King Without A Crown (acoustic)

Key: FmMedium

FmDACmG

FmDACm

You're Gall that I have and you're aCmll that I need

AEach and every day I pray to get to know you please

I want to Gbe close to you, yes I'm sCmo hungry

You're like Fmwater for my soul when it gets thirsty

Without Gyou there's no me, you're the aCmir that I breathe

SomeAtimes the world is dark and I just can't see

With these, Gdemons surround all around to bring me down tCmo negativity

But I Fmbelieve, yes I believe, I said I believe

I'll Gstand on my own two feet, won't be brought dCmown on one knee

I Afight with all of my might and get these demons to flee

HasGhem's rays fire blaze burn bCmright and I believe

HasFmhem's rays fire blaze burn bright and I believe

Out of Gdarkness comes light, twilCmight unto the heights

Crown AHeights burnin' up all through till twilight

Said Gthank you to my God, now I fCminally got it right

And I'll Fmfight with all of my heart, and all of my soul, and all of my might

FmWhat's this feeling, my love will rip a Dhole in the ceiling

I Agive myself to you from the eCmssence of my being

And I Fmsing to my god, Dsongs of love and healing

I Awant Moshiach now, tCmime we start revealing

FmWhat's this feeling, my love will rip a Dhole in the ceiling

I Agive myself to you from the eCmssence of my being

And I Fmsing to my god, Dsongs of love and healing

I Awant Moshiach now Cm

GStrippin' away the layers andCm reveal your soul

Got to Agive yourself up and then you become whole

You're a Gslave to yourself and you dCmon't even know

You want to liveFm the fast life but your brain moves slow

If you're Gtrying to stay high, bCmound to stay low

You want AGod but you can't deflate your ego

If Gyou're already there then there's nCmowhere to go

If you're Fmcup's already full then its bound to overflow

If you're Gdrowning in the water's and you cCman't stay afloat

Ask AHashem for mercy, and he'll throw you a rope

You're Glooking for help from God you say he cCmouldn't be found

Searching Fmup to the sky and looking beneath the ground

Like a GKing without his Crown, you kCmeep fallin' down

You Areally want to live but can't get rid of your frown

Tried to Greach unto the heights and wound bCmound down on the ground

Given Fmup your pride and the you heard a sound

Out of Gnight comes day and out of dCmay comes light

NulliAfied to the One like sunlight in a ray,

Makin' Groom for his love and a fCmire gone blaze

Makin' Fmroom for his love and a fire gone blaze

FmWhat's this feeling, my love will rip a Dhole in the ceiling

I Agive myself to you from the eCmssence of my being

And I Fmsing to my god, Dsongs of love and healing

I Awant Moshiach now, tCmime we start revealing

FmWhat's this feeling, my love will rip a Dhole in the ceiling

I Agive myself to you from the eCmssence of my being

And I Fmsing to my god, Dsongs of love and healing

I Awant Moshiach now Cm

See I Fmlift up my eyes where my Dhelp come from

And I Aseen it circling around fCmrom the mountain

ThuFmnder, you feel it in your Dchest

You keep my mind at Aease and my soul at rCmest you're not vexed

See I Fmlift up my eyes where my Dhelp come from

And I Aseen it circling around fCmrom the mountain

ThuFmnder, you feel it in your Dchest

You keep my mind at Aease and my soul at rCmest you're not vexed

Chop em Down

Key: AmEasy

AmEmAmEm

From the Amforest itself comes the Emhand for the ax

Split this Amwilderness listen up this Emain't where it's at

Clear a Ampath so that you could Emfind your way back

Chop 'em Amdown, chop 'em down; chop 'em Emdown, chop 'em down

DmTime flies by like clouds Empassing in the Amsky

Dmlifetimes hear and gone like the Emblink of an eye

DmMarch through this desert Emone-step at a Amtime, Dmmarch through the desert one step at a time

From theAm forest itself comes theEm handle for the ax,

Drop the Amstaff Moshe rabbainu split the Emocean in half,

AmMarch through the desert this Emain't where it's at

Chop 'em Amdown, chop 'em down; chop 'em Emdown, chop 'em down

DmPatterns engraved not so easily erased, still Emwandering trying to Amfind your place

DmPlaying the game I see pain on your face now a Emday's the yiddin like children sold as slaves

DmStrange ways running through the maze, Emstrange ways always lost in the desert trying to

Find to find your place lost in the desert trying to find your place

From the Amforest itself comes the Emhand for the ax

Split this Amwilderness listen up this Emain't where it's at

Clear a Ampath so that you could Emfind your way back

Chop 'em Amdown, chop 'em down; chop 'em Emdown, chop 'em down

DmJoseph descended Emsold as a Amslave,

DmThrown into a dungeon cause he Emwouldn't be swayed

DmInterpreted pharaoh's dreams and EmEgypt was saved

DmStock piled food for seven years of rain

Then Dmsold to all the nations when the drought came

AmJoseph rose to power and the Emyiddin stayed

They Amstarted to build and sucEmcess was made

AmPharos getting worried let'sEm make them pay

bound in cAmhains first born was sent down Emto their graves

DmMoshe was saved and a Emprince he was Amraised

DmHashem spoke to him hears a Emmessage to relay

Take my DmNation from Mitzrayim (Egypt) I Emsee the suffering

DmHard hearts ego breaks take sparks and make way

DmTrail blaze through the wasteland breaking the chains

AmLast generation just the ruminants

EmMarch through the desert leaving footprints

AmPeel off the lid this is just plastic, gEmet into it, get into it

Heavy Amhitter stepping solid never quitter jump into the ocean Embefore it split got a jump into it

Rip Amthrough Egypt rip through it,

Get Eminto it,

6Am00, 000 witnessed it, no you Emdidn't forget no you didn't forget

In the Amspiritual desert things are not what they seem

Snakes Emcamouflaged just fit the scene

Wp

Key: EbHard

Slap me Daft,Eb we sat down in the back of the class

To seize knowGmledge we don´t need, I forgot my late pass

But I´m earlFmy to a arival beatbox, you got raps?

Meet me oGmn the football field, don´t sleep on field, the quarterback

No one clapEbped when we locked in, it was removal of our class

But my flagGm got captured and I fell between the cracks

My tooFml for inspiration turned into a handicap

No maGmtter how I tried, I just couldn´t fill the gaps

Those whiEbpper snappers, they got trapped old chap

They losGmt the way, they never had the right map

Needed a sneak aFmttack to slap the demons off my back

So I paGmcked for the schddle dreamed big I wouldn´t settle

Put the pedEbal to the metal and returned to fundamentals

I´llGm never forget running through the hall with all y´all rebels

Roaming througFmh the high land, young bucks invincible

Echoes in my brain, iGmf kids report to the principle

AbSubstance dulls the mind

Traif* wFmine clouds the heart

You can´t sew aCm stitch with one hand

While you´re takingBb it apart

AbBright lights might look nice

But they sure Fmwon´t make you sharp

You can´t sew aCm stitch with one hand

While you´re takingBb it apart

Yeah, misty morningEb and my mum´s a mess

To make matters worse dog Gmmy pops is stressed

Life is a test, make the grade or catch an FmF

Now death is all that´s left to ponder Gm

I wander off hoping to catch my breath

And holEbd it, mold my memories from untold scripts

And roll up Gmin a tornado twist, now I´m certain

There´s a pertiFmnent reason I´m on this earth

Seasons change in white plainGms, but we remain alert

When new school years appear, fools feaEbr for a failure

And crawl away in tears Gm

I play Popeye the Sailor and stay with spinach Fm

We walk the halls with a grimace

Yeah they gossip in groups Gm

I try to mind my business and tell the truth

For inEbstance, I listen, see it all with basketball court vision Gm

Ignoring ignorance in fields of fiction

We lean back Fmin the calmest position

And embrace the honesty found witGmhin our tension

What´s good?

Trapped in the elevator of your mind

Is it real, what will you find behind the door

Your imaginations put you in a bind

Around you there´s a cloud of gloom

Swallow the key, lock yourself in a room

Can´t see outside of your Universe

No morEbe war, there won´t be anymore hunger Gm

No jealousy, not even competition

Let goFm, release, you hold the keys

Time we Gmevaporate into the breeze

EbWe are nothing, we are something

Let goGm, release, you hold the keys

It´s Fmtime we evaporate into the breeze

We areGm nothing, we´ll be something

EbWelcome to the desert of my soul

You can stay iGmf you like

There´s room for one more Fm

There´s room for one more Gm

Late night in zion

Key: CEasy

We're Cthe rGeflection of imperfection,

We cDome frGom the infinite place of limitation.

RejCoice in thGese days, make a correction,

DWe're theG completion.

Lights Cout, down fGor the count, can't get up

MeanwDhile Gthe enemy screams the boy is stuck,

and the lCegs of the kiGng are dangling in a rut

Falling pDieces, lost spaGrks, hearts cut.

We're Cnot alone in the madness,

if we're hGere, then so are you,

Deepest cDaverns underground,

we've been Gsearching for the truth,

Scrape my Cknees, on Gthe hurdles, DfacGe down in the puddles.

TheC only one who'llG get us out of this mess,

The one whoD put us here.

I've got a spear drGiven through my ear,

Can't you hear the sCound, crystal clear,

Pistols sGmashing chandeliers.

Long for Dbrooks of waterG like the deer.

A Cman is just a man,

Filled of faults and weakness,

For a Gyoung Jerusalem all alone and speechless.

NightDtime, nobody's home, roam streets in darkness.

I feel I'm Cjust a man, flesh and bones, homeless.

Planting sCeeds, they wGon't sink in.

I'm dried upD, like thGe desert earth, how could these seeds give birth.

Water me Cdown, liquGify, I will not be cursed.

From oDne into a millGion disperse.

Wisdom Creigns liGke water from heaven to below.

Crush my Dearth,G seeds sow, garden start to grow.

You know youC've got to rGise, though you like to flow.

You can't keep sDtarinGg out the window.

Earth, Cwater, wind, Gfire we stay low while getting higher.

Spark ignDiter, fighting tired

Stay wiGred, enlighten loads.

Stay alCive, weep waGil chant, cry, let out a sigh

EnergiDzed, give outG my last dime, life shouldn't pass me by.

CRise, tGo the occasion.

Keep these heartsD all blazin.

Build your life Gon a river of wax.

CMelt intoG space, we've bDeen here since the beginning, not going away.

Not gGoing away.....

Jerusalem

Key: FmHard

JerusaleFmm, if I forget you,

Dbfire not gonna come from me tongue.

JerusalemAb, if I forget you,

Eblet my right hand forget what's supposed to do.

In the ancient Fmdays, we will return with no delay

DbPicking up the bounty and the spoils on our way

We've been travelingAb from state to state

And them don't understandEb what they say

Three thousFmand years with no place to be

And they want me to give Dbup my milk and honey

Don't you see, it's notAb about the land or the sea

Not the country but the dwEbelling of his majesty

Chorus

Rebuild the temple Fmand the crown of glory

Years gone Dbby, about sixty

Burn in Abthe oven in this century

And the gas tried toEb choke, but it couldn't choke me

I will not lieFm down, I will not fall asleep

But they cDbome overseas, yes they're trying to be free

Erase the dAbemons out of our memory

Change your name and yoEbur identity

Afraid of tFmhe truth and our dark history

Why is eDbverybody always chasing we

Cut offAb the roots of your family tree

Don't you know thEbat's not the way to be

Chorus

Caught up in theseFm ways, and the worlds gone craze

Don't you know it's just Dba phase

Case of the Simon says

If I forgeAbt the truth then my words won't penetrate

Babylon burninEbg in the place, can't see through the haze

Chop downFm all of them dirty ways,

That's the price that youDb pay for selling lies to the youth

No wayAb, not ok, oh no way, not ok,Eb hey

FmAint no one gonna break my stride

DbAint no one gonna pull me down

AbOh no, I got to keEbep on moving

Stay alive
