We been enslaved/ 400 years straight/

And Moses swam across a lake?/

There you go again/ Talkin’ all that smack/
‘Cuz you carried the pyramids on your back/
My back/ seen plenty of whiplash/
On account of my owner’s wrath/

Bah/ Slavery/
Baby me/ Make me weak/
It’s not easy/ Having a place of your own/
Wven people come to your home and explode/

Them Palestinians?/ They got a reason to fight/
It ain’t like bein stolen in the night/

If you had guns/ It would’ve been a war/
Won’t revolution settle the score?/

How you know bout that?/

It was on youtube/

So, what are you tryin to prove?/

There’s ghetto’s in Oakland/
There’s ghetto’s in Poland/

It ain’t that bad/ You give each other a hand/

It’s not my fault you left the village in the motherland/
A culture intact is a culture complete/
That’s why we helped build the NAACP
Shalom means hello/ goodbye/ and peace

Yeah/ So does peace/

Chanukah/
Kwanzaa/
Broom jumper/
Glass stomper/
If nothing else/ We know how to run/

You can still call us the defiant ones/

At least we got a sense of humor/
Every good comedian is either Black or Jewish/
That’s why we Lookin’ to the future/

We got more reason to laugh than we used ta/

Go down Moses
way down in Egypt´s land
Tell ol´ Pharaoh,
Let my people go.

Go to Sing Sing/
Go down to Rikers Isle/
Tell the Warden/
Let my people go/

Go to Wal Mart/
Down to them offices/
Tell the manager/
Let my people go/

Unplug AOL/
