New slaves

[Verse 1]
My momma was raised in an era when,
Clean water was only served to the fairer skin
Doing clothes you would have thought I had help
But they wasn´t satisfied unless I picked the cotton myself.
You see its broke nigga racism
That´s that "Don´t touch anything in the store"
And there´s rich nigga racism
That´s that "Come here, please buy more"
What you want a Bentley, fur coat and diamond chain?
All you blacks want all the same things
Used to only be niggas now everybody play me
Spending everything on Alexander Wang
New Slaves
[Hook]
You see it´s leaders and there´s followers
But I´d rather be a dick than a swallower
You see it´s leaders and there´s followers
But I´d rather be a dick than a swallower
[Verse 2]
I throw these Maybach keys
I wear my heart on the sleeve
I know that we the new slaves
I see the blood on the leaves
I see the blood on the leaves
I see the blood on the leaves
I know that we the new slaves
I see the blood on the leaves
They throwing hate at me
Want me to stay at ease
Fuck you and your corporation
Y´all niggas can´t control me
I know that we the new slaves
I know that we the new slaves
I´m about to wild the fuck out
I´m going Bobby Boucher
I know that pussy ain´t free
You niggas pussy, ain´t me
Y´all throwing contracts at me
You know that niggas can´t read
Throw on some Maybach keys
Fuck it, c´est la vie
I know that we the new slaves
Y´all niggas can´t fuck with me
Y´all niggas can´t fuck with Ye
Y´all niggas can´t fuck with Ye
I´ll move my family out the country
So you can´t see where I stay
So go and grab the reporters
So I can smash their recorders
See they´ll confuse us with some bullshit like the New World Order
Meanwhile the DEA
Teamed up with the CCA
They tryna lock niggas up
They tryna make new slaves
See that´s that private owned prison
Get your piece today
They Probably all in the Hamptons
Braggin´ ´bout their maid
Fuck you and your Hampton house
I´ll fuck your Hampton spouse
Came on her Hampton blouse
And in her Hampton mouth
Y´all ´bout to turn shit up
I´m ´bout to tear shit down
I´m ´bout to air shit out
Now what the fuck they gon´ say now?
My momma was raised in an era when,
Clean water was only served to the fairer skin
Doing clothes you would have thought I had help
But they wasn´t satisfied unless I picked the cotton myself.
