Moses (/ˈmoʊzɪz, -zɪs/;Hebrew: מֹשֶׁה, Modern Moshe Tiberian Mōšéh ISO 259-3 Moše; Syriac: ܡܘܫܐ Moushe; Arabic: موسى Mūsā; Greek: Mωϋσῆς Mōÿsēs in both the Septuagint and the New Testament) is a prophet in Abrahamic religions. According to the Hebrew Bible, he was a former Egyptian prince who later in life became a religious leader and lawgiver, to whom the authorship of the Torah is traditionally attributed. The historical consensus is that Moses is not an historical figure. Also called Moshe Rabbenu in Hebrew (מֹשֶׁה רַבֵּנוּ, lit. "Moses our Teacher"), he is the most important prophet in Judaism. He is also an important prophet in Christianity, Islam, Baha'ism as well as a number of other faiths.
According to the Book of Exodus, Moses was born in a time when his people, the Israelites, an enslaved minority, were increasing in numbers and the Egyptian Pharaoh was worried that they might ally with Egypt's enemies. Moses' Hebrew mother, Jochebed, secretly hid him when the Pharaoh ordered all newborn Hebrew boys to be killed in order to reduce the population of the Israelites. Through the Pharaoh's daughter (identified as Queen Bithia in the Midrash), the child was adopted as a foundling from the Nile river and grew up with the Egyptian royal family. After killing an Egyptian slavemaster (because the slavemaster was smiting a Hebrew), Moses fled across the Red Sea to Midian, where he encountered the God of Israel speaking to him from within a "burning bush which was not consumed by the fire" on Mount Horeb (which he regarded as the Mountain of God).
Teedra Moses (born December 17, 1976) is an American R&B and soul singer-songwriter.
Moses was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, to a gospel singing mother, Shirley Moses. She later moved to California with her mother and three siblings after her parents' separation. Moses brought a little bit of that fervour to her own vocal style when she began singing professionally. The final song on her debut album, "I Think of You (Shirley's Song)", is dedicated to her late mother.
In 1996 she gave birth to twin sons, Taj and Ras, with rapper Ras Kass.
Moses was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. Her childhood has been a direct influence on her musical style, her Mother was a gospel singer and Moses was raised on gospel, jazz, zydeco and blues. Moses recalls wanting to listen to the music that was then being played on the radio, but her Mother made Moses listen to gospel. She later moved to California with her mother and three siblings after her parents' separation. The final song on her debut album, "I Think of You (Shirley's Song)", is dedicated to her late mother.

"Take Me"
(Chrous)
Take me
Back to that day when you made me fall
I want to go, I want to go
Make me feel
Like you did the very first time we ever touched
I want to go, let's just go
(Verse 1)
[Teedra]
Winter's here
And I ain't about it
I just wanna lay with you
In the late nights getting warm
We find, less and less time to get together
But that there's whatever
See, tonight is for you and I
Yeah, we gotta take it back tonight
I want to go, I want to go (Ooo)
Make me feel
Like you did the very first time we ever touched (So won't you take me)
I want to go, let's just go (Ooo)
(Verse 2)
{Raphael}
The place love used to be
Is still a part of me
And I'm so fortunate lady
That you still need a piece of me
And I know that you're waiting
See I'm only downtown
You know I roll alone girl
I'm never with a crowd
(Chrous)
Take me
Back to that day when you made me fall
I want to go, I want to go
Make me feel
Like you did the very first time we ever touched
I want to go, let's just go
(B-sec)
[Teedra] & {Raphael}
And I know I can get crazy
Say things I do not mean
But in all of my frustration
I'm just tryna make you see
I'm still here for you (I'm still here for you)
My love won't let it die (I won't let it die)
I know it's been a while baby but
I need you to take me there tonight
(Bridge)
