Prince - Slave 2 The System lyrics

(Slave) (repeat in song) Slave, yeah (x2) Slave 2 the system here before I was born Slave 2 the master, workin' me till I'm worn The only penthouse I can count on's a big black ball and chain Slave 2 the system, the future's all arranged Oh, U better fetch that water, boy (x2) Slave 2 the system Thompson's my last name, but my daddy's name is Lloyd The farther back I trace it, the more it becomes null and void All my life I've struggled just 2 be called a boy Slave 2 the system, oh what a joy Oh, U better fetch that water, boy Hell if I do! (Oh, U better fetch that water, boy) Oh, I'm just a slave 2 the system Here before I was born Slave 2 the master, workin' me till I'm worn Slave 2 the system
