[Verse 1 Knox Brown] Calling, calling, they sit you down Meeting after meeting they churn em out All in my head, all in my city Numerous ways to let you down I know, I know, I know, I know You cant touch a kettle, its burning hot Always left alone and no ones ever home But only open up the door when opportunity knocks like... [Hook Knox Brown] Oh hey yeah Oh we dont wanna be slaves, we dont wanna be slaves Oh hey yeah No, not gonna stand it, not gonna stand it Oh hey yeah Oh we dont wanna be slaves, we dont wanna be slaves Oh hey yeah No, not gonna stand it, not gonna stand it [Verse 2 Knox Brown] Oh I keep falling, falling, and falling down The meek shall rise above the ground All in my mind, all in my city Will find a million ways to drag you down I know, I know, I said I know Cause Ive been told many times before Always left alone and no ones ever home But only open up the door when opportunity knocks like... [Hook Knox Brown] Oh hey yeah Oh we dont wanna be slaves, we dont wanna be slaves Oh hey yeah No, not gonna stand it, not gonna stand it Oh hey yeah Oh we dont wanna be slaves, we dont wanna be slaves Oh hey yeah No, not gonna stand it, not gonna stand it [Verse 3 Anderson .Paak] You spent your whole life working a nine to five You put your dreams on hold for nickles and dimes Dont you remember what it was you wanted in life? Did you forget about the pennies you threw in the well wishing? Your grave shift would be over, you dying inside Oh you a slave to the rhythm, your body and mind prison Now how do you find freedom?
