Ma neeshtana ha lyla hazeh Why do we eat matza instead of leavened bread? Ma neeshtana ha lyla hazeh Mi Chol Halelot On all other nights we eat yeast But tonight we have matzah at the feast Running out of Egypt from the Babylon Beast Hoping that the miracles and wonders never cease Moses was the leader you could call him the chief We started on the exodus cause we had to leave But going to the desert wasn't much of a relief The bread was on our backs while we walked through the reef Red Sea Reed Sea remember it for eternity Livin free Yisraelim Micha mocha baelim adonai most high pillar of fire close by Recollecting of trekking and wreckin in the Sinai This very second have perspective free your minds eye Look at your inner slave master and say byebye Lhitraot fool bouncing to the new school OJG Jewish Gangster original Ma neeshtana ha lyla hazeh Why do eat bitter herbs not other veggies? Ma neeshtana ha lyla hazeh Mi Chol Halelot On all other nights we eat any vegetable But tonight we eat maror at the festival It makes my eyes water and makes my nostril swell The mystery of these rituals is ineffable I guess the ten plagues caused quite an uproar Thank God we put the lamb's blood on the door And then we cut out of town while they all snored But then we didn't know what to do at the Sea Shore Moses was freaking out, he talked to Miriam We were so tired and I know we had delirium And then a vision had arisen and appeared to him picked up his staff and we saw the division then We were so bitter at that moment broken hearted But when the water subsided and the sea parted We knew the life of the Hebrew had just started Hashem has got our back and that's why we're all guarded Ma neesthana ha lyla hazeh Why do we drink our tears with the parslay? Ma neeshtana ha lyla hazeh Mi Chol Halelot On all other nights we don't even dip But tonight we dip twice so don't trip The Israelites were slaves in Egypt How many building blocks did we lift Sweat and tears blends into saltwater We lost the firstborn sons and the daughters So many of my people in the casket Moshe the prophet was saved by the basket Well our storyis just so dang sad Many years of fear have been had From the tribe of Levi to the tribe of Gad They kill Jews as though loving G-d is bad Why they hate us, I don't understand I guess it's all a part in the heart of God's plan If there wasn't evil what we stand up against violence raise up your hand Ma neeshtana ha lyle hazeh Why do we all kick back in such a major way? Ma neeshtana ha lyla hazeh Mi Chol Halelot On all other nights we sit straight But tonight we lay back with our full weight I can remember the dilemma to the very date 5765 since we left the narrow gate We had to bounce listen as I tell the pharoah late We had to drop 10 plagues cause you player hate he had to let us go to walk right through the straight we all deserve to reflect and commemorate It's time to relax and kick back and recline Grab up a pillow so you will not hurt your spine There was an order when we crossed the border crossed the line And sang praises so it resonates in our mind 600000 crossing to the wilderness It's more famous than the epic of Gilgamesh My Jewish people your free will is still the best But You need to lay down stay down and take a rest
