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)

Free me from this ball of chain, somebody
Somebody help this slave
Free me from this ball of chain, somebody
Somebody help this slave
Free me from this ball of chain, somebody
Somebody help this slave
