Necho II (sometimes Nekau) was a king of the Twenty-sixth dynasty of Egypt (610 BC – 595 BC).
Necho II is most likely the pharaoh mentioned in several books of the Bible (see Hebrew Bible / Old Testament). The Book of Kings states that Necho met King Josiah of the Kingdom of Judah at Megiddo and killed him (2 Kings 23:29) (see Battle of Megiddo (609 BC)). The Book of Chronicles 2 Chronicles 35:20-27 gives a lengthier account and 2 Chronicles 35:20 states that when Josiah had prepared the temple, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against the Babylonians at Carchemish on the Euphrates River and that King Josiah was fatally wounded by an Egyptian archer. He was then brought back to Jerusalem to die. Necho is quoted as saying:
"What quarrel is there between you and me, O king of Judah? It is not you I am attacking at this time, but the house with which I am at war. God has told me to hurry; so stop opposing God, who is with me, or he will destroy you." (NIV)
According to the Book of Jeremiah in the summer of 605 BC Carchemish was the site of an important battle was fought by the Babylonian army of Nebuchadrezzar II and that of Pharaoh Necho II of Egypt. The aim of Necho's campaign was to contain the Westward advance of the Babylonian Empire and cut off its trade route across the Euphrates. However, the Egyptians were defeated by the unexpected attack of the Babylonians and were eventually expelled from Syria.

Let's Talk About It
The way you watching me
My feeling left when you grew another part of me
And I'm just saying what's really deep inside of me
The way I feel
I feel so real
Really I'm just tryna contemplate the night
Wrapped on my mind and holding me so tight
Climbing my emotions and it's shining bright
The questions I wont ask
I wont ask you
Would you respect me
Don't leave me home
Would you really admit that your mine alone
Would you answer things I wanna know
Oh boy I wanna know, don't lie about it (please don't like about it)
Would ja would ja would ja really lie to me (would you lie to me boy)
I feel connected this here must not stop (I feel connected)
If you can't talk about what's really gonna hold me up(oh)
Oh boy Lets talk about it (lets talk about it)
Would ja would ja would ja really lie to me (woulja really lie to me)
(Boy--verse 2)
It's like I don't want to change
If you knew it would you really still had feel the same
These three words "I love you" would you really change
Lets talk about it... let(skip)
Would you hurt me, desert me, do wrong to me,
Take for granted boy, baby don't encourage we, let's talk about the change
Ooh I got questions for you...
(I got questions for you)
Would you respect me
Don't leave me home
Would you really admit that your mine alone
Would you answer things I wanna know
Oh boy I wanna know, don't lie about it (please don't like about it)
Would ja would ja would ja really lie to me (would you lie to me boy oh)
I feel connected this here must not stop (I feel connected)
If you can't talk about what's really gonna hold me up(oh)
Oh boy Lets talk about it (lets talk about it)
Would ja would ja would ja really lie to me (woulja really lie to me)
Oh... (tttalk about it)
Would you respect me
Don't leave me home
Would you really admit that your mine alone
Would you answer things I wanna know
Oh boy I wanna know, don't lie about it (please don't like about it)
Would ja would ja would ja really lie to me (would you lie to me boy oh)
I feel connected this here must not stop (I feel connected)
If you can't talk about what's really gonna hold me up(oh)
Oh boy Lets talk about it (lets talk about it)
