Slave Mill |
| What you won’t and what you will |
| Working for your dollar bill |
| Sad to see the old slave mill |
| Is grinding slow, but grinding still |
| Walking home, a youth gets killed |
| Police free to shoot at will |
| Sad to see the old slave mill |
| Is grinding slow, but grinding still |
| Nine to five, you know the drill |
| Weekends are a short-lived thrill |
| Sad to see the old slave mill |
| Is grinding slow, but grinding still |
| Cup runneth over till it spill |
| Take until they’ve had their fill |
| Sad to see the old slave mill |
| Is grinding slow, but grinding still |
| Some of us think we’re too big |
| Cah the system, gives us jobs |
| Even though it’s just a low paying gig |
| Some of us will boast and brag |
| And those of us who think we’re small |
| Just because we don’t have much |
| That’s really not the case at all |
| There’s riches that the flesh can’t touch |
| Some of us won’t respect names |
| Some of us won’t respect loves |
| Some of us don’t respect life |
| Even though we worship God |
| And some of us won’t let go faith |
| No matter what the price may cost |
| Some of us won’t practice hate |
| Becah we still believe in love |
| What you won’t and what you will |
| Working for a dollar bill |
| Sad to see the old slave mill |
| Is grinding slow, but grinding still |
| Walking home, a child gets killed |
| Neighbours free to shoot at will |
| Hurts to see the old slave mill |
| Is grinding slow, but grinding still |
| Nine to five, we know the drill |
| Weekends are such a short-lived thrill |
| Sad to see the old slave mill |
| Is grinding slow, but grinding still |
| Cup runneth over till it spill |
| Take until they’ve had their fill |
| Sad to see the old slave mill |
| Is grinding slow, but grinding still |
| Most of us think we’re too good |
| Just because material gain |
| If we were living as we should |
| Then less of us would be in pain |
| Those who are misunderstood |
| Still deserve a voice to claim |
| The things that are still meaningful |
| To each and all of us the same |
| And some will say the cups half-full |
| And give Jah thanks for what we’ve gained |
| And some will say there’s much more weight to pull |
| And them will tell you that straight up and plain |
| And some will think outside the box |
| While some of us will hold our lanes |
| And some of us rewrite the facts |
| While some of us a chop down cane |
| What men won’t and what they will |
| Working for a dollar bill |
| Sad to see the old slave mill |
| Is grinding slow, but grinding still |
| Walking home, a child gets killed |
| Police free to shoot at will |
| Hurts to see the old slave mill |
| Is grinding slow, but grinding still |
| Nine to five you know the drill |
| Weekends are a short-lived thrill |
| Sad to see the old slave mill |
| Is grinding slow, but grinding still |
| Cup runneth over till it spill |
| Take until they’ve had their fill |
| Sad to see the old slave mill |
| Is grinding slow, but grinding still |
| Is grinding slow, but grinding still |
| Is grinding slow, but grinding still |
| Is grinding slow, but grinding still |
| Is grinding slow, but grinding still |
| Is grinding slow, but grinding still |
| Is grinding slow, but grinding still |
| Is grinding slow, but grinding still |
| I can remember when uh, those slavery times |
