|
Pitch black bare foot sprinting like a deer shook
|
Face like a werewolf quoting from the prayer book
|
Elders back there put
|
You know that fear make a motherfucker stare and look
|
I done seen them lynched grandpopz
|
In my sleep hear them shackles when they slam lock
|
Fuck master and his ham hots
|
Let him pick his damn crops probably get my hands chopped
|
But it's a chance worth taking
|
Freedom land will be my last location
|
Them overseers got them hound dogs chasing
|
My pounding heart racing since departing from the foundation
|
Blatant, they just whipped little Willie
|
He can't walk now they ripped his achilles
|
Why talk, field niggas fear me house
|
Niggas hear me but they still a little leery
|
Or scary, just wanna be free got a baby boy three I don't want him like me
|
Please, just let me get across know
|
His freedom's in the north just like Jesus on the cross
|
Die for our sins I die for my kins just for the sake to see slavery end
|
Can't they see we all men
|
All being hated for the color of skin
|
It's hard to translate it but my brother only ten
|
Working in the field got him working for a meal
|
I'm worshipping still so please send a sign
|
I'm just another nigga with his ass on the line
|
Fine, but you know I'm here trying
|
Trying to stay alive while everybody dying
|
Back at the plantation momma there crying
|
But I told momma dear not to care cause I'm a lion
|
No lying, I know I'm a nigga
|
But now I'm a nigga that made it to the river
|
|
[Chorus: x2]
|
I'm just a runaway slave
|
I stay running til they run me in my grave
|
Either that or they lock me in a cage
|
Throw away the key
|
Will I ever be free?
