Lyrics Slave Driver - Dennis Brown

Slave Driver

Ev’rytime I hear the crack of a whip
My blood runs cold
I remember on the slave ship
How they brutalize the very souls
Today they say that we are free
Only to be chained in poverty
Good God, I think it’s illiteracy;
It’s only a machine that makes money
Slave driver, the table is turn, y’all.
Ooh-ooh-oo-ooh
Slave driver, uh!
The table is turn, baby, now;
(catch a fire)
Catch a fire, so you can get burn, baby, now.
(catch a fire)
Slave driver, the table is turn, y’all;
(catch a fire)
Catch a fire: so you can get burn, now.
(catch a fire)
Ev’rytime I hear the crack of a whip
My blood runs cold
I remember on the slave ship
How they brutalize the very soul
O God, have mercy on our souls!
Oh, slave driver, the table is turn, y’all;
(catch a fire)
Catch a fire, so you can get burn.
(catch a fire)
Slave driver, the table is turn, y’all;
(catch a fire)
Catch a fire …
