Confidence
Collie Buddz/Matisyahu Lyrics

Three shots upon the sky
I'm reminded of my three sons by the three shots

Three bluebirds flying by
I connect the three bluebirds with my three sons

Three sons remind me why / I ended up in Crown Heights
My sons are the reason I live in Crown Heights

Where's my confidence?
I'm lacking in confidence

You know you want it all
You want to have confidence in every aspect of your life

Believe in yourself
Trust in yourself and your abilities

Even after the fall
Even when things don't go as planned

I wish I knew that one / A long time ago
I wish I had known the importance of having confidence earlier in life

Now when I walk in the street / Got that hop in my step
I walk with confidence and energy

Chest out head back / Yeah you know what I rep
I'm proud of my identity and where I come from

Strut like a Rasta / Though I'm being chased by death
I walk with a cool and collected demeanor despite the danger I face

I'll be gone 'til whenever / Like the song by Wyclef
I'll continue to persevere despite the obstacles and difficult situations

Listening to music / Always gave me vision
Music has always inspired me and given me clarity

So when you see me on the street / I'll be walkin' to the rhythm
I'm always moving to the beat and feeling the music

Focus in my face / That's the way I'm straight livin'
I have a focused and dedicated mindset in how I live my life

Champion heart / From the start of the beginning
I have a strong and resilient heart from the beginning of my journey

I've been lookin' for the palace / A crown and a throne
I aspire for great success and achievement

Click-clack / Around Krakow / Typing on my phone
I'm always on the move and busy with my work

Tackling my demons / But you know that by now
I'm always working to overcome my personal struggles

Chassidic reggae superstar / Tell you all how
I'm proud of my unique identity and style

Got it on the inside / I don't need to wear it out
I don't feel the need to show off my beliefs or confidence to others

Can't say I'm not religious / I just let go of the doubt
I have faith and belief in the divine, but I don't let doubt consume me

And right about now / Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey
At this moment in time

I like old things / Things that go slow / Antiques and such / So what ya know?
I appreciate and value the beauty of old and slow-paced things

I'm an old soul / That's the way I like to go
I have an old-fashioned approach in my preferences and lifestyle

Thankful for the bumps / I like to feel the road
I'm grateful for the challenges I face and the experiences I gain

How can I defend / Against snakes and scorpions?
How can I protect myself from harmful and deceitful people?

Trying to be your friends / Then they cut you in the end
People who pretend to be your friends can betray you in the end

Feel the sleep moving / Collapse and give in then I start again
I feel the exhaustion and difficulty in my journey, but I persevere and begin anew

I need some confidence / How can I walk tall
I require more self-assurance to stand strong

With the critic in my head? / Won't rest till I feel small
I won't feel at rest until I silence my inner critic

Take a piece of herb and break it up / Roll it up, take a shot to the head top
I indulge in smoking marijuana to alleviate stress and negative thoughts

Hit nice, Hit nice / Me a wine wit the gal dem / Everyting nice, ting nice
I'm enjoying myself with the company of women while under the influence

Everybody have vibes and me no wan hear no gun shot / Hear vibes, good vibes
I prefer to hear positive vibes and music instead of violence or negative influences

Over some foolishness, some people, dem a come shot / So people are rich yo / Some people dem a hit yo / Some people a go tru life and not care about nobody else / A little bit yo
People can resort to violence and aggression over petty reasons or disagreements. Some people acquire wealth through negative means, while others simply don't care about anyone else

Yi have the confidence to keep strong / Have the confidence to hol on / No more pestilence in our residence / The Lord Testament from All em'
We must have confidence to remain resilient and strong, and to hold on during difficult situations. We don't want negativity to consume our lives and want the Lord's guidance to help us through.

It's not the easy road but we have to live it
Life can be challenging, but we must persevere and continue on

Anything in life / Put in all of your heart, your mind, and your soul / Remember the greatest gift is love
We should invest ourselves wholeheartedly in whatever we do, and to remember that love is the most important aspect of life
