about

Allow me to introduce myself.

My real name is Peter Hanna

I was born in Canada to two Egyptian parents. Although I am not Egyptian by nationality, the culture has always permeated my home, and so I still identify as Egyptian ethnically and culturally. So I guess I'm kinda lime Moses, but backward.

This is the reason for the name.

Of course, the name is also a little bit of a reference to my favourite film adaptation of the Bible of all time, Dreamworks' "Prince of Egypt."



First single off of an EP I'm working on, "Fresh Prince of Egypt."

lyrics

Why am I the Prince of Egypt?/
Because my soul was dead, the world had seized it/
Lived a slave to the grave but Christ had ceased it/
Crossed over through red, but not by a sea ship/
And now I'll bring people over through music/
Am I like Moses? Well the truth is/
I'm not the greatest speaker, fact, I'm weaker than Beaker/
God's not my puppet master but He's the greatest teacher/
Play it through speakers to all of my seekers/
So follow this leader in my worn down sneakers/
Swallow the feeder in hollowed-out freezers/
You know it's hot and ready like eating Little Caesers/
I spit God's wrath and I spit God's love/
You know the Passover lamb is God's only Son/
The holy Son, only one consoling us in roaring floods/
Saved by grace through the perfect One's flowing blood/
So when I cross over I'll bring the cross over/
Daily I carry the cross on my shoulder/
I spit the word but I'm not a placeholder/
Absurd to the church how many turn their face over/
The venom for felons is bleeding you whole/
So look to the pole for healing for your soul/
Don't sleep on these bars like a night in prison/
Cuz I'm here to tell you that Christ is risen/
If your life is missin' some spice or glisten/
If your heart is torn apart like it's nuclear fission/
God will clear your view like it's high definition/
He'll heal your condition, He's the greatest physician/
I know I'm redundant but life's more abundant/
I wanna change your mind if you're more reluctant/
If you're snagged by a plague then turn to God/
He'll split your sea like Moses' rod/
He made a way to chase your sins away/
In the bottom of the ocean is where they'll stay/
I'm a brown clown from around town/
But my crown's down at the King's feet/
Ain't it sweet? Hear my heart, don't miss a beat/
If you're a worn down soul like the bottom of my cleats/
Refreshing Living Water that's cleansing prison squatters/
Adopted all these orphans as sons and daughters/
What's his name again?/
Who is he?... x2
I'm the Prince of Egypt, and it's no secret/
If you're sea sick, don't seek this, I speak this through deep crypts/
I'll pierce you with fierce new words, empty three clips/
Open you ears, heart, & mind when you seek Him/
