Friends with me | Roee Lavan
In this god forsaken land
There’s always a beef
There's a survival instinct
Followed with some grief
Your neighbors grass
Seems greener than yours
An awfully sad conflict
Filled with blame and remorse
We were born in this land
But raised differently
I'm a real friend
I hope you're friends with me.
What came first?
The chicken or the egg?
To whom this land was promised?
I really don't have to beg
For you to listen to me
Who cares what's his real name
Cause like buddy says
Underneath we’re all the same.
We were born in this land
But raised differently
I'm a real friend
I hope that you're friends with me.
Hebrew, Arab, Aramaic?
Same language different name
Moses, Moshe or Nabi Musa
Different language, same old name.
Doesn't matter what'cha wearin'
Doesn't matter what's his name
Like Buddy Guy says
Underneath we’re all the same.

Always Been / Roee Lavan
Hang on for just one second
Baby, here what I gotta say
I know that I was wrong
It crossed my path today
Are you blowing me off?
Don’t you let me disappear
Can you reconsider, baby?
My words are falling on dead ears
I already took prescription pills
I admit I’m not OK
I know that I’m a mess
it always been this way
No sugar in my coffee
No alcohol No meat
To much CBD, THC
not 1 damn thing to eat
I will mop it off, I will water plants
I will slice and dice and cook
Allow me to share this heavy load
Get rid of this sad look
Don’t let me get down on my knees
Don’t wanna beg don’t wanna pray
I know that I’m a mess
it always been this way

Reason to wake up

Reason to wake up | Roee Lavan
I got a reason to wake up
at the crack of dawn
I’m gonna put up a fight
just before I’m dead and gone
There’s a surprising inner strength
a reason to survive
and my wife and little kids
Helping me out to stay alive
( Old folks they don’t realise
What exactly does it mean
To stay here another week
a hole month, 1 more year )
Every time I left alone by myself
it’s hard yes indeed
And when a friend came by
Felt again like I am still a kid
Without you darling what I would do
Bend down on my knees
Lord help me please
‘cause without you baby
Can’t set my mind at ease
maybe I’m mistaken but I feel
When I’m 6 feet under
that God almighty
Will open up the gates way yonder
I got a reason to wake up
at the crack of dawn
I’m gonna put up a fight
just before I’m dead and gone

Tumor in my brain | Roee Lavan
There’s something in my brain
There’s something in my brain
it is getting worse
Things don't feel the same.
"Dear Mr. Roee
I’m pleased to meet
Got some news for ya
Just grab a seat
We found something
It looks like a cyst
In an operation
We'll take care of it
A lickety-split
We're gonna pull it out
Send it to our labs
And find out what it's all about".
Tumor in my brain
Tumor in my brain
Just 5 centimeters
I nearly went insane.
4 days and 4 nights
Same room, same bed
Same medication
Runnin' through my head
Waiting for the operation
with a worried mind
My dearest one
Is with me all the time
My woman is exhausted
It's as hard as it gets
Read a book to me
About Arthur Dent
He's being rescued
By an alien
Named Ford perfect
With a towel in his hand.
There he comes
Anastasia man
Blue eyed Angel
With a marker in his hand
Started writing notes on me
And began to sing
"just lay your head now
And dontcha worry 'bout a thing"
Never again
Tumor in my brain
They took it out
Please, never again.
