Slick Rick – Moses lyrics

Album: Ruler's Back

I try to block it out my mind

As you see [at] Ruler show's is inquirinnoses
Goininto a story about a kid named Moses
Once a prophet was to be born, so for anything else furthered
Pharaoh orders every first-born son murdered
One got away, a girl with profit bound with her
Gently put him in a basket, went floatindown the river
Then ends up by a Pharaoh relative olhoney peeped in
Couldn't breed herself and was determined to keep him
"Don't say a word she told her slave who was a real witch
"Snitch, it'll definitely be the last day you breathe bitchWhile kids
slaughtered, 'cause they was front of them
Soldiers tellinthe king that they murdered every one of them
"Thankssaid Pharoah, guys were a friend to him
Sister showinher baby sayinthe River God sent him
To her brother who arose and said, "whoa sis'Curious I suppose is the upward
knows about Moses

As time passes, prove he wasn't the type to beg or borrow
Grew to conquer lands like ain't no tomorrow
Made the Sun King jealous 'cause he couldn't do what Modid
"Pops I'm not to happy the way y'all jockinthis Mokid"Son, this rash behavior
ruins every feast or bash"And why complain, now where's the temple I asked you
to build, you piece of trash?"Two of you switch. Moyou build it and you'll
find a supreme hero"Built it, anything else, you need Pharaoh?"King here's
startinto shares my crownOne said, "How can he?But sister not takinany
chance and threw the hooker off the balcony
But word still got to King, who then cold cursed Blessed
Stripped him of his honors and dumped him in the desert
But Moreturned for the people, with his chest stiff out sore
King said, "You want war? Make brick without strawThat's a son not being king,
the shorty no good rose his
Unhappy I suppose this, the upward knows about Moses

The new King said, "As for your threats, brother stuff it"Boy, what do I do now?
prayed to prophet
Then a vision said "chilland prophecy filled
Scorn build, hail's the fire, all their first-born killed
It was gettingscary for the king, this made the sufferingo by merrier
"You win, take these peasants, get the flock out of my areaPoor villain, still
in heat, didn't want Moto fulfill 'em
Wasn't chillin then I flat sent the troop to go and kill him
So Moparts the sea, went across and said "runand
Did some ol' abracadabra and water fell upon 'em
The soldiers that is, since Moses was suaver
Then Moin the mountains havina convo with the father
Came back with the tens, seen pantyhose droppin partner swappinFolks wasn't
into what poMo was poppinSo the Earth shook and killed those, bible text
closes
Talked about a time when idle worshippinfoes had met Moses
