Knox Brown - No Slaves lyrics

[Verse 1: Knox Brown] Calling, calling, they sit you down Meeting after meeting they churn 'em out All in my head, all in my city Numerous ways to let you down I know, I know, I know, I know, I know You can't touch a kettle, it's burning hot Always left alone and no one's ever home But only open up the door when opportunity knocks like... [Hook: Knox Brown] (Oh hey yeah) Oh we don't wanna be slaves, we don't wanna be slaves (Oh hey yeah) No, not gonna stand it, not gonna stand it (Oh hey yeah) Oh we don't wanna be slaves, we don't wanna be slaves (Oh hey yeah) No, not gonna stand it, not gonna stand it [Verse 2: Knox Brown] Oh I keep falling, falling, and falling down The meek shall rise about the ground All in my mind, all in my city Will find a million ways to drag you down I know, I know, I said I know Cause I've been told many times before Always left alone and no one's ever home But only open up the door when opportunity knocks like... [Hook: Knox Brown] (Oh hey yeah) Oh we don't wanna be slaves, we don't wanna be slaves (Oh hey yeah) No, not gonna stand it, not gonna stand it (Oh hey yeah) Oh we don't wanna be slaves, we don't wanna be slaves (Oh hey yeah) No, not gonna stand it, not gonna stand it [Verse 3: Anderson .Paak] You spent your whole life working a nine to five You put your dreams on hold for nickles and dimes Don't you remember what it was you wanted in life? Did you forget about the pennies you threw in the well wishing? Your grave shift would be over, you dying inside Oh you a slave to the rhythm, your body and mind prison Now how do you find freedom? You stuck in a bind needing A break from the mundane is something divine And we just wanna hear the misery Ain't it a shame what we do just to do to the a**embly It can be so much better than what was given to me Don't know how much more I can give 'em me Something gotta give for me to be I'm jumping off right into the sea [Outro: Knox Brown] We don't wanna be, we don't wanna be Look we don't wanna be no slaves, no, no We don't wanna be, we don't wanna be Look we don't wanna be no slaves, no, no We don't wanna be, we don't wanna be Look we don't wanna be no slaves, no
