Kanye West - New Slaves--Annotation Project lyrics

My momma was raised in the 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 n***a racism That's that "Don't touch anything in the store" And this rich n***a racism That's that "Come in, please buy more What you want, a Bentley? Fur coat? A diamond chain? All you blacks want all the same things" Used to only be n***as now everybody playing Spending everything on Alexander Wang New Slaves You see there's leaders and there's followers But I'd rather be a dick than a swallower You see there'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 f** you and your corporation Y'all n***as can't control me I know that we the new slaves I know that we the new slaves I'm 'bout to wild the f** out I'm going Bobby Boucher I know that p**y ain't free You n***as p**y, ain't me Y'all throwing contracts at me You know that n***as can't read Throw 'em some Maybach keys f** it, c'est la vie I know that we the new slaves Y'all n***as can't f** with me Y'all n***as can't f** with Ye Y'all n***as can't f** 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 bullsh** Like the New World Order Meanwhile the DEA Teamed up with the CCA They tryna lock n***as up They tryna make new slaves See that's that privately owned prisons Get your piece today They prolly all in the Hamptons Braggin' 'bout what they made f** you and your Hampton house I'll f** your Hampton spouse Came on her Hampton blouse And in her Hampton mouth Y'all 'bout to turn sh** up I'm 'bout to tear sh** down I'm 'bout to air sh** out Now what the f** they gon' say now?
