Slick Rick Lyrics
Song: Moses
Album: "Ruler's Back" by Slick Rick
Song Text:
I try to block it out my mind
As you see [at] Ruler show's is inquirin noses
Goin into 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 floatin down the river
Then ends up by a Pharaoh relative ol honey 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 bitch While kids
slaughtered, 'cause they was front of them
Soldiers tellin the king that they murdered every one of them
"Thanks said Pharoah, guys were a friend to him
Sister showin her baby sayin the 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 Mo did
"Pops I'm not to happy the way y'all jockin this Mo kid "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. Mo you build it and you'll
find a supreme hero "Built it, anything else, you need Pharaoh? "King here's
startin to shares my crown One said, "How can he? But sister not takin any
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 Mo returned for the people, with his chest stiff out sore
King said, "You want war? Make brick without straw That'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 "chill and prophecy filled
Scorn build, hail's the fire, all their first-born killed
It was getting scary for the king, this made the sufferin go by merrier
"You win, take these peasants, get the flock out of my area Poor villain, still
in heat, didn't want Mo to fulfill 'em
Wasn't chillin then I flat sent the troop to go and kill him
So Mo parts the sea, went across and said "run and
Did some ol' abracadabra and water fell upon 'em
The soldiers that is, since Moses was suaver
Then Mo in the mountains havin a convo with the father
Came back with the tens, seen pantyhose droppin partner swappin Folks wasn't
into what po Mo was poppin So the Earth shook and killed those, bible text
closes
Talked about a time when idle worshippin foes had met Moses
