Who

Who knows but the sacrificial lamb
Who knows but the suffera
Who knows but the sacrificial lamb

Leviticus
23:19 - Then ye shall sacrifice
one kid of the goats for a sin offering,
and two lambs of the first year for a
sacrifice of peace offerings.
Revelation 5:6 -
And I beheld, and, lo, in
the midst of the throne and of the four
beasts, and in the midst of the elders,
stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having
seven horns and seven eyes, which are the
seven Spirits of God sent forth into all
the earth.

Chorus
They left their home
Running for religious freedom
In mid evil times y'all
They came to my hometown
On the Mayflower
We showed them love much love and Inity
They showed us dis-eases and
Guns and weapons thereof -aye
Shootin' and lootin', rapin' and takin'
And their god above
Oh what an evil time y'all
They sold my brothers into slavery
Millions died in the translatlantic voyage
Oh what a story
We were put below in coffin
Stolen legacy
Mutiny or jump in the mouth of the sea
Black voices still cry free
And we still be rumblin' to be free
Oh - just to be, From King to Coon
Nigger to Negro
Blackman to Afro-American
African to AlKebuland
Now to be called Minority
|
|
Oh what a
result of 400 years of Captivity
In this crazy place

Chorus
Everywhere you go
The lesson of his-story is the same
Shootin' and lootin', genocide and feudin'
Rapin' and takin'
Who to chant Babylon
Who going to chant down Babylon
|

Let me people
Go
|

Aaron
went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the
LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that
they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.
