exodus - young gravy lyrics

[hook – sample]
exodus
movement of the people

[verse 1]
exodus, my people moving
every other week see another shooting
i ain’t tryna be the last one here
don’t try to get in my way, i recommend you steer clear
we’ve seen it before, don’t want to see it again
got all the evidence we need for us to see how it ends
you got the nerve to question why we need our homeland
we get swastikas drawn everytime we own land
let me take you back when we were feeling ecstatic
after wwii and defeating the axis
you believed that it was over never again would it happen
but that wasn’t the case for my friends from damascus
it was just gettin started
a new era of hardship had us feeling disheartened
not allowed to leave kept down and boxed in
it seemed for us to flee was the only option

[hook – sample]
exodus
movement of the people (x3)
send us another brother moses
from across the sea

[verse 2]
we need an exodus
betrayed by those who lived next to us
ignoring the historic definition what a trope is
i think of dual loyalties, i think of brother moses
brother of the pharaoh, but knew to stand up for
his people, not caring ‘bout the slavemaster’s uproar
the feeble, will never prosper, through oppression
2,000 years maintaining our connection
and it can’t be broken
they’ve tried to drown it out, but we split that ocean
keeping our culture, you really can’t erase it
if there’s anything we’re good at it’s surviving through the hatred
and we can’t be shaken
how you gon shut down a startup nation
they think unless we’re victims that a jew doesn’t look right
brown first in the air, im what a jew looks like

[hook – sample]
exodus
movement of the people
leaving babylon
we’re going to our fathers’ land

[verse 3]
left babylon in the 50s, soviet union in 9-0
but we’re still gonna have the same problems until the day that we arrive home
we’ve been wandering the desert now for thousands of years
too many coffins built too much time counting our tears
living with fear but never will i hide
from pittsburgh to poway am yisrael chai
leaving babylon
leaving babylon
all the while we’ve been in exile
but our hearts haven’t gone
anywhere beyond the single place where they need to
returning to zion movement of the people
peaceful dreams praying that they’ll come true
but ready to fight if that’s what it’ll come to
