Slave To The Dollar (Ft. Malik 16)

(verse #1 Preformed by Malik 16)

Slave on Paper, Gimmie 3 Fifths
I slave on Paper, Gimmie 3 shifts
And If I raise a debate up gimme Jesus
And tell me look to him, no i cant see him
Knowing that we all just worshiping the dollar
So they put the name of GOD on it to make it ironic
Wit his eye on it, just so he can oversee me
feel like being chased by triple K, chasing triple G’s
it will grow off trees, but its made from it
guess its poetry that hangs from it
alot change, but its no its no breakthrough
so we got alot of chains which is made one loop
and we keep sampling it, and singing the same song
same spiritual same damn roots
so i dont feel niggaz talking bout “WE IN DA HOUSE”
so imma feel niggaz so you know what im about



(Hook)
I’m slave to a dollar
run away, run away but you better off running with me
I’m slave to a dollar
run away run away for that money because freedom ain't free
I’m slave to a dollar dollar
I’m slave to a dollar dollar


(verse #2)
Tell me how it feel
you dont want to work but you gotta pay the bills
and you seeing how we are slaves
to an hourly wage
Cubicles replaced the Cotton Fields
Americans, we asked for the dream
we servants in a world where the cash is the king
nah its not about white or black
dont make light of the fact
that were slaves, and master is Green
no plantations, he got us in the office
wanna get raises, suck up to the bosses
nah, he aint got a cotton gin
but he got you clocking in
till the end cuz you gotta get dollars
run away? hell no
he got you hostage
underground railroad
is nothing but a coffin
and you might go to jail for
being dishonest
money rules the world... we just living on it

(repeat hook)

Even the NBA trade niggaz for paper,
I'm a victim of numbers, look what my name is (16)
in many ways I am on that slave ship
cuz everyday I'm waiting for payment
From another mans hand, damn
feels like I'm another mans man
my fiances be on some gay shit
but independent wealth can be my Amistad
its either that or I jump off or a shots involved
I can live off the grid and be a cast away
tom hanks my raft away from what master say
i could bomb banks, but everything got master name
Master Card fuck wit me alone that's that Master-bate
Even got me going back for a Masters Degree,
so i can have No Limits and Master the P,
that's why C-H-I -logy doing something that you love to break the slave mentality
