MODERN SLAVES Lyrics

Yeah, Big Bhubesi

(Dreamz!)

Leonardo Sithebe

I refrain from negative perceptions

I manifest elegance, I'm destined for my blessings

Investin' in my efforts

I'm the treasure from the trenches

They never could compare him

Bars so hot like the temperature has risen

I'm a lyrical magician

God MC, I am biblical to Christians

Go against me, you'll be in critical condition

The pinnacle's the mission

Never lose the vision

This nigga's too relentless

I'm the Ancient Egyptian

Who raised up the pyramids

When the name was still Kemet

I am The Last Pharaoh

I was made to be winnin'

I was born divine, the Earth made me a sinner

I was born to shine and to make me some millions

I aim to be brilliant, uh

You know the state indoctrinating the children

Social media made us fake, we ain't sane when we livin'

Why? Why?

We still slaves to the system

Gotta cop a chain so I can claim to be the realest

Cop a diamond ring for a slay queen, you trippin'

Got the gold fangs, you think you made it, you winnin'

Nah, nah, you just a slave to the system

All of y'all fake, y'all was raised to be ig'nant

Grew up in a maze and they caged other niggas

I am Afrocentric and I blame it on pigment

I refuse to be a slave to the system

Bass Reeves

I fuck around and have the Massa's ass beat

I'm the slave that ran off the plantation, duckin' mad heat

The African that jumped in oceans

Death is better than bondage like Killmonger spoke it

Now I quote it on a rap beat

You hate on us, sad thing

We never really had things

Just like you, everything I do is for the family

Capitalism, modern slaves are in debt

Niggas max their cards out for the chains on their necks

Is there anything you gave to your set?

Help your family, your friends and the place that you rep

'Til then you ain't gain my respect

You a lame, I'm a vet

I am King Ramesses

My ancestors were enslaved, I'll avenge

There's a whole lotta cake, I'ma get some

I refuse to be a slave to the system

And you know, it ain't no savin' the victims

Who already slaves to the system

Gotta cop a chain so I can claim to be the realest

Cop a diamond ring for a slay queen, you trippin'

Got the gold fangs, you think you made it, you winnin'

Nah, nah, you just a slave to the system

All of y'all fake, y'all was raised to be ig'nant

Grew up in a maze and they caged other niggas

I am Afrocentric and I blame it on pigment

I refuse to be a slave to the system

Gotta cop a chain so I can claim to be the realest

Cop a diamond ring for a slay queen, you trippin'

Got the gold fangs, you think you made it, you winnin'

Nah, nah, you just a slave to the system

All of y'all fake, y'all was raised to be ig'nant

Grew up in a maze and they caged other niggas

I am Afrocentric and I blame it on pigment

I refuse to be a slave to the system
