No air in the house, I'm choking, and I'm sick of it
Tel Aviv's a vibe, for now, so hi, Bavli
Don't want to wait in vain for you, Love
Like that Rabbi wrote, the "Baba1" - Bob Marley
Total chaos, I ain't moving and my time flies
They'll come eventually, but until then, it's hustlin' time
Trying to hold on, to be funny
So you sneak in some trick from your slick
'Cause who's gonna love some real rappin'?
Whatever happens, you need to get your check by the 1st
In the morning - at the office, in the night - feeling like Drake
Jumping on the crowd at the emptiest hall
"Yeah, thanks for the band, soon we'll serve the steaks."
And how much I've wanted love and respect back then
To be the best, to control the feedback
I only got worries, shoutings, dang it
'Til I tried to leave, to trust and to lean back
You wanted an entire world
You've tried to fly
But a man realizes he's only a man -
So he spreads his wings
And at night he dreams about flying to space
But a man realizes he's only a man -
So he spreads his wings...
It started with some noise, turned into a volcano
Every mumble or every "Hi, Guy!2" felt like "Hi, ISIS!" to me
Just a clueless fool in a useless label
Not sure if I'm a rapper or a commander at the Border Police
Too busy to have fun, too busy to answer
Even physically I was dizzy, too dizzy to stand up
Even doctors, therapists, lawyers, and commotions
Even she and I are dissin', tiptoeing
Yo, one sunny day you're not the youngest anymore
You turn it into a song, and your whole world flips over
Going out for some air, or just buying some shampoo in the city
And you got a Samsung up your nose, and they insist you'd smile
Wherever you go, there's some disappointed motherfucker
And the more I learn to protect my heart
From their perspective, I became everything I hated about celebs
I ain't one of them, fuck it, let the DJ do some spinnin'
[Chorus]
30 years of dreams all happened in a month
Back then I didn't know whether it's a blessing or a punishment
They told me, "Come save us, man, you came straight into the drought3."
But all I ever wanted was to be free, free, free, free
Free to look after myself, to shut my inner voice
Free from making that guy or that girl happy
They say about me what they think about themselves
But it's not in my control, so see ya, I mean, what, who do you think you are?
And some girl called me a genius, thanks, sweetie, that's great
It's all just failure, success, goodbye, distress, depression
Put on a stopwatch, baby, if you got a year on your clock
Actually, fuck, that's what eventually brings in the millions
And life isn't a vacation in Rhodes
And it's all about what you focus on
And I took the whole world upon myself
But who knew that the secret of the Zodiac was to be a man
[Chorus]
Hey, it's time to get up and leave
There's no more load to carry
Where the heart is clean
That's where the party is
For years I'm stuck at the traffic light
'Til I stopped looking sideways and backwards
Made it out of the atmosphere and back
Shit, Bazooka only missed by a decade4
I head-butted the moon
Stayed there to see the sunri...
[Ending:]
"Our main engine is gone
We're losing height...
We seem to have a problem
with our main engine
We've lost a lot of height... our state is unclear
Right now we have no communication, it is possible
That the spacecraft... is lost
We're checking up on the control crew"

This is a reference to the Bazooka bubble gum, which included small comic strips along with some fortunetelling sentences.
