Let My People Go(full lyrics)
let my people go
set my people free
let my people choose
set my people free
let my people work
let my people roam
let my people
choose
work or home
home or roam
you know the word of god
we know the word of god
hear the word of god
let my people go
set my people free
let my people choose
set my people free
our lives
our choice
our right
freedom
our lives
our choice
our right
freedom
**
let my people see
the truth shall set us free
let my people choose
to use or not to use
hydroxychloroquine
yes or no, vaccines
let my people
choose
to use or not to use
stop the abuse
you know the word of god
we know the word of god
hear the word of god
let my people see
the truth shall set us free
let my people choose
to use or not to use
our lives
our choice
our right
freedom
our lives
our choice
our right
freedom
**
let my people go
set my people free
let my people see
the truth shall set us free
let my people know the truth
let my people know and choose
work or home
home or roam
hydroxychloroquine
yes or no, vaccines
let my people go
set my people free
let my people see
the truth shall set us free
let my people know the truth
let my people know and choose
work or home
home or roam
hydroxychloroquine
yes or no, vaccines
**
you know the word of god
we know the word of god
hear the word of god
let my people go
set my people free
let my people know
let my people choose
Let My People Go.
let my people work,
let my people roam.
let us choose,
hydroxychloroquine or not.
Our lives, our choice, our rights,
freedom.
Rally chant. Freedom chant.
Political music. Freedom rap.
freedom chant, freedom chanting,
freedom music, freedom song,
political freedom chant.
out with the evil pharaohs,
in with our rights and freedoms.

STORY and DEVELOPMENT
let my people go comes from following an impulse, though the piece did not feel right at the start. I woke up with the words do right now going through my head. With a bit of time, I came to let my people go. Later that day I recorded the words - but the piece didn't really grab me. Still it grabbed me enough that I put in the effort to do a web page, and put the piece online.
There have been big developments, which include a shift in the words, a broadening of the focus, and a search for a beat background. Quite a bit of effort. Still, nothing felt right.
Then I did some recording of an idea that grabbed me. When I was , finished, I thought: hmmm, maybe this is a good time to record let my people go. So I did it. One take.
And the beat that I couldn't get to be right worked really well.
I hadn't intended to include any images of me in the piece - but as I now had a video recording, it felt right to at least try to use it. Yup. Good.
So here it is.
The big thing: I didn't know if anything would come together, but it felt like there was enough there that I kept going.
Let My People Go.
let my people work,
let my people roam.
let us choose,
hydroxychloroquine or not.
Our lives, our choice, our rights,
freedom.
Rally chant. Freedom chant.
Political music. Freedom rap.
