins, we gotta maintain get past the blame And then this fame came, for a reason and a season Then I'll stay up, not lay low And raise yours and up the offering And then the blessings will flow [Bridge] We go make the world go lie down Make the world go lie down We go make the world go lie down Make the world go lie down [Outro: Matisyahu] Dripping in the rain, face down, trip and feel the pain Get up, you conduct your own train, rippin it up, stepping it up, raising it up We're the blood of God's veins, we gotta maintain past that of blame Gathers fame, came for a reason and a seasons Here to stay up, not lay low
