Slave(feat. Motive) (Explicit) - Apathy
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
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
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 them talking in my head and I'm going insane
Things are so f**ked up it'll never be the same
So welcome to the future ain't you glad you came
I'm ashamed that my ancestors got so afraid of sh*t
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
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
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
You see I come from the past where I'm paid for with cash
Slave master whoop my a** if work not done fast
Now how the f**k 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
F**k the saying I'm really knee deep in sh*t 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 b******t if I try to flip
I'll probably get lynched or body ripped by a bullwhip
My peoples faced with the same sh*t for generations
So people breed their seeds off deep hatred
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
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
