[Intro]
Before I’ll be a slave, I’ll be buried in my grave
And go home to my God and be free, oh
Ayo

[Verse 1]
Slave to the game, contract, whip or chain (Uh-huh)
Own your name, what you want?
Big dough or the change? (What you want?)
Fu*k the fame, the fortune is more important
These n!ggas signing their life away with no lawyer (Stupid)
Record exec’s really ain’t for ya
Too many hands in your pocket before you profit
On your quest to be popping
Be smart, don’t settle for a stupid option
You the talent, they need you, you who they watching (Facts)
A&R’s pushing luxury cars out here fronting like they the star
With their whole arm in your cookie jar
Taking a bigger piece of your pie than you are (‘Fu*k outta here)
Jerked for your pub ’cause you didn’t read the nuance
Rob you for your socks while you still got your shoe on
Getting nothing but pennies for your thoughts, but, you on (You on, though)
So, fu*k clout, bro, it’s dough to make
In business you don’t get what you deserve, son
You get what you negotiate

[Chorus]
Back in the days, we was slaves, whips and chains
Fast forward, they sell their soul for whips and chains
Pennies for your thoughts, pop these pills for pain
Now you dumb, deaf and numb
Signed over your name
Back in the days, we was slaves, whips and chains
Fast forward, they sell their soul for whips and chains
Pennies for your thoughts, pop these pills for pain
Now you dumb, deaf and numb
Signed over your name

[Verse 2]
It’s the game, these n!ggas’ll finesse you if you let ’em
You a corporation, when you locked they spell your name in big letters (Dead ass)
Wonder why I do your research
It’s all about self-preservation, fu*k you, I feed me first (Fu*k you)
Back in the days, I’d be a runaway slave
Fu*k working for free, my destiny’s to be paid
I would hide in the field and stab master in the face
Go kidnap his wife and drown that b!tch in the lake (B!tch!)
I need my cake on time and not a minute late
It’s designed to keep you in debt and never elevate
Better stay wise and analyze, gotta use your eyes
To trick the gods, the devil’ll try to use disguise (Uh-huh)
Acting like your best friend, granting all your wishes
Tryna get you to sell your soul for minor riches (‘Fu*k outta here)
S*it is vicious when dealing with crooks
You wanna hide something from one of these n!ggas?
Put it in a book

[Outro]
(Damn, Conductor, where’d you find this?)
Oh, freedom over me
And before I’ll be a slave, I’ll be buried in my grave
And go home to my God and be free, oh
