Letras de Poor Slave

Poor slave, take the shackles off your body
Poor slave, put the shackles on your mind

Please listen to me carefully
And if I′m wrong, then correct me
But if I'm right, mine′s not the praise
Now let us see if we agree
The definition of a slave
Means one's not free entirely
So a slave is still a slave
If he can't think independently

Poor slave, take the chains off your body
Poor slave, put the chains on your mind

A tree is still a tree
Though it shed its leaves when winter falls
But it blooms again in spring
But it did not lose its roots at all
But a slave remains a slave
Without the knowledge of his roots
Until he′s taught the past
Not just some, but all the truths

Poor slave, take the shackles off your body
Poor slave, put the shackles on your mind

There was a brother the other day
Telling me he′s feeling high
Well, I just sadly had to sigh
'Cause drugs and booze is lowering
And if I′m asked how to get high
I tell the truth and not a lie
The highest high a man can get
Is from wisdom, knowledge and understanding

Poor slave, ease the pressure off your body
Poor slave, put the pressure on your mind
Poor slave, better take the pressure off your body
Poor slave, put the pressure on your mind
Poor slave, take the shackles off your body
Poor slave, put the shackles on your mind
