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
