Get Low

from EL'Negro by Nathaniel Star

/

about

This song is an ode to the intersectionality of black folk and religion. The first verse is about Harriet Tubman aka known as "Moses. the second verse is about the biblical man Joshua. Moses and Joshua are forever tied together. Their stories are one.

lyrics

They say Harriet went back to get her folks
And take them back to freedom land
Not everybody came, but those that did
They say she guided them by the hand
Then she told them
If you wanna make it to freedom, you better listen to what I say
Cause everybody out here wants to get us
But we not gon let em' get us today...its
Time to get low (keep on running)
Time to get low (stay on track)
Time to get low (if you hear them coming)
Time to get low (don't look back)

I heard Joshua put on his Jordans and marched on to Jericho
But when he got there, he saw something hanging out of a window
Little lady, I know you see us walking around
Don't be scared, but when you hear that trumpet sound...its
Time to get low (cause the walls are crumbling)
Time to get low (and the building is tumbling down)
Time to get low (keep on runnin)
Time to get low (ain't no time for lookin around)
Ohh we almost outta time

Low
Bring back the harmony
Low
That's what I'm talkin about
Low
If you search your roots carefully enough
Low
You trace em' right back to the south
Now get low
