Verse 1<br />
We’re all slaves from the cradle to the grave<br />
From the wound of you moms to the day you pass away,<br />
I don’t give a fuck what you say, we’re all locked down in<br />
chains, Submission, man, that’s the word of the day,<br />
We’re all salves to need of being praised, Appreciated,<br />
emancipated or going against the grain, It’s all the same<br />
what ever its cocaine, or just being vain, Smoking weed,<br />
seeking enlightenment or simply just trying to maintain,<br />
Man, the thing is slavery can work on many levels,<br />
And it’s not a question about you facing your fears,<br />
It’s more realizing that we all have vices, Good or bad? I<br />
don’t know I’m not trying to be righteous, Whatever it takes<br />
for you to get through your crisis, It’s all good with me, who<br />
the fuck I’m to say I don’t like it, I’m just thinking out loud,<br />
my thoughts poured out on paper, Line after line the quill<br />
cut like a razor, I’m ducking the slugs of temptation,<br />
working the trenches trying to avoid self-deception,<br />
a slave to my own reflections, confessing that Coloss<br />
himself is fiending for most of these things he just<br />
mentioned<br />
<br />
Chorus<br />
Emancipation – will not set you free<br />
Maybe for the moment but take it from me<br />
Self starvation – is not the key<br />
I tried all those things but I still feel incomplete<br />
It’s easier to judge than to try to understand<br />
It’s hard to be a righteous man<br />
<br />
Verse 2<br />
We’re all slaves from the cradle to the grave,<br />
take your pick; power trips, religion or fame,<br />
the thing is, from start to finish, man, we all sinners<br />
we’re all wearing shackles, there’s plenty of examples,<br />
food or tobacco, or zipping the Chapoli chateau<br />
drinking firewater or just trying to stay sober, coffein, the<br />
dream of cream, paranoia, even a pure thing such as love<br />
can destroy you, all I’m saying is that a vice is a vice,<br />
good or bad its part of your life, take coloss for instance I’m<br />
doing too much drinking, drunk or sober I’m still fucked up,<br />
same difference, I sleep too much, think about sex too much<br />
probably confess too much, so let me capture the essence of<br />
this whole song in this last line. I probably smoked a whole<br />
pack when I conceived this rhyme<br />
<br />
