Hebrew Blues
By sis Juda of Judia Songs

Isn’t it enough that you took our names
Destroyed us enough when we were enslaved
Is there enough of us that you have slain
Did you degrade us enough as you held our chains

Isn’t it enough that were doing as taught
In cycles of self hate that never seem to stop
Isn’t it enough that we’ve done your will
Our feet are unchained but our minds are still

And at that time our harps were hung
Upon the willows for a song
A Zion song, a bitter tune
A million cries in somber hues
Hebrew Blues

Isn’t it enough that you used our gifts
Stole all that you could and our inheritance
Suppressed our learning but gave a few token gifts
Is it enough, no it’s never enough

For you flooded your drugs in our neighborhoods
You created the crime
Then waged a war on it
Locked som an of us up you had your slaves again

But you don’t feel any remorse or shame
Like monopoly of Yah’s people is just a board game
Oh yea, we’re starting to know just who we are
And we know Yeshua’s day ain’t that far

But until that day our haprs be hung
Upon the willows for a song
A Zion song a bitter tune
A million cries in somber hues
Hebrew blues

Did you burn and kill us enough when you tore Rosewood down
Did you kill us enough when you bombed Tulsa’s Black Wall street town
Where so many of us died you burned us in a mass heap
Makes your war on terror such a mockery

Did enough of us die at the Colfax massacre
Where angry men took there revenge at the county court hues there
Where we got the right to vote (for some) an accursed land
Though only counted as three fifths of a man
And the thousands murdered from Bear River to Wounded Knee
More pain than can be song more tears than we can weep
Do you think that the Most High is blind
I tell you it’s just a matter of times times and half a time

But before that time
Our harps be hung
Upon the willows for a song
A Zion song a bitter tune
A million cries in somber hues
Hebrew blues
What is done in secrete will be brought to the light
And all that you have hidden will condemn you
Even in the night
Do you think that the Most High is blind
I tell you it’s just a matter of times time and half a time

For GOD is not mocked and you will reap as you have sown
For the Trevon’s you shot and lynched and those in rivers you have thrown

You know there’s only one way to bypass hell
You’d have to repent for that crop to fail

Though Ham stole us and Japheth sold us and Esau smote us
There is one question remains
Will we take hold of what Yah has shown us
Will we seek his face
For when Yah’s people who are call by His name
Humble themselves wake up repent and pray
He’ gonna reach down with His mighty hand
He’s gon do what He wants to do in this land

And on that day, He’ll change my song
And Hebrew Blues will be undone
He’ll wipe away my salty tears
And give me joy for bitter years
And my Hebrew blues
