"SLAVES" lyrics

I've been broke for too long, long
I've been broke for too long, long

Never wanna believe in me
Take advantage so easily
Wasn't what it seemed to be
Why you keep deceiving me
Why you think I owe you something
Say it's not enough and
Wanna bring me down, but
Claim what I'm becoming

2 years of my life I feel like I ain't got nowhere
You just keep me at the bottom, trying to come up for some air
And every time I call I get denied I get no answer
Like this movie has no ending but they wanna take the credit

I'm a slave yea
They think they own me
I need a way out
Before they destroy me
I'm a slave yea
They think they own me
I need a way out
Before they destroy me

Started off broke in the city
Bank account runnin on empty
Budget was like 150 a week
Only thing keepin me out of the street
Gaining my balance
I'm back on my feet
Didn't really know what had happened to me
Everything was movin so backwards to me
Losin myself I was chasin the dream!

I been on the low and they all wonder how I made it
They don't know the half and let's be honest and shit changed
I done spent these years up of my life chasin fame
Shout out to my girl, she held me down
She keeps me sane

2 years of my life I feel like I ain't got no where
You just keep me at the bottom, trying to come up for some air
And every time I call I get denied I get no answer
Like this movie has no ending but they wanna take the credit

I'm a slave yea
They think they own me
I need a way out
Before they destroy me
I'm a slave yea
They think they own me
I need a way out
Before they destroy me
