Craigie Dodds - Slaves lyrics

[Hook 1: Why Why Peaches] We could sit around and talk for days About all the things that we would change But we never thought we never thought That we were the slaves [Verse 1: Kano] Ah, Runaway runaway underground deep Release me from these shackles around feet Old masters they don't own me Treat artists like sheep But they don't know me Rap star rap star, have you any tunes? Yes sir yes sir, three disks full One for the radio and one for the states And one for my people who live down the lane Can't fool me born free M.I.A But k** us over time, Ali Boombaye Puppets on a string, insignificant As people we've come a long way But it ain't that different Money makes the world go round Dead Presidents Something like a spoon full of sugar to the medicine Necessary evil, slave to the sterling They run the world that we all just work in [Hook 2: Why Why Peaches] We could sit around and talk for days About all the things that we would change But we never thought we never thought That we were the slaves We could sit around and talk for days About all the things that we would change But we never thought we never thought That we were the slaves [Verse 2: Kano] Look, pawns in the game We don't make the checkmate Front line of defense Thats the modern day slave Used for consumerism so we get pad And give it straight back the boomerang play Win-win for them Come on folk lose-lose Programmed like robots Do what we're told too The whole worlds singing The same same song but changes ain't making them Bracelets blinging Gold chains swinging Face tattooed up Lil Wayne tear dripping Still in prison in this world we live in So wade in the water children No master Escapism through music with no capture Except the moment because I'll be on a Prince Protest Before I become a slave bro I'll be the artist formerly known as Kano [Verse 3: Why Why Peaches] After listening to the preacher It seems that all they ever teach us Is how to fear and fear it all Till you fall [Hook 3: Why Why Peaches] We could sit around and talk for days About all the things that we would change But we never thought we never thought That we were the slaves We could sit around and talk for days About all the things that we would change But we never thought we never thought That we were the slaves
