Az - Runaway Slave lyrics

[AZ:] 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 motherf**er stare and look I done seen them lynched grandpopz In my sleep hear them shackles when they slam lock f** 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 n***as fear me house n***as 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 n***a with his a** 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 n***a But now I'm a n***a 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?
