Mike Liddell | Massachusetts | 07/23/2007

"If you like King without a crown and you also are really into reggae I'd suggest getting Live at Stubbs or his sophomore album Youth they both contain King without a crown and being that Matisyahu is considered one of the more interesting new comers to the reggae scene you'd probably enjoy those more.

Although there are multiple versions of King Without a Crown, i know people that have heard the slowed down version and didn't like it, but liked the more upbeat tempo version.

If your like me and once you like a song can listen to it over and over and zone out in your car if it's got a good beat and you don't always listen to entire cds then i'd suggest this.

You'll get both versions of King Without a Crown and a remix by Beastie Boys Mike D, I included the lyrics below.



You're all that I have and you're all that I need

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

I want to be close to you, yes I'm so hungry

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

Without you there's no me

You're the air that I breathe

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

With these, demons surround all around to bring me down to negativity

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

I'll stand on my own two feet

Won't be brought down on one knee

Fight with all of my might and get these demons to flee

Hashem's rays fire blaze burn bright and I believe

Hashem's rays fire blaze burn bright and I believe

Out of darkness comes light, twilight unto the heights

Crown Heights burnin' up all through till twilight

Said thank you to my God, now I finally got it right

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



[Chorus:]

What's this feeling?

My love will rip a hole in the ceiling

I give myself to you from the essence of my being and I

Sing to my god, songs of love and healing

I want Moshiach now, time we start revealing

What's this feeling?

My love will rip a hole in the ceiling

I give myself to you from the essence of my being and I

Sing to my god, songs of love and healing

I want Moshiach now



Strippin' away the layers and reveal your soul

Got to give yourself up and then you become whole

You're a slave to yourself and you don't even know

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

If you're trying to stay high, bound to stay low

You want God but you can't deflate your ego

If you're already there then there's nowhere to go

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

If you're drowning in the water's and you can't stay afloat

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

You're looking for help from God you say he couldn't be found

Searching up to the sky and looking beneath the ground

Like a King without his Crown

You keep fallin' down

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

Tried to reach unto the heights and wound bound down on the ground

Given up your pride and the you heard a sound

Out of night comes day and out of day comes light

Nullified to the One like sunlight in a ray,

Makin' room for his love and a fire gone blaze

Makin' room for his love and a fire gone blaze



[Chorus:]

What's this feeling?

My love will rip a hole in the ceiling

I give myself to you from the essence of my being and I

Sing to my god, songs of love and healing

I want Moshiach now, time we start revealing

What's this feeling?

My love will rip a hole in the ceiling

I give myself to you from the essence of my being and I

Sing to my god, songs of love and healing"
