Slave For Life~
I close my eyes and remember the place,
The place that makes me happy
The place where I can remember thoughts of you
When you left I thought all was lost…
Until I finally met her,
Walking through the mall I saw her
Small waist and such a sweet face we finally met.
Today we are considered as one
Many may not agree but we are in love and we are a family
She loves me and I love her!
Dreams of a better life drives us to wake up every day
Working hard to provide and
To show her how a true queen feels
This I know…
A constant reminder of my laziness
I am stuck at work
Considered a house nigga I have to work
Educated and dressed well I am a slave
I work everyday and own nothing
Modern day slavery extends to all low-income family’s
Work every day and be considered free
Back in the day you would be just another slave like me~
