lyrics

J Status
By Tor, David and Eshy

TAV:
Yeah, what up! This track is featuring a brand new talent...a Jewish brother from another mother...Eshy!


CHORUS:
Everybody throw it down and
Get in the game
Uh-I wannit, uh-I wannit
Jayyyyy Status

Make it up and shake it up
Knowhamsayin'?
Uh-I got, uh-I got
Jayyyyy Status


TAV:
Can't be everything to everyone
There's nothing new now under the sun
Can't beat the best, I'm still number one
Don't mess with me or you'll come undone
‘Cause I got Jayyyyyyyyy Status

Nobody wants to be a sucker played
Too many people are acting too stayed
I got the secret to having it made
Don't be afraid of getting j'd
‘Cause I got....Jayyyyyyy Status


SHUG:
I've been J'd since I was born
Clipped me clean on the 8th morn
Took those lemons - made lemonade
Right from the start - when I was J'd
Cause I got Jaaayyyyyyy Status!

JEWDAH:
You can't make it, you can't fake it (it's all the rage)
You gotta be it, reach down and free it (get on the page)
You can't say it, you can't play it (do it today)
You just gotta lay back and then you'll J it (this is the way)
Jayyyyyyyy Status!

CHORUS:
Everybody throw it down and
Get in the game
Uh-I wannit, uh-I wannit
Jayyyyy Status

Make it up and shake it up
Knowhamsayin'?
Uh-I got, uh-I got
Jayyyyy Status

ESHY:
I got a J Status matta fact I may be the baddest rappa
Who ever came down from the steps of Judaic history's ladda
So say what you want it doesn't matta you hat and ya chatta
I seen it before I'm a Jay I only fear the massa'

My massa' stood with the J's
Throughout the Macabee days
Survived the tax and beatings
When we were Egyptian slaves

You know who mez Hashem
He put the J in gentlemen
He's one God with one squad
Israel, echad, echad

What makes me a J
Is I'm Jewish since the day I came through the gates of
The spirit world and entered the world as a babe


My status is ingrained like hyroglyphics in caves
It's written in the book
I'm a Jewish poet like King Dave
Who's born and misbehaved
Born to go against the grain
Born to see that the J's are never ever put to shame

So whatever the name of your religion it came
From the J's remember that 'fore you try to defame

Uh...Uh


BRIDGE
Go on a JDate, and meet your JMate
Show your JStyle and make a JSmile
Hit the Road J and have a JTime
Turn up the JBeat and bussa JRhyme

Whip it out! Whip out your Jaayyy status
Hold it up! Hold up your Jaayyy status
Show it off! Show off your Jaayyy status
Whip it out! Hold it up! Show it off! It's J Day!
Whip it out! Hold it up! Show it off! It's J Day!
Whip it out! Hold it up! Show it off! It's J Day!

CHORUS:
Everybody throw it down and
Get in the game
Uh-I wannit, uh-I wannit
Jayyyyy Status

Make it up and shake it up
Knowhamsayin'?
Uh-I got, uh-I got
Jayyyyy Status

I wannit, I gottit
I wannit, I gottit
J-j-j Jayyyyyyyy Status!


ESHY:
Yeah, Eshy. I got the J Status, son of David and you can't have it and you can't take it 'cause it sacred.
