Old Slaves Songtext
von Stephen Marley

Wanna see my past? Look at my face
You see them pains from yesterday? Look at my face
Wanna see my face? Look at my face
Was an honest face, look at my face

And this morning feels so close to the past
For just yesterday, you were left in the dark
Yeah and the damn oppression of them chains
Still weighs on my brain

Can you see what I′m saying? Look at my pain
You see them pains from yesterday? Look at my face
You wanna see my face? Look at my face
Was I born free? Was I born a slave? Look at my face

With the whip on your mind and your mind leads your soul astray
And you can see that today you are all just some murdered slaves
'Cause you been thinking that slavery is just from the nation′s past
And that's the puppet masters game


Can you see what I'm saying? Look at my pain
You see them pains from yesterday, look at my face
You wanna see my face? Look at my face
Was I born free? Was I born a slave? Look at my face

Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh

Look at my pain
You see them pains from yesterday? Look at my face
You wanna see my face? Look at my face
Was I born free? Was I born a slave? Look at my face

And this morning feels so close to the past
For still yet today, we are slaves in our yards
And the damn oppression of them chains
Still weighs on our brain

Should I sing it together? Look at my pain
You see them pains from yesterday? Look at my face
You wanna see my face? Look at my face
Was I born free? Was I born a slave? Look at my face

Pain-ain, yeah, look at my pains
I′ll forever come from yesterday
Look at my pains, yeah


Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
