Slaves

[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 kill 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
