Shai Linne - Pa**over lyrics

Listen to me, baby girl, I know that you're upset Come over here to Daddy, baby, let me wipe your eyes What I'm about to tell you, Rachel, you must not forget So listen very closely and I'll give you a surprise Your daddy and your uncles have been busy making bricks And they don't pay us anything- just blood, sweat and tears If you came to where I work, you'd see the pyramids Our people have been building those for 400 years Remember when I introduced you to Mr. Aaron? The one who pinched your cheeks and said you had a nice dress Well him and Mr. Moses have been talking to the Pharaoh Because the God of Abraham is gonna give His people rest Some crazy things been happening the last couple of weeks You didn't even notice because we're living in Goshen The smell of d**h is everywhere in Egypt and it wreaks Cause Yahweh is angry and He's causing a commotion First, He spoke to Mr. Moses from the burning bush Commanded him to tell the Pharaoh "Let His people go!" So that it would be said from Egypt all the way to Cush That Yahweh is God because everybody would know Then he went before the Pharaoh and all of His servants Knowing that the Lord was gonna harden Pharaoh's heart When Mr. Aaron threw his staff, it turned into a serpent But Pharaoh had magicians and they used their secret arts Their staffs turned to snakes too, but Mr. Aaron's ate them Because they don't know that our God is the One who caused the flood But Pharaoh wouldn't let us in the wilderness to praise Him So Plague 1: Yahweh turned the Nile into blood The fish died, the river stank, no water for Egyptians But Pharaoh's heart was so hard, he didn't even pause The miracle was somehow copied by Pharaoh's magicians So the second time around, Yahweh hit 'em with the frogs When Pharaoh still was hard-hearted, Yahweh brought the gnats This was Plague number 3- but now something was different As hard as the magicians tried, they couldn't copy that They told him, "This was God"- Pharaoh still wouldn't listen Plague number 4 was the swarm of the flies Plague number 5- all the livestock died Plague 6- sores terrorized Plague number 7- fiery hail fell from the skies You still with me Rachel? I need you to focus I have something for you- soon I'll reveal it Continuing- Plague number 8 was the locusts And Plague 9- it got so dark that you could feel it You would think that Pharaoh had a little common sense But after all of that, honey, he still hasn't budged But when this night is over, he will be fully convinced Because Yahweh's gonna show Himself to be the perfect Judge You know how you do bad things and then you get a beating? It's like that with God- He punishes our wrongs He can't just look the other way because that would mean He's cheating But unbelievably, He's been patient for so long But now time is running out and so is God's pity He's the universal Ruler many don't want to cherish So tonight He's gonna send the Destroyer through the city And the first-born son in every house is gonna perish Look over there, honey- see the blood on our door? When God notices that, He's gonna pa** by By faith, we're believing in the Word of the Lord That whoever isn't covered by the blood's gonna die So now, back to Fluffy: It doesn't seem nice But part of God's plan was to substitute another An innocent victim, Fluffy paid the price Because if it isn't Fluffy, it's gonna be your brother Scene 2 We rushed into the house so we could finish up our dinner "Rachel, honey, eat your food as fast as you can!" The bread was unleavened and the herbs- they were bitter Belt tight, sandals on, with my staff in my hand "Joseph and Rachel, it's almost time to go to sleep Mommy's gonna wash you up and I'll tell you a story While Daddy's cleaning up, I don't want to hear a peep Matter of fact, I don't want you to have to wait for me" We put the kids to bed, I knew the time it was dawning I looked at the table and that's when it hit me Moses said, "Let nothing remain until the morning" We had leftovers and we had to burn them quickly I started grabbing meat and throwing it on the fire All over my face, there were drops of perspire I cried out for mercy as it came down to the wire The Destroyer was here! Time had expired!
