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 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 lynching 
To our utter shame
