Exodus begins with a triumphant story of a man
Chapter 2 verse 1 listen closely you'll understand the plan
Pharoah in the heat of his anger plotted to destroy
The babies from Irsrael's belly let the girls live but kill every boy
But a child named Moses was one that God chose to be
The vessel sent in to Egypt to deliver Israel
and set the captives free, ya see
God took a nobody, made him a somebody
Told Pharoah, to let my people go
Hook:
No matter what you do to me
No matter what you say to me
No matter what you think of me
Let my people go (2x's)
It's 1999 and unfortunately we still ain't free, ya see
Ya think racism is a ghost like Casper
Look what just happen down in Jasper
I ask you why the babies dyin and daddies cryin
From the eastside to the westside
To the southside, genocide
You can't hide from the fact
All the modern Pharoah's I attack
And I stack
The knowledge inside my mind
Packs heat like a 9
The power from above I find
Rise up my people, cuz it's time
Hook (4x's)
Let the band play (6x's)
The moral of the story is while you playin games trying to survive
As long as you sellin that mess doin that mess you keepin Pharoah alive
Don't hide from the matter whose pockets are really getting fatter
Some churches are quick to say Amen
But they ain't that quick to help a man
I don't understand
If that's yo brotha, love yo brotha
Know yo brotha, Show yo brotha
No matter what color
Don't hate one and love the other
My people victory is yours and Pharoah's defeated
If you don't know the book, READ IT!
Hook (2x's)
Let my people, let my people (4x's)
(Kirk adlib)
Pharoah can ya hear me
From the white house to the black house
From New York to L.A.
Let my people go
This song is dedicated to everybody whose still in bondage
By the system, by the powers of the
Break those chains of ignorance
Recognise who you are, and whose you are
And if you don't know, now you know
Can I get a witness,
I said can I get a witness
Can I get one witness
I figured
Let's get out of Egypt come on, come on
Let the band play (3x's)
