Slave

Hear that sound

That almost pounding pow

From sun up to sun down

Men from all works of life

Are living here in chain

Now, they're known by numbers

They've been strips off their names

Oh, breaking rocks, serving my time

So, I can get out to find peace of mind

Jailer bring me water (jailer bring me water)

I can't go no longer

Uh-ah

Uh-ah-ah

In the morning I slave in the hot sun

For little or no wage

At night, I'm locked in like an animal in a cage

Men starin' at me with the gun, said I better man

Or in a hole I have to spend the reset of my time

Ayy, breaking rocks, serving my time

So, I can get out to find peace of mind

Jailer bring me water (jailer bring me water)

I can't go no longer

Uh-ah

Uh-ah

Aww, always felt like hell while I hit it

(I always felt hell, while I get it, man)

Inside these walls, the day seems to never end

In this place, there's no such thing as a friend

Sometimes, sometimes I wish I was dead

I can't get no sleep, I got wretch in my bed, ooh

Breaking rocks, serving my time (aw)

So, I can get out to find peace of mind

Jailer bring me water

Oh, I should have been a gunner

I'm just a slave, ya

I'm just a slave y'all

I'm just a slave, ya

I'm just a slave y'all

I'm just a slave, ya

I'm just a slave y'all

Uh-ah

Uh-ah-ah

Uh-ah

Uh-ah-ah

Uh-ah

Uh-ah-ah

Jailer bring me water

I can't go no longer

Jailer bring me water (breaking rocks, serving my time)

(Take a minute to find peace of mine)

Jailer bring me water (I'm breaking rocks, serving my time)

(So, I can get out to find peace of mine)

Jailer bring me water

(Always have it right there, while I hit it)

I can't go no longer

(I've had some bet, gonna get it back)
