Slave
(Tech intro)Fight the pain, Inside the rain.
A rebel No!, to let the devil go.
So now to get paid, Bout' to be workin like a slave.
(Kaliko)
I'm kind a good, kinda bad.
Kinda getting money can't be mad.
I'm kinda broke, but I'm kinda rich.
Wishin' I had a corner I could put a b***h in.
Ain't gonn(a) do nothin', ain't like I'm sufferin'.
Food for my baby mouth and 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, is hard to do. I can't see you, so doubt for you.
And out my mouth I sprout the noose, too much Vodka, and Mountain Dew.
Blasphemin' ain't what I be meanin'. If you listen fast
You'd think I was a heathen, but the last Sunday receivin'
The preachin' from the pastor, and I Ain't even believin'
The b*****d. But no Hatties', God's baby, God made me, a lil crazy.
When I'm off, I'm gone, my life, is my songs. It's what I mean? When I sing,
"still on a wing and a prayer."
But if I listen to what was written in the scripture maybe it'll get me
In vain. But if I say I'm the genius, and like Jesus, everybody gonna know
My name.
-Kali.
[Chorus:]:
I've been working like a slave, oh Lordy.
And I get tired a'long this lonesome journey.
I done stumbled on the road, I've been wrong I know.
I know that there's no peace, in my shelter.
(Calhoun)
Oh, Lord, Lord, Lord.
I need reparations due to devastations from the state of present
Situations.
And it's not easy to walk a narrow path and mock hard when you're family
Wonderin' when you're gonna make enough to stop leavin. Stop breathin for a
Minute cause it's all, artificial when them laws, tryna get you.
When them haters right behind em, wanna shove a double barrel sawed off, in
Your dental. What can I do to stop a big catastrophe when ****s after me
And b*****s after me. Wanna have my baby, missin nagga's lately, trials and
Tribulations tackle me. My momma think I made it, she feelin' elated; proud
Of her only son born. My kids think I'm the greatest, I can not display a
Smile, feelin like a funion, Salty and all.
(You'll be...)
Locked in a stall
(... Tryin'.)
Lost in the cause
(Truly...
... No denyin'.)
Ain't nobody gonna do it for me, for the M. O., don't let it drive me insane.
Solicitation of a prostitute cause you're a ho' when you're playin this
Game.
But it's ok I am go() ride till I triumph. Cause everybody once upon a
Time was a slave. This is
-Calhoun.
[Chorus:]
(Tech)
I work. I Play. And I drink booze every day.
Tryin ta muffle the blues Imma say, used in the way, fools run astray.
Alla, God, Jesus, Jah somebody please help me.
Momma got a problem with diabetes it don't seem healthy.
Everything depends on N9na.
Fame hitten Dantez's senior.
Gotta ***a thinkin some of the fans I'm maken it will they wanna do me
Like Selena.
Devil laughing like a hyena.
Losin all the good in my demeanor.
I don't wanna go psycho but yo the flow ya know I gotta go an Charlie sheen
Ya'.
Tryina stay good with the old lady. My mind made her go crazy.
No time for my poor babies. So don't let a mother f****r play me.
When I say fu pay me. Even though I'm getting money, you can still see
I'm hungry like I'm in Haiti.
What am I to do?
What am I to you?
Butt alott I'm cool.
But I'm not amused?
Can't you see? I'm stressed, not free. From y'all, I'm sick.
My body's hot.
If ' this pressure, don't let up, this will
Prolly stop for
