Apathy

Slave
[Chorus: x2] Stay strong, stay brave, cradle to the grave I be splitting like a run-away slave Since back in the days been trapped in the maze Now I'm splitting like a run-away slave [Verse 1:] I come from the future where the people ain't free Brainwaves get programmed quicker than circuitry Certainly this'll make for the perfect story My microchip a mental blip when they searching for me They'll probably shoot me in the head but won't hurt my shortie Cause that's one less person could be working for free If I go out in a blaze, is it worth the glory? Is this Heaven or Hell or just purgatory? I got a number not a name and my mother is the same No free thoughts, I'm taught to keep nothing in my brain But the people as a whole, no me, only we And it's deep within my soul so I'll never be free When I fight it they don't like it so they send a psychic To dismantle my mind and rewrite it It backfired cause they ain't as clever as me I fight to the death even though I'll never be free Cause the police police run my brain Hear em talking in my head and I'm going insane Things are so fucked up, it'll never be the same Letras de cancionesSo welcome to the future, ain't you glad you came? I'm ashamed that my ancestors got so afraid of shit They let the government wise and form a dictatorship Working to make the rich richer really make me sick Economically they got the poor on a slave ship [Chorus x2] [Verse 2:] You see I come from the past where I'm paid for with cash Slave master whoop my ass if work not done fast Now how the fuck I end up like this? From living life in my hut with my wife and my kids Now I'm stuck chained up from my legs to my wrists On a trip on a ship and the ocean getting motion sick Praying at the same place I eat and piss Fuck the saying, I'm really knee-deep in shit now I'm on a foreign land no longer considered a man My life stands and any plans the white man commands We're so damned our minds are programmed Ain't no if, buts, or I can't, or force their hand Cause of my race I'm deeply hated for living But got a lot of love when they're taking and raping our women My life crazy, it really feel like Christ hate me I stare at the white lady too long they might hang me Treated so harsh cause my skin's so dark Everything so hard, I'm protected by no laws Life full of bullshit, if I try to flip I'll probably get lynched or body ripped by a bullwhip My peoples faced with the same shit for generations So people breed their seeds off deep hatred [Chorus x2] From Letras Mania
