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 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 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 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 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 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
