I was taken from my mother's arms And caught in a [?] , what will I do? For a slave wage and some hot problems Out of pocket, out of context clues
Get away, get away, get away 'Cause the fear has gotten hold and I'm struggling It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame That the bar is set so low, I'm caught under it

Get away, get away, get away 'Causе the fear has gotten hold and I'm struggling It's a shamе, it's a shame, it's a shame That the bar is set so low, I'm caught under it
I'm not lost, I was born in this cage I'll watch colors swap, but still nothing changes home Leave the lock, they're getting harder to break Hey, I once had a wise friend say, "In life, there is one goal" One goal For all of our brothers, we must lighten the load
