Taylor Swift + Beyonce + Ye do the yahatz!
THE YAHATZ
RICK RUBIN
Hametz & Matzo are like Ego & Source. Hametz is leavened bread. Soft, tasty, but it consists mostly of empty air after baking. Inflated air symbolizes a distortion of our self-awareness. When fermentation is prevented in baking of Matzo, we’re left with bread that’s more surrendering of itself to Source. Yet also more tuned in. It may not seemingly be as delicious as Hametz. As ‘special.’ But a self that is closer to the undifferentiated universe. Is also paradoxically closer to its differentiated self. “Specialer” and not.
Ye notices Beyoncé & TAYLOR SWIFT enter.
BEYONCÉ
Jay said some healing things were happening here.
TAYLOR SWIFT
So she brought me.
BEYONCÉ
How about us three do another remix of my song…
TAYLOR SWIFT
We got big egos
We got such big egos
But sometimes we need matzos
Just regular matzos
YE
I know you love my huge matzo
TAYLOR SWIFT
Careful, I might break your matzo
YE
Ha-ha-ha
TAYLOR SWIFT
We like to joke around a bit, but seriously though
BEYONCÉ
OK, Ye, how you doing?
You know I'ma cut right to the chase, huh
All people, were made, but some, like us
We like to think we was created
For a special purpose, ya’ know?
What's more special than us? You feel me?
TAYLOR SWIFT
Oh, he feels you.
BEYONCÉ
OK, Ye, let's talk The Yahatz
Matzo’s, our whole Self, like a baby, mostly Source
But the world, as we age, traps us, in Egypt
That’s Ego, suffering, but that’s, everyone’s trip
YE
Why?
TAYLOR SWIFT
It might, be necessary, to go through, Mitzraim
So we can, break our Egos, and return to, Source
But unlike, as a baby, an adult, in Source
Also has an Ego, so we can, be the best, instrument
YE
For G-d?
Beyoncé & Taylor Swift nod.
TAYLOR SWIFT
I forgive you for your ego
‘Cause I too have such a big ego
EVERYONE
She does too have such a big ego
BEYONCÉ
Ye, can we break this matzo?
Which symbolizes your ego?
EVERYONE
Yes, please for the love of G-d break his matzo!
Taylor & Beyoncé hand Ye the matzo.
YE
We all have such big egos
EVERYONE
But yours especially so!
Ye chooses to pick up the matzos.
YE
So maybe, when it breaks, it causes an Ego death
Like a manic, episode, or a psychotic, break
But I won’t, be Macbeth, I’ll care, for my health
In return, if you can, sometimes give me, a break
EVERYONE
We all have Egos
Not just musicians
We all could be more like Matzos
Modest, humble, unspecial Matzos
Ye is about to smash the matzos into smithereens…
