Modern Day
Modern day slaves
By another name
Modern day slavery
Got our brothers chained
Modern day lynching
To our utter shame
On social media
We all watching brothers hang
They repost from out west to east coast
The tragic murder of another Negro
By killer cops or they own people
They weren't able to see the wolf in sheep clothes
We be like money ain't a thing, but we broke
His commandments and so we erode
Decompose, a byword and reproach
From Abba Yah we faraway, remote
We forgot our history, like this isn't me
That happened many years ago, just let a nigga be
We are free to go to school in dem community
We are free
This is the land of opportunity
Even though taskmaster treat us brutally
Overseer terrorize us with impunity
Only Yah can save us from our own stupidity
Willie Lynch syndrome
We have no unity
Modern day slaves
By another name
Modern day slavery
Got our brothers chained
Modern day lynching
To our utter shame
On social media
We all watching brothers hang
Modern day slaves
By another name
Modern day slavery
Got our brothers chained
Modern day lynching
To our utter shame
On social media
We all watching brothers hang
We still making bricks without straw
They still label us as outlaws
Cast a stone, if you without flaw
Our stiff neck has been our downfall
Instead of plantations it's penitentiaries
Dem brainwash the youth since elementary
No blackface instead they buck break
To break the Black race
And ship us Upstate, we in a rat race
Our youth with sad face
The truth we must face
We can't hit backspace
Israel has sinned, we exiled
Scattered amongst Gentiles
Dem put us in cages, then smile
I mean, imprison our mental
Feed us scraps, pollute our temple
All because they fear our potential, what
Modern day slaves
By another name
Modern day slavery
Got our brothers chained
Modern day lynching
To our utter shame
On social media
We all watching brothers hang
Modern day slaves
By another name
Modern day slavery
Got our brothers chained
Modern day lynching
To our utter shame
On social media
We all watching brothers hang
By another name
Modern day slavery
Got our brothers chained
Modern day lynching
To our utter shame
On social media
We all watching brothers hang
