Kabaka Pyramid - Never Gonna Be A Slave

Hear me now, Frass
Mek we bun dem, accurate!
Well, I a burn the fire well red
This is what the ancients have said
Things and times getting dread, yeah, yeah
I'm never gonna be, a slave fi dem economy now
Accurate! Huh!
The fire burning immaculate
Kabaka P a mek you know

I'm never gonna be a slave to dem system
Rasta nah look no wuk inna dem business
Never gonna be a slave to dem system
'Lox a grow, do no get it twisted
Never gonna be a slave to dem system
Nah bow nor stoop fi see no wrist bling
Never gonna be a slave
Never gonna be a slave, better to be brave
Accurate

I-man rather do some forming
Plant up a couple acre that be a faker
I prefer be a fruit seller than a teller in a bank of Jamaica
Bankrupt Jamaica
I prefer sell some books and some arts and crafts
Than see the vendor a grind 'pon the boss man chart
Dem mek a profit, but a lost man lost
Me dem nah crucify 'pon no cross

I'm never gonna be a slave to dem system
Rasta nah look no wuk inna dem business
Never gonna be a slave to dem system
'Lox a grow, not even get it twisted
Never gonna be a slave to dem system
Nah bow nor stoop fi see no wrist bling
Never gonna be a slave
Never gonna be a slave, better to be brave
Accurate

No bother worry when the youths dem a follow we
We nah stick around fi boost dem economy
Da supn deh you call school is a fallacy
'Pon all the teacher dem a used psychology
Hey, you say education a the key
But it no free, so dem a slave you fi a fee
Once you graduate and you get your degree
A your student loan you haffi pree

I'm never gonna be a slave to dem system
Rasta nah look no wuk inna dem business
Never gonna be a slave to dem system
'Lox a grow, do no get it twisted
Never gonna be a slave to dem system
Nah bow nor stoop fi see no wrist bling
Never gonna be a slave
Never gonna be a slave, better to be brave, yeah

'Cause as a Rastaman inna dem system
Dem discriminate we, intimidate we
Boss man him ever quick fi incriminate
And a ask what you did fi me lately
You got your wife to feed and a baby as well
Without self sufficiency a slavery, a hell
So when the bills keep piling on
Look inna the mirror and say to yourself

I'm never gonna be a slave to dem system
I nah look no wuk inna dem business
Never gonna be a slave to dem system
'Lox a grow, not even get it twisted
Never gonna be a slave to dem system
Nah bow nor stoop fi see no wrist bling
Never gonna be a slave
Never gonna be a slave, better to be brave

I'm never gonna be a slave to dem system
Rasta nah look no wuk inna dem business
Never gonna be a slave to dem system
Frass, nah stoop low fi see no wrist bling
Never gonna be a slave
Accurate!
The fire burning immaculate, yeah, yeah
