Purim 2021,
It seems the world don’t want no fun
It seems the world is upside down
The world we held has come undone
Trying to find, look far and wide, I find you hide your locked inside
Like Esthers times our prayers rise, we lift our eyes, you’re in disguise.
All the streets are locked up
All the planes are forced down
All that goes now must stop
Even Simchas aren’t sound.
It seems, the streams, we screen, on screens , the safest scene, to be seen.
We mask our face, you mask your ways, we ask each day, why it’s been
Upside down it’s all upside down
Upside down but we could turn it all around
Upside down it’s all inside out
I have no doubt you could turn it all about
Chorus
Megillah let me hear ya we are banging
Our worries on the tree left hanging
Mordechai and me still standing
Because we have this understanding
Venhufoch hu hu Ashe hishletuhu asher hishletuhu hayehu hu hu
Venhafoch hu hu hakadosh Baruch hu hu will leave it up to yo hu you know what to do hu hu
Rap
Tzedaka I give in their boxes
I leave on their porch shlach manos
I’m all in the mitzvah giving it
All that I have so it’s lofty
They’re asking like what kinda costume
From where is it how much it cost you
I got the Hava in my cup
I’m never drunk I drink it properly
Stopping the traffic like cop cars
Sit at the table with my boys
Big kavanas on the wine
Shem havaya on my mind
Take hand sing a song
GDs on me like his throne
He Gona wipe away my wrongs
Here Megillah get involved
2020 was a mess
Moving now onto the next
No regrets progress
Moving forward we are blessed
Now in 2021
We gonna step on Haman
Any like him over come
Make a seuda when we’re done
Chorus
Megillah let me hear ya we are banging
Our worries on the tree left hanging
Mordechai and me still standing
Because we have this understanding
Venhufoch hu hu Ashe hishletuhu asher hishletuhu hayehu hu hu
Venhafoch hu hu hakadosh Baruch hu hu will leave it up to yo hu you know what to do hu hu
