Luyện nghe bài hát The Voice & The Pen

-P. Barrett-M.

When was in Egypt's land
Suffering, suffering,
Oppressed so they could not stand
The more things change a the more they the same
Suffering, suffering,
And God said, go down
Way in Egypt's tend
We say pharaoh but you them name

Tell old pharaoh, this is just a lyrical
Let my go
Big up all South African freedom

Because a me philosophy, would a kill me
Look how me right and yet wrong me
And if have the power
Then me know woulda hang me
But that nah me from talk reality

'Cause I be the voice, I will be the pen
I will be the Moses weh back again
And if it cost me me wealth, cost me me
I will wear the X behind my name

'Cause big speech mouth sweet big a make
And all now mi no see weh poor a get
A pure blood and tears and heap of sweat
And that cause sufferation and a heap of death
How could you be sifting there, me that you care
Promise people things and by the Bible you swear
Now is the time to make you
because the right time
An you a go on you dumb or them cut out you tongue
Me haffi even if you brand me
You look how me and yet you want wrong me
And if them the power
me know them woulda hang me
But that nah stop me from talk
I be the voice, I will be the pen
I will be the Moses weh come again
And if it cost me me wealth, cost me me
I will the next X behind my name

Go Moses
Way down in land
old pharaoh
Let my go
go do it, by any means necessary

Equality and free from prejudice
love from above, a that we fi practice
It kind of hard but we optimistic
Help the children of Israel, out of Egypt
This task is

But we haffi use any means

time we a hush a full time we speak up
'Cause is a must

A put me life on the line for things me in
Knowing the truth cause but me know a no sin
Confident in the victory over will win
So people smile and the crying
Them try to destroy prophet that Massa God send
But God is so good that him send again
With diplomatic and strategic trend
Come fi help Daniel out of the lion den
A me philosophy, them woulda

A put the captive in front of the Almighty God
An him say, Son run, you cannot be coward
Moses was because him have a rod
Now we use a chapter a day run the away method

Go down
Way in Egypt's land
old pharaoh
Let my go
Because a me philosophy, them would a me
Look how me right and yet wrong me
And if have the power
Then me know them hang me
But that nah stop me from reality

This is a to all pharaoh
All leader, all the downpressor
Them have the whole under severe pressure
And them don't love people, them love more power
But your days are numbered, Massa God nah
And if you we through the red sea
then you get defeat
You have for the coward, and you frighten the weak
But a God we the word and we must have to speak

Go down
Way down in Egypt's
Tell old
Let my go
Warning, warning,
Tell you this morning, I this evening
Take
Let my go, my people go
