Slave Ship Songs Lyrics

[Verse 1: FinaL OutlaW]
I'm a tape recorder reminding you of the day you raped your daughter
I'll make you feel like you don't deserve to be named a father
My lyrics make people cringe uncomfortable and bothered
Can you stare into the eyes of your food before its slaughtered?
Like a native after the kill giving the spirit honor
But you won't take responsibility cause you're a coward
Its already packaged you don't need to care just devour
Refusing to face the truth an apathetic monster
I was blessed with the ability to see through impostors
Maybe one day I'll be categorized as a martyr
A pioneer a warrior and fire-starter
As I grow old I can feel my soul dimming darker
And people wonder why I'm mad
After the lies as they insincerely apologized before my eyes
Everything I have ever known was just a mirage
I want to intimately get to know the wrath of God
This life is hard and I suffered like a dying dog
I watched my parents slave away up against the odds
And though they struggled they remained together made it far
Like slaves falling in love on the Amistad
Picture perfect poetically crafted to touch your heart
Rediscovered 2000 years from now as timeless art
Perhaps then I'll be looking down from a thundercloud
Observing the cries of the broken hearted getting loud

[Hook: FinaL OutlaW]
So if you ever wonder how we made it this far
Don't let school explain who we are
Who we are X2
Cause we were singing all along
The thing that kept us strong
Our slave ship songs
Our slave field songs

[Verse 2: FinaL OutlaW]
I'm the spawn of rape creating a canvas of art
That will prove that even you have been playing a part
In the misery of the bums who sleep in the park
By making knowledge expensive and unreasonably hard
To acquire if even if you are exceptionally smart
Cause financially the circumstances keep you in the dark
That's capitalism a system that's already outdated One day it'll be considered lacking sophistication
Isn't it interesting how a monkey like me would know this?
Even despite my upbringing I still managed to focus
That's the beauty of street life
You learn a thing or two like a appreciating the little that belongs to you
So when you do get your hands on money you save it up
And reinvest in this music for these aimless thugs
Cause public education sucks
So they look up to rappers who made it and never gave a f*ck
Do you get it now?

[Hook: FinaL OutlaW]
So if you ever wonder how we made it this far
Don't let school explain who we are
Who we are X2
Cause we were singing all along
The thing that kept us strong
Our slave ship songs
Our slave field songs

[Verse 3: FinaL OutlaW]
This is revenge for the days I was afraid in the dark
All the times I had to go to sleep with pain in my heart
So sit back like a cave man amazed at the sparks
Watching me work on holiness like slaves in an ark
Didn't expect weak animals to escape from the tar?
Raise up in arms take your nation and claim them as ours
Hell yea my generation is dark 80's baby
Raised in the 90's finding nickel bags in the park
Simple minds will try to compare me to other with guts
That aren't punks when it comes to pointing out what isn't just
The type that step it up when their conditions are rough
When finding roaches in your apple jacks isn't enough
Decisions are tough when your intuition is just
A reflection of what's playing on television at lunch
And they say that we have no reason to be freaking nuts
The same conservatives responsible for advertising to us

[Hook: FinaL OutlaW]
So if you ever wonder how we made it this far
Don't let school explain who we are
Who we are X2
Cause we were singing all along
The thing that kept us strong
Our slave ship songs
Our slave field songs
