Slow Down Moses Songtext
von Common Market

Freedom, yeah
Freedom song, for my people – right here
We belong, keep on keepin' on now
Beat your drum, do your step and
Hold your head, hold your head, hold your head


Yeah, let's throw down baby, c'mon
I ain't tryin' to talk now
'Cause whenever we're talkin' you talk down
It's possible there's not a proper answer to “what's wrong?”
So what's wrong with me wanting to cut through the customs?
Of course the circumstances were tough on
My family, but we've got a love strong, and never for a
Second did I ever feel neglected or sloughed on
It's just that I question where I come from
And how I ended up here, my friends have
Got good intentions backed by funny ideas
Play along, sport – accept a favor with grace
A cup of Ceylon before this sailor's gone and laid to waste
And in case you ever come to find yourself at sea
It may help to know I sat in this seat comfortably
What I did was done for you, a song I sung for you
A little something to comfort you, as soon as the summer's through

Freedom song, for my people who've been
Treated wrong, knowin' nothing ever
Feels as string, (I feel it, I feel it) as that voice
Inside your head (hold steady, hold steady now), in your head (hold steady, hold steady now), in your head (hold steady, hold steady now)

I still ain't ready to talk yet
And you keep watchin' the clock tick
As if another minute gonna do what so many didn't
This wall's rock solid and you are not demolishin' it
Several sessions left a dent in it
Then I employed the finer points of fence mending
I done spoke of the 'vironment I've been in and it
Should be no surprise I'm a bit defensive – you not the
First sent to pry and coax words outta Ryan's throat
Herbs in a tie and coat, co-coercion – enterprise broken
Silence like it's thin ice, nope – thanks for tryin', though
Only those who are livin' it get it
Spin in concentrical circles of friends, dig it?
Did it for my SOS folk, step your step, yo
And hold your head


Freedom, yeah
Freedom song, for my people – right here
We belong, keep on keepin' on now
Beat your drum, do your step and
Hold your head, hold your head, hold your head, yeah, yeah
