slave
King Los Lyrics

You a slave, them bitches say
You are being oppressed and controlled, as women are pointing out

You a slave to the game, you a slave
You are trapped in a never-ending cycle of trying to keep up and be successful

And you love it
Despite the negative consequences, you are addicted to the lifestyle and the status that comes with it

You a slave to the whips and chains
You are being oppressed and controlled, like a slave on a plantation

I said my Rollie got me pussy whipped
The expensive watch I am wearing has control over me and my actions

Yes it do, I admit
I acknowledge the power that material possessions have over me

Every day I'm buying shit
I am constantly purchasing material things to maintain my image and status

Helicopter over top my ex's house, high as shit
I am using my wealth to demonstrate my power and control over others

Take a giant shit on the roof, ooh, I ain't shit
Despite my wealth and power, I still lack basic decency and respect for others

Cause I'm from the hood and I got issues still
Growing up in a disadvantaged community has left me with unresolved emotional problems

12 years old we cook that coke, baby face, whip a pill, grip the steel
I was involved in drug dealing and violence from a young age

Damn ain't this a bitch, ain't no motherfucking fathers
Growing up without a strong father figure has contributed to my negative actions and behaviors

Put the message out, can't protect this house with under armor, no
Even with material possessions and wealth, it is impossible to truly protect oneself from harm or danger

Everybody talking, anybody can get it
Everyone is talking about being successful and powerful, but the competition is fierce and violent

Ain't nobody talking, have your body chalking
No one is willing to speak the truth or confront the violence and oppression that is present

Anybody worried about it can get curried
Anyone who is concerned for their safety or well-being will be eliminated

Or everybody can carry your coffin until you're buried
Those who are loyal to you will carry out your funeral procession and mourn your death

Niggas married to the streets, never scared
People are deeply committed to their gang or criminal lifestyle and are unafraid of the consequences

Never serve an undercover
It is important to protect oneself and one's criminal enterprises by never working with the police

Never bitch and never snitch on your fucking brother
It is crucial to maintain loyalty to one's gang or crime family and never betray them to the authorities

Ill shit, that's the recipe, but real shit it'll set you free my nigga
The criminal lifestyle may seem attractive, but ultimately it will only lead to imprisonment or death

I said my necklace got me pussy whipped, yes it do, I admit
Material possessions such as my necklace have control over me and my actions

My environment is a pirate ship, lion pit
My surroundings are violent and dangerous, like a ship full of pirates or a pit of lions

It's supply demand, flip a pie, and acquire shit
The criminal enterprise is driven by the laws of supply and demand, and the acquisition of wealth and material possessions

That's right money talk, ain't got none, then be quiet bitch
In the criminal world, it is all about money, and if you don't have any, you are not worth listening to

If they shoot your pop when you 16 that's when the shit get real, grip the steel
Experiencing a traumatic event such as the death of a parent at a young age can lead one down a dangerous path of violence and revenge

Everybody's a victim, the vindictive system been dicking us down
The system is rigged against people in disadvantaged communities, and everyone is a victim of the system's oppression and violence

Been digging a hole to stick my niggas in
The system is designed to trap and oppress people in disadvantaged communities

Finish em before we even get started
The odds are stacked against us from the beginning, making it nearly impossible to succeed

We been falling before we ever thought of walking
Our lack of opportunity and systemic oppression has hindered our ability to succeed or even get started

All this heartlessness just evolved
The violence and oppression in our communities has become so widespread and normalized that it seems like the only way of life

Listen to unconscious loss, niggas monsters
The violence and trauma that we have experienced has turned us into cruel and heartless individuals

And y'all bitches looking for sponsers, you just slaves
Women who are seeking a way out of poverty through relationships with wealthy men are just perpetuating their own oppression and enslavement
