Matisyahu - King Without A Crown 

2024 anyone still listening ? 👏👏

It is 2023 already and I am still listening to this song from the 2000s era, I had it on my Ipod back then, I was a teenager, now I'm in my early 30s.

Existence without god is death. Like a king without his crown.

I was 14 when this song came out in in 2004. It’s May 2023 now and I’m now 33. This song still hits me hard being in my mid 30s as it did when I was a teen.

2020! Anyone still listening? 🤘

Who remembers this coming on mtv morning jams?

Here from México. I was a kid when this came out, and hell, it still gives me the chills just like back in the days. Just like people say: a really good song never gets too old.

The first time I ever heard the name Matisyahu was earlier this year when he canceled a performance at the House of Blues in Chicago because of violent anti Israeli protests. I went online to find information about him. Who is this guy? I've been listening to his music ever since because it's really good. I'm not a rap or reggae fan so the subtitles behind him in the video are helpful 😊. I'll continue to explore his music 😃.

This song just randomly popped in my head and idk why. Haven't heard it in over a decade. Glad it did 😁

All of these people commenting about Gaza, Palestine, anti-semitisim, anti israel but thats not what this song or any of his songs are trying to achieve.... we already dont have enough time in this world to fill it with thoughts of hate. Try to listen to his music and just enjoy yourself and succumb to the emotions that his music presents... and most of all just be happy :)

I remember when MTV played this constantly and I just loved it. I’ve never been particularly religious but I’ve always appreciated religious and spiritual music, and this goes so hard.

Man I remember seeing the preview of this on MTV during the commercials right before the Andy Milanokis show or before Viva La Bam back in the day when all we had to worry about was homework and girls. Such good times...I wish I could go back.

Still bumpin this

I remember all the hype behind him when this song came out. Feels good to rediscover it especially when you're going through hard times

MTV use to play this jam every morning. I watch it before heading to school. The song just came to my head today.

I listen to this song almost every day. It gives my soul peace.

" As a native of Crown Heights, that was born at Brooklyn Jewish Hospital with a Trinidadian background, swear down fam.. DIS song here, is still and straight 🔥🔥🔥" Talk done.

I live 5 mins away from pulse. Listening to this in honor of those affected. #PrayForOrlando

My dad sang heavy metal when he was younger and died at 30. For the few months before he passed he would play this every day. Took me almost 30 years and I'm barley starting to understand what it meant.

I just saw him live a few weeks ago, honestly the highlight of my year. I got so emotional when he played this song

I wish he would make songs like this again... And he looks awesome with a beard.

I GIVE THANKS TO THE MOST HIGH AND SEND POSITIVE VIBES TO ALL THAT READ THIS IN THESE STRANGE TIMES BE STRONG BROTHERS AND SISTERS BLESS (FREEDOM IS ESSENTIAL)

2024 enyone still listening my favourite songs from Israel I’m Ethiopian🇪🇹🇪🇹 jewish shoutout to you matisyahu 🫡🔥

Back in 06 had a job I hated that lasted 14 months.Played this song every damn day(on a videotape)after finishing work just to make me feel better.Thank you Matisyahu.

Shabbat Shalom to everyone everywhere.

This song saved me in my dark times. Shalohm

Jewish reggae is my thing. Always loved his flow and vibe. He hypes me up still in 2021. Gonna definitely represent in 2022 and beyond. Good music is good music.

Conscious Raps is what we needs during these times✊🏽 Songs of Love & Healing✌🏾❤

"If you're trying to stay high, you're bound to stay low" I really felt that one, the only thing you can control is your expectations.

I miss when songs like this were in the charts

Even as a man of science dig this song so many genres and that last hook is incredible

The year is 5025 anyone still listening lol?? 🤪

THE MAN JUST WANTES TO SPREAD LOVE IN the time of rap when it started to change into materialism and sad boi stuff. What a fucking legend

Don't know why this song popped into my head. Took all these years to realize how wholesome this song was.

This was the “song of the year” in my high-school yearbook in 2006

Aún en el 2024 sigo oyendo este estilo que jamás pasará de moda matisyahu un sonido adictivo 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I am a Christian and I love this magnificent song! Beautiful Musical Genius

I am not religious at all but I love this song. It is so comforting and hopeful.

I use to love this song with all my heart. Years came and go and my soul brought me here again? I love good music. This song 🔥.

The strip the layers of your soul and reveal your ego line kills me, it's fantastic.

2009, 202, 2030, 2050 it doesnt matter the year, this song will still be relevant. This is timeless. Peace 2 everyone & bless up !

I'm in no way a religious person, but these guys are amazing musicians no matter what background you are from. relax and enjoy good music :)

AMEN my brother you gave me hope LOVE

This song needs to be taught in schools I Love this song so much. One of the most dope artists Ive ever heard..

One the greatest tracks.

This song gave me a great deal of hope while struggling in the battle with drug addiction. "Trying to stay high , your bound to be low" lol that shot hit home with me .

Matisyahu... I know life had once stripped you of the appearance of who you are, and it seems you've once been stricken with a self-doubt... But, I want to thank you for making this music!! Youth has genuinely been an inspirational piece throughout my life, starting in my early adolescence! I hope my kids will find it for themselves, too, someday. It reminded me of what my heart already knew, but forgot in those suicidal moments of my youth... And yours is still one of the **only** Reggae-style music that I actually _LIKE_ listening to!!!

Can’t believe I get to see him live tonight for the first time ever soooo stoked !

All these people talking about who Matisyahu is instead of the power music he sings, I don't care for his race because he can't chose it, I don't bother with what he believes in cause he can believe in whatever he wants cause he has that as a human right.. I am here for the beautiful message he brings and you all should too

Enjoy the music people. He is a great artist with great lyrics. This has nothing to do with race or beliefs. Enjoy the music people.

I don't care what anyone says. This is when he was at his very best. This song is one of the most meaningful songs in all of reggae. Bring this back.

We need massiach now

Still amazing today.

We have a huge Hasidic population here at the Jersey shore in Lakewood, New Jersey i don't always see eye to eye with them but try to respect them. I've always loved this song and just learned today that Matisyahu is Matthew in Hebrew. I've been loving this song for years and my name is Matthew I never knew that. Crazy. This song is a banger 🔥

This song changed my life. It is moving and so brilliant. As well as spiritually meaningful. Thank you ❤️❤️

This is still one of the greatest songs ever created. 🙏 STAY BLESSED 🙏

I love you dad, get well soon. Los Angeles, CA

I pray to my G-d, the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.... May Hashem bless you Mat!

This song is STILL lit 🔥. Crosses over cultures and faiths. God is good

This song came out when I was 18-19ish. I'm 34 now, my 6 year old loves and listens to this entire album. Thank you. ❤

That BEARD tho!!!

Still as good as I remember it years ago. I never get tired of this song. Awesome! I remember when this first hit the scene.

Bro speaking the language of the gods🥶🥶🥶🔥🔥🔥🔥💀💀💀💀💀

Masterpiece. This is how the process of reaching rock bottom and then comes to an awakening. The process isn't not easy it requires the removal of ego, a good guide, and more work in one self.and when you get there through getting to know th source, then there is still challenges but you have discovered the Truth of life, and learned have to navigate it and overcome, and spread the knowledge to others. We are one. Let's please start acting as one would you? No more division, no more hatred, no more hurting others and no more hurting yourself by sabotaging your beautiful promising life. 🌿 Love you all.

This song is just as important and strong as it was back then and it brings tears to my eyes listening to it

Even after all these years, the power of this song still resonates in me. Shalom ❤

I was recently diagnosed with ptsd and I started listening to you in 2004 this song brights me up at it 2022

You feel it in your chest ❤

i am a Christian, and this song is beautiful. Thank you for this encouragement.

This song changed my life its helped me through some dark times no matter what

I was bumpin this runescape 2006 god bless this man

These songs give me strength to get through these dark dark days im in. Thank you for the wonderful messages sir!

Just introduced my teenager to Matisyahu, happy to carry this blessed music into the next generation.

This song will always bring me back to God's foundation.

good music brought me here.

I pray one day I can make music with him

2020 and I still think he's called "Modest Yahoo"

Damn....I caught this one morning getting ready for school. 04' 9th grade...been listening to him ever since....wow.

Someone recently mentioned matisyahu to me and it took me back so far

34 years and i Still fell like a King without a crown

First hearing about Matisyahu: "haha what Jewish reggae? That's crazy" Actually listens to Matisyahu: "WHAT'S THIS FEELING MY LOVE WILL RIP A HOLE IN THE CEILING"

I'm atheist but I listen to this song to feel positivity. I respect how he is worshipping his god without shame and it brings me some kind of peace. And reggae music is great in general.

2023 and I’m still listening to this song like it just dropped yesterday ❤

This song inspires me so much. It has been in my playlist for years. As a dedicated Christian, the connection I feel each time I hear it assures me of the love that the One True God has for all humanity

Lyrics: You're all that I have and you're all that I need Each and every day I pray to get to know you please I want to be close to you, yes I'm so hungry You're like water for my soul when it gets thirsty Without you there's no me You're the air that I breathe Sometimes the world is dark and I just can't see With these, demons surround all around to bring me down to negativity But I believe, yes I believe, I said I believe I'll stand on my own two feet Won't be brought down on one knee Fight with all of my might and get these demons to flee Hashem's rays fire blaze burn bright and I believe Out of darkness comes light, twilight unto the heights Crown Heights burnin' up all through till midnight Said, thank you to my God, now I finally got it right And I'll fight with all of my heart, and all a' my soul, and all a' my might What's this feeling? My love will rip a hole in the ceiling Givin' myself to you from the essence of my being Sing to my god all these songs of love and healing Want Moshiach now so it's time we start revealing What's this feeling? My love will rip a hole in the ceiling Givin' myself to you from the essence of my being Sing to my God all these songs of love and healing Want Moshiach now Strip away the layers and reveal your soul Got to give yourself up and then you become whole You're a slave to yourself and you don't even know You want to live the fast life but your brain moves slow If you're trying to stay high then you're bound to stay low You want God but you can't deflate your ego If you're already there then there's nowhere to go If you're cup's already full then its bound to overflow If you're drowning in the water's and you can't stay afloat Ask Hashem for mercy and he'll throw you a rope You're looking for help from God you say he couldn't be found Looking up to the sky and searchin' beneath the ground Like a King without his Crown Yes, you keep fallin' down You really want to live but can't get rid of your frown Tried to reach unto the heights and wound bound down on the ground Given up your pride and the you heard a sound Out of night comes day and out of day comes light Nullified to the One like sunlight in a ray, Makin' room for his love and a fire gone blaze Makin' room for his love and a fire gone blaze What's this feeling? My love will rip a hole in the ceiling Givin' myself to you from the essence of my being Sing to my God all these songs of love and healing Want Moshiach now so it's time we start revealing What's this feeling? My love will rip a hole in the ceiling Givin' myself to you from the essence of my being Sing to my God all these songs of love and healing Want Moshiach now And see, I lift up my eyes where my help come from And I seen it circling around from the mountain Thunder! You feel it in your chest You keep my mind at ease and my soul at rest You're not vexed When I look to the sky where my help come from And I've seen it circling around from the mountain Thunder! You feel it in your chest

You're all that I have and you're all that I need Each and every day I pray to get to know you please I want to be close to you, yes I'm so hungry You're like water for my soul when it gets thirsty Without you there's no me You're the air that I breathe Sometimes the world is dark and I just can't see With these, demons surround all around to bring me down to negativity But I believe, yes I believe, I said I believe I'll stand on my own two feet Won't be brought down on one knee Fight with all of my might and get these demons to flee Hashem's rays fire blaze burn bright and I believe Out of darkness comes light, twilight unto the heights Crown Heights burnin' up all through till midnight Said, thank you to my God, now I finally got it right And I'll fight with all of my heart, and all a' my soul, and all a' my might What's this feeling? My love will rip a hole in the ceiling Givin' myself to you from the essence of my being Sing to my god all these songs of love and healing Want Moshiach now so it's time we start revealing What's this feeling? My love will rip a hole in the ceiling Givin' myself to you from the essence of my being Sing to my God all these songs of love and healing Want Moshiach now Strip away the layers and reveal your soul Got to give yourself up and then you become whole You're a slave to yourself and you don't even know You want to live the fast life but your brain moves slow If you're trying to stay high then you're bound to stay low You want God but you can't deflate your ego If you're already there then there's nowhere to go If you're cup's already full then its bound to overflow If you're drowning in the water's and you can't stay afloat Ask Hashem for mercy and he'll throw you a rope You're looking for help from God you say he couldn't be found Looking up to the sky and searchin' beneath the ground Like a King without his Crown Yes, you keep fallin' down You really want to live but can't get rid of your frown Tried to reach unto the heights and wound bound down on the ground Given up your pride and the you heard a sound Out of night comes day and out of day comes light Nullified to the One like sunlight in a ray, Makin' room for his love and a fire gone blaze Makin' room for his love and a fire gone blaze What's this feeling?

Stop asking if people are still listening. True followers will forever be listening.

Smoked so many blunts and skated for so long to this....😊

i actually LOVE this song!!! ☆ water for my soul when it gets thirsty

" I look to the sky where my help come from", I just broke down crying. Thank you God. Thank you so much for carrying me through the dark.

Christians here 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️. And I was a teenager when I heard the song for the first time.

shoutout from philippines ❤ israel

This song will never die!!!! #2019 and still on replay.

From a Muslim happy Hanukkah.

I’m a catholic but I’ve always vehemently believe we can draw strength from others. I once participated in Ramadan. My Muslim friend explained to me that Ramadan isn’t supposed to be about repentance but actually feeling the immense love you have for your God and those around you. I found that to be really beautiful. Also I follow the tribal culture how everything in the natural world has purpose and soul and everything is connected to each other. Just as this song who is sung by a Hasidic Jew and this is so beautiful and spiritual you can’t help but wonder how everything is all connected with each other. We may look and act differently but really we’re from the same family the same circle. We’re all connected to one another.

I was heartbroken over some girl and after listening to this my heart is baCK MORE THAN INTACT! May YAHWEH bless you Matisyahu!

Almost feels like it's been 15 years since I first heard of matisyahu! Wow still love it

Esta canción tiene la capacidad de transformar mi estado de ánimo....su letra es una declaración de fe, de que todo va a estar bien, sólo hay que creer.

I can remember listening to this song every morning before I go to school honestly this song makes me get through my do happy and free 💆‍♂️💆‍♂️💆‍♂️💆‍♂️💯💯👌🤗🤗👏🙌
