Heavy hitter stepping solid never quitter jump into the ocean before it split got a jump into it 
    Am 
Rip through Egypt rip through it, 
    Em 
Get into it, 
 Am                           Em 
600, 000 witnessed it, no you didn't forget no you didn't forget 


Interlude: Am Em Am Em 


       Am 
In the spiritual desert things are not what they seem 
       Em 
Snakes camouflaged just fit the scene
