Old slaves

Wanna see my pains !
Look at my face,
You see dem pains for yesterday,
Look at my face.

Wanna see my face !
Look at my pain ,
Was I born a slave ?
Look at my face,
And dis mornin'
feels so close to the past!
For just yesterday
We were left to the dark
And di oppression of dem chains
Still weighs on mother brains

Can you see what i'm sayin'
Look at my face,
You see dem pains for yesterday,
Look at my face.
You wanna see my face
Look at my pains
Was I born free?
Was I born a slave?
Look at my face

Wid da whip pon your mind and your mind
leads your soul astray !
Then you can see that today
You are all just a modern slaves!
Cause you been thinking that slavery is just form them ancient days !
Uheh!
That's the puppet master's game!

Can you see what i'm sayin'
Look at my face,
You see dem pains for yesterday,
Look at my face.
You wanna see my face
Look at my pains
Was I born free?
Was I born a slave?
Look at my face

Aaaaaaaaah !x2

Look at my face,
You see dem pains for yesterday,
Look at my face.
You wanna see my face
Look at my pains
Was I born free?
Was I born a slave?
Look at my face

And dis mornin'
Feels so close to the past!
For still yet today
We are slaves in our yard
And di oppression of dem chains
Still weighs on mother brains

Should I sing it again?

Look at my face,
You see dem pains for yesterday,
Look at my face.
You wanna see my face
Look at my pains
Was I born free?
Was I born a slave?
Look at my face
