Slick Rick — Moses

I tried to block it out my mind [Verse 1] As you see Ruler shows his inquiring noses Going into a story about a kid named 'Moses' Once a prophet was to be born, before anything else furthered Pharoah orders every first-born son murdered One got away, a girl with prophet bound with her Gently put him in a basket, went floating down the river Then ends up by a Pharoah 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 cuz they was in 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 saying the river god sent him To her brother who arose and said, "Whoa, sis!" Curious I suppose this, the upwards knows about Moses [whistling and samples] [Slick Rick] As time passes, prove he wasn't the type to beg or borrow Grew to conquer land like ain't no tomorrow Made the Sun King jealous cuz he couldn't do what Mo' did “Pops, I’m not to happy the way y’all jocking 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 share 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 stick out saw 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 [whistling and samples] [Slick Rick] The new King said, “As for your threats, brother, stuff it" “Boy, what do I do now?” prayed the Prophet Then a vision said “CHILL" and prophecy filled Storm builds, hails of fire, all their first-borns killed It was gettin’ 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 he 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 idol worshippin’ foes had met Moses [whistling and samples]
