Get on Down There Moses

Jah! He say!
Get on down there Moses
Get yo'self on down there to Egyptian land
And tell old pharoah. Let him know!
Yah come to take Jah people
Back into the promised land


Long time ago, bout four hundred plus years
We left Canaanan Land by a trail of tears
Yokes round our necks, they were so hard to bear
Think you got some mercy comin? Huh! Mastah? He don't care


Now, if you think that a Houdini was amazin tah see?
Then, what' cha think about my brother - partin a sea?
And that's just how the brotha ended the show
Check out how he slid in with his intro...


For starters, it was plaques of locusts, frogs, then flies
Why Moe was witnessed to make fiery hell rain from the skies
Old Pharaoh hardened his heart, just wouldn't comply
So, with no aids, Moe caused all of Egypt's first-born to die


It's in the blood! In the blood! The blood; don't you see?
Made that old death angel to pass over me
And you too niggah! Yeah! You!
And, if not for DNA, we'd of never heard the news


Ole Pharaoh, he got filled with such woe
He was like "All you niggas get out! Just go!"
So, we hurried up and took him up on his invitation to split
But, on our way out, we skied up with all of his shit


Ole Pharaoh was pissed as he could be
Guess he figured freedom was enough for four-hundred years free
Ended up with a sea full of his dead
Why, even today, I hear that sea is still red

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
