Avinu Malkeinu Allahu Akbar Chaneinu V'aneinu Allahu Akbar Baruch Hashem Allahu Akhbar They say you promised me land, but I'm just a man Trying to stand for myself so I don't know if I can Hold hands With my brother where he stand They say you promised me land, but be honest how can You stand on any side of a line in the sand Old man Why you not lending your hand What kind of God are you What do we gotta do To get the truth out of you Without having to lie to you You remind me of my parents With my brother and me Misusing sticks and carrots Like your love isn't free Why do you have us act entitled To what doesn't belong to us Because it belongs to you Did you make us strong enough How long will the feud go on Why it gotta be so long and rough Can you help us do less wrong And show us how to be as strong as your love You sitting above, but we don't understand It's time to come down and show us your hand I know it's your plan but damn The children is learning a scam You shrugging your shoulders, you give me a wink Then you go disappear into the sink As quick as a blink now I think You might destroy me for making a stink I've taken your name in vain more than once And I can explain All of these days and nights That I've taken these blunts straight to the brain Now I'm paying a price for these stunts But no shame - I came as I came I think you explained it once The same day you gave Jacob his name They say you promised me land, but I'm just a man Trying to stand for myself so I don't know if I can Hold hands With my brother where he stand They say you promised me land, but be honest how can You stand on any side of a line in the sand Old man Why you not lending your hand My brother's in the other corner He'll say he was here first Passing through the hands of the Imperialist Turks Into another empire, Where the sun never sets He had a good place for a safe Where the guns could be kept Promises was made to him In exchange for his assistance In a war devoid of honesty When they'd say to wait till Christmas Then some years passed, I came He saw me as younger But my soul is much older Got dang big little brother If the reason that I'm there Ain't fair to him, then I don't care Where our parents been? Somewhere looking down as they swear Up and down they was there to do Something besides just give a run around And stare down from the top of the stairs And it's fine that he don't care what I been through Though I think he do He been dared to make it him too He just don't think it through Wasting money on rockets While he scream from a roof This home don't belong to either of us It's yours - look, we the proof They say you promised me land, but I'm just a man Trying to stand for myself so I don't know if I can Hold hands With my brother where he stand They say you promised me land, but be honest how can You stand on any side of a line in the sand Old man Why you not lending your hand Ase imanu tzedakah vachesed, Vehoshiyeinu. Avinu Malkeinu,
