From the biblical days of Abraham, through the Hebrew enslavement in Egypt, until modern times…
Isaac & Ishmael were brothers, today their sons are strangers and often enemies.
They tried to mark us, segrateate and spark us
Finally surround us like hyenas on a carcass
From 5000 years of trials and tribulations
From the fall of Joseph to the first sign of oppression
Exodus That carried us for 40 days and nights
Deadly wars of conflict, the bleeding canaanites
The holy text, the hebrew dialect
Before the casualties, atrocities of Amalek
They can never hit the target but I know they kept on firing
Never took us out, yeah I know they’re still aspiring
Like Solomon's mind, we are always reaching higher
And Samson broke them down with the strength of Leviathan
In face of enemies we always stood with defiance
Wrestled with lions, took down the giants
In any confrontation we fought for the highest
Stones for Goliath, slings for the riots
Why we got the blame when the Romans crucified?
Why we got the pain when the Germans brutalized?
Why we get the shame? I still don't understand
Why brother killing brother over territory and land
Over territory and land - There’s a war going on outside, no man is safe from...
Over territory and land - They don't care who you are, they don't care where you came from
Earth mothers there were four, three fathers - no more
To save the world in pairs, Noah rowed his ark ashore
With his own sweat and blood, escaped the god inflicted flood
Send the dove to seek land, when everything’s covered with mud
Wars we survive, and Geneses starts with a live graphic of Armageddon
What happened to the 12 tribes?
Judah, Gad and Simon, Reuben, Dan and Ephraim
Naphtali, Levi, Zebulun, Isachar, Asher, Benjamin
It all became true, prince of egypt was a hebrew
Asking “let my people go”, and the King wouldn’t come through
Families mourned when g-d came down and slayed their first born
To lead them to the promised land - the red sea had to be torn
40 years of mission, hot day, cold night, affliction
400 years being slaves to the egyptians
2 plates without a sequel, One g-d without an equal
Moses came from sinai and gave the message to the people
A dozen tribes then, commandments, we had 10
Biblical pages, g-d laws we still don't understand
Isaac and Ishmael - brothers who were born to the same man
Their sons are killing each other over territory and land
Over territory and land - There’s a war going on outside, no man is safe from...
Over territory and land - They don't care who you are, they don't care where you came from
