The Eyes of Slavery
Slave
My dark face, threw me into darkness
She pays a sum, our measured worth
Never satisfied, I must work until she's works me through.
The pain in my hands never goes away
My name taken, family taken, my life taken
never to be mine
an “I” for insolence, for trying to take it back
A fire burns my face, but not as strong as the one inside me
I must work my way, fight my way
to brake from these chains
People fighting to be free
they only see half a picture, the half they want to see
Master
Their world, my world
seperated by a deep line
Dividing filth from clean
Ill pay enough, they must work
Never done right, the fool, the worthless piece of trash
Pain will only teach whats good for her
Ill take what is rightfully mine
an “I” for insolence, that's what she is
She thinks she strong, but she is nothing
The more she fights, the tighter the chains
No such dog should ever be free
she thinks she sees a picture, but her eyes are blind to reality
