lyrics

Jewdah Day
By Tor and David

JEWDAH:
This is dedicated to everyone who is on da path to freedom from suffering…to attaining perfect peace. Dis is da song about staying on your toes…dropping all your woes - the great release - enlightenment!

VERSE:
I hear the knock, knock of the tickety tick tock
Your life can pass you by and you can find yourself in shock
Don't let even one precious moment slip by
Being unhappy when you don't know why

Every time you're feeling tickety tied up inside
You're tockety tired of tension and you just want to hide
Don't friggedy freak out - don't get trapped by your pride
This is da sickety secret to rapping reggae style
When I'm tickety tockety toasting - I be doing wit a smile

CHORUS:
Listen to what JEWDAH say
I'm not a gunslinger, I'm a fun singer
Listen to how JEWDAH play
I'm a pranksta, I'm not a gangsta

Listen all da Jewdah Day
I'm not a user, I'm an amuser
Try to live da Jewdah way
It's all on you - expand your view
Learn to live the Jewdah way
Take it from me- the rappin reggae Buddhist Jew!

VERSE:
(one) There's a number for
every breath and every I and I
(two) There's a number added up
to equal earth and the sky
(three) That's the supernal triad, the trinity.
Divinity, three jewels make up the heart of serenity
Maybe you be a thinker
And you know your philosophy
Psychologically meshuggah pathologically
Improbably imparting an ancient tribal style
When I'm tickety tockety toasting - I be doing wit a smile

CHORUS:
Listen to what JEWDAH say
I'm not a gunslinger, I'm a fun singer
Listen to how JEWDAH play
I'm a pranksta, I'm not a gangsta

Listen all da Jewdah Day
I'm not a user, I'm an amuser
Try to live da Jewdah way
It's all on you - expand your view
Learn to live the Jewdah way
Take it from me- the rappin reggae Buddhist Jew!

BREAK:
Let Go!
Release!
And find
True peace!

Let Go!
Release!
And find
True peace!

Let Go!
Release!
And find
True peace!

Let Go!
Release!
And find
True peace!
oooohhh

CHORUS:
Listen to what JEWDAH say
I'm not a gunslinger
Listen to how JEWDAH play
I'm a fun singer
Listen all da Jewdah Day
I'm a pranksta
Try to live da Jewdah way
I'm not a gangsta
Listen to what JEWDAH say
I’m not a Usa’
Listen to how JEWDAH play
I’m an amusa’
Listen all da Jewdah Day
It's all on you - expand your view
Try to live the Jewdah way
Take it from me- the rappin reggae Buddhist Jew!
