Matisyahu - Obstacles Lyrics






Obstacles they come and go
That's the name of this game you know
This life can't be bought nor sold
Just play your cards then fold

Take two steps forward, one step back
Every time I get on track the light fades to black
As the curtain drops back, I still step to my destiny
I see it right in front of me, it's in your eyes (I see)
Dancin' to the beat and these sweat melodies
Ridin' on a breeze, the trees part for me
But these sharks still circle through the park

I look to you, it's in my nature since a youth
When I ran after you and lights went blue
Me and you, you and me
I share my heart with ya, you're my family now

Obstacles they come and go
That's the name of this game you know
This life can't be bought nor sold
Just play your cards then fold
Can't give back the time you stole
The path unravels, the day unfolds
This life can't be bought nor sold
So play your cards then...

Once upon a time I ran to you,
Banned myself to find your wealth
Return to the land of truth
Found myself all alone as the stars they kissed
Still runnin' after you through this wilderness
At dawn I tracked snow through back yards and front lawns
I'm up late wide awake I'm reborn as day breaks and gets on

To you, it's in my nature since a youth
When I ran after you and lights went blue
Me and you, you and me
I share my heart with ya, you're my family now

Obstacles they come and go
That's the name of this game you know
This life can't be bought nor sold
Just play your cards then fold
Can't give back the time you stole
The path unravels, the day unfolds
This life can't be bought nor sold
Just play your cards...

Siftin' through the sand
A man is just a man
No matter how you fan the flame
It all comes out the same
In the end you are my friend
[x2]

Obstacles they come and go
That's the name of this game you know
This life can't be bought nor sold
Just play your cards then fold
Can't give back the time you stole
The path unravels, the day unfolds
This life can't be bought nor sold
Just play your cards then...
[x2]

    Found out the Rabbinate does not consider me Jewish because my great grandpa married and gave his name to a non-Jew.

    Lost my Birthright trip. Never be able to afford it on my own. Last year I was eligible. I gave so much just to live as a Jew and next year I won't even be eligible. I will be 33. Sucks to be me. But I know who I am. Sucks really really really bad for everybody who was waiting. Go figure.

    Easily takes the place of rap music nowadays, with my anxiety and mental issues right now, Matisyahu and the word of God has helped alot . God bless you all

    I'm not usually a big fan of videos, but your videos seem really inspired and this is one of my favorite songs you've done, so I wish it had one, too. I guess I'd be even happier with more of your inspirational and motivating music, so if that's happening instead of a video, that's just as good. Whatever your creative process, please keep it up.
