I Was Blind

by: Unfazed

And here's a translation of "I Was Blind." I want to work on these two songs for now.

Yeah...My inspiration. Where does it come from? It comes from waking up in the morning and knowing that G-d gave me another day. It comes from knowing that whatever I do, Hashem is behind me; that no matter where I go, G-d will strengthen my resolve to keep fighting. Fighting to become a better person.

Hayiti iver/ I was blind
Lo yadati le'hyot/ I didn't know how to live
Achshav ani nelcham/ Now I'm fighting
Keneged kol ha'hayot/ Against all the animals
Ein pachad/ There's no fear
Yesh tachat/ There's a bottom (to sit)
La'shevet lilmod / To sit and learn
hochmot me'hatalmud / The Talmud's wisdom
Achshav ani mabsud/ Now I'm satisfied
Mekir et atzmi/ Know myself
Yodea she'isha tova/ Know that a good woman
Lo stam eize stut/ Isn't just a one-night stand
Matchil le'hitbonen im ha'zman/ I'm beginning to get stronger with time
Yesh ta'am/ I want to
Le'gdol be'Torah/ Grow in Torah
U'mitzvot And mitzvot/ And good deeds
Ze lo ezize sod/ It's no secret
Le'kol Yehudi/ Every Jew
Yesh et ze bedamo/ Has it in his blood
Ha'ikar/ The key
La'tet le'Elokim / Is to allow G-d
Lagur betocheinu/ To live within us
Lomdim me'chayeinu/ We learn from our lives
Menasim le'hashlim/ We try to put things behind us
Menasim le'havin/ We try to understand
She'yesh me'ever le'mashe/ That there's more than
Roim be'chayim/ We see
Yom yomim/ In our everyday lives

Kama tov le'hyot / How good it is
Ba'olam ha'ze / To live in this world
Kama tov la'daat / How good to know
She'ani shave / That I'm worth it
Ani matzig la'olam kulo / I'm presenting the world
Sipur milchama / A story of war
Yodea she'ein le'an le'vroach / I know there's nowhere to run away to
Ein ma le'hitaka/ No reason to stop

Kama tov le'hyot
Ba'olam ha'ze
Kama tov la'daat
She'ani shave
Ani matzig la'olam kulo
Sipur milchama
Yodea she'ein le'an le'vroach
Ein ma le'hitaka

I'm doing it still
Still needing to thrill
This time around
It's a whole new crowd
My people
Need a leader
Someone to trust
And I feel I must
Lead a revolution
End the pollution
Of the Jewish mind
By liberal swine
By secular politicians
I need all the ammunition I can carry on my back
I can't side-track
Learn the Torah
Rebuild the Temple
Take back the menorah
Take back our pride
How many have tried?
How many have died?
Al Kiddush Hashem (sanctifying the Name of G-d)
Haim ani ashem? (Am I guilty?)
Haim ani lo nisiti (Haven't I tried?)
Lo kamti (Didn't stand up?)
Lo nelchamti (Didn't fight)
Lo karati le'ami le'hilachem be'Amalek (Didn't call on my People to fight Amalek?)
I've made it this far
There's no looking back!

Kama tov le'hyot
Ba'olam ha'ze
Kama tov la'daat
She'ani shave
Ani matzig la'olam kulo
Sipur milchama
Yodea she'ein le'an le'vroach
Ein ma le'hitaka

Kama tov le'hyot
Ba'olam ha'ze
Kama tov la'daat
She'ani shave
Ani matzig la'olam kulo
Sipur milchama
Yodea she'ein le'an le'vroach
Ein ma le'hitaka

I still want my piece of the land in the sun
How bad do I want to get the job done?
Well, put it this way
I'm gonna put bullets in yo' head
That's if you want my people dead
Cause no one loves this here place more
I'm more dangerous no than I was ever before
Dreams of taking the Temple Mount back
I can't get rid of these thoughts
I'm back on the attack
Soon as the light of the sun comes light up the day
I got a lot of things to say in my daily shemon esre
I pray and I say:
Grant me the power to go on
Don't ever turn your back on me
I'm your servant
You're the light
G-d grant me the might
The power
To blossom like a flower

Kama tov le'hyot
Ba'olam ha'ze
Kama tov la'daat
She'ani shave
Ani matzig la'olam kulo
Sipur milchama

My old self is about to vanquish from the rap scene
You haven't been where I've been
Haven't done what I've done
Haven't run down the Arabs and liberals I've run
Down to size
But it's not about that
Cause I'm better than that
I'm badder than that
I'm bigger and phatter than that
I crush the competition like Bush crushed Saddam
But as bad as it gets, I'm still having fun
I'm still the rap-daddy of 'em all
But how come y'all wanna question my form?
How come I gotta taste my own blood?
Yo, how much love for the Palis have all y'all liberals got?
Why is it that every time the Rabbi's mentioned it causes a stir?
Why is it that every time Obama is likened to Osama y'all gotta fear?
My beats and my lyrics rule supreme
So how come my people just wanna scream?
How come we die every day—get chopped down by enemy guns?
How come the world don't care about our sons!?
