When was in Egypt's land Suffering, suffering, Oppressed so hard they not stand The more things change a the more remain the same Suffering, suffering, And God said, go Moses Way down in Egypt's We say pharaoh but you know them
Tell old pharaoh, is just a lyrical game Let my go Big up all South African fighters
Because a me philosophy, would a kill me Look how me and yet them wrong me And if them the power Then me them woulda hang me But that nah stop me from talk
'Cause I be the voice, I will be the pen I will be the weh come back again And if it me me wealth, cost me me fame I will wear the X behind my name
'Cause big speech mouth sweet big a make And all now mi no see weh people a get A pure blood and tears and whole of sweat And that cause sufferation and a whole of death How could you be sifting there, telling me you care Promise people good and by the Bible you swear Now is the time to you speech because the time come An you a go on like you dumb or them cut out you Me haffi even if you brand me You how me right and yet you want wrong me And if have the power Then me them woulda hang me But that nah stop me from talk I will be the voice, I be the pen I will be the weh come back again And if it me me wealth, cost me me fame I will wear the next X my name
Go down Way down in land Tell old Let my go Gwann go do it, by any necessary

A put me life on the for things me believe in Knowing the truth cause offense but me a no sin Confident in the victory over evil win So people smile and stop the Them try to every prophet that Massa God send But God is so good that him send more With diplomatic attitude and trend Come fi help another out of the lion den A me philosophy, them kill
A put the captive in front of the Almighty God An him say, Son run, you cannot be coward Moses was protected him have a rod Now we use a a day run the devil away method
Go Moses Way down in Egypt's old pharaoh Let my go Because a me philosophy, would a kill me Look how me right and yet wrong me And if them have the Then me know them hang me But that nah stop me talk 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 only love more But days are numbered, Massa God nah sleep And if you follow we 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 old pharaoh Let my go Warning, warning, Tell you this morning, I tell this Take Let my people go, my go
