**Rabbi's got a quick hand
He'll look around the globe, he won't tell you his plan
He's got a toddler's phallus, hanging out his mouth he's a synagogue kid
Yeah found a six day old son
In his Father's tunnel hidden oh on a mattress of soiled things, I don't even know what
But he's coming for you, yeah he's coming for you

All the other yids with the fucked up tricks
You'd better run, better run, out run my ethno-weapon
All the other yids with the fucked up tricks
You'd better run, better run, faster than my two million dollar lab
All the other yids with the fucked up tricks
You'd better run, better run, out run my ethno-weapon
All the other yids with the fucked up tricks
You'd better run, better run, faster than my two million dollar lab

Goyim works a long day
He be coming home late, he's coming home late
And he's bringing jews a surprise
'Cause the final solution's in the lab and it's rotated in a centrifuge
I've waited for a long time
Yeah the slight of my hand is now a quick pull trigger
I reason with my micropipette
And say your schizophrenic genes are on fire, you must have lost your wits, yeah

All the other yids with the fucked up tricks
You'd better run, better run, out run my ethno-weapon
All the other yids with the fucked up tricks
You'd better run, better run, faster than my two million dollar lab
All the other yids with the fucked up tricks
You'd better run, better run, out run my ethno-weapon
All the other yids with the fucked up tricks
You'd better run, better run, faster than my two million dollar lab**

I'm just asking a question guys we can't even talk about scripture?

Turn the other cheek is a proverb. It's not literal, but people love twisting that verse.

What it really means, is that if someone will condemn you for one thing, let them condemn you for the entirety of it.

And what's your cope for giving your tunic as well as your cloak? And walking two miles even if forced to walk only one?

Taking proverbs literally is an actual sign of low IQ.

It's not a proverb. A proverb is a story meant to communicate a lesson. This is from the Sermon on the Mount and is a set of direct commands, not a story.

>Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
What interpretation do you have of this that doesn't mean meekly assisting your attackers?

Muslim here
In classical Arabic, which is close to Aramaic, many expressions that would translate to "turning to the side", "looking sideways" or "giving one's side/flank" are meant to convey coldness. It's like turning away from someone and not looking at them, which symbolizes a general attitude of animosity but not quite open hostility.
I am not saying this from a position of authority, I'm just giving my personal perspective on this, but it always made more sense to me that the message meant to teach the hebrews under Roman occupation not to smile to oppressors, figuratively speaking.

This would be consistent with a less hippie image of Christ (peace be upon him), and more of a monotheist encouraging rebellion against idolaters.
Walking the extra mile seems like it follows a similar principle: because Romans would sometimes use legalities to show the occupied that they could effortlessly ruin their day, walking the extra mile could be a way of re-raising and flexing that even 2 miles wouldn't be a problem. It seems to me like a way of defending against demoralization from oppressors. So if a Roman wants to take only a shirt from you, give him everything as if acquiring it again wouldn't even register as an effort.

>The Lord Shall Provide.
my frens, this is a difficult thing to explain. When you truly walk with God, he protects you, he provides for you, he will move mountains and divide the waters for you. A man who does not walk with God cannot understand this. A man who does not walk with God can experience this, but may misinterpret God's actions as merely miraculous, coincidence, or a stroke of luck. When you truly understand, you know that no matter what he is with you as you are with him. A poor man taking your coat does not know God as you do, but God just the same uses you to provide for him while still retaining judgement for the actions of that man. For you who gave the man your coat, if be all you want is the coat returned, then returned it shall be tenfold. If a man who does not walk with God strikes you, whether it be out of rage or anger or whatever, to turn the other cheek to the man shall reveal God to him. As God's children, this is our purpose. As God revealed himself to his children through Exodus, he revealed himself to the world by the death of his son. Some things you cannot always see, but certainly just the same, some things can never be unseen. 
It's not if you know, you know, rather once you know, you know. Now for those who do know and still hate him, they may stand against you, but only because they stand against him. If you walk with him, he will always protect you.
Turn the other cheek, all bare witness his glory.
Jesus is Lord, and he is Risen.

Turn the other cheek, not bend over and give your asshole to your enemy.
