Matisyahu - Star On The Rise Lyrics






Lace 'em up, shadow boxing in the basement, speed bag
Time to land the spaceship
Heavy hitter, duckin' punches, fightin' the enemy
Who is the enemy? Can I survive me?
I'm goin' in, I'm goin' under
Touch like lightning, roar like thunder
My legs are shaky - will I make it?
I can't lie anymore, I can't fake it
No more runnin', I can't take it
Crack open, learn to take it
Pullin' the rake over my heart, I can taste it
Going in circles, return to the burn
Am I moving forward? What have I learned?
Give glory to the heavens and the earth
I walk the dirt and flirt with death
Taste the breath of the devil while you move with the rest
More or less it's time we score
We won this test so let your chest take a rest
And let your breath be the sound
That lets us nest in the sound and then drowns in the now
It's the light of the first 6 days of creation
How far can you go?

Flames on the horizon
Them keep realizing
There's a star on the rise again
Flames on the horizon
Them keep realizing
There's a star on the rise again

I try to keep my focus in this field of locusts
Many winds blowin' but that's all hocus pocus
Decipher the truth from the lie
Especially in regards to how it lies upon the inside
Quick now tell the guards
I'll be running with no pauses
I write to ignite dead souls that's my cause
Drop like the jaws, feel the fury from my claws
10 years gone by, I been out on tours

Flames on the horizon
Them keep realizing
There's a star on the rise again
Flames on the horizon
Them keep realizing
There's a star on the rise again

Flames on the horizon
Them keep realizing
There's a star on the rise again
Flames on the horizon
Them keep realizing
There's a star on the rise again

    Lace'm up
    Shadow boxin
    In the basement
    Speed bag
    Time to land the spaceship
    Heavy hitter
    Duck'n punches
    Fight'n the enemy
    Who is the enemy
    Can I survive me
    I'm goin in
    I'm goin under
    Touch like lightning
    Roar like thunder 
    My legs are shaky
    Will I make it
    I can't lie anymore
    I can't fake it
    No more runnin'
    I can't take it
    Crack open 
    Learn to take it
    Pullin' the rake over my heart
    I can taste it
    Going in circles 
    Return to the burn
    Am I moving forward
    What have I learned
    Give glory to the heavens to the earth
    I walk the dirt and flirt with death
    Taste the breath of the devil while you move with the rest
    More or less it's time we score 
    We won this test so let your chest take a rest and let your breath be the sound that lets us nest in the sound then drowns in the now
    It's the light of the first 6 days of creation
    How for can you go

    Flames on the horizon
    Them keep realizing
    There's a star on the rise again
    Flames on the horizon
    Them keep realizing
    There's a star on the rise again

    I try to keep my focus
    In this field of locusts
    Many winds blown but that's all hocus pocus
    Decipher the truth from the lie
    Especially in regards to how it is inside
    Quick now tell the guards 
    I'll be running with no pauses 
    I write to ignite dead souls that's my cause 
    Drop like the jaws
    Feel the fury from my claws
    10 years gone 
    I been out on tours

    Flames on the horizon
    Them keep realizing
    There's a star on the rise again
    Flames on the horizon
    Them keep realizing
    There's a star on the rise again

    Flames on the horizon
    Them keep realizing
    There's a star on the rise again
    Flames on the horizon
    Them keep realizing
    There's a star on the rise again

    "I write to ignite dead souls that's my cause".....this will be a cult classic, if the fluoride in the drinking water doesn't keep people asleep.  Haha, not haha. And haha again.  This is the grammy-worthy album of 2014, and I've listened to both Beyonce and Beck this year.  Hands-down, this album is the one....

    Brenton Rahm I REPEAT

  16. M.... G....

    just read the song's lines. I love your ability to gather a poetic story line, along with your magical voice of what universal truth is. to you its all a spiritual journey and awakening, so thank you that make me go deeper into my inner self keep searching for the light and yes its hard to keep on this path in our 3 dimensional world, the story line is just keep add it , it will break soon, and then a balance of 3rd and 4th and possible 5th(depending on the sage your in) will come down, or better yet, we will go up in vibration. a star will rise. happy that  you are out there opening and holding light for all others. your music reflects how much work you have done.  beautiful!

    I can't wait til he comes to spokane!!! 🙈🙈🙈

    Matisyahu, I'm listening to the words in this song. If you feel like you can't deal with the lies or you can't decipher the truth from the lie, remember to "Surrender." Sometimes the best way to slay a dragon is with love. It turns him from nasty into kind. And that "dragon" is anything you imagine it to be, so imagine a kind one not a mean one and you will have peace in yourself. We all have dragons to slay, they are internal, but you are also in control of what kind of dragon he is, kind or mean. So just chose to make him kind and then ride on his back and fly and let him take you places you couldn't go on your own. Remember this is "your" imagination, not anyone else's. :-) Christine

    It's hard to know your enemy when you can't see there faces. Take the pain and continue on never standing in the same places.

    c.... c....

    i believe what matthew is refering as his enemy is his inner most self and inner battle of light and darkness thats hes overcome through his lifetime. Just my interpretation

    c.... c....

    i agree compeltely

  26. M.... B....
