Stephen Marley - Old Slaves lyrics

You wanna see my face? Look in my pains
Look in my pains look in my pains

You see them pains from yesterday?
Look in my pains

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

Was I born free? Was I born a slave?
Look in my pains wanna see my pains?
Look at my face

With the whip upon your mind so


Your mind leads your soul astray
You can see that today we
Are all modern slaves
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 look in my pains
How far have we gone from yesterday?
Look in my pains

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 gonna sing it again?
Look in my pains

You see them pains from yesterday?
Look in my pains

Was I born free? Are we all slaves?
Look in my pains

How far have we gone from yesterday?
Look in my pains
