Biography

Early life

Matisyahu was born Matthew Paul Miller on June 30, 1979, in West Chester, Pennsylvania. His family eventually settled in White Plains in Westchester County, New York. He was brought up a Reconstructionist Jew, and attended Hebrew school at Bet Am Shalom, a synagogue in White Plains. He spent much of his childhood barely learning the tenets of Judaism, but by the time he was a teenager, Matisyahu began to rebel against his lack of upbringing. He started taking drugs and dropped out of White Plains Senior High School. He became a self-professed "Phish-head," taking hallucinogens and following the rock band Phish on tour.

    Struggla

    by: Matisyahu

    Open up the gate
    Let my prayer rise up
    And I struggle every day
    just to get myself up
    For the force of gravity that
    keeps sinking my ship
    Time again one is bound to slip
    We rip through these days
    We flip through the age
    Survive stay alive we
    won't trip in the haze
    Lost in the maze
    I know it's just a phase
    But I dread it dread it dread it
    I won't let my life go to waste
    I'm a struggla
    Rise and never fall cause I
    been through it all
    So ask yourself and think twice
    Would you want to live your life
    Oh we pay the cost
    The pain and all the loss
    Sell the youth them dreams of ease and fame
    Will be a breeze when you got a big name
    Cash fast fast cars to
    escape all of the pain
    Escape your brain and so it stays the same
    We would not lay down
    We won't live in vain
    We won't be drained
    And I got to maintain
    I won't let my life go to waste
    I'm a struggla
    Rise and never fall cause I
    been through it all
    So ask yourself and think twice
    Would you want to live your life
    Oh we pay the cost
    The pain and all the loss
    There's something wrong with the system
    That leaves it's people victim
    Keep on slipping can't seem to catch up
    Try to rise at night but my
    legs they stay stuck
    There's something wrong in the system
    That leaves it's children victim
    I won't let my life go to waste
    I'm a struggla
    Rise and never fall cause I
    been through it all
    So ask yourself and think twice
    Would you want to live your life
    Oh we pay the cost
    The pain and all the loss
    Oh we pay the cost
    The pain and all the loss
    Rise and never fall cause I
    been through it all
    So ask yourself and think twice
    Would you want to live your life
    Oh we pay the cost
    The pain and all the loss
    Open up the gates let my prayer rise up
    Oh we pay the cost
