Tech N9ne - Slave lyrics
[Intro: Tech N9ne] Fight the pain, inside the rain A rebel know, to let the devil go So now to get paid, about to be working like a slave [Verse 1: Krizz Kaliko] I'm kinda good, kinda bad, kinda get money can't be mad I'm kinda broke but I'm kinda rich Wishing I had a corner I could put a b**h in They ain't gonna do nothing Ain't like I'm suffering Food for my baby's mouth Then I bought a house for my baby mother and What's wrong? I try, don't matter, still die I'm strong, but I'm not When I'm alone, I cry Out for you, it's hard to do I can't see you so doubt for you When out my mouth I sprout the noose Too much vodka and mountain dew Explainin' what I be meanin' If you listen fast you think I was a Heathen But the last Sunday receivin' the preacher from the pastor Ain't even believin' the ba*tard But no Hades, god's baby God made me, a little crazy And I'm off, I'm gone My life is my songs What I mean when I sing, still on a wing and a prayer But if I listen to what is written in the scriptures maybe it will get me there Share with the people I swear it is an evil scam that might be in vain But if I say I I'm the genius then like jesus everybody gonna know my name (KALI) [Chorus] I've been working like a slave oh, lord And I get tired along this lonesome journey I done struggled on this road, I've been wrong I know, I know that there's no peace in my shelter There's going to be no peace in my shelter [Verse 2: Kutt Callhoun] [OHH LORD LORD LORD] I need reparations due to devastation from the state of present situations And it's not easy to walk a narrow path in my jeans It's hard when your family wondering when your going to make another Stop leaving, stop breathing for a minute cuz it's all artificial when the laws trying to get you When them haters right behind em and you wanna shove a double barrel sawed off in your dental What can I do to stop a big catastrophe When n***as after me and b**hes after me Wanna have my baby, listen n***as lady Trials and tribulations tackle me My mama think I made it, she feeling elated Proud of her only son born My kids think I'm the greatest I cannot display this Smile feelin like a funyon (Salty and all) you'll be (locked in a stall) trying (lost in the cause) truly, no denying Ain't nobody gonna do it for me For the moment let it drive me insane Solicitation of a prostitute Cuz you a ho when you're playing this game But it's okay, I am gonna to ride till I triumph Cause everybody once upon a time was a slave This is Callhoun [Chorus] I've been working like a slave oh, lord And I get tired along this lonesome journey I done struggled on this road, I've been wrong, I know I know there's no peace in my shelter [Verse 3: Tech N9ne] I work, I play, and I drink booze every day tryin to muffle the blues Imma say used in a way Fools run astray Allah, God, Jesus, Jah somebody please help me Mama got a problem with diabetes it don't seem healthy Everything depends on ninna fame hittin dantez sr Got a n***a thinkin some of the fans I'm makin would they wanna do me like Selina Devil laughin like a hijena Losin all the good in my demeanor I don't wanna go psycho But choke the flow you know I got ta go and charlie sheen yaa Tryina stay good with the old lady My mind made it go crazy no time for my poor babies So don't let a motherf**er play me When I say FU pay me Even though I'm gettin' money you could still see I'm hungry like I'm in Haiti What am I to do?
