Kanye West - New Slaves lyrics

rate me

My momma was raised in an era when

Clean water was only served to the fairer skin

Doing clothes you would have thought I had help

But they wasn't satisfied unless I picked the cotton myself

You see its broke nigga racism

That's that don't touch anything in the store

And this rich nigga racism

That's that Come here, please buy more

What you want, a Bentley? Fur coat? A diamond chain?

All you blacks want all the same things

Used to only be niggas now everybody plain

Spending everything on Alexander Wang

New Slaves

We used to be only niggas

You see it's leaders and there's followers

But I'd rather be a dick than a swallower

You see it's leaders and there's followers

But I'd rather be a dick than a swallower

I throw these Maybach keys

I wear my heart on the sleeve

I know that we the new slaves

I see the blood on the leaves

I see the blood on the leaves

I see the blood on the leaves

I know that we the new slaves

I see the blood on the leaves

They throwing hate at me

Want me to stay at ease

Fuck you and your corporation

Y'all niggas can't control me

I know that we the new slaves

I know that we the new slaves

I'm about to wild the fuck out

I'm going Bobby Boucher

I know that pussy ain't free

You niggas pussy, ain't me

Y'all throwing contracts at me

You know that niggas can't read

Throw on some Maybach keys

Fuck it, c'est la vie

I know that we the new slaves

Y'all niggas can't fuck with me

Y'all niggas can't fuck with Ye

Y'all niggas can't fuck with Ye

I'll move my family out the country

So you can't see where I stay

So go and grab the reporters

So I can smash their recorders

See they'll confuse us with some bullshit like the New World Order

Meanwhile the DEA

Teamed up with the CCA

They tryna lock niggas up

They tryna make new slaves

See that's that private owned prison

Get your piece today

Prolly all in the Hamptons

Braggin' 'bout their maid

Fuck you and your Hampton house

I'll fuck your Hampton spouse

Came on her Hampton blouse

And in her Hampton mouth

Y'all 'bout to turn shit up

I'm 'bout to tear shit down

I'm 'bout to air shit out

Now what the fuck they gonn say now?

I can't get too high, get too high then

So long, so long, so long

Cannot find faith, …baby

I can't do it

I can't… another love and

I won't believe in the…

Think you can't get too high, get too high

Too high again

Too high.
