Busta Gruven

Hey Busta:

Back-atcha babe. You've inspired me to offer this very alternative Amidah selection.

For sure the Religious Practices Committee will consider pasting it into every Shabbat Siddur. It goes something like this:

THE HEB-HOP NATION

We're the people of the book
Come check us out: come on take a look

Forget all that stuff about horns and tails

We're flesh and blood
And we stay outta jails

We go all the way hack to Abraham A real cool cat
Who got in a jam; when he busted all the idols that were stone cold dead
"There's just one God", that's what he said

CHORUS
Hebrews, Hebrews, no mo singin da blues Hebrews, Hebrews, cuz we win when we lose

So the Hebrews started movin
and split the scene
cuz no one else was buyin that circumcision thing
We grew until we numbered 12 whole tribes
Then Joseph started dreamin which gave his brothers wicked vibes

That landed us in Egypt
Where we was workin for da man No bravery in slavery
400 years of salty tears

That's when Moses did the Nasty to that Nile-dwelling clan

Hebrews, Hebrews, no mo singin da blues
Hebrews. Hebrews, cuz we win when we lose

Now all us Hebrews are known as Jews
And we've spread over Earth
to give out the news, that there's just one God
Within us all; just bust-us with justice
And we'll heed the call.

Hebrews. Hebrews, no mo singin da blues
Hebrews, Hebrews. cuz we win when we lose Let's cruise
