Slave The Temptations

[Intro]
Ooh, uh! Ooh uh, uh!
Ooh, uh! Ooh uh, uh!
Ooh, uh! Ooh uh, uh!

[Verse 1: Eddie Kendricks and Dennis Edwards]
Hear that sound
The hammers pound and pound
From sun up to sundown
Men from all walks of life
Are livin' here in shame
Now they're known by numbers
They've been stripped of their name

[Chorus: Eddie Kendricks]
Oh, breaking rocks
Serving my time
So I can get out to find
Peace of mind
Jailer, bring me water (Jailer, bring me water)
I can't pound no longer

Ooh, uh! Ooh uh, uh!

[Verse 1: Eddie Kendricks and Dennis Edwards]
In the morning I slave in the hot sun for little or no wage
At night I'm locked in, like an animal in a cage
Man stunted on me with a gun
Sayin' "I bet a man"
Oh, in a hole I havе to spend
The rest of my timе
