Gangsta Rabbi Lyrics

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
