Steve Lieberman Gangsta Rabbi
Verse 1
I was born into the Holy Tribe
afflicted with poverty
from the streets of the ghetto
I preached the Deuteronomy
But the oppressors came out early
they tried to persecute me
they didn't like the warning
from my boyhood ministry
Chorus 1
I'm the
gangsta
rabbi
preaching all day and the night
Gangsta
rabbi
separating the wrong from the right
They call me the gangsta
my people, they show me door
they call me the rabbi
cause I speak of the Holy Law
Descendant from the Prophets
and others, guilty of sin
I saw so much persecution
everywhere I've been
Chorus 2
I'm the
gangsta
rabbi
coming through on Radio Zion
Gangsta
rabbi
taking on the evil lion
Verse 3
I'm not conservative or orthodox
I am the Badlan'im
separated from isolation
for the Kidosh'im
The oppressors they still come out
they try to persecute me
they still don't like my warning
now in my ministry
