Slaves
Slaves.
Kanye West once said 'Slavery is a choice'
See when you think slave,
You think chains
You think violence
You think supierioty versus inferiority
You think powerful against weak.
You think brusies and weaping.
You think long walk to freedom
You think rebellion.
Slavery isn't about what all the pictures history has painted,i mean sourced.
See history forgot to mention our great father Hitler became someone he wasn't supposed to be because of hatred, enslaved by the mindset of revenge caused by irrational decisions he didn't understand.
Slave.
You're a slave to your mind.
Everything begins in your mind,
Flows through to your brain
Carried out by actions that you can never take back.
I sit here trying to think what I'm enslaved by but I can't.
I'm enslaved to the nothingness you thought you had created.
I'm enslaved to everything about you that doesn't attract me anymore.
You're enslaved to him because I painted a picture of him just so you could feel what is was like to have someone other than yourself love you.
Some of you are slaves to depression and you don't even know it yet.
Some of you are slaves to what doesn't grow you but feeds your ego.
Some of us are slaves to an unfair justice system that isn't any different from BC/AC.
Slaves to the mind.
Slave.
Just like Ye said.
Slavery is a choice and some of you have chosen to be slaves of all things unseen.
See we're all slaves to something and can interpret different meanings of the word slave
But remember just because you can't see the chains doesn't mean they don't exist.
