Abraham: Lech Lecha (Left my Daddy’s Home)
CHORUS:
Left my country and I left my hometown
Made Aliyah but sometimes I’m so down
Trying to be your blessing but I’m plagued by my own doubts
The hardest thing I did was to leave my Dad’s house
My soul was wandering my mind was racin’
I’d lose them both if I didn’t chase them
Lech Lecha VeHeyeh Bracha…
And I’m just tryin to live up
To my Daddy’s name and his name is I won’t give up
You stood tall in your wheel chair
Feeding tube feeding you, all knew it wasn’t fair
You were my idol, coolest pops it was your title
Like a white Bill Cosby you taught me what I know
But there was something missing when I listened to my flow
Trapped in me lung, or tacked to me tongue
And I looked for the language for my song to be sung
From the New York Times to the Hollywood Sign
I spoke what I heard but the words weren’t mine
Til I Hip-Hopped a plane and came to Mt. Zion
Bible Raps, who’d a thought that I’d be on that?
Not sure where I’m aiming but I know it’s beyond rap
And this the voice of my heart cause I write with my blood
And my daddy’s love, from above
CHORUS
Daddy I remember when your idols gave me splinters
You said the gods were angry to be handled by beginners
But then you winked and said that they were jealous of the winners
This is temporary work we’d leave for Caanan after winter
I think you always knew that the idols were see through
But then you got confused as to what else to see to…
I see you making gods as the candle melts
I wake up in morning 40 idols on the mantle shelf
Stone ones, jade, bronze and even rubies too
Each god displayed: another to see through
At last you made, an idol shining
Like imprisoned lightning it was made of diamond
Your look was surprising, your eyes were crying
Your knife was rising, you looked it in the eyes and
Said “Here I am, stop me if you can!”
On top Mt. Moriah I think I finally understand
CHORUS
