Medinat Mishtara - Police state

[Verse 1]
I live in a police state
And they say we have not adapted by choice
(*they) Give me a weird feeling
That my skin color brings with it trouble
Yes, they say it's mentally engraved in me
And they say that I have criminal tendencies
 
[Chorus]
A new wind will come with the coming of the sun
(The sun that will shine on us)
It's only a matter of time before change occurs
And how will change come, if not from us
 
[Verse 2]
And grandma talks about Ethiopia
about mountains and rivers and about utopia
So raise your hand for Yosef Salamsa
Because we forgot Avera 1 there in Gaza
Oh, all this is a screw in the machine
And you don't always belong to the right community 2
 
[Chorus]
A new wind will come with the coming of the sun
(The sun that will shine on us)
It's only a matter of time before change occurs
And how will change come, if not from us
 
[Outro]
Avesha 3 lives in a police state
And sometimes Avesha has no choice
There is no violence from police side there is a behavior according to norms
Just an electric shocker or strong punch
 
[ Radio Skit]
(The trophy for the Hatikva neighborhood!)
 

• 1. Avera Mengistu - is Israeli citizen has been held in Gaza by Hamas
• 2. ethnic or religious group
• 3. It means in Amharic an Israeli from Ethiopia

A coffe with a cigarette

I wake up in the morning drink a cup of coffee with a cigarette
imagine your face in the day and in the night too
I wake up in the morning drinks a cup of coffee with a cigarette
always intrested and asks if you're hot or you're cold
 
because I don't really understand the movies that you eat*
don't really understand if you're naive or such a crook
don't understand which language you speak in
don't find the way to pour the heart on the notebook
and all of the things that I wanted to say I didn't say
all of the secrets I didn't tell
the friends say ' you'd rather ignore my bro
listen to Berry**, a broken heart is an intact heart my bro'
what an intact heart and what shoes***
I'm a half anonimus singer, marginal music
and finally when I found somone who wull accept me with my scratches**** and maybe will cure my scars
I, simply choose to run away to leave
to a place that will do a liitle bit better to me
I listened to you so much that I didn't listen to myself
I loved you so much that I forgot who I am
 
I wake up in the morning drink a cup of coffee with a cigarette
imagine your face in the day and in the night too
I wake up in the morning drinks a cup of coffee with a cigarette
always intrested and asks if you're hot or you're cold
 
so here's another little story
people say that a love like that reminds them an old middle eastern song I try to think future and the past doesn't pass
so light up a small (cigarette) my friend because my frustration is growing, sh* I fell again into the thoughts night
we''l light up a cigarette, maybe we''ll ignite some hopes
my heart burned when I remmember your face
how you moved forward I was your life
I spend the last months with thoughts about you
If it's good for you or bad for you' anf how are you without me
how they treat you, how you treat them back
whare do you run away now in moments of trouble
tell me did you keep over a memoru from me a good advice or something or an agenda to life about believing in who we are
because noone will understand people like us that's the difference
I hate you beacause you're just like me
 

We'll Meet In The Next Life

Who knows whether I'll see your face again
Denial passes, but it will come back
And if they say that fate exists, they say it's all written
Then maybe I've no reason at all to be sad
 
I wish you'll find a place your own
Take off further than outer space
Since this ending is also a beginning
We'll meet in the next life
 
It's been four weeks since the water washed me away
The sun doesn't shine, the sky lost it's light
Except for my desperate dreams
There's no medicine to cure longing
 
I wish you'll find a place your own
Take off further than outer space
Since this ending is also a beginning
We'll meet in the next life
 
Every day I read a song that you wrote
But only one, so I won't run out
And it's a crazy world, like that song you loved
And my strained heart still hasn't healed
 
We'll meet in the next life
 

Me and Her

What of me and her? What of me and her?
What of me and her? What of me and her?
 
I wanna be a part of your world
Your rivers, your lakes
Your failures and your flaws
Your first memories
Your private jokes, your musings, your mistakes
Your funny faces
I love you
To hell with the world, I love you
I'm living you, breathing you, dreaming you
I live this way every day, I'm aching you
I'll say it 100,000 more times: 'I love you!'
I know we have gaps between us
Like a whole world separating two mountains
A love between sandstorms and frostbites
You're here, but light-years away from me
 
What of me and her? Me and her?
She's so far away from me
What does she even see in me?
She's so far away from me
 
You're the embodiment of butterflies in one's stomach
The yearning for the first rain
You're an awesome chorus on a jam session
The laying of one's head on soft grass after a long day
You're all the colors of the rainbow
There was a time when I didn't know how to approach you
But you've knocked down the wall, built a bridge
Our souls were connected even when we disconnected
You're the purest thing in a world full of lies, my little truth
I couldn't understand what you found in me
We couldn't find the middle ground, and you've no idea how deeply you touched me
We don't walk on the same paths
What does she and I have other than a lot of words?
A lot of words
 
What of me and her? Me and her?
She's so far away from me
What does she even see in me?
She's so far away from me
 

I Hereby

I hereby take it upon myself
To love
To love
With all the hatred within me
To love
To love
 
The whole world is not at fault for my problems
For my losses and my doubts
And where are all my deeds and attributes
I hereby take it upon myself
 
Today, I am taking responsibility
For all the foolish things that I've done
To all those whom I've hurt, forgive me
 
For my walls, my hesitations, my defenses
For my negativity and underestimation
For my jealousy and my grudge
 
I take it upon myself to realize that I'm reckless and agitated
And to accept the consequences
Of my mistakes
With all the anger in my heart, over all my surroundings
This expectation that others will act or think like me
 
I hereby take it upon myself
To love
A love that does not depend on anything
 
To live in peace with who I am
And to let go of the past, at last
 
I take it upon myself
To let go of the one I loved
To let her live her life in peace
And to wish her well
 
She deserves to love as well
She deserves to love as well
 

A Whole World

They don't know me, they don't know me
I ain't a single hit on the radio, they don't know me
I'm a whole world, don't let them define me
They don't know me
Don't let them exclude me, nor glorify me
 
They don't know me,
I won't bear the mark of shame, nor the mark of Cain
On the prime time, in a deafening, heartbreaking news report
No long line of girls, they don't jump at me
For some reason, all the crazy ones are all over me
 
They don't know me,
'Cause I don't appear on every screen
The spotlight doesn't compensate for what you lack
They don't know me,
I know exactly who I am inside
My strength is in my loins, I don't listen to no experts
 
I'm a kid whose sole purpose was to be a sick rapper
I ain't a passing trend, not one to come and go
I'm not a 'maybe', or an 'although', or a 'like', or an 'instead'
I'm a whole world, the Lord's creation, made in His image
 
I'm a storm, I'm a strand of hair,
A river of lava, a living flame, the good by the bad
I found my comfort, let go of vengeance
So I'm water, wind, fire and earth, body and soul
 
In a sea of gazes, eyes are looking at you
And whatever you do, time will slip between your fingers
 
They don't know me,
I wanted to be the boss, to be up in the clouds
And it feels very lonely being center stage
Friends from America called me on Skype
I told them, 'Don't believe all the hype.'
 
They can Hide it, they can Like it
I'll still be sitting at home with socks and flip flops on
They don't know me,
Bound to the ground like an olive tree
Won't back down without a fight, no
 
They say publicity can drive you mad
'Cause an artist feeds on breakdowns, he's restless
So what happens when songs become paycheck
If this is the price of fame
Then fuck fame and screw success
 
Say, is it true, Ravid...
Say, who wrote the chorus, Ravid...
Talk to me, who composed the national anthem, Ravid...
Say, who cracked the atoms, Ravid...
 
And in this ridiculous chase for greatness
I've hurt the people I care the most about
And neglected my friends, turned out unrestrained
Trying to be a good person,
But my intentions keep falling through
 
For years, I haven't given my dad a hard time
I'm a gown up kid, still living between one-night stands
Mature enough for a relationship, in this reality
Which is something between an insane fantasy and half a nightmare
 
They don't know me,
I'm marching toward the path, beyond the sound
My heart's frequency will lead me, making me achieve the extraordinary
They don't know me,
Now I realize that's natural
'Cause at the end of the day, the world doesn't revolve around me
 
They don't know me,
Honestly, sometimes I don't even know myself
I love these cigarettes,
More than I love myself
Wanting everyone to love you
Is like drinking something that's making you thirsty
Or succeeding while being self-destructive
 
I'm writing through the sword of my soul, free inside
So I'm actually writing myself
Said I'm writing through the sword of my soul, free inside
So I'm actually writing myself
And they don't know me
 
In a sea of gazes, eyes are looking at you
And whatever you do, time will slip between your fingers
 
She doesn't know me,
I became a wary man who shows no emotions
Just a liar, a heartbreaker
Nothing heroic about toying girls' feelings
Long as the guys say you fuck a lot, huh?
 
She doesn't know me,
Says my genre doesn't really catch on, 'cause
People here don't get it, but they do abroad, hell yeah they do abroad
And she used to dance Salsa and some Breakbeat
And she and her bestie shared a lesbian experience
 
She doesn't know me,
Or had a ménage à trois, with a famous celeb
But only when he was in his prime,
'Cause now he's such a 'has been'
She texted me, 'Your song made my heart melt.'
And she came to my show to do me
 
I hinted that her sarcasm doesn't work on me
She replied, 'Your modesty is condescending,
Your hypocrisy doesn't fool me,
'Cause all men are horny, and so are you.'
Honestly, true
 
You don't know me,
I'm looking for my missing parts
I miss the days when we were friends
You don't know me, I'd donate my body parts for you
Now we're just acquaintances
 
When boredom strikes, I don't give a fuck today
Drank four coffee mugs, and my eye twitches today
Didn't wanna wait up for her
She can come by tomorrow, it's late anyway
So I jerked off twice today
 
They don't know me,
Got what I deserve after so many years
Surrounded by drug-loving stoner friends
And maybe, but just maybe
I'm too nerdy to be comfortable with this success
To be flashy and loud
 
They don't know me,
I've been blessed to make a living off the thing that I love most
Real talk, fuck the world
From birth, up until this point
Everything just got clearer and brighter, and I'm grateful
For the Creator, for you, and for the importance of this journey
For the Creator, for you, and for the importance of this journey
For the Creator, for you, and for the importance of this journey
They don't know me
 
In a sea of gazes, eyes are looking at you
And whatever you do, time will slip between your fingers
You tried to soar, to open Heaven's Gates
Heaven's Gates
Heaven's Gates
 

Ignorant and Common

I work like crazy the entire day yes
Build a career, another reason to worry yes
Deep inside the same sure feeling
That they're all staling from me, Shula Zaken
I drive on the roads and they're all jammed, it's a little distressing
Life is like a juice squeezer, you know it sprays
There's no money the pockets are tight, I get exhausted
And life makes hard people, you want to feel?
Ignorant and common my journey wears me out
The way is long and the path only grows longer
All the means are fair and we'll need money on the road
So meanwhile we'll go with the flow and I'll tell you how
It goes, all organize and sit down
Kids it's story time, guess who's the chief of the clan
I told her that life is like a wheel, she said 'Darling they're like a windmill'
I smiled and kept smoking like a train engine
 
I've made it this far and don't ask how
I'm not a bystander, I work my ass off
They asked 'where?' I said I don't know
Ignorant and common, Ig Ignorant and common
 
I've no definite proofs, it's all pure nonsense
Day by day all the world drinks my blood and fuel
Whores annoy me, they come and go, fuck 'em
All my ex girlfriends leave and don't come back, and rightly
Every evening I come back to the same house
Mega MC with a shortage of megabytes
Black coffee, cigarettes and Winston Lite
In my dreams I fly above you all, soar like an eagle
I don't understand nothing, not consistent or symmetrical
Ignorant and common, no report cards or SAT's
Not psychotechnical, haven't attended extra classes
Ashkenazi Rastaman, poetic, local, modern
If you will, it will not be only a tale, depends on the swagga
A rolling stone call Nechi Mick Jagger
It's just like ABC or abcde
Just start the chorus and move on
 
Chorus
 
Tell me what, what's going on with you
Tell me what, what will happen to you
Tell me what, what will become of you
A crazy kid I'm gripped by craziness
 
Tell me what, what's going on with you
Tell me what, where will go you
Tell me what, what will become of you
Just wait and see
