When Pharaoh captured Israel's land, Let my people go Oppressed so hard they could not stand, Let my people go So go down, King Moses, put Pharaoh on notice. It's you I have chosen.The zenith has spoken Let my people go Let my people go This is a song once sung for the children of Israel Then became the battle choir, blacks living in colonial hell Bent on soldering the broken limbs of freedom So that man could rise again, and what was it couldn't now be him Freedom songs held the hopes of our nations That we converged through mental stealth to conquer segregation And that lowered station that made black men beasts of burdens Kill the casuistic truths that condoned degradation Our nations have moved on, we put away those freedom songs Now the scores we sing say scores are settled but the harmony's still off We've gone soft, the garbs of righteousness we've doffed Now the wolf is out there laughing cause the sheep have gotten lost Flowers in Pharaoh's hand, he's not letting go Grow thorns and bloom again, force him to let you go It's common knowledge, common's college, things don't get no easier Situations hotter than a case of scarlet fever We running high on lines that once made us believers We drugged out so we can't see he's a deceiver Many heads, one body, they disciples Typhon and Erchidna, the Hydra and his mistress Got away with words, children must have peace As I leave your kid in pieces, peacefully deceased Can I get a round of applause For our leaders breaking the laws and then burdening the people Deception yet it's lethal, Yeah that's equality for all We still trapped, still got the whips on our back Pharaoh still behind us but we like it from the back We will rise, watch the leaving of the Pharisees Eyes on the prize, do not follow Pharaoh blindly Flowers in Pharaoh's hand, he's not letting go Grow thorns and bloom again, force him to let you go Go down, Moses Freedom is blazing in my eyes Tell old, you are are through Ma-ma-ma-ma-Moses Give us truth, turn us loose We will rise We'll rise Flowers in Pharaoh's hand, he's not letting go Grow thorns and bloom again, force him to let you go
