GO DOWN
MOSES
by
Ariel Ben Israel
Who are the people dressed in black
It's them brothas that's gonna take Jerusalem back
Who are the people dressed in red
It looks like the people Moses led
Who are the people dressed in gold
It must be the Jews of Yahshua's sheepfold
Who are the people dressed in white
It might be them Hebrew-Israelites
The people given dominion over the honey and milk
A people shackled up in prisons that their own hands
built
In
a strange land, the same man who came out of Egypt
Only to go back further west in the sea's ships
A people with such a royal heritage
Who won't consider their past their future, don't
know where it is
The holy one who wrote the scriptures
The only sons for whom Deuteronomy 28 paints
pictures
The cursed and blessed, the lost and found
The worse yet best, the bought and bound
The same folds who through history shed a thousand
tears
But it's cool cause we'll rule for more than a
thousand years
People with such a legacy
Negroes, colored, and black man
They just don't describe my pedigree
African-American don't apply to me
Both lands named after white man, no if, and or
probably
A nation placed in slavery for disobeying
But the forefathers is with whom the covenants made
From cover to page, to cover again and can't be
swayed
Cause Yahweh saves, dies and raised the third day
for Israel's sake
The 12 tribes scattered abroad, bruised, battered
and scarred
Jews gathered from far, Moses gave 'em the law
The people of the holy prophets who the prophets has
warned
Who the promise regard from the adoption to the
service of Yah
My people we've been given a charge, it's all about
ya'll
Represented as 12 heavenly stars
And the nations on the earth they know just who we
are
Go down Moses, bid the children
The songs of redemption in their diction
Africa was never mentioned
I'm goin' down to the river Jordan
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
How could a people sing about a place that they'd
never know
Music of a legacy tellin' the history
Of a people prophesied to have a case of mistaken
identity
A long way from home like a motherless child
Longin' to raise my babies between the Euphrates and
Nile
Wade in the water the deep river
"Til we steal away, I ain't got long to stay, we've
been delivered
The promise of inheritance, part of the heritage
As long as we can make it out the wilderness
Where
the marriage is, Generation Exodus
No gospel pursuit, because the truth
Is
in the spirituals, the biblical proof
Who are the people dressed in black
It's them brothas that's gonna take Jerusalem back
Who are the people dressed in red
It looks like the people Moses led
Who are the people dressed in gold
It must be the Jews of Yahshua's sheepfold
Who are the people dressed in white
It might be them Hebrew-Israelites
