Take me far far away to a for foreign land take me from from my mother warm and love love and heat Treat me like I’m a dog Kick me around all day long Time ain’t down down and cheap Beat me like I’m a slave
I’m a slave
cause my skin skin is black in my back back is strong keep me all all the bottom there is where i’ve been long I’m good good for nothing just a dog dog gone fool make your pick pick your card you make all all the rules
All the rules
Don’t pay me no damn mind if you see see me cry these are not not real tears just a water from my eyes got no name ain’t got no voice Don’t feel no pain ain’t got no choice Ain’t no man ain’t no man I’m a slave, it’s all I am
It’s all I am
All I got all I have my sweat blood tears in breath so when I’m dead dead and gone tell my people not tomorrow take me far far away to a found foreign land when I’m dead in my grave at least I heat ain’t no slave
