Wa, ooh, wa, ooh, why
Wa, ooh, wa, ooh, why
Wa, ooh, wa, ooh, why
Wa, ooh, wa, ooh, why
Look into my history
I can recall the days of slavery
How they treat our ancestors
They treat them so bad
They let them work the plantation
Even plough the earth
They work them and work them
They work them to death
Now they wanna come play the same tricks
On us, no, oh
You ain't gonna play the same tricks
On us, no, oh
A mister wicked, backway
You are vampire, backway
Slave driver, backway
You are vampire, ah-whoy
Wa, ooh, wa, ooh, why
Wa, ooh, wa, ooh, why
Wa, ooh, wa, ooh, why
Wa, ooh, wa, ooh, why
I feel like right
I feel like right, wo, oh
Backway
You are vampire, backway
Backway
Backway
Look into my history
I can recall the days of slavery
How they treat our ancestors
They treat them so bad
They let them work the plantation
Even plough the earth
They work them and work them
They work them to death
Now they wanna come play the same tricks
On us, no, oh
You ain't gonna play the same tricks
On us, no, oh
Slave master, backway
Slave driver, backway
You are vampire, backway
Slave driver, ah-whoy
Ah-whoy, ah-whoy, ah-whoy
Wa, ooh, wa, ooh, why
Wa, ooh, wa, ooh, why
Wa, ooh, wa, ooh, why
Wa, ooh, wa, ooh, why
I feel like right
I feel like right, backway
Slave driver
Slave master, backway
When I look into my history
I can recall the days of slavery
How they treat our ancestors
They treat them so bad
They let them work the plantation
Even plough the earth
They work them and work them
They work them so bad
They wanna come play the same tricks
On us
You ain't gonna play the same tricks
On us, no, oh
Backway
You are vampire, backway
You are slave driver, backway
Vampire, backway
