(Slave) [repeat in song]

Slave, yeah [x2]

Slave 2 the system here before I was born

Slave 2 the master, workin' me till I'm worn

The only penthouse I can count on's a big black ball and chain

Slave 2 the system, the future's all arranged

Oh, U better fetch that water, boy [x2]

Slave 2 the system

Thompson's my last name, but my daddy's name is Lloyd

The farther back I trace it, the more it becomes null and void

All my life I've struggled just 2 be called a boy

Slave 2 the system, oh what a joy

Oh, U better fetch that water, boy

Hell if I do!

(Oh, U better fetch that water, boy)

Oh, I'm just a slave 2 the system

Here before I was born

Slave 2 the master, workin' me till I'm worn

Slave 2 the system
