Matisyahu - Confidence

Three shots upon the sky
Three bluebirds flying high
Three sons remind me why
I ended up in crown heights

Confidence, you know you want it all
Believe in yourself
Even after the fall
I wish I knew that one
A long long time

Now when I walk in the street
I got that hop in my step
Chest out, head back
Yeah you know what I rep
I strut like a Rasta
Though I'm being chased by death
I'll be gone till whenever
Like the song by Wyclef

Listening to music
Always gave me vision
See me on the street
I'll be walkin' to the rhythm
Focus in my face
That's the way I'm straight livin'

Champion heart from the start to the beginning
I've been lookin' for the palace
A crown and a throne
Click clack around Krakow
Typing on my phone
Tackling my demons
But you know that by now
Hasidic reggae superstar
Tell you all how

Got it on the inside
Don't need to wear it out
Can't say I'm not religious
I just let go of the doubt
And right about now

I like old things
Things that go slow
Antiques and such
So you know what I know
I'm an old soul
That's the way I like to go
I'm thankful for the bumps, yeah
I like to feel the road

How can I defend against snakes and scorpions
Tryin' to be your friends
But then they cut you in the end
I feel sleep movin'
Collapse and give up then I start again
How can I pretend

Confidence, you know you want it all
Believe in yourself
Even after the fall
I wish I knew that one
A long long time

Confidence, you know you want it all
Believe in yourself
Even after the fall
I wish I knew that one
A long long time tell you all how

Got it on the inside
Don't need to wear it out
Can't say I'm not religious
I just let go of the doubt
And right about now
I'ma let go of this trout
Whispering my pleas, I ain't gotta be loud

Throw it in the sea, throw it back to the sea
Underneath the clouds
Yea you know what I mean
This is my silent scream
Doin' as I please
I bless you with the ease
Why these dudes judgin' me

Take a piece a herb and break it up
Roll it up, take a draw to the head top
Head nice, head nice
Me a wine with de gyal dem a bounce to the one drop
Everything nice, ting nice
Everybody a vibes and me nuh waan hear no gun shot
Pure vibes, good vibes
A weh some foolishness some people dem a come chat
Some people a rate you
Some people dem a hate you
Some people a go through life
And nah care 'bout nobody else you likkle bait you
Me have de confidence fi keep strong
Have de confidence fi hold on
Bun out pestilence in all residence
Read Old Testament from how long
It's not an easy road but we have fi live it
Anything in life, put in all of your heart
And mind and your soul
Remember the greatest gift is love

Confidence, you know you want it all
How can I walk tall?
With the critic in my head
Won't let me rest till I'm small
How can I walk tall?
Confidence, critic in my head
Believe in yourself
With this critic in my head now
Won't rest till I feel small
