[Verse 1]
Let me tell you a little story about the slavemaster (Slavemaster)
Use a whip on your ass so you behave faster (Behave faster)
You got chains on your neck, and the man's respect
You'll work all damn day, but you will never see a check
In the field. Cotton you yield. Your skin peels off your back
From the crack of the whip, it won't heal
Ya wish you had a shield 'cause he wields iron
So when you act up, he smokes ya and keeps firing
And it's tiring, forget about recreation (Forget it)
One wrong move and it's death you're facing
White motherfuckers got the ball and chain
On your leg, and in the form of religion on your brain
They say, "You the devil." You say, "Who the devil?"
Some of us was house niggas, some of us was rebels
Some tried to get along the best they could
And didn't nobody use the phrase, "It's all good"
Would you? They got you living like a shrew
They throw you pig lips and chicken gizzards, then you make a stew
They give us a white Jesus to appease us
We talk among ourselves and hope that nobody sees us
They had our brothers beating us, called us cretins plus monkeys
They just flunkies, mistreating us
The master said, "If you don't whip 'em, you're dead"
It was fucking with his head, but he beat us instead
And we bled, red blood flowing like a flood
Then he'd rape your mother, stick her face in the mud
They were ruthless! If you tried to front, you'd be toothless
Some tried to run even though it seemed useless
Virginity was torn, soon, babies was born that was half white
And now his skin is kind of light
You think you're special, because they let you
Oversee the carnage? But I bet you
Will get hung, even if you stick out your tongue
Cause they pull out the shank and stick it right through your lung
Now it's '96 and white people say, "Forget it
It's all in the past." And some even regret it
'Cause they think we'll set it, now my mission's to get federal
So I can raise a Black family without you devils
And you know how that goes
Let me tell you a little story about the slavemaster (Slavemaster)
