New Slaves
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My momma was raised in an era when
Clean water was only served to the fairer skin
Doing clothes you would have thought I had help
But they wasn't satisfied unless I picked the cotton myself
You see it's broke nigga racism
That's that "don't touch anything in the store"
And this rich nigga racism
That's that "come here, please buy more"
What you want, a bentley? Aur coat? a diamond chain?
All you blacks want all the same things
Used to only be niggas now everybody playing
Spending everything on alexander wang
New slaves
You see it's leaders and there's followers
But I'd rather be a dick than a swallower
I throw these maybach keys, I wear my heart on the sleeve
I know that we the new slaves, I see the blood on the leaves
I see the blood on the leaves, I see the blood on the leaves
I know that we the new slaves, I see the blood on the leaves
They throwing hate at me, want me to stay at ease
Fuck you and your corporation, y'all niggas can't control me
I know that we the new slaves, I know that we the new slaves
I'm 'bout to wild the fuck out, I'm going bobby boucher
I know that pussy ain't free, you niggas pussy, ain't me
Y'all throwing contracts at me, you know that niggas don't read
Throw 'em some maybach keys, fuck it, c'est la vie
I know that we the new slaves, y'all niggas can't fuck with me
Y'all niggas can't fuck with ye, y'all niggas can't fuck with ye
I'll move my family out the country, so you can't see where I stay
So go and grab the reporters, so I can smash their recorders
See they'll confuse us with some bullshit like the new world order
Meanwhile the dea, teamed up with the cca
They tryna lock niggas up, they tryna make new slaves
See that's that private owned prison, get your piece today
They prolly all in the hamptons, bragging 'bout their maid
Fuck you and your hampton house, I'll fuck your hampton spouse
Came on her hampton blouse and in her hampton mouth
Y'all 'bout to turn shit up, I'm 'bout to tear shit down
I'm 'bout to air shit out, now what the fuck they gon' say now?
I won't end this high, not this time again
So long, so long, so long
You cannot survive
And I'm not dying
And I can't lose
I can't lose
No, I can't lose
Cause I can't leave it to you
So let's get too high, get too high again
Too high again
Too high
