Egyptian Mythology Song
By Mr. Nicky
To the Tune of “Despacito (Remix)”
by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee, ft. Justin Bieber
Backing tracks property of Karaoke Version/Tency Music.
When I’m mummified, I’ll live forever
My heart will weigh lighter than a feather, yeah
They’ll drain my brain out then they’ll put my organs in canopic jars
They’ll leave food for my Ka to eat
and my Ba’s personality
must recognize my body that’s why they’ll embalm me, embalm me
Osiris will accept my soul down in Duat
Because I obeyed the cosmic order of Ma’at
I honored the Great Pesedjet
So I’ll avoid a second death
Do it or Ammit will eat your lead heart
Shu is the air god, Tefnut is the moisture goddess
Nut and Geb are sky and earth their kids are
Nebet Hut, Seth, Osiris, Isis and Horus the Elder
O yeah, Ra
He’s our sun and light
He’s our creator god
He controls the seasons and he grows our crops
His eye is a goddess and his tears made humans
Seth, Ra, Nit, Sobek, Horus the Younger, Elder, Hathor
Imhotep, Bastet, Geb, Tefnut, Shu, Nut, Anubis, Osiris,
Sekmet, Khnum, Nebet Hut, Isis, Thoth
Sekmet’s lethal
Taking all her vengeance out upon the people
Imhotep has been deified but once was real
Seth cut up Osiris, he’s a source of evil
Thankfully poor Isis put her husband back together
Before Osiris went under
She conceived Horus the Younger
(Not the Elder, he’s the Younger, baby)
He defeated Seth, now he’s our god of war and battle
The question that we have to ask now
Is Seth an aardvark, fox or jackal?
Our gods can be portrayed as combos
of human forms and animals
If they’re like snakes they’re scoundrels
If they have horns they’re powerful
Many gods are similar to others like Atum
He's like Ptah or Amun-Ra in the New Kingdom
Yes over time our gods would absorb into one another
Many villages had myths that seemed to conflict with each other
Is Hathor the wife of Ra, his daughter or his mommy?
Or is his mom Nit? She’ll knit me my mummy
I see a funerary boat
bringing me to see Thoth
He is writing down
All the deeds of deceased souls
Magic spells can take you
down to see his face, he’s got
a baboon or an ibis bird for a cabeza (head)
I see a funerary boat
bringing me to see Thoth
he is writing down
All the deeds of deceased souls
Get some amulets and
a Book of the Dead then
You will have some underworld journey protection, oh yeah
Seth, Ra, Nit, Sobek, Horus the Younger, Elder, Hathor
Imhotep, Bastet, Geb, Tefnut, Shu, Nut, Anubis, Osiris,
Sekmet, Khnum, Nebet Hut, Isis, Thoth
Cats are sacred
Bastet is their patron and mummification
Is handled by Anubis he uses natron
Sobek is a crocodile but Seth’s more dangerous
Thankfully poor Isis put her husband back together
Before Osiris went under
She conceived Horus the Younger
(Not the Elder, he’s the Younger, baby)
He defeated Seth, now he’s our god of war and battle
He is incarnated as our Pharaoh
But the kid is Greek to me now
Death’s so sweet, no?
You’ll be granted entrance to The Field of Reeds
Opening up your mouth’s our last ceremony
Go take you’re grave goods with you to eternity, go! (vamanos)
I see a funerary boat
bringing me to see Thoth
he is writing down
All the deeds of deceased souls
You’ll be safe in your sarcophagus
We’ll bury you in the necropolis
I see a funerary boat
bringing me to see Thoth
he is writing down
All the deeds of deceased souls
You get a mastaba or pyramid
Thankfully you can afford it
Death’s so sweet, no?
