lirik lagu yakithekid - still slaves
[verse 1]
i’m in the land of the free but i’m still seeing slaves
no, i ain’t political and this ain’t race~bait (nah)
this is spiritual, ’cause one day, everything is gonna fade (yeah)
life is like a marathon, we running 5ks
we ain’t ready, still struggling to find a steady pace (what)
still tryna find joy by checking every wicked place (huh)
so we walk around proud of how this minimum wage
that we saved up finally let us buy our own chains (woo~ooh)
i ain’t talkin’ johnny dang, it’s the drugs and the guns
that we use to take the life of someone’s one and only son (boom)
the checks and deposits, the s~x and the violence
no matter what you dabble in, we all in bondage
and, honest, i seen folks who had it all and some (facts)
looks sweet until you swallowing the barrel of a gun
and you look up to the sky crying, “how could this happen?”
you done had it all, but still, you can’t be happy
it means nothing if you never had god (facts)
faith is a medium, the wealth a mirage (that’s real)
all in rebellion, the sin is the cause (yeah)
death you will reap when your flesh is a god (flesh is a god)
huh, so take this pride out my life, lord
freedom ain’t free, it’s for my life that you died for
light versus darkness, sin is the bondage (that’s right)
a wicked man saved, i wear your grace as a garment (talk to ’em, son)
still this world where i reside is malevolent (what, what?)
we need development, we not in our element (talk that talk, bruh)
made in his image, but we walk like skeletons (woo)
drowning in our decadence, this evil so prevalent (sheesh)
bombs in the middle east, shots at the president
sick people in the streets, life is irrelevant
wolves in the church, now the threat is the reverend
doctrines of devils, now we act so irreverent
jesus
[instrumental bridge]
[verse 2]
in this world we survive in
who gon’ be the ones to stop all the violence?
who gon’ be the ones to pray through the crisis?
state of emergency, don’t y’all hear the sirens?
who gon’ be the ones to stand and be righteous?
who gon’ be the ones to face every giant
with just a couple stones and the heart of a lion?
rock to the dome, like the stone temple pilots
in his glory, there is life for the dying
death to the tyrant, these bones come alive with
a touch, satan tryna sell a bluff, we ain’t buyin’
like the horror film the way the lamb stayed silent
at the hands of pilate, the crowd loves violence
screaming “crucify him!”, the people so blinded
sin clouds judgement in exchange for compliance
yeah, we still slaves, but this time, it ain’t biased
fronting with the bracelets and chains made of diamond
to cover up the demons that we cuddle with in private
everybody bleeding, we just act like we fine
this disease is called pride and it strengthens with time
other folks call it pious, back to b.c.
’cause this message seems to be cc’d like mrs. winans
i trust the messiah, so i know that i seen
the goodness of god in a den full of lions
amen
