lyrics

Chutzpah Is…
by Tor and David and Etan G



Etan G
Yo, wassup? Etan G in the Houuuuuuse…Chillin’ with Chutzpah…Now we gonna tell ‘em what it is….boys…Master Tav, MC meshugenah, Jew-DA-wuth a Hay..Let’s tell ‘em what it is!

CHORUS
Chutzpah is...
The 'get it done' stuff
The balls, moxie,
The nerve, guff

Chutzpah is...
Bein in da groove
The drive, the way,
The chops, the moves

Chutzpah is...
Ahead of its time
A hip hop supergroup
Bustin' out rhymes

Chutzpah is...
The muthafuckin’ shit
Pimpin' servin' up
Muthafuckin' hits

Jewdah:
Walkin’ in da club fulla’ killas
Rotgut swillas, drunk godzillas
Wearing cold crush grillas
Bumpin’ past their shoulders
Big as bolders strapping nasty weapon holders
Pushin’ all those big-ass bastards off to one side
Hoppin on da’ bar and shoutin'
"ONE TRIBE"
"ONE TRIBE"
That's Chutzpah!

If someone tells you stop your dreamin'
It's unseemly seeing you believing
All the stuff you're beaming
Everywhere and everyplace
You shove it in their face
And take your place in front of all the human race
Swap their nays up for your yays
Because you must and
Leave naysayers in the dust

CHORUS
Chutzpah is...
The 'get it done' stuff
The balls, moxie,
The nerve, guff

Chutzpah is...
Bein in da groove
The drive, the way,
The chops, the moves

Chutzpah is...
Ahead of its time
A hip hop supergroup
Bustin' out rhymes

Chutzpah is...
The muthafuckin’ shit
Pimpin' servin' up
Muthafuckin' hits

TAV:
History is hard to see
When over all the centuries
The gap is how they slap you down -
Your race and creed and not your deeds
But what they use to weigh abuse
Can't make a difference if you choose
To win the game not claim the lose
You be the bomb not burn the fuse
Chutzpah!


Anytime you hear the call
It's all or nothing there's no in
Between no eeny meeny miney
Don't believe the teeny tiny
Voice that doubts you shut it out
It's all about the voice that shouts
Out loud resounding with the heart
Who's beat is pounding proud and hard
Chutzpah! Yeah…Chutzpah!

ALL:
You wanna get some...Get, Get
Get Chutzpah!
What…What!

TAV:
When yer smacking down clams
For the girly girls gams
Makin' out like SLIM SHADY
Money, money wid da ladies

That's Chutzpah...
Yeah…Uh…That’s Chutzpah!

Etan G:
It’s an attitude
Whether you’re black white or Jew
The ability to speak, opportunity to reach out
When everyone completely forgets how
To raise the bar not have it drop down

To better humanity with a little positivity
When the moral compass borders on insanity

It’s the attitude that lets you step above the fray
Step above the rest
Work to the top
Work to be the best

When the world goes one way
And you could go the other
To be yourself and take care of one another
Help Out!!

A sister or a brother
Chutzpah is to say it like you mean it
To love one another
Have faith and believe it
Chutzpah’s when you shout it out loud
When the rest of the world tells you to keep it down

ALL:
Everybody wants some
Everybody wants some
Everybody wants some
Everybody wants some
Chutzpah!
Yeah
Some Chutzpah

CHORUS
Chutzpah is...
The 'get it done' stuff
The balls, moxie,
The nerve, guff

Chutzpah is...
Bein in da groove
The drive, the way,
The chops, the moves

Chutzpah is...
Ahead of its time
A hip hop supergroup
Bustin' out rhymes

Chutzpah is...
The muthafuckin’ shit
Pimpin' servin' up
Muthafuckin' hits


ALL:
You wanna get some...
Get, get, get Chutzpah! (what, what)
You wanna get some...
Get, get, get Chutzpah! (what, what)

You wanna get some...
Get, get, get Chutzpah! (what, what)
You wanna get some...
Get, get, get Chutzpah! (what, what)

CHORUS
Chutzpah is...
The 'get it done' stuff
The balls, moxie,
The nerve, guff

Chutzpah is...
Bein in da groove
The drive, the way,
The chops, the moves

Chutzpah is...
Ahead of its time
A hip hop supergroup
Bustin' out rhymes

Chutzpah is...
The muthafuckin’ shit
Pimpin' servin' up
Muthafuckin' hits
