Old Slaves

Marley Stephen

Wanna see my face? 
look in my pains. 
you see them pains from yesterday? 
look in my face. 
wanna see my face
look in my pains
whats up on the streets
and this morning feels so close to the past 
for just yesterday we were left in the dark 
and the oppression of those chains still weighs on your and my brain 

Can you see what I'm saying? 
look in my pains. 
you see them pains from yesterday? 
look in my pains. 
You wanna see my face?
look in my pains
was i born free? 
was I born a slave? 
look in my pains. 

With the whip upon your mind so your mind leads your soul astray. 
You can see that today we are all modern slaves. 
Cause we've been thinking that slavery is just from them ancient days, 
but that's the puppet master's game! 

Can you see what I'm saying? 
look in my pains. 
you see them pains from yesterday? 
look in my pains. 
You wanna see my face?
look in my pains. 
was I born free? 
was I born a slave? 
look in my pains. 

ooo-ooo-ooooo-oooo-ooo-oooo ooooh
ooo-ooo-ooooo-oooo-ooo-oooo ooooh

Look in my pains. 
you see them pains from yesterday?
look in my face
you wanna see my face?
look in my pains
was I born free?
was I born a slave?
look in my pains

And this morning feels so close close to the past 
for still yet today we are slaves in our yards 
because oppression of those chains still weighs on my and your brain 

should I sing it again? 
look in my pains. 
you see them pains from yesterday? 
look in my pains. 
you wanna see my face
look in my pains
was i born free? 
are we all slaves? 
look in my pains. 
hey-yyyy yeah-yyyyy-yeaaa
Look in my pains 
How far you come from yesterday?
look in my pains

Ooo-ooo-ooooo-oooo-ooo-oooo ooooh,
ooo-ooo-ooooo-oooo-ooo-oooo ooooh,
ooo-ooo-ooooo-oooo-ooo-oooo ooooh,
ooo-ooo-ooooo-oooo-ooo-oooo ooooh.
