Born To Be A Slave

(Verse 1)

In the cradle, you were rocked with chains,

A future laid out, written in your veins.

Little boys with dreams so bright,

Bound to shadows, lost to night.

(Pre-Chorus)

From the start, they taught you to obey,

Every step, just another day.

In a world where freedom's just a lie,

You were born to work until you die.

(Chorus)

Born to be a slave, from the cradle to the grave,

Born to be a slave, from the cradle to the grave,

From the cradle to the grave, you were born to be a slave

Born to be a slave

Born to be a slave

(Verse 2)

In the schoolyards, learning how to kneel,

Dreams of rebellion, crushed beneath the wheel.

Every man before you, walked this path alone,

Indentured from the start, a fate they’ve always known.

(Pre-Chorus)

With a heart that's heavy, and hands that bleed,

You're just another cog, in a machine of greed.

No escape, no place to hide,

In this endless, unforgiving ride.

(Chorus)

Born to be a slave, from the cradle to the grave,

Born to be a slave, from the cradle to the grave,

From the cradle to the grave, you were born to be a slave

Born to be a slave

Born to be a slave

(Bridge)

No light, no hope, no escape,

Bound to this life, no way to reshape.

From dawn to dusk, you give your all,

Answering forever to the call.

(Pre-Chorus)

From the start, they made it clear,

Your life's a path of blood and tears.

In a world where freedom's just a tale,

You were born to work and never fail.

Your birth certificate, proof of their claim,

A paper that binds you to their game.

(Chorus)

Born to be a slave, from the cradle to the grave,

Born to be a slave, from the cradle to the grave,

From the cradle to the grave, you were born to be a slave

Born to be a slave

Born to be a slave

Born to be a slave, from the cradle to the grave,

Born to be a slave, from the cradle to the grave,

Born to be a slave, from the cradle to the grave,

Born to be a slave, from the cradle to the grave,

(outro)

A slave.

A slave.

A slave.

A slave.
